Major Nelson Teasing Halo 2 Anniversary? A Halo 5 ARG? I Love Bees 2.0?

http://levelsave.com/major-nelson-halo-2-anniversary-halo-5-arg-i-love-bees/

 

Major Nelson is, well, quite frankly he’s toying with us. He’s tweeted something peculiar a bit ago: a tease back to the I Love Bees campaign. In case you don’t know, I Love Bees was a viral marketing campaign launched prior the launch of Halo 2 that served as an alternate reality game to hype up the launch. While I personally wasn’t around to experience it, it was one of the best ARG’s in history, gaining 250,000 views – a boatload in 2004.

Anyway, nine days ago Major Nelson tweeted us this little nugget:

 

Harmless enough right? Well, we then have the following response from Quinn DelHoyo, one of the team members at 343 Games…

After that, a response to MajorNelson came with “Is this the start of I Love Bees 2.0?” and the following response from Major and the Social Marketing Manager at Xbox – as in, the guy who would handle viral (read: social) marketing.

Coincidental? A joke? Maybe. Funnily enough, though, this year marks Halo 2′s ten year anniversary which also puts this year as a great year for Halo 2 Anniversary – a game Halo fans have been very anxious to see come to fruition. This could be many things other than a Halo 2 Anniversary ARG though. Microsoft and 343 could be rebooting I Love Bees for round 2 to hype up Halo 5, which wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Either way, we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more information.

 

 

 

I wonder if there will really be a Halo 2 Anniversary, also I think that is a nice to know about Halo 5 ARG, and also  I wonder if the I Love Bees 2.0 will have a beta mode?

Also I hope I posted this in the right forum, if not please move to the right forum.

I think that there will eventually be a Halo 2 Anniversary, maybe not in 2014, but there will be one in my opinion. It's a highly requested game and is known to be one of, or if not, the best Halo games/game. I hope to see it return.

Yeah, I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later. I just hope the original multiplayer is in tact when it does get released! I don't wanna play Halo 2 maps on Halo 5... I wanna play Halo 2 maps on Halo 2!

Is Microsoft Teasing A Halo 2 HD Remake For Xbox One?

http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/microsoft-teasing-halo-2-hd-remake-xbox-one-anniversary-23633

 

We're coming up on the tenth anniversary of Halo 2, leading many to speculate that a high-definition remake of the Xbox classic will be released later this year. Microsoft did something similar with Halo: Combat Evolved for its tenth anniversary, so the precedent is certainly there.

Now, Xbox spokesman Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb has posted a very mysterious message on Twitter, harkening back to the I love bees viral marketing campaign for Halo 2.
 

While Mr. Hyrb could just have an odd fascination with bees, it does seem quite coincidental that he is tweeting about them on the very same year of Halo 2's tenth anniversary.

Are you ready for an HD remake of Halo 2? Seeing as how Microsoft has basically closed the book on Xbox 360 at this point, there's a good chance we'll see it come to Xbox One—that is, if it is in fact real. The Big M has made it clear it's committed to giving gamers a whole lot of Halo content in the coming years, and Halo 2 Anniversary sounds like a logical move.
