Prior to the release of Halo 2, its official website, Halo2.com, was made over to appear as though it were a series of screens at the helm of a Covenant ship. The site made use of a substitution cipher to depict the Covenant Language of triangle groups in a way easily understood by determined Halo fans. The content of the text was mostly in character, but tended to stray into humor.
Areas

This message read: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US AND WE LOVE BEES, referencing a popular Internet meme as well as the i love bees Alternate Reality Game, which was running at the time to promote Halo 2. After the site's launch, the front page was replaced with a video depicting the control panels of a Covenant ship loading the program that made up the site's content.
