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 >_>

i think it is for the gum. The reson why i think this is not for a game, is because the top link went to website talking about your senses. The five gum commercials always says stimulate your senses.

King of the Dark

I only think they are sponsored by 5Gum

Has anyone else signed up to this site? At survivalcode.com, if you log in you'll have some image files or "log files" as they call them. They're interesting. You also get achievements and commendations.

Here's a link to one of the log file images. I don't know what this is in relation to overall, but it's fun to follow that's for sure.

Edit: Almost forgot, I can upload the other log file images if ya'll want me to. Just ask. :)

Don't -blam!- with Kerser!

Confirmed to not be Halo/Bungie related and to be a Five Gum Promotion. Source.

ODST for life

They said it wasn't related to Bungie, not 343i or Halo 4....

...just saying...

They never said it wasn't Halo related. Why would it not be if Bungie said it wasn't them? That just means its not their game. They're done with Halo.

Especially with that picture of a galaxy and the Earth. How. The. -blam!-. does this relate at ALL to chewing gum???

If you make an ARG about gum, make it obvious its about gum. If it does turn out to be gum, I'll be sorely disappointed in both 42 and the 5 gum brand. All this talk about space, destiny, preserving humanity and so forth....I just don't see gum.

And who's to say it doesn't have anything to do with Halo 4? Its not revealing the plot or anything, just setting us up for it. Which is precisely what ARGs do. There is just too much evidence on both sides to make any definite conclusions.

Have you played the past halo ARGs?

ARGs come out

1. well after the game is officially announced and we have a decent amount of info on them.

2. months before the game comes out not years.

Not to mention the money it is going to take to keep this going on all year so people don't lose interest.

That is true of course, when Bungie ran the show. At this point, with a new company, what is allegedly the revitalization of the franchise, anything's possible. 343 would want to go into this with a bang.

Truth be told, Halo is starting to die from its original popularity. A great and mysterious re-introduction would be the perfect way for both Halo to regain popularity and 343 to show off their storytelling prowess.

But I wouldn't assume anything with 343 yet. They're a new company with new methods. Let's wait and see.

I am seeing this from a marketing angle as i take marketing classes

you don't want to Advertise like napalm something that hasn't even been fully announced, nor do you want to do this years before it will come out.

Just accept the fact that it is not Halo related and indeed just a stupid 5 Gum promotion.

Does this look Halo related? No!

...And that "THE PULSE IS GROWING. CAN YOU FEEL IT?" thing, that is always used in 5 Gum television adverts.

Tl;DR

Not Halo related

Not Halo related



I'm rather new to Halo and to Xbox in general, Halo 3 being my first Halo game almost 2 years ago or so, so I wasn't aware of the I Love Bees campaign when it was occurring. Was that site always interrupted by the Module Core Hemorrhage pop-up when visited, or was that added on as the event played out? I'm asking this in response to your linking the survivalcode.com site and asking if it looks Halo related.

Also I did a google search for "the pulse is growing can you feel it?" and didn't get any 5 gum results on the first page. I didn't bother looking on the second page. I don't watch much tv so I'm not familiar with their adverts, just thought that if they do always use it then 5 gum should be somewhere on the first page.

I'm not trying to defend the idea that this is related to Bungie or 343 in any way, I'm just curious. Regardless of who this marketing campaign is linked to, it's very entertaining.

@Roberto, I'll get those images hosted so you can check them out.

  • 07.01.2011 12:37 PM PDT

I agree with Roberto about the whole space and preservation of humanity thing. This can't JUST be about gum.

And why would 5gum be at E3 if it weren't related to videogames in some way? We know it is some SORT of ARG. We just have to wait a bit. :/

I threw the one I linked earlier in there also so I could have an un-resized image. The first one was compressed a little. :)

In 2nd image http://traelekinstitute.com/ is mentioned.

4th image makes me think of Inception. T_T
If this is a -blam!- Incetion game I'll be pissed as -blam!- hell.

The architecture definitely LOOKS Halo-esque.

Everything makes me more suspicious...

Thanks :)

And again, I still don't see gum. I instead see a possible allusion to the Libraian's geas, instructing humanity to discover new worlds and places.

The more I see of this, the less I see 5 gum.

only because you want it to be halo related, i am a "forerunner expert" and the architecture looks human not forerunner.

  • 07.01.2011 1:09 PM PDT

I know it is at the very least related to 5 gum.
But if it weren't about videogames why the Hell would this be at E3? O_o

I really couldn't care whether it is or not. I like ARGs for the fact they're fun and interesting.

However, I'm still saying its Halo because I have seen no evidence to sggest its related to gum from the game itself, and that this started at Microsoft's E3 press conference.

If its not Halo, fine. But if its 5 gum and not even videogame related...42 needs to get their -blam!- together.

  • 07.01.2011 1:14 PM PDT

I know it might not be Halo related but alot of us are really interested in this.
If you are right, Grey, then you will have the satisfaction of knowing you're right.
But the rest of us are going to play 'Woodard and Bernstein' right now. Okay?

Hiltrecht Academy is related somehow.

Beat me to it. I doubt this has anything to do with 5. I think it is sponsored by them though. Like how Subway sponsored Green Lantern.

I agree.
Does anyone know if 'Hiltrecht' means anything in another language? It looks Germanic to me... but I don't know...

I'll translate Hiltrecht Academy's Latin motto thing if I can make out what the letters are.
