The timer has also stopped ticking, showing "001 012 034 053 Remaining"
  • BoonIsha at unfiction noted that the stopped countdown timer of "001-012-034-053", when treated as GPS coordinates 1.12, 34.53 result in a location in South Africa, on the border of Uganda and Kenya. Further investigation reveals that the point is in the middle of one of the largest calderas in the world, at the tip of Mount Elgon, also home to some "unusual caves", and not far from Voi. It is likely that this caldera is the site of the Halo 3 announcement trailer.

  • At 12:00AM EDT, the text above the countdown disappeared, leaving the halted timer.
  • At about 9:00PM EDT, the page began redirecting all visitors to the Bounce Path Control page
  • Once the server was unlocked, the website began directing all visitors to Server 01
Epilogue
  • The IP continues to direct to Server 01, while Server 02, 03, and 04 are hosted in sub-folders, likely as will subsequent servers.
