Subject: Mission IcyFly, halo 4 reveal?

Stumbled across this through a gaming website I reguarly visit,
http://www.missionicefly.com/

I recall them doing a advertising campain on halo 2.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh-6owRbFvQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNhurUnOWKQ << original halo 2 ILOVEBEES
these notes read:

We are both creatures of the senses, you and I , we inhabit the same reality, simmering just below the perceivable world.

THE PULSE IS GROWING. CAN YOU FEEL IT?

"A number of flies were also given out to those who wore a special t-shirt with a bee hologram contained on it at Microsoft's E3 press conference this year."



The original story, for a clear picture:

http://www.hookedgamers.com/blogs/chrispriestman/2011/06/27/r umor_mission_icefly_slowly_reveals_halo_4.html



Jesss Kiddin just pointed out:

this ad has something interesting:
Destiny?

notice the bold letters in "Ever tried speed skating on dry ice?" It spells out "Destiny," and we all know that "Destiny" has been trademarked recently by Bungie. The shotcode leads to the http://testsubjectsneeded.com site. And people who registered with that site are now getting e-mails with this a message talking about being a part of a "destiny" and "taking human kind one step closer to an ultimate epiphany."

Maybe it's not for Halo 4 but maybe a hint towards all these recent trademarks made by Bungie? (Hopefully!)


Again from jesss:

people from each city are going to different locations within the cities and retrieving boxes that have a lock on them. The boxes have "HUMAN PRESERVATION PROJECT" printed on them, and in the box is a closed tube thingy with one of the flies that when plugged in, lights up blue/aqua. i'm thinking the next big thing that happens will be when every city is completed.

here's a flickr account with people posting their findings:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/missionicefly

and this ARG is also on twitter (@mission_icefly)

oh, and this site seems to be updating with each completed city and strange, distorted videos are also popping up. anyone who can decipher any of the current video would be awesome!

Edit 1: sorry couldn't get the links to work, kinda new at this.
Edit 2: O ..got the problem there.

no no no it is from halo cryptum.


"There are points in life when everything changes, and changes in a big way. The old sophistic texts refer to these points as synchrons. Synchrons supposedly tie great forces and personalities together. You can't predict them and you can't avoid them. Only rarely can you feel them. They are like knots creeping forward on your string of time. Ultimately, they tie you to the great currents of the universebind you a common fate."

Very cool, I'd love to see this play out again. Really gathered a lot of hype in a fun way for Halo 2 back in the day.

  • 06.29.2011 12:14 PM PDT

I'm hoping this really is Halo 4's ARG...I've seen some people elsewhere saying this is just some sort of gimmick for the 5 Gum brand >_>

It appears far too sophisticated to be the work of a troll...at least to me anyway >_>

"The object of war is not die for your counrty but to make the other bastard die for his."

This would seem to be legit...Super pumped!!! Hoping that it is Halo 4's ARG.

The 5gum issue is there and that worries me, however, the quote on this page linked in the OP would seem to link this with ilovebees so idk...

"A number of flies were also given out to those who wore a special t-shirt with a bee hologram contained on it at Microsoft's E3 press conference this year."

Again, we still need more info. but I think the possibility of this being a Halo 4 ARG is there...

If you had of done it a few weeks ago, they mailed out an LED linked to a scan tag to MissionIcefly.com, plus the words mission icefly. You also got a piece of paper with the sentences on OPs post written on it.

Got mine in the mail randomly sealed in a silver-plastic package, even in the UK.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

If they send texts, does it cost money?

It's been like that since the game ended.
It counts down to the beginning of the Human/Covenant war (I believe!).

It's a timer for the activation of the AI which is focussed on in the audio logs. It supposedly went back in time, and so this is a timer till it was technically created.
