New Halo 5 ARG?

ARG's are way above my head, but if getting your face in Halo 5 is the prize, that is well worth doing. Would be great if some GAF-ers could win.

Also can't help but think if the prize is confirmed, it should be added into the thread title, that'd definitely get some traction here.... Unless ARG threads don't get a lot of traffic due to all the participants keeping their cards close to their chests in terms of progression etc.
 
Huh. Opened the page on my phone, there's 3 boxes looking for input. Tried the 27, 248, 117 code, nada. Any idea what's up with that?

EDIT: Oh, duh, this must be the compass portion. Probably don't have one on my phone. Ah, well. Guess I'm out :P
 
I got this far
Transmission_001

You are located within a security naval intelligence facility. Locke has tasked you with evaluating potential vulnerabilities of MJOLNIR Combat Armor, exploring the hypothetical scenario of having to neutralize a spartan II asset. This includes initiating the armor, manipulating the 49 pieces of its circuitry, then ascertaining its weakness by calibrating the MARK VI firmware.

After clicking continue you get three rows of circles marked ABC and they go 5 down under each. What do now lol

You still need team members poodle? I just signed up
 
ARG hunts are generally over my head. Let's put it this way: I chose my team because it was an ODST character name. That's the level of complexity I'm bringing to this.


*sigh*

Yeah - I can see the faintest trace of blue!

But no further images though? What you working on next?

I was contributing steadily in one of the IRC discussions, and enough people decided that instead of it being collaborative, they wanted to approach it as a contest (meaning no group effort). To which I said I wanted nothing to do with it. I've stopped working on it.
 
I think pretty much everyone is stuck after the circuit boards. It had a cool little start and quickly threw us against a wall :/

Anyone having much luck?
 
Little bits here and there but nothing leading anywhere exciting yet.

It's supposed to go till 05/22 I believe so I wonder if they'll purposefully slow it down?

I should probably read the T and Cs properly but.. Does it specifically state it will last until then, or is does it run until then? Past ARGs have been completed within a matter of days even though it technically lasted for months in the terms. They are usually mentioned so that if people don't crack it then they can end the competition legally or whatever.

In saying that though, they may indeed be holding all their cards. But I'd appreciate it if they let us know in advance that we have to wait for the next bit so that I'm not banging my head against the wall for no reason.
