Bungie elsker å lage kryptiske scenarier rundt sine kommende spill. I forkant av Halo 2 satte de gamere over hele verden i aksjon med sin I Love Bees-kampanje, som involverte telefonkiosker og kryptiske ledetråder over hele internett. Nå er de i gang igjen på Bungie.net. Egentlig skulle Bungie annonsere et nytt spill under årets E3-messe, men ble stoppet av Microsoft i siste sekund. Nå har de vistnok fått lov til å begynne å lette på sløret, og det gjør de svært gradvis.
Teksten under her er fra Bungies nettside, og skal vistnok hinte om deres neste spill. Les selv, og se om du blir noe klokere.
