 		Halo 4 ESPN ad - rogue proc 10?
Probably nothing, but hopeful nostalgia
Posted to HBO's forum this morning:
http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1143538

The ESPN ad currently playing for Halo 4, once playing, slowly disrupts your browser... and leads to the Didact's glyph.

Watch closely, lots of text flickers throughout. People tried to capture the text, but of course the easy way is decompiling the flash, which provides this list of text:

Quote:
,{"gameId":39598,"date":"20120522060000","home":{"name":"S. Mirza","score":"1 5","idme":{"name":"A. Rus","score":"7 3 6","id":"810"},"away":{"name":"J. Zvba","leagues":[{"league":"wnba","display

(this json may just be a red herring, to look like a broken standard sport stats request... Mirza and Rus are tennis players, though I couldn't find anything about "Zvba" in the WNBA Smile )

and these strings:
Code:
38XUI¶¶ aos . 299 .
!attach act drop
d!D@cT
thanksshk terminal
862.293.342.3487.2
linvntry terminal

rogue proc 10
probe terminal proc 10
!bite proc 10
!diag proc 10
94.  ssdd a s--------

!bite rogue pro 1 recurse
clean !splotch control
s et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur
So8ii  aspoke  qpdkv  disofasddddddd
Cras mattis imperdiet est, quis pharetra sdr3
Curae; In tempor pulvinar felis in ves
Maecenas tincidunt vehicula est, vitae condim
imperdiet felis sit amet mauris dignissim
oque penatibus et magnis dis parturient r35
Curabitur sagittis quam vel nisl cas37 jj6-fdd
scelerisque faucibus. In auctor leo eu sapien
Ut sollicitudin neque
faucibus neque accumsan. Ut convallis sagittis
Proin suscipit malesuada elementum.
a justo. Vestibulum dapibus aliqu

There are no special characters, all standard keyboard text.
It's hard to tell if the latin is just lorem ipsum placeholder text. The phrases aren't connecting with any text other than other forums posting about the same ad content Smile

The "flea code" refers to rogue "proc 10", and there's clearly "d!D@cT" referenced.

The number string is odd, amongst a few other strings...


Now it may all just be random content with some recognizable tidbits thrown in for nostalgia and hype, but hey, it's worth posting about at least, right? Smile

A suggestion was made that perhaps there's something new to enter in the HaloWaypoint.com terminal
