A guide to the cipher
The Carbine displayed on the Covenant computer

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.

Front Page

Before the launch of the site in its Covenant theme, the front page featured a link to the Halo 2 trailer in addition to a message in the Covenant language. 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.
