Halo 2, Bees and Microsoft
15 years, and this is on par with confusing on the John Titor level.
Recently (15 minutes ago) i was searching the web for Halo weapons stats (firing rates for covenant weapons, if you must know) and i came across a highly weird discovery.
Trying to compare some stats from halo 2 and the Original, i came across a Glitch Guide for the original halo. now, this didnt worry me in the slightest, it was the 'I love bees' section that grabbed my attention.
Apparently, sometime in early 2004, an AI 'Chrash landed' in the 'www.ilovebees.com' domain server, and begain sendig out telepone calls to random payphone booths around the world.
The curous thing is, the link to the bees site was apparently placed on the original Halo 2 trailer, and the date of activation for the AI was the same as halo's release date.
Now, the clincher is this: the AI was originally onboard a warship, battling the, get this:
'Covenent'
naturally curious, i started looking at depth into it. and have come to the conclusion that there are 2 possible explanations for this:
1) No hoax, Ai is from the future, fighting the Covenent as we know them
2) Microsoft created the hoax, and put the site up as a money-making scam.
Now, there are multiple fatal flaws in explanation number 1:
1- the AI is using a far too random method of cummunication, if it wanted to tell us something, it would tell us outright, not play games.
2- the Website's coutdown has reverted, pointing to- *checks* March 14 2553. (give or take) now, that is a classic example of a timer that has passed zero, but lacks the ability to generate negative numbers.
3- i never saw this on the news...
4- the Timeline paradox. Any AI outfitted on a warsip would carry weapons designs and fleet information. thus, it would have knowledge of technology based from whatever era it came from. thus allowing us to advance to that tech level, skipping our own advancement, and kicking the Covenent's Asses.
5- Whois identifies 'www.Ilovebees.com' to be created on 14th june 2004, so it seems the server was created for this exact purpose.
6- the link was created by the Halo 2 Trailer. created by MICROSOFT, that points to a (supposed) AI site, that carries history exactly like that presented in the game 'Halo' (if not extremely close), which was created by MICROSOFT...
7- it dosent explain how we got the original halo dead on
8- there is a 'blog' section in the sire, last time i checked, blogs were fictional?
now on the other hand, there is only one agrument against number 2:
'www.ilovebees.com' is being hosted on a Apache/Red hat/Linux Server with openSSL, not something Microsoft would usually use
Opinions, i have no doubt that some of my arguments are invalid, but it seems the public is being led on...
personally, i dont see why someone wouldnt just unplug the bloody server...
Opinions?
edit- damn i make no sense. what im saying, is that at the site 'ilovebees.com' there is a supposed AI infection, and i was making some philospohical arguments for and against it. i was asking for your opinion.
edit- section added
edit- another argument
