Quick, someone get Columbo on the phone, we’ve got ourselves a veritable mystery that needs solvin’.

Well, that may be a bit of a stretch, but some folks are wildly speculating over the fact that Microsoft withheld a Bungie trailer that was supposed to end its press conference last week at E3. Now, the only way that could happen, the only sway Microsoft has over Bungie, is if there’s a Halo game involved.

The trailer was pulled, with Microsoft saying it’ll instead debut at its own dedicated event.

Perhaps Microsoft felt the incredible amount of excitement generated by E3 would have overshadowed Halo.
