Seems like Blizzard’s not the only company doing teasers this year. Bungie has replaced it’s normal front page with this, a splash page with constantly changing text (It changes between things like “Please Remain Calm”, “Pardon Our Dust”, and “Expect Delays”), some weird images, foreign text translating to “Please remain calm”, and a timer ticking down to Wednesday, at exactly 2:07:07 PM Pacific time. (Bungie has a strange obsession with the number seven.)

So, what does this mean? First off, this explains the lack of Bungie announcements during the Microsoft conference earlier today. For an unknown reason (until now), nothing whatsoever was said about Halo Wars or the now-infamous “unnamed Halo project”. The big thing here, though, is that we mostly have no clue what exactly Bungie is planning for Wednesday afternoon. Theories abound though, some of which are an announcement about the Halo Wars release date, Halo 4, or even Oni 2.

I guess we’re going to have to wait until Wednesday to find out what they’ve got planned.

UPDATE: Well, it looks like whoever is publishing whatever Bungie was going to announce today pulled the plug on it. In a letter posted on the splash page yesterday, Harold Ryan announced that “those plans were changed by our publisher.” Looks like we’ll have to wait for whenever they’re ready to show us what they’ve got.
