That's the easy part, I was referring to counting the tones. But like I said, I can do it when I get home. It's rather complicated, but if someone really wants to do it, I put instructions in a previous post with a link to a program that can do it.

The CoDz people found it really. It was 4 messages posted by "X O" (acesquadronsampsSPLATgmail.com). Each message contained a rapidshare link to a compressed file, you had to have all 4 parts to decompress plus a password, the password was mason, from "May all servants of nihilism".

Forgot to mention the messages were found in the google groups, same place as the "NOVA TRUTHSEEKERS" messages.


Oh yeah, I remember now. And that "acesquadronsamps" was an analogy for Square and Compass...ok. Totally slipped my mind lol...

Anyhoo, it already feels like we're going in circles once again!

I did, the numbers I gave were a result of my own counting and tone checking Smile And I decoded the letters from the results I found.

 		Completing the file
I posted this info on the CODz forum:

each lline in the incomplete document should need about 20 characters per line for completion. I gathered thsi number by counting the characters per line in the M55 document as well as the document, discussed above, from transmission 4.

My assumption for the first two lines:
"We are on schedule thus far. Stability has been an issue. Tests,
however, are promising and yield results beyond our expectations"

italics are what I have added

While I don't have the "proof" to back this up, it does seem logical IMO and hopefully will help figure out where to find such answers for a proper filler...

Sounds good to me. But having figured that out it makes me skeptical of how productive that may be.

On a side note, can anyone tell what character is after Report No. NOVA.S?

Either R or F or P. Very difficult to confirm.

The only thing I think this would help is during trial and error of decyphering a document. That is to say if something is found yielding similar results then we know we are on the right track

 		So the number 2010032 is obviously from the teaser.

There is a flash of a sig556 rifle in the teaser, it just randomly appears and disappears. When it's visible, there are parts of 2 other numbers visible on the left side of the screen.

 		It's amazing. But then, maybe that USB has different purpose. And those audio and words leave us hanging. Maybe in due time, the message will be configured

 		OK, I'm lost, but I have a necessary question... Does any of this new content link back to existing, verified COD:BO content, such as the trailer?

Yeah I think so, the number 2010032 is in the document and the teaser. Also the room in the teaser looks a whole lot like the room in the picture i shouldn't have put up.

I'd say 75%: "R" 25% "P."

Pretty sure it's an R, but that period and with the little bit of noise in there, it's hard to tell. has anybody cleaned the audio of that section? or is the noise there all "intentional?" lol

 		Oh, something else I wanna throw out there, I took the time to count the blinking light in the corner. This is the pattern it flashes:

1 1 1 2 1 3 2 1 2 2 1

There is no obvious start/stop point, nor is there any obvious gaps in between the lights. I'm thinking this could be nothing more than a red herring.

I'd say R as well. Especially since it's a Stability Report
