Ilovebees.com pinpoints upcoming Halo 2 events

Cryptic alternate-reality game/marketing campaign Web site lists four locales where Halo 2 will be shown, will be played; Microsoft confirms game plan.

By now, every gamer and his or her dog has heard about ilovebees.com, the alternate-reality game being used to hype Halo 2. The URL, which was briefly flashed at the end of the cinematic trailer for the upcoming game, started out as an innocent-looking site for a Napa, California honey company. However, the site became increasingly garbled, appearing to be the subject of some sort of strange hacker attack. Weird ramblings appeared on the site, apparently from an artificial intelligence-like Cortana in the original Halo. Then a series of countdowns appeared on the site, one of which promised that "this medium will metastasize" on August 10.

An update from Microsoft this morning has provided detailed intel on what gamers can expect. Calling it "a culmination to the Halo 2 I Love Bees program," a Microsoft spokesperson told GameSpot that "Bee Keepers" will be "guided to four locations across the country for a special event."

"Upon arrival," we were told, "the Bee Keepers will find their way to a theater where they will receive a special commemorative DVD (and a collector's lanyard) as well as a special chapter of the ILB game specifically created for the event." Did you just read that? It's ok!?! you can do a doubletake.

Microsoft said those in attendance "will have a chance to be among the first in the world to have hands-on play with the final version of Halo 2 multiplayer." Awesome!?! My prayers have been Answered. Thank you Bungie/Microsoft

The spokesperson added that all four theaters will be equipped with Xbox consoles, which will be linked via Xbox Live to one another.

The event is scheduled for this Thursday night from 9pm to midnight EST, and 6pm to 9pm PST.

Reasons why you just got Owned!?!


  • First of all, it is obvious you did not read both of my posts

  • Secondly, I did search... Not one post that say's Microsoft Confirms the event.

  • Third, the link you provided did not work.

  • Fourth and most importantly.... READ before you SEARCH and POST trout

umm... it is trout... I was going to trout, but was too lazy knowing someone else would... the gamspot link you posted has been plastered through a number of threads, and talk about what MS has said people will be getting, from that article, has been going on for a couple of days...

your comments may not be trout, but the subject is...

Trout
cool, I've officially trouted, and just before the arg ended... how quaint Smile

Embarassed fixed my broken linkage.

However, you can't pwnz me cause you've been posting this same thing in to multiple threads. It only needs to be posted one.

vpisteve posted that link the first time, and no he didn't quote the article, but you don't need to post it FIVE times:

DeceptaconS:

[Awesome!?!]MicroSoft Confirms the Combat Training Exercise

[META] Chicago Combat Training Exercise Coordination

[META] Austin Combat Training Exercise Coordination

[META] San Francisco Combat Training Exercise Coordination

[META] New York City Combat Training Exercise Coordination

Shad0:

Press

SuperDunner:

d (I don't make these titles, really)

Sure looks to me like those two previous posters said Microsoft in their posts and were talking about that same gamespot article.
