Well, it's that time of year Call of Duty fans. Today, late afternoon, a website titled Unexpected Reveal popped up on the web. Rumors swarmed the web talking about a reveal pertaining to either the next Call of Duty, or Respawn entertainments unknown game. I'm going to throw this right out there and say that I think this is fake, but lets go over what we have to dissect here.
A quick screen grab shows the text "Objective was updated: Escape." On top of this very Call of Duty looking type text (and placement), a look at the source code reveals a very specific line of text:
"<meta name="keywords" content="Call of Duty, Activision, Modern Warfare, Teaser Trailer, Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games, Neversoft, 2013 March 21, Countdown, MW4"/>
<meta name="description" content="Call of Duty: Official Countdown"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientlibs-mw4-countdown.css""
However under it, you find something not normally seen in an "official" style website:
"<div id="blkhid"><a href="http://xyz.freelogs.com/stats/j/jamescor/" target="_top"><img border="0" alt="web counter" src="http://xyz.freelogs.com/counter/index.php?u=jamescor&s=miniscu" ALIGN="middle" HSPACE="4" VSPACE="2"></a><script src=xyz.freelogs.com/counter/script.php?u=jamescor>
<br><a style="font-size:12" href="http://www.freelogs.com/create.php" target="_top"><font style="font-size:1" color="#000000">web counter</font></a></div>""
Free Logos eh? Now, I don't know what this is, but it seems pretty easy to figure out IF true. Looking further into it though, we can look into who actually owns the domain. This is what comes up:

That pretty much SHOULD confirm it, but at the same time, this just seems way... way to easy to figure out. Lets be real here, an official G-mail account as the registry? Really?
On the other hand, this time of year is when these Call of Duty "leaks" start rolling out (almost to the day, in this case).
Either way, if it's real, don't act surprised, if it's fake, don't act surprised either. Personally, I think it's a troll job, but let me know what you think by subscribing to me here and following me on twitter @NicholasGigante.
