probobly another Microsoft cryptic site.

Halo 1 had the Cortana Letters.

Microsoft put Bungie up to www.ilovebees.com to advertise Halo 2 in a very cryptic way.

I suspect MS is also behind this, most likely to advertise the new box, as Xavier said.

As time went on, more and more stuff appeared on ILoveBees, making more and more mysterious. Same thing might happen here- keep an eye on it.

EDIT: hmmmm..... I opened up the source code, and found this

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd

dunno what it is, seeing as I can't open it.

I also got the hidden message "you are the source"

EDIT2: some guy from the halo.bungie.org forums apparently figured something out. Here's his post:

:

It looks like Microsoft has a new ARG out, ourcolony.net, probably for Xbox 2 since the countdown timer ends 4 days before E3 and early pictures show a new controller. The password for the site is "play". It works by setting up a colony or joining one. They you have to accomplish tasks to earn points and get on the leaderboard. More info is in the gamespot story linked below. Anyone interested in getting an HBO "colony" up and running? I thought ilovebees was cool but I know it pissed some people off.

I got to here: http://www.ourcolony.net/lounge/

where I got this message:

Message from Gamem8ker

Well done! You're inside but what now?

you're not the only one that made it this far. there are others with you. it's colony against colony and to the winner, well, the winner gets all. the deeper you go, the more you'll know what you'll find out.

just like fight club, we've got a few rules of our own. they're simple and they'll help you get where you want to go.

You're not going to make it to the end if you try to solo this, there's strength in numbers
be diverse with your people and thoughts
don't forget to collaborate

and you have to use what got you here in the first place... knowledge.

now you need to choose. do you play or do you lead your own colony to victory?

colonize.
