For the record, the "shots" I'm taking are not at Carbonfiber, or any named individual for that matter (well, they would be at a named individual if one of the handler trolls of gknova came out and named themself). I could give a sh*t how quickly he releases any information he's been given. All of my frustrations and the frustrations of everyone else that's taken a part in this; cod fans, uF and the like(if there is anyone else), are a reflection of how poorly managed this was. I have a problem with the "puppetmasters" of this "viral marketing campaign" becaue a) IMO they don't make the cut to even be considered "puppetmasters". How cool is it when the "puppets" you intend to target all along are actually just your own choir who were previously and despite future undertakings will ever be singing your praises? Shouldn't puppeteering be somewhat of a challenge in and of itself? And b) how "viral" can this thing actually be considered? So it went viral amongst, once again, the choir. Just how viral is that, honestly was there anyone else but uber 1337 cod fan posting youtube videos about this or up in arms excited for it (and of course those at uF as well)? All news sites dropped any coverage so quick it was like the thing never existed....

This was mis-managed, bottom line and those who weren't COD fans previously but have been tempted to buy Black Ops now just because of gknova I think are near non-existent. So what exactly is there left to argue about then if this thing is near irrelevant for anyone other than cod fan? There's really nothing left to bicker about. The arguments should all be taking place in Call of Duty forums about who's closest friends with Carbon now or whatever else you wanna debate about but it's pretty obvious that this has little to no business here any longer......other than to stir shmit up lol!

This wasn't the most poorly conceived game by any stretch of the imagination, SamuelofR247. The puzzles looked fun. I say looked because I didn't actually participate. Everyone seemed to enjoy it until recently at any rate. The production value was much better than average I would say, although the usenet bits were kind of lackluster. If I had to make one complaint, I'd say there wasn't enough character development and/or interaction. I think I would have probably contributed a bit more if I felt something for the characters. Perhaps we should try to keep the criticism a bit more constructive.

Someone at the CoDz forums is reporting a phone number found on one of the Black Ops posters that leads to some odd music mixed in with a series of tones.

(877)386-4270

And here's the image from the poster (credit to DrKillshot24 from CoDz):


I can't call the line for myself here, but it does seem odd that the phone number was placed discretely, borderline hidden, on a single poster received during pre-order.

I have no idea if this is part of this game or not, but it's worth mentioning here.

When I say "not part of the game", I mean that it could have been put there by the company that printed the poster for all I know.

I'm not saying it's a "gamejack" or an attempt to distract us.

I tried calling it, got the same ice cream truck music and tones. Honestly, I don't think it could be anything but an ARG because it's so strange.

Also, I noticed the tones sort of sound like a fax tone. Anyone have one?

3121614 or

31 21 61 4 or

3 1 2 1 6 1 4

That's the number of tones between each chime.

Does it mean anything to anyone? lol
