Bungie: Special Halo 3 surprise before launch

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!

With the "long awaited" part in their comment it can't be anything but a dashboard update to add a clan blade for clan support organized in one place.

No on clan support (that would be Microsoft's big announcement, NOT Bungie's)

No on Halo 4

No on Cross platform (WAAAAAY too big to announce that so close to release, also it would have been leaked. Unless they release it like 6 months from now, then it may be possible)

Could be HD versions of maps (highly unlikely, but would be AWESOME)

Who knows what it could be, but it aint any of these!

Why would Bungie get to announce dashboard clan support? Wouldn't that be more up Major Nelson's alley? In-game I could see, but really? The dash?

I'm pretty sure you can already view saved films on Bungie.net

Now I'm not sure if that is standard or you have to pay for the premium hosting service from bungie for that. Look it up.

I hope that the surprise is what I have been saying should have been done as early as HALO: CE: the ability to hear cortana in your headset.
