This strange video has appeared on the official XboxUK channel.

The binary decodes to www.huntthesignal.com. Let’s find out what this is.

Tried opening it. It’s definitely something from 343 since the ONI icon displays on the tab. It says “Incorrect platform” eventually for me. Anyone tried opening it on their phones?

EDIT: Opened it on my phone and something new happened! A countdown is displayed on the screen now (120 (h): 20 (m) : 00 (s)) right now. Something is going to happen in 5 days. Any ideas as to what it could be?

It says the same thing in the video.

Yeah I just did, it is another countdown :slight_smile:

Wtf it’s a count down timer
130 hours till something?!

Pause at 0.09 - there is a list of names plus a bunch of binary code on the ONI screen

EDIT

OP has the binary decode - well done!
Nice find OP!

Look at the writing for the you tube video - it’s all squirly, whats that about?
here it is.

Ooh 343 keeps giving me chills. Halo 5’s marketing is a whole bunch of yes for me.

The ONI icons doen’t mean it’s something from 343, anyone could have made that website and put it out there: http://whois.domaintools.com/huntthesignal.com

Looks and fees fan made, but could still be something fun. Don’t see it being related to the Hunt the Truth stuff

edit
I missed that the video clip from from Xbox UK

What is that second symbol that appears?

Hmm… Alright, thanks for the heads up.

The xboxuk channel looks fairly legit until you go back more than 10months on the videos - then it is obviously not anything to do with Microsoft -

looks like stkrboy is right.

Will be or won’t be legit?

Gah, so many edits haha. Ok, yes this looks to be legit. XboxUk twitter confirms this as they link to the youtube channel :slight_smile:
Sorry for the confusion, I’ve edited my past posts. let’s get hunting!

I’ve passed this on to the team and we’re actively investigating.

Excellent, thanks Seph!
