Note that the countdown (in the source) is 9/25 GMT 14:07:07. Bungie is on the US west coast, which is GMT-7.

The time translates to 07:07:07, and we all know about the sevens. Razz

I have no idea what it's for, but it does feature our little friend the Superintendent.

Sweet! Seems to point to an expansion for Halo 3 with the player probably being an ODST (hence the 'Prepare to Drop' and drop pods).

Just who is the Superintendent though? I guess he's the AI responsible for looking after the running of the city. Not sure how he'll figure into the story though.

EDIT: Just noticed that at about 0.13 in the vid the left billboard says City of New Mombasa, so I'm guessing this will be set during the Covenant invasion in Halo 2, and that the massive explosion that happens is the Prophets ship going into slipspace

Rumour has it, it's for a new Halo expansion or a new game altogether, but this one would be a squad based campaign.

The four locations shown in the HUD:
TANAGA.0086: A form of Filipino poetry, consisting of four lines with seven syllables each (7777).

LUMUMBA.0624: Patrice Lumumba, first Prime Minister of Congo.

MBARAKI.2552: A maritime port in Mombasa.

MAKADARA.0339: Makadara is an electoral consituency of Kenya.

Dunno if all this means anything to anyone. I'm not much into the Halo mythos. Seeing as the city in the trailer is New Mombasa, the last three locations should be streets or suburbs named after important african people/places. Tanaga, though, was obviously chosen for the number 7.

Has anyone transcribed/deciphered the reboot-code that scrolls by before the SI begins to reinitialize?

Oh, and I'm back. Time for another Halo ARG, folks!

finally, a Halo ARG I can actually get in on! (circumstances prevented it with ILoveBees and Iris)

My guess is this is leading to the PC release of Halo 3 with expanded content.

No.

It's confirmed that it's a expansion for Halo 3's campaign, on the Xbox? Where did you get the PC idea? A quick look at the flamboyant "Xbox" logo at the end disproves that.
