Halo studio Bungie has been keeping the blog fires stoked lately with the return of its "Superintendent" viral marketing campaign. Over on the official site, a counter has been ticking away to 10am EST today. That was ages ago and I've been sat here looking at a page that says "rebooting" for ages.
However, after wasting more time than I'm at liberty to spend, the veil has finally been lifted and unveiled ... a teaser trailer for some Halo expansion. Watch above for the somewhat unrevealing reveal.
Not really much to report after all the faffing around. Still, Halo fans get more Halo. That's good for them.

In the books I hear.
Now my desire has increased. I´m sad and poor.
It's obviously a new patch to prevent your typical homophobic, puberty hitting, pimple-face, racial slurring, gang banging wiggers on LIVE from playing using face recognition via the LIVE vision cam.
Also, I guess Bungie's idea of a new game are different than mine.
I dunno, I told myself I wouldnt get interested and now I kind of am so we'll see. But since the first thing I thought when I saw "Danger: Flood Zone" was of those god awful flood levels in every game I hope that's not what we end up playing. A Halo game almost exclusively fighting the flood. Eeeewwww.
dropping them indeed
I'm calling it.
Sound good?
ok. RESUME HALO HATE MACHINE
The ship in the picture is exactly the way they described it in the book. I'm excited. Hell's Jumpers FTW!
ODST Tactical Shooter. I'm calling it.
It's definitely in New Mombassa. In one of those shots of the decimated city there's a sign near the top left that reads "City of New Mombassa". I'd have to agree with the time-line stuff too.
Oh, God. I made it through. Hooray!
Uh, but yes. I'm personally excited, especially if what GuitarAtomik said comes true.
I hate teaser trailers though. We waited a long time to be teased again. This thing (like everything Bungie does) raised more questions than it did answers. At least it shed some light and it's not just a few new maps.
There's this "expansion," new maps, and a rumored level editor. This fall should be rad for Halo fans, and I'm glad they haven't abandoned it. We just had a title update and a matchmaking overhaul as well.
I think Halo is fun.
I bet it's either a Helljumper expansion or an expansion playing as another Spartan. Either way, that sounds reminiscent of the Half-Life expansions, and I like that.
S1 = Section 1 of the ONI
[i]Section One
The main intelligence-gathering section, and the foremost provider of electronic intelligence for the UNSC. Covenant ship movements and force deployment, evacuation notices for colonies, deletion of data for secrecy purposes, and much more are all done by Section 1.[/i]
Considering the city is being evacuated and they would most likely be in charge of putting together and deploying something like the ODSTs, I'm pretty sure that was in reference to that.
...I am really in to this stuff.
Nice to see another Halo fan. I realize the series has had shortcomings, but I'll be damned if the universe isn't awesome.
@ GeneralWong
I'm the MC only if you're Aku.
Damn, you're an even bigger nerd than I am. I did notice the ONI reference in there. Forgot about Section 1, though.
Yeah...It's true ;__;
I'm in. Bring you Halo hate. I can take it.
