Before you read this, I warn you, it's all very mysterious - simply a developer teasing the gaming world to their new game in the works. No-one has any idea of what it is yet, the main two contenders being Fallout Vegas, or Call of Duty 7 Zombies, Fallout looking the much more likely outcome in my opinion.

Cryptography; Isotope; Philanthropy; Hydrogen; Ember; Rebirth. Cipher! But for what?

An audio file embedded on the same drive offered only some electronic voices, a sequence of letters and numbers read by a female voice -- M O D [sound of 3 chimes] Z Z Z J N Q R Y D 3 F R P -- and some words spoken by a man: "What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also," followed by, "Don't believe everything you see."
The identity of the man speaking may be impossible to determine, but you might recognize the person he's quoting initially: Julius Caesar. Using a Caesar cipher, and assuming that "mod" and the sound of 3 chimes signaled a shift of 3 letters, we ended up with "W W W G K N O V A 6 COM." That led to a mysterious website, featuring a small, adjustable television set. You must login or register to view this content.
More codes and quotes! As best as we and our partner Google can determine, the quote emanating from the television is from Francis Bacon and -- yes, that's right. Bacon Cipher. It's less delicious than it sounds.
The audio message on the website simply spells out "Nova Six" over and over, but some of the letters are spoken by a male, whereas other are spoken by a female. Bacon's method of steganography is used to hide messages within plain sight, usually with different type faces. We assumed that the male and female voices offered a similar method of obfuscation, and converted each male letter to "A" and each female letter to "B."
At the very end, a voice utters, "Hell is purple." Et voila: You must login or register to view this content. offers an automatic converter for the "Baconian Cipher." After plugging in our converted string of letters, we received this confirmation:
"APRIL WEEK TWO."
Now we know why it's called an ARRRRGGG. Will something happen next week? Or is there some other clue hidden away? Did we post this just to show off, or to inconspicuously beg for your help? Can you cope with so many mysteries at once?

Apparently, a video was also released on the gknova6 site, but I can't see it there any more. People took some screenshots of the video, mostly being nuclear reactions, various elements, schematics for atomic bombs, a nuclear explosion, which all sounds very Fallout to me. Again, it could mean Zombies, but I doubt it. You can find that thread You must login or register to view this content.
Video on gknova6.com, thanks to IceCold for this:

What does this video mean? Well it's filled with images of the Cold War - Nuclear weapons, the arms race, American 50/60's capitalist propaganda etc, so that gives us a time period, as confirmed by the Black Ops rumours. The inclusion of Kennedy, also tells us that either the Bay of Pigs incident, in which an American invasion force to take control of Cuba was destroyed, or the infamous Cuban Missile Crisis, will feature in the game, as Kennedy was the main man in bother events. For all the still images of the video, check this link You must login or register to view this content.

speculation:
they had those wierd crates of some random element in w@w so they could be eluding to those elemants... anybody remember those crazy dogs that were on fire? they were made out of that random element that in w@w was made up
any other ideas?

ok my first question is wut could FRP stand for because all the things said before that gave an error sound but that one made sumthin work so if we could find out wut it meant then it would help alot maybe its a password to some thing that helps us out. another thing is how do we no tht this isnt just some guy that sent it to all these people?
another thing is, treyarch didnt let mw2 put zombies (or a form of zombies) in there game for a reason, cuz dont u think tht by the time they came out with a third one it wud get kinda boring and also the video b4 it with nuke elements and stuff means that it has to come from a game that takes place a while ago and there is the nuke in mw2 so just thoughts +rep me if i helped
they also have the last thing as "Rebirth". rebirth of what? zombies?? i think so
the video showing different elements is still there if u tune the tv u can see the picture clearly and during the middle it shows them and a nuke goin off in a baseball field and sum sort of plan with a map (maybe a map to the zombie level)
Cryptography-Anything written in a secret code, cipher, or the like. well we got that. thats how we got the website. now all thats left is...
Isotope - any of two or more forms of a chemical element, having the same number of protons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, or different atomic weights. There are 275 isotopes of the 81 stable elements, in addition to over 800 radioactive isotopes, and every element has known isotopic forms. Isotopes of a single element possess almost identical properties. (i think this has somthing to do with the elements in the video and could have something to do with either the wunerwaffe or a nuke)
Philanthropy - To dispense or receive aid in the form of a gift from funds intentioned for humanitarian purposes. (this is probably reviving someone thats down in zombies)
Hydrogen - A colorless, odorless, flammable gas that combines chemically with oxygen to form water: the lightest of the known elements. (possibly flamethrower hint)
Ember - A small live piece of coal, wood, etc., as in a dying fire. (maybe somthing to do with a flamethrower)
Rebirth - a renewed existence, activity, or growth (rebirth of zombies)
+rep and thank if i helped

Ok, the actual video from gknova6.com is now in the main post thanks to IceCold, with a possible explanation to what it means. I can confirm that this is definitely not Fallout, as the developer was contacted and confirmed they had nothing to do with the video.
