Bungie.net updated with Superintendent countdown

by Dustin Burg { Sep 24th 2008 at 11:15PM }

Here we go again. Bungie.net has just been updated with a nifty little Superintendent splash page with a rotation of random phrases and a little countdown timer in the bottom right corner that's counting down to tomorrow morning. Specifically, Thursday, September 25th at 7:07AM pacific which is also the one year anniversary of Halo 3. And with all the Superintendent talk that has been going on and the mysterious achievements popping up, we're under the impression that we're counting down to the delayed E3 announcement. Or maybe not. One thing we're sure of is that we'll have our browsers refreshing Bungie.net early tomorrow morning. Now get excited!

[Thanks, to everyone who sent this in]

o david blaine did his dive of death then at the last second they pulled him up and it was stupid

Exciting indeed.

I like the addition of "There will be a payoff" and "It won't be a letter".

sweet! that's before school for me, so I'll be able to find out what this is all about. Our days of anticipation and waiting are finished.

Why, the hell? WTF do Bungie need to be attention whores? No other developer strings along their gamers like Bungie does, HALO 2 sucked, the campaign was atrocious and multiplayer was riddled with glitches. Halo 3 campaign is just less atrocious by just about a inch, and multiplayer is just without glitches.

Mike @ Sep 25th 2008 1:46AM

I agree with you about Halo 2 as a whole and Halo 3's campaign, but I thought multiplayer was very well balanced and fun.

Kenneth S @ Sep 25th 2008 1:56AM

Clinton RRoD sept.3 @ Sep 25th 2008 7:08AM
