What if "Nope" itself is a clue!?


Bees are bros, yes. And wasps are dicks, true. But nature's truest asshole is the Hornet.

All the attitude of a wasp, but with a sting that's as thick as a pencil and a take no prisoners attitude.

Notice how he capitalized the H in Hornet

In case you're wondering, the websites been counting down since ILB ended. It's counting down to 2552.

Nope.

As the saying goes, if you don't have something nice to say, think of something.

Come on bro, ya can't just say "nope" with no explanation whatsoever. Even "The Major just reeeally likes bees idk brah" would be better than "nope."

Watch it bee a lead up to the Halo TV series, lol

I expressed my feelings about Hornets for that very reason. This for example is a giant Japanese Hornet.

There isn't even enough fire to kill it.

 

[kittens]

Nope.

Wait, what's up with Ghaleon's package, then?

 

[Kalamari]

Is Major Nelson contemplating a career change? Bee keeping sounds fun!

IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!! Damn I'm excited, but if it is Halo 5 I won't even have an XB1 to play! Still love to see me some Halo FPS domination though.

 

[Stinkles]

Nope as in nope? And the Bees have "evolved" into Hornets?

I think you've lost your marbles.

Bees can only evolve into Bumblebees, my grandfather teached me that back in 1922.

Heh.

New episode of Archer on Monday! I can't wait to see what happens to ISIS.

I went for a hike outside the little town in Japan where I used to live and I swear one of these things kept landing on my head. NOPE nope nope, never went back to that park. No exercise for me.

My co-workers joked "oh, it probably thought you were a bear." Thanks guys.

So does the Major really like bees, like he said in the twitter? Have you discussed this with him? I mean, I would think his liking bees, which are somewhat akin to Hornets (that picture gives me shivers) would be somewhat a cause of contention betwixt the two of you, perhaps?

Who advertises an ARG so blatantly?

 

[watership]

it won't be the same. the fanbase for halo is long gone. :/

Ridiculous. Game ip popularity waxes and wanes all the time. It depends on the game/hype.

 

[Heretic]

Nope.

Such a stupid and pessimistic post.

The Halo community is strong. We shall endure.

They're adding a hornet to Prisoner

 

[Doffen]

Nope.

Nope means yes. So when will it go live?

Good question. Kinda ruins the mystery, dunnit

I actually didn't really like how the hornet controlled. Generally, if I had a choice, I'd pick a banshee. Still, if the hornet could be a bit more maneuverable and intuitive (as for as controls go), then I would certainly like to see it back in Halo 5.


But of course, we're not likely to get it back in Halo 5, since apparently Frankie hates hornets. :''((((((

 

[ToyMachine228]

I loved ilovebees. A friend and I followed it and eventually went down to a local AMC theater and had to tell the person at the front counter some code phrase for a CD or something. So nerdy but so awesome.

ILB is the only ARG that's ever needed to exist. That radio play was fucking killer.

ARGs usually feel somewhat contrived, I think. I love bees did a fantastic job, though. I think they're cool, but can easily be overused. I feel like they should only be used on super huge things that nobody thought would exist...like, megaton type things, or like Half-Life 3. That's the type of thing that deserves an ARG.

It seems very "me too" when companies do it on anything less that "omygodthisisamazing" kind of stuff.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

So no I Love Bees 2.0 but Sean Stewart (creator of ILB) is now the queen bee at Xbox Studios?

He tweeted he works at Xbox Studios as Creative Director now, since September.

Am I LTTP? It seems like Major Nelson's tweet is nicely wrapped up in this.

It's doing just fine, thanks for asking.

I guess that means I'm all alone. ;_;

 

[7DollarHagane]

this is the lamest shit way to start an ARG ever

You put it backwards mixed in with some static at the tail end of a trailer and never speak about it again.
The I love bees Halo 2 ARG was so awesome. I answered that phone every week in college. Even got to play the game early because of it.
