Title: Call of Duty: Black Ops and GKNOVA6.com
Post by: Grovyle on May 01, 2010, 12:34:23 pm
(May be old news but I haven't seen any topic about this)

Call of Duty: Black Ops will be the seventh main installment in the Call of Duty series, and is being developed by Treyarch.[1] The confirmation of the game's development was leaked by David Kim, a senior animator at Treyarch. The game is to be set in the Vietnam War during the 1960s, and will be released on November 9, 2010[2]. Although not much else is known, it has been hinted that the game will be set in Vietnam and the Cold War.

GKNOVA6 is a viral website suspected to be a promoter for the upcoming video game, Call of Duty: Black Ops. The flash site consists of an old television with five vertical lights (for each "channel") and as of April 22, 2010, there are only three which are active. The site contains many references to the Cold War and nuclear weapons such as a photograph of John F. Kennedy delivering a speech about the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Discovery of the site
In early April, an unmarked USB storage device has been sent to several video game sites such as IGN[1]  and Kotaku[2]. It contained a text file[3]  with the following words:
Cryptography
Isotope
Philanthropy
Hydrogen
Ember
Rebirth

The acronym of these words forms "CIPHER".

It also contained an audio file[4] in which a man says: "What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also." This is followed by a woman saying:
M O D [sound of 3 chimes] Z Z Z J N Q R Y D 3 F R p

The quote is from Julius Caesar. These suggest to use the Caesar cipher which consists in shifting each letter to Nth position after the original (N  is fixed for each text) to encrypt it. In this case, the 3 sounds indicate that it has been shifted 3 times to encrypt it, so the letters must be shifted back 3 times in order to decrypt the code:

W W W G K N O V A 6 C O M

I won't copy the rest of the page, if you wish to read the decrypting/whatever of the transmissions, try this: http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/GKNOVA6 (http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/GKNOVA6)

There are THREE transmissions as of 21st April 2010.
The site is just an old TV with 5 channels (2 of them are not functional... yet), and in each transmission there is a different screen animation (the 3rd one doesn't do any video, just audio), and there's people saying letters and numbers, meaning it's a code and an hidden meaning is beyond those letters.

One funny thing is, if you know Morris Code, you may notice the 6th "Button" which is always red and flickers, if you pay attention and decrypt it, it says "COD7", or at least that's what I've heard, I can't confirm it.

Opinions?

Yeah, and bare in mind 'Infintity Ward' have been fired so by the looks of it, Treyarch is taking over. So im expecting these to be a big hit. If anyone is wondering whats going to happen to Infinity Ward, they signed a contract with HALO for an unknown period of time.

Overall...
Can't wait. :D

Not expecting anything great, to be honest, considering it's Treyarch. But hey, let's give them a chance. After all, they may produce a game that's better than MW2. Who knows?

Yeah, and bare in mind 'Infintity Ward' have been fired so by the looks of it, Treyarch is taking over. So im expecting these to be a big hit. If anyone is wondering whats going to happen to Infinity Ward, they signed a contract with HALO for an unknown period of time.

Yes, they've also signed and formed a new studio with EA.

It looks alright, i dont think theyve spent enough time on it though, hopefully it wont be too similar to world at war. (im not saying world at war was bad im just saying it would be nice to have a little change in the gameplay)

Gknova6.com has all transmissions now.
This "game" just keeps getting better...

A codZ (a COD forum) administrator got a briefcase with the GKNOVA symbol on it (proof) (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100524070110/callofduty/images/5/5b/Gkcase.png) and there are MANY connections with the uncut reveal trailer and the viral website...

I better stay off this before I start speaking bullshit. :rofl:

YYYYYYYYESSSSSSSSSSSSS

They should remain the standart UAV-Airstrike (Controllable like in MW2 tho) - Helicopter and add something a bit more devastating, but higher the killcount for every air support on 1.

Like: UAV 4 - Air Strike 6 - Helicopter 8 - <Insert something new here> 12

Don't.
Wait until it releases and watch the reviews.
If you're low on money then wait a few months after release that the price will drop.

Well.. not exactly... It could take a months or a year to drop the price to maximum 10 euros... trust me, i did the same for WaW and i got tired and bought it..

Like COD4 on Steam.
Damn bad guys made it 60 euros for around a year or more.
