 		Court Optic 2055 [Trailhead]
New Blops3 ARG?
This trailer just came out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfr053KdD6w

A little Black Ops 3 Teaser, but at 1:43 there seems to be a link, http://www.courtoptic2055.com/ and looking at page source there is a password: bluebird, haven't looked past that, since I came here.

 		Dug a little deeper


Here's a snip from the page source, went to vimeo link and found user "Kyra Beckman" who joined Vimeo about 19 hours ago. https://vimeo.com/user39517926

 		The use of Beckman versus Beckmann may indicate different people, but this might be our mystery advertiser.

Areas of expertise include: business development, budget forecasting & management, project management, interactive technologies and new media.


Note that this is likely the management aspect of the advertising. DO NOT attempt to go after Kyra, that's probably not part of the campaign.

 		Yep, seems to be just the creative team being a bit unknowing about using personal info for projects like this.

Here's something though, looking it up seems a link has already been made.

If you go to the source code of www.courtoptic2055.com you'll see it says "pw: bluebird". You can also see one frame of it in the teaser video, with a text "://bluebird" so I think we are close to getting our hands on a secret, viral marketing website Smile

Quote:
Bluebird was the codename of a CIA reasearched interrogation method. Look up also : MK ULTRA, PROJECT ARTICHOKE

Twitter character in question located here: https://twitter.com/TheUnmarkedMan/with_replies

Project Bluebird info here:

Looks like the new game will run a Manchurian Candidate vibe, perhaps.

 		Another twitter character as well https://twitter.com/Jaxiplanet
Two Soundcloud clips I'm pretty sure has some stuff hidden inside of it

https://soundcloud.com/axiplanet/questions
"Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers"

and

https://soundcloud.com/axiplanet/more-questions
"The final chapter. The first chapter."

Tweeted both accounts "Bluebird" with picture of bird awaiting response.

 		The password can be used on this site. I'm not sure how it was found but putting it in spoiler anyways.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

PW is in ALLCAPS


Edit: I think I know how the site was discovered. This campaign has been going on for awhile. Part of it has involved Sanpchat vids, some (or possibly all) have been found via Snapchat codes found in the gameworld of Call of Duty 2. These vids contain audio spectrogram messages like the one below.


YouTube: Link

There are more pieces, like the Soundcloud audio, when put together led to the website.
