'Tis a good day.
   Finally, after months of "soon™" and Louis Wu's constant banter about "where's that damn story site," we've gone live. Welcome to the first edition of bungie.org's Halo Story Page. As you can see, we're nowhere near finished. Expect the page to continue evolving constantly, as we add more content, and, more importantly, you pitch your thoughts and theories, and we make you famous.
   Anyone who has been to Hamish Sinclair's excellent Marathon's Story Page (to which and to whom we owe prodigious amounts of thanks, as without Hamish the concept of a Story Page would be completely foreign, and the execution of one would be even moreso) knows the concept: you send us e-mail containing your thoughts, ideas, connections, brilliant illuminations of perfect knowledge, and theories on the Master Chief's TRUE identity (he's obviously Elvis...just look at him), and we post it here, in whatever section it belongs in. In no time at all, the theories all begin to fit together, and suddenly we understand just what the heck the Forerunner were thinking when they decided to build a bunch of things to destroy the galaxy.
   To submit a theory, e-mail us at halostory@bungie.org, and we'll either put it up straight away, or, at the very least, send you a response thanking you for your submission. While we won't be able to use every submission, we'll certainly try, and if we fail horribly, we'll be kind enough to thank you for supporting the Halo Story Page.
   If you notice any errors or additions in the level scripts, don't hesitate to send them in (though naturally we'll have to try and verify them before we can make any changes). Halo is a rather dynamic game, and you can play it fifty times and never hear the same lines of dialogue (especially since many of them are lost in the wonderful, though often rather disturbing, sounds of the Master Chief at work ;p ).
   And another big round of thanks to Hamish Sinclair, mitb (our "MTHL? LMTH? What do you call it again?" guy), Funky J (our "superannuated edifice" as it were), Astro the Space Duck (our "Don't worry about it, I'll tell you what to do tomorrow" guy), and of course, Louis Wu, the master of all things Halo.bungie.org.
   That's it for now - but more is on the way. So have fun poking around, reading the scripts, and, most of all, letting us know what you think!
