It appears as though Tom Clancy is trying his hand at an Alternate Universe Game, similar to "Ilovebees".

The website shows a beaten man, and plays radio broadcasts explaining that the USA and parts of Europe have been rocked by explosions, and citizens are immigrating to China, Canada, and Mexico.

The ubisoft forums have a division for this site, and you can find it here

Maybe its a new Splinter Cell game? The sidebar of the site has certain links that come up, leading to audio, which have been recorded on this Wiki, hint at Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, and Rainbow Six

    The wiki has some interesting information.
    Also, I thought that the Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell universes were the same (they stated that certain events in SC3 were referenced in GR2) but that Rainbow was seperate.

    Guess that's getting retconned.

    i hope it's a game that involves the ghosts, team rainbow, and the splinter cells all together somehow.

    Sounds like it. There's mention of Cross-com and Spliter Cells in some of the mp3s.

    Alternate Reality Game.

    I actually enjoy them sometimes, depends on the property they're based on.

    And I miss I Love Bees, is it healthy that I listen to it in completion semi-regularly?

    If loving ILBs is wrong I don't want to be right.

    So far this is an awesome tease, even if nothing else comes of it. If it truly is an ARG, then it's just that much better.

    So Evil and I have weighed in, does that mean that Stacher, Recoil, Legacy and the other folks from the ILBs days aren't far behind?

    Here's a brief summary of what I could glean, separated into relevant areas of interest:

    The World:

    Seems to be set @ 2027, given mention of the recent 2026 Winter Olympics and the upcoming 2028 Olympics. There seems to be some sort of global war taking place, to the point where armor battles are taking place in (a destroyed?) Washington D.C. Incendiary raids taking place in London and elsewhere. OPEC has collapsed, leaving an energy combine in its' place. Displaced persons camps are springing up all over the place, from the Middle-East to Europe. The U.K, France, and Spain are fighting some (currently unknown) opposing force, suffering casualties measured in the thousands per day and possibly losing Paris. Refugees are fleeing to China. There is mention of a European Federation.

    The U.S. of mutherfuckin' A:

    NYC has issues with collapsed tunnels and spontaneous riots. Immigrants are streaming into Mexico and Canada. The capital has been moved to Boston where Sen. Kennedy is causing some upset by appropriating federal funding for local works. Vets are a little peeved over the big tank battle in Arlington National Cemetary. NYSE has moved to Chicago and the US$ is tanking. the U.S. is doing some ass-whoopin' on the Gulf coast, but it doesn't mention which Gulf coast.

    The dude:

    There's references to Splinter Cell and GRAW in the audio clips. CBUG (Creepy Beat-Up Guy) was born in 1991, was awarded a medal for the successful retreat in the defense of Atlanta (only 12% casualties!). Recommended promotion to O-4 (Major). His MOS (Army specialty) corresponds to Counter-Intelligence Specialist. Medical stuff on the right talks about psychiatric history involving what amounts to (in my opinion) severe PTSD, to the point of catatonia, obsesses over past ops, cannot distinguish past from present. He has a fairly severe injury in the right shoulder/arm that may leave him permenantly disabled. The right-hand bar seems to indicated that he is a captive of some sort. He also has a severe negative (almost Pavlovian) response to Slavic languages. He speaks English, French, Spanish, and Russian. Mentions something about a cross-comm hard drive with partial damage. Served in U.S. operations in Eritrea in Africa.

    Important video clips:

    These are seen when you click on various highlighted titles on the right hand side.
    -Battle in Arizona: heavy casualties sustained seizing some plaza
    -GRAW type stuff (occasionaly GRAW HUD) - getting overrun by heavy armor
    -Ubi loves V-22s (Ospreys for the noobs)
    -CBUG has a family. Something happens involving people shouting "GET ON THE FLOOR NOW! when our homeboy is saying pre-deployment goodbyes.

    So who's the enemy? The Russkies? Damn, we should have finished them off while Patrick Swayze and Lea Thompson were still in fighting shape!

    Long ago there was talk of a new "splinter cell" franchise that would involve more gunplay. I'm assuming this is it.

    I find it funny that Canada and Mexico are protecting their borders from people trying to immigrate from USA. It would seem USA's not so hot anymore in that setting. Would they dare make a game where the United States are not all-powerful and dominant?

    Oh Jesus, why did you have to go there, just when I thought that I had gotten over it. And when they put that thing in the guy's brother and they totally knew everything that he did and his brother, he had to shoot him.... oh Christ, its too soon! WOLVERINES!!!1!!1111!!!1!!1!!!!!!1ONE1!!1!!!!!!ELEVEN!!!!!!!!1!!!!

    Um, yeah seems like a good game and stuff, though.

    Doubt it will be an ARG, as the page seems much like the one they made for Splinter Cell: Double Agent.
    Slowly releasing pictures and audio clips over time, but with no interaction from the fan.

    Was that supposed to be a joke? Because my post was a joke. Or are we not doing that anymore?


    Seriously, what?
