Bungie always had a bit of fun by plonking its staff's faces onto marines, and now 343 is offering you the chance to share in the (presumably existentially troublesome) fun that is watching a digital version of yourself get mauled by space aliens. You just need to take part in the latest phase of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Halo 5: Guardians' ARG campaign.
It all started with a less-than-artfully "glitched" trailer, which threw up a series of symbols, angles and, most importantly a string of binary. (as reported by ) immediately discovered that the ol' computer-speak spelled out "huntthesignal" - and huntthesignal.com, when accessed on a phone, led to a countdown clock sch꧅eduled to end next Wednesday, 6th May.
That website homepage has since been changed to a placeholder image, but a terms and conditions subpage seems to have revealed the end goal - Hunt the Signal is a team-based competition called "glitchHalo", and the winning group of four will have their faces put inไto the final game.
It's unclear exactly what the competition will entail, but the terms and conditions specifically state that it will be open to USꦰ and UK residents only, and require the following smartphone capabilities:
- Video Element
- Canvas Gyroscope (mobile)
- Compass (mobile)
- Geolocation (mobile)
- Websockets
I'd guess that the hasty changes on the site - you can no longer access the terms or team signup pages - mean that 🌺this appeared a little too fast for 343's liking. You can probably expect the competition to open on Wednesday - and don't be s🙈urprised if it slots in alongside #HuntTheTruth, the ongoing Halo 5 episodic podcast series.
The series has taken a conspiracy-laden turn in the last week or so, and you can see several characte♋r's names (including host, Benjamin Giraud) in one of the glitch screens from the latest trailer:
