Halo Xbox One Possible ARG?! UPDATE #3

ILoveBees 2.0?

Check out these tweets!

Discuss!

Update! The 405th source have quoted something from the original ILoveBees campaign.

Update! What is this? Countdown is zero… http://www.ilovebees.com/reconstruction_archive.2.0.html

Hummmm… looks like we’ll have to keep our eyes on this. I suppose it could be nothing, but with the recent concept art reveal, I feel Halo Xbox One’s marketing will begin to ramp up.
but why Larry Hyrb and not a 343 employee? The reference to Bee’s certainly makes it feel like I Love Bee’s 2.0 though.
So, I think we’re just getting started.

Wow! Definitely seems interesting. Could be possible.

NEED MORE TEASING!!!

Fingers crossed there is about to be a major reveal!

Can someone explain to me what the -Yoink- they’re talking about? I’m so confused.

ilovebees was an ARG, a marketing campaign, for Halo 2.

These random comments about bees from Microsoft people and 343i saying info is coming soon looks like there may be a connection. An I Love Bees 2.0, ARG to promote Halo 5/One.

I hope there is an ARG in the works!

I’d definitely like to think there’s some meaning behind these tweets. After all, come July it will have been exactly 10 years since the beginning of the original I love bees ARG. It’s be amazing to see them follow it up for the announcement of a Halo 2 anniversary!

Interesting…

and I freaking hate twitter

I have a theory that may seem a bit radical, but maybe, just maybe these people really like bees? Nah, that can’t be it…

What is an ARG? Don’t get mad at me for asking.

Alternate Reality Game, addictive mystery-puzzle, hype machine.

If this is indeed ilovebees, cover me in honey and duct tape me to the computer chair.

Would be an interesting way to lead up to the reveal of Halo 5. Or even a Halo 2 remake.

More likely the former considering the concept art though.

I’ve been demanding a Halo 5 ARG since the game was announced! I remember the disappointment of Project Icefly not being a Halo ARG back before Halo 4… We should definitely keep our eyes out for any weird sites that might pop up soon, but this might have been nothing (especially considering Major Nelson’s final response- would they really answer like that if the ARG is a real thing?). It is also the perfect timing to get something like this up and running, assuming we’ll have had a Halo 5 reveal by the end of March. Having Josh Holmes say “near future” and an Xbox rep saying “very soon” definitely supports this.

343 are taking a page out of Bungie’s book on teasing their community >:(

I hope so! Halo 3s iris campaign was awesome.

Oh okay. Wow everyone can remember that far back the only thing I can remember is playing the game and seeing the ads showing it off. Well thanks.
