Isn't the second bar a PDF417 code?

Makes sense if it's a travel type document.

 

[BrettHeazy]

it is, but I can't get anything from it on online scanners

ARG hype! The HuntTheSignal site is giving me 503 errors on all links :/

I wondered when you would show up!

The login sites are down - presumably until the competition starts for real.

The only thing we have to go on at the moment is the glitch video and only the 3 numbers (degrees) are the obvious puzzle at the moment - more might be hidden.

My early stab at the ARG story is:

Spoiler

We're going to be trying to hack into Oni and save Cortana who's in there already and trying to get out / hunt the truth

Did you go on a sneak spree again and find stuff you shouldn't have? Haha.

I was wondering if they'd do something beyond the HuntTheTruth campaign for Halo, it's good to see the glitch contests are continuing to be a thing for the big Xbox exclusives.

 

[blazeuk]

Always up for an ARG! Looking forward to having a proper look at it when I get home from work.

 

[MisterBo]

Looks like most people from the sunset overdrive and titanfall args have turned up

 

[BraXzy]

We legitimately have an ARG crew on NeoGAF haha. Good to see all the familiar faces.

The production crew who put these together must get sick of us solving all of their stuff xD

 

[MisterBo]

if anyone one wants to join my team when we can actually get back on the page

Team: 7th Legion
Password: seventh

 

[Gravemind IV]

I would like to join, but it seems these domains were taken down?

 

[MisterBo]

yeah they will probs come back when the countdown ends.

Dibs in being on your team guys, you two can be the brains and I'll be the good looking assistant that brings the refreshments in a short skirt. I'll even shave my legs.

Spoiler

But only if you want me too.

My brain is just not wired right for these things, but it's always a ton of fun to watch people (try) to solve them. Looking forward to this one!

 

[In Service]

I get a sense that this one might be one (was it Titanfall?) which requires you to go and visit a location in the end.

We will see.

I believe the Titanfall one was only open to the UK whereas this one is open to US and UK so I don't think you will have to go anywhere. But you could be right.

Yeah, good point.

It's just the requirement that your phone has location services in the T+C's that's got me thinking. if it's not going somewhere, it's certainly pointing your phone in a certain direction!

Not at my computer so I haven't looked at everything properly yet but since it's open to both the US and UK I don't think it'll be something like that. But then again it's possible if there are two production companies attached, one might be based in the US.

There's gotta be a reason for the terms asking for a phone with Geolocation and stuff?

Same! Good luck folks!

How do we hide the super secret stuff so only members can quote and see it again?

(nothing to post yet, just checking)

This one seems like its going to be mobile heavy with the solutions, players having to be at specific locations to unlock more?

 

[Johnohno]

Love these ARGs, even though I'm garbage at solving them I'm still here for the ride.

Could be prizes on both sides of the water? Sadly people like myself in sunny Norn Iron will probably not be able to make it across to mainland UK .

I still don't understand how '709782' is equal to '/endpoints/countdown/'

Another website out of order but it is re-directing to the usual page atm:

Wow, glitching all sorts of things. Wonder if those ads will air on TV. What a way to peak someones interest.

He hasn't played Halo 4 but he has been posting on the forum, but it doesn't seem like anything important.

It seems to be some sort of code to scan on an app but I can't think what app would scan this type though. Or is it a piece of a picture puzzle we have to put together?

Strange, seems more like a puzzle than something we would have to scan.

I like how the narrator is reciting Invictus.

 

[infinit777]

I am so hyped for this Let the games begin

 

[BraXzy]

Countdowns suck! I wanna work stuff out nao! :'(

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet but that YouTube channel with the Ford advert, the name of the channel is an anagram for Dr. Halsey. Doesn't really help anything as of now but it's a cool little tidbit.

The entire terms page was saved into a pastebin for anyone who wants to have a read through: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=cBnJsRyh

 

[D4Danger]

saw a glitch ad on tv tonight. I think it's the same as the one in the op though because it was just a montage of games.

 

[Compsiox]

So when does it start "for real"

Excited to see what it brings.. hopefully it's got a smoother start planned though.

The Sunset Overdrive one took the right amount of time and that was really difficult to crack. I wear my hoodie with pride.

Hoping for that length/type but I'm not sure - it appears a little easier atm.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Just saw the advert, so I'm in for the hunt! Good to see some familiar names.

Nice, I don't have a team, but I'm happy to help where I can. I enjoyed the Titanfall and SO ARG.

 

[BraXzy]

I wish the team page would come back online, I want to join a team

Fingers crossed things kick off with a lot of things to do when this countdown finishes!

 

[Belgian Dude]

Alright! Finally I get to an ARG before it starts (barely). I suck at these things and live in Brazil so I can't really be part of a team, but I'd be glad to help as much as I can. Love these things.

I'm assuming you all already know about the (quote to see):
