Citizen Skywatch
2K Game's XCOM ARG Reboot

So 2K Games has relaunched the XCOM ARG, I'm not sure how much this will have relate to last year's short lived Project: Enemy Unknown ARG, but here is the new site:

http://projectenemyunknown.com/ has a zipped file that contains a large text file of jibberish.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you rename the file to give it a .mpg extension you will find a new video.

Ditto here, on the signing up.

(On a side note, where is this video? The only thing I've been able to get so far is the "PROJECT TERMINATED" flash file, which does a mock core dump if you click on it.)

You're halfway there, after the core dump, click the flashing indicator at the bottom of the page to download CTZN1.zip. Change the file from CTZN1.txt to CTZN1.mpg and you'll get the video.

Also, a new letter is being sent out from the Federal Security Special Investigative Committee pertaining to evidence from Project: Enemy Unknown. Here are some scans of the letter:

I got my letter, and picture today; they're the same as IllusionOfLife posted. Here's a picture of the envelope it came in.

As if the new XCOM game didn't look cool enough (even if it doesn't resemble the original at all), now they have to suck me in with an ARG. D: Oh well, I'm registered.

I found the Citizen One call-to-arms on the main site for Project Enemy Unknown - is that how the website with the .zip file was discovered?

Edit: I couldn't get the video to run in WMP, so for those that don't have VLC or something equally awesome, I uploaded it to Youtube.

Umm… not really a spoiler. This has been obviously XCOM from the beginning, there's just people who desperately want any news on a new GTA game so they're grasping as straws.

There's an actual IC discussion board for all "Citizens" on the 2K forums.

It's the second board under "XCOM"

If you've registered for 2K's forums already, I believe that will transfer over to CitizenSkywatch as a login-with-Facebook-like feature.

OOG: the screen shot IllusionOfLife posted on the game's offical forum in the ctzn1.zip thread, looks like they just forgot to remove the hud from the in game screenshot they used in the video, lol. kindof ruins the hole ARG this-is-not-a-game thing. [/spoiler]
