Title: www.findmakarov.com - Possible Modern Warfare 3 viral website?
Post by: Grovyle on February 26, 2011, 03:21:23 pm
Recently I was browsing the web when I found this:
www.findmakarov.com (http://www.findmakarov.com)

This website features some Modern Warfare 2 sounds, a voice that sounds like it's saying "Shep--" and an image of Shepherd flashes for half a second and then it cuts to a counter. As of this post, 4 days are left for something to happen.

I bet this is a marketing strategy by IW to promote a potential Modern Warfare 2 sequel, just like Treyarch did for Black Ops, in this case the gknova6 website.

What do you think?

Scott sent this to Dave yesterday, his reactions were hilarious.

But yeh, this could be a clever marketing pull from the developers.

Turns out its a Hoax.

The time on the site actually relates to EA's Battlefield slot on wednesday at GDC. Activision have confirmed that they have no intention of announcing modernwarfare 3 and that anything else saying otherwise is a hoax.

Well that's a bummer.
Better luck next time...

We can always still wait 3 more days to check any changes to the website!

It has been revealed that the site was made for a Modern Warfare Film. A Fan Film of course. But not a game of any sort.

Site has changed.
The counter has changed to 1 day and 1 hour, and in the background there's a red radar.

The counter has changed to 1 week and 1 day for some reason, and in the background there's a red radar.

I've seen many articles saying "omg mw3 releasing heres site", "heyyy activision sed they wudnt be announcing", "findmakarov.com is actually for a film", etc etc etc...
But I'm only believing it when I see what happens when the counter goes all the way to zero.

Meh, I'd prefer BF3 better than MW3 anyway.
I'd be surprised, though...

Well, Thats bullshit, and if is a new viral campaign, it's not a very good one.

Post by: Grovyle on March 02, 2011, 06:21:42 pm
Well, that sucked...
I hope IW reconsiders and makes this "find Makarov" business a GAME and not a movie...

The voices are good, special FX are great, but good lord, the acting is very silly.
I hope this is an Independent non-profit Film and not an actual movie to be seen at theaters...

Wasen't IW who made this.
It was some internet media group, just trace the domain and you'll find their website.
