Bungie Won't Stop Teasing

The date 04/09/09 carries some special significance in the world of Bungie and Halo. What that significance is, we don't know for sure. At the end of its weekly update , Bungie added the sly little note, "P.S. 04/09/09." If I were a betting man, I'd put that as the previously unannounced release date for the Mythic Map Pack . This newest set of maps is thus far only available to those who purchase the Limited Edition of Halo Wars, though Bungie has promised to make it available for sale through the Xbox Live Marketplace eventually. But who knows? Maybe we'll get some new info on Halo 3: ODST that day. Leave your guesses as to what the date means in the comments below.
