Well, mere hours after we heard that the new Bungie.net site is up, the Halo portion of the site, called Halo: Truth and Reconciliation is also online, replacing the cryptic graphic we noted before.
The new site has sections for screenshots, concept art, storyboards, a multiplayer strategy guide, and a links page (conspicuously absent Rampancy.net... hmm).
The top story is a recap of the Xbox Launch Party in NYC by Yeoren, and there's also a link to the How To Host A LAN Party article of Seventh Column to assist people in setting up times and places to meet and play multiplayer Halo on their Xboxes.

"...and a links page (conspicuously absent Rampancy.net... hmm)."
erm... I'm sorry, this is my fault.
See, the inital plan was to make the Halo site content dynamic, like the content is on the other pages. When putting all this stuff together, we created a baseline for the each site which containd the very basics of everything so that each new build we made would contain at least that. That baseline for the Halo site Included a link to Rampancy. However, we weren't sure if our serves and scripts could handle the load we were anticipating, especially commimg for the halo site, so Max had Dave make a static version of the Halo page to use at launch. This was sometime Wednesday afternoon. The next day Max asked me to go over the content of the Halo site and make sure it was all there and displaying properly. Well, ok, it was the next evening and we'd already spent every night until two there that week and we were all gunning to launch the site and go home. So my double check wasn't very thorough, I'm afraid, and I overlooked the fact that Rampancy wasn't there.
Anyway, I just wasnt to apologize to the Rampancy folks and let you know that when we update content on Monday there will be a happy, if belated link to Rampancy.net.
That and I feel like a chump :(

No problem, don't even worry about it.
One other thing, though-- before I posted the story I tried to email Max about it at webmaster@bungie.net, but it bounced back to me...
