When luke tells you to stfu, you better stfu.
I am known as Zero on both IBO and ARG-Irc.
Zero: Frankie, does the Marty gamer pic have LipStick on?
Frankie: No, it was hobo blood.
I am also an IRIS winner. I was in the 2nd batch, and have the gamerpic, t-shirt, and signed paperback of Ghosts of Onyx by Eric Nylund. If you don't know what IRIS was, here: http://halo.wikibruce.net

This has much to do with Halo 4 as it does with The Dark Night Rises.

It's for 5 Gum.

Just like the Chief's heart!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!

This could be for real!!!!

Wow, I just got a package from the "Human Preservation Project." That's kind of cool! It comes with one of those LED lights and a piece of paper with that quote that is on the OP!

A 5 Gum ARG for people that was handed to folks at Microsoft's E3 event? Who knows.

It's not related to Bungie, that's for sure. Urk said it somewhere. I guess it could, hypothetically be Halo, but nothing about it points in that direction.

Edit: And there's some proof it's 5 gum related somewhere, not drawing any sources because I really don't care.

Either way, I'll stick with ti for now, I'll get some interesting swag no less.

4orty 2wo are infamous for doing stuff - these envelops were also given out at Comic-Con.

Bungie themselves also have said they have no affiliation, but because they have nothing to do with the Halo franchise - that's moot.

However, it seems as though there are no links to Halo at all - even if it is ILB-esque. There has been many ARGs that 42 have been commandeering that are like ILB, mind you.


There is a forum dedicated at Unfiction.

It just doesn't seem like a Halo ARG to me at all - I've participated both in ILB and IRIS. (Being a winner of the 2nd Server as well)

Like I said, even if it's not also related, it's interesting nonetheless. We'll find out tomorrow when the site opens.

What evidence suggests its for 5 gum?

  • 06.29.2011 4:21 PM PDT

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

Like a LOT of people are saying...there is definitely no LARGE link to Halo yet...

Keep your hopes in check, the ONLY link we even have is the quote that I posted earlier (and that is now in the OP).

Everything else is circumstantial in that the same company is making it etc...they are a company that makes ARG's though...so they can be making these all the time...

Point being, keep it in check, lets see what happens tomorrow...

It was in 5 Gum ads and has ties to it.

Do you not find it strange though, that these fliers are handed out during Microsoft's E3 press conference, the message says "The pulse is growing faster" and at the end of the conference the Chief's heart beating rapidly is the first thing we see?

Why else show the Chief's heart?

  • 06.29.2011 4:28 PM PDT

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

Now that is something that I hadn't thought about as much... It could explain why the video had such an 'old' version of chief's armor in it; as in 42 had already ok'd the video and that they didn't want any changes.

That -is- a possibility; like I said, I think the possibility is there, but 5gum also has some links and similarities to this; so I'm just saying that use caution don't be all like; YEP HALO ARG and then get all pissed the next day type thing.

I firmly believe in the possibility that's why I signed up..but I'm not convinced yet...

A 5 Gum commercial had "Test Subjects Needed" in one of their commercials which was the catchphrase for this. It's for gum, nothing halo related.. Or game related for that matter.

Then I guess we'll get free gum at least.

But why put in so much effort to hype up gum? I guess you COULD say the same thing about Halo, but at least Halo has a history of doing ARG's.

Gum? This ain't the way ONI operates.
They'd stick with radioactive gum or something.

Stimulating your Senses is 5 gum's slogan, which would work in the context of the evaluation. But I just find it strange that they did this during Microsift's E3.

We'll have to see.

I think it's very likely that Mission Icefly is something Halo related, that quote in the OP just reaks of the type of stuff Adjutant Reflex posted and said toward the latter end of the IRIS viral campaign. Anyways, we'll see come tomorrow when Mission Icefly's page opens...18 hours and counting...
