Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Is this the countdown to Halo HD?

Techinfinite

Bungie recently created a dummy company called Podophobia Entertainment as a way to cover up any future copyrights so that journalists don’t discover recently filed patents. Well, the company’s site has a countdown which started today and it’s looking good for Halo fans. More info and site address below.

The countdown started today and it’s counting down 117 days which is also the day Halo: Combat Evolved first came out ten years ago. Coincidence? Clearly not. Bungie has been known to do these sorts of things like the difference between the Reach beta’s end and release date was 117 days. It’s sorta kinda obvious that this is referencing a Halo HD remake. E3 reveal? More than likely.

Er no, CE came out November 15th, which is why Gears 3 is out this September, so Halo can come out in November.

Edit - I doubt Bungie have anything, probably just going to celebrate a big part of their history.



 

It is 116 days, 6 hours, 18 minutes, 44 seconds
until Friday, 16 September 2011, 19:00:00 (New York time)

The website says Please Wait... Incoming Trasmistion... Reciving Distress Signal... and repeats itself, could the distress signal be from the Pillar of Autum form Halo:CE??? If so the countdown could be for a Halo CE HD?

I doubt this has anything to do with Halo considering, Bungie no longer works on Halo.  If anything to do with Halo, maybe just some kinda special anniversary announcement from them, because they are currently hard at work on whatever their contract with Activision has them doing.

At E3 though, MS is sure to announce something Halo.  Whether it be a new map pack for Reach, special 10th anniversary re-release of Halo CE, or maybe something new in the Halo universe, we should at least get something.



Doesn't make sense cause Bungie is done making Halo.



New franchise to start on the day halo was originally released?

Yeah this is a tough one. Initially I want to think it's no big deal for the reasons that others have mentioned BUT this is Bungie. I mean the 117 thing is what makes me flip-flop, why 117 if it's not Halo related? Gotta hand it to Bungie though, they know how to get the nerds riled up.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
