Over on the NeoGAF forums, Bungie's own new kid on the block Luke Smith commented about the company's plans leading up to the release of Halo 3. Smith mentioned that Bungie will be releasing information on matchmaking, a few how to guides, some Forge talk, a tour of Bungie.net and a special two hour podcast will be released too. But then Luke messes with our heads mentioning that Bungie will reveal a "long awaited pre-launch surprise" sometime before September 25th. How dare he dangle such a large carrot in front of us.So guys, what could the long awaited surprise be? We don't want to get our hopes up too much seeing that we pretty much know all there is about Halo 3, but we're thinking it may something to do with the community, the website or a future project. We give you permission to put on your speculation caps and share your thoughts. What could Bungie's surprise be? Speculate ... NOW!

Maybe it's Halo 3 Shaped Candy Corn from Brachs, the worldwide leader in candy corn Flava! It's that time of the year!!! So Bungie/Microsoft have found YET ANOTHER way of marketing. Trick or treat biatches!

I think it's clearly clan support. But it will come in the form of the Fall update.

Demo/beta for Halo Wars, and possibly a release date?
Dashboard clan support is also on the table, I think.

Yeah, I'm with you guys. Wouldn't it be great if the fall update with clan support was released the day before Halo 3's release. That would be Monday. The perfect pre-launch surprise.

I'm going to take a creative stab and suggest that the game somehow can allow you to play on former multiplayer maps by way of disc swap. go to options menu -> input old halo game, -> save maps to HD -> play with halo 3 engine. (don't forget those halo 2 ass-on maps are already on the HD)
I guess it's possible.
But don't sign your first born away for it.

actually, for the first 3 days of halo3's release, EVERYONE will have xbox live gold. one of their little marketing plans to get people to say, "hey, this is pretty cool. i'll shell out $50 bucks a year for this."
wasn't there an article saying that clan support was coming anyway?
