Whether or not it's made by Bethesda, it DOES give us something to talk about for while.
[QUOTE=TNOMCat;43055332]The site is not legit. It looks like the easiest method of getting the closest to legit-looking site was chosen (minimalistic, so you don't need to know how to make graphics at all). The countdown script is a free script on the internet made by some polish guy. The only thing that is making people believe its legit is the organization in the whois. When you register a domain through godaddy, they don't really do any in depth verifications of the info. Registering a troll domain like that through godaddy would cost about 13$ per year. Hosting it costs 5$ per month. It costs the troll 18$ to troll the entire internet with a fake countdown and make people waste their time by decoding messages.[/QUOTE] read this: [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/1ryjhc/why_from_a_legal_perspective_this_does_not_appear/[/url]
So is the whole deal confirmed to be fake or could it still be legit? I haven't followed the whole ARG alot
Guess we'll find out in just under two hours when the timer stops. Either something awesome happens or [I]"Smell that air! Couldn't you just drink it like booze?"[/I] Or rickroll.

Great Scott you're right, I didn't even notice the eight.
If they go for the cold and isolated route and really try to change the game, I wonder how far they'll go. Would be something if they manage to capture the stresses of the environment right. When you're out in the cold of the snowed over woods, it's a different world. You have to control your breathing or you'll end up taking in too much frozen air. You start to feel your blood vessels exploding and can feel fluid in your lungs. And there's the crunch of the snow. And the sense of being watched. And the otherworldly silence. You hear a branch snap and snow cascades down. The creaking of everything from the cold. Trees. The ground. Your own body.

I don't think they're going that far.
Its all fake.
[QUOTE=SexualShark;43064218]Its all fake.[/QUOTE] Thank you for providing proof and enlightening me towards the truth!!! HOW CAN I THANK YOU?! Seriously, you people should post some proof before making such accusations.

Resize your window in a way when the smoke comes up so all the circles align.

Also, this sound is present in the audio on the website (amplified and isolated in Audacity): [url]http://vocaroo.com/i/s0jRoycBEoAy[/url] I'm pretty positive that it's not just on my end.

fake
[QUOTE=SFC003;43085027]fake[/QUOTE] yup, the page just updated with this: [img]http://i.imgur.com/ghiGwN0.png[/img] but i don't think thesurvivor2299 is a hoax tho...

I have absolute faith that 2299 is legit. It's been going on for a long time, Bethesda isn't denying its legitimacy, and it pumps out relatively regular chunks of content. That and ZeniMax owns the 2299 domain.

Bethesda what are you doing to ussss [img]http://i.imgur.com/SO8eRZj.jpg[/img]
I wish they'd fucking tell us if it's legit and that they are hoping to release more info instead of smoking everyone Fuck you Bethesda! I demand an answer
I mean if they are saying anything it could very well be them saying as little as possible to denounce the site as a fake. Or it could be just part of the whole thing.
