As controversy would have it, the countdown plans were changed by Microsoft in an effort to balance their pool of announcements for that event.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to September 25, 2008, where we\u2019ve already had a pair of short, but illuminating Bungie.net updates releasing cryptic information about the Superintendent, who he is and what he does. With all of the earmarks of the Halo franchise, it didn\u2019t take a much closer inspection to realize that this project, whatever it might be, was deeply involved with the Halo fiction.<\/p>\n<p>Making amends for the events of E3, Bungie released the 60-second teaser yesterday, which, with the pieces of the lead-up communiques on Bungie.net, make a pretty compelling case for an interesting expansion to the story of Halo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/keep-it-clean\">(more\u2026)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And here we are, now one full year after the launch of Halo 3, yet still, Bungie\u2019s managed to rekindle the same fervor and excitement garnered in those months prior to the game\u2019s release.
