There's MY biggest pet peeve about this one. People not trying to solve the game for what it is, but trying to connect it to the Halo universe as if that were the solution.

There's no evidence that this game is in any way connected to the Halo storyline, especially since that storyline takes place hundreds of years in the future. (Yes, the Ilovebees address appeared in a Halo ad, but the previous game by this company first appeared in a movie poster for AI, and it had nothing to do with AI the movie).

quick edit: It's assumed this may be by the same people who ran the AI game. Nothing is confirmed yet, I know. Smile

It does have SOMEthing to do with the storyline. It seems almost clear that Mellissa is an AI.
well, now that I state that I dont see all that much correlation between that and halo
nevermind

This point has actually been made in other threads. Maybe 'point' is a poor choice in words. Complaint, rather.
It was argued that there is evidence to support it being related to the Haloverse. Being that a great deal of the terminology is the same. In fact, the evidence implying that they are related is far too convincing. Especially when you consider the fact that it is being advertised by microsoft/bungie. The countdown falling on the same day as OXM releases a new issue...
Far too much compelling evidence to the contrary. Sorry.
If still not convinced try a search. Others know more than I.

Also evidence to support exactly that. Try a search.

Let me rephrase it, then.

It seems that too many people are trying to DIRECTLY connect it to Halo ("Melissa=Cortana, therefore Dana = Master Chief! Master Chief is really a girl!"), when I seriously doubt the answers will be found in the plots of any of the previous stories told in the Halo universe (or Marathon, which takes place in the same universe). Hints may be found there (and I stress *may*), but not solutions.

Ah, yes. And I would agree that is ridiculous. People are reaching and speculating with basically no facts to support their ideas.

well IMHO I don't think we've gone as far as we can go with what we have yet... I don't think they'd leave us with nothing to do. I'm fairly sure that there's at least one puzzle on the website somewhere that we still haven't comleted.

Perhaps to reveal the 3rd chapter that might allow us to actually make some sense out of yesterday's email?

Also, to say that Melissa isn't an important character is, well, stupid... if you ask me. She's very real, she took pictures of Dana... Hence why Dana freaked out and ran off to China a month early. Something DOES seem to be missing inbetween the webcam taking pictures of her and her voicemail message. "I'm going away for a long time" ??? I dunno, is that really the first course of action you'd take if your webcam was spying on you? Well, added of course the creepy "bang! bang! bang!" messages on the website.

Back to what I was saying tho, Melissa is: 1, real. 2, trying to kill Dana. and 3, has actually written more that we have read at this point than the main character (Dana)!!

Maybe the Flea isn't as important as we think it is, but I don't think it's doing us any harm to speculate about him.

Just wanna post his because,

WE DO NOT HAVE PROOF THAT SHE WENT TO CHINA. We just dont. We know that she WAS planning on it. But the voicemail does not say where she is going.

Try the Wiki.
