Re: Countdown timer at halo3.com is now counting down to a date. ?
where did you find it, the link did not work for me, maybe because my browser does not play .swf on its own.

Re: Countdown timer at halo3.com is now counting down to a date. odd... the swf code has the date 10/14/2010, 20 hours (8pm?)
My time left is 10 days, 22 hours, 26 minutes, which comes to 10/14, 3pm (EDT)
The countdown display doesn't include year, so I'm not sure if 2010 is relevent or not. If it stays 2010, then after T-0, it'll reset to 365 days (10/14 of the next year).
Anyway... interesting... what's on 10/14?

Re: Countdown timer at halo3.com is now counting down to a date. Hmmm... downloadable content? The explanation of the Legendary Ending? Halo brand Hot Dog Buns!?
Edit: Hey... on the Believe diorama, there is a video that was supposed to be up on 10-01-07, but it looks like it hasn't been posted yet. Anyone able to see it? It is entitled "Testimonial: Gravesite".

Re: Countdown timer at halo3.com is now counting down to a date. I just noticed someting odd about the countdown timer: it's counting down on its own. I installed a Firerfox plugin that tells me all the files of certain extensions that are used on web pages. When I load most of the pages on halo3.com or on one of the Iris servers, they use XML files to load data. This is a practice to save time programming, so insted of editing an entire SWF file, a programmer can just edit a short XML file. However, the countdown uses no outside data except what's on the page. I am still able to see the countdown after shutting the Internet off and loading the SWF file. So someone at Microsoft reprogrammed the page...

Re: Countdown timer at halo3.com is now counting down to a date. It was the SWF used to countdown to the Believe site's launch. All they are doing is looking at a no-longer functioning timer.
