I’d seen the site briefly before, but not taken a really serious look until today when Penny Arcade linked to it. The ilovebees.com page.

Bungie, the people who make the game Halo, put up the name ilovebees.com for a split second at the end of the Halo 2 trailer that was shown in movie theatres the past few months. It’s now available online.

It initially looks like a fairly basic ‘hack look’, but a quick peek around IGN and Gamespot reveals that the ilovebees hoax is actually very well thought-out and incredibly imaginative.

The major theory about the thing seems to be that the Covenant, the villains of the original Halo, found Earth by means of an innocent honey website: ilovebees.com. So it’s full of their footprints and classified communications just waiting to be decrypted by us industrious earthlings.

Halo 2 will be great… you can always tell when the developer focuses this much on the plot. And besides — it’s Bungie.
