Emergency Broadcast System - COD4MW2

[colin70000]

This scares the SHIT out of me.

[MrJoker5551000]

k prince george county? where is that? the city i live in is called prince george, this message scared the shit outta me!

[Cline3911]

@MrJoker5551000 Prince George County is in Maryland. When I was several years younger I used to live in neighboring Anne Arundel County. When I played this game for the first time I just smiled when I saw this loading screen.

[Champraves311]

I was in PG county when I saw this. I ran towards my roommate scared shitless ready to pack my things, before I realized he was watching Monday Night Football. Wooh that was close.

[TheNegraModelo]

I was playing this mission at my friends house while i was close to a place named krikwood and almost had a panic attack(x lol then i figured out it was the game i woke his parents up and everything hahaha

[Luke5119]

@TheNegraModelo - LMAO, almost exact same thing happened to me. Kirkwood is a county where I live, here in St. Louis. I nearly shit myself, I was like....um. Cuz I was playing and left the room for a sec, then came back to this.

[saucylalalalala]

If there was ever an emergency (and i know as i work for a tv company) this will not happen. what this is, is what yu pick up in signal fail. yu will get a stand by screen in a real one

[GSPatton89]

So I'm assuming the Redskins home game is cancelled right?

[muitikiller]

Gay as hell

[harold562]

lol, this has the first two letters of the Morse code as sound, though, played the game and didn't notice before S. ( - - - ) O. ( . . . )

[ExtraTerrestrials]

fuking scary aint it

[PivotB3stZ]

I'm going to Tell my dad as a joke and call him up.

"Dad, are you watching TV?"

"No, why?"

"I'm getting one of these warnings sounding like this *Put phoen to speaker* it says *Read everything off except adjust to actually locations in Oklahaoma.* "\

He would Freak out ! xD I'm so doing this.

[joezetank]

i'm gonna be honest, i shit my pants when i was playing this bit, especially when the writing started coming across the screen i thought we'd been nuked.

[TreehuggerSnr]

Idk why, but that alarm thingy scares the shit out of me :(

[CompuHacker]

@TreehuggerSnr It should. That might be the last thing you ever hear.

[TreehuggerSnr]

@CompuHacker

Thanx, that makes me feel much, muuuuch better and safer....

[CompuHacker]

@TreehuggerSnr It shouldn't. The last few countries with nukes are run by alpha dog crazies with nothing left to lose. And they're coming.

[TreehuggerSnr]

@CompuHacker

I feel great now...

[Blackmaclecter187]

@CompuHacker Heh...These countries you speak of...they are full of people who aren't even tall enough to reach the button..let alone their "missile" tech being much more sophisticated than that of a bottle rocket haha I think we've all seen their test launches..now Russia..well..that's a whole different can of worms..I won't even go there..just listen to the soothing sounds of the EAS :)

[gluemanred]

@TreehuggerSnr AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[klas22joey]

@TreehuggerSnr You want Chip and Dale music theme for alarm?

[codyrhodessux]

@TreehuggerSnr Me too...I'm almost 11 and I try not to like act all scared...

[KingLizard107]

@TreehuggerSnr why?

[ExtremeArcanine1]

@TreehuggerSnr After the 3 beeps, it should have a long beep lol. And your right this does scare me111

[vuongquang007]

lol lol im playing and i jump to turnoff xbox360 it shitbrick

[doughboy1728]

Holy fuck i go to college at university of maryland in prince georges county and i just shit myself

[dkrypto911]

lol I JUST saw this and first thing that popped in my head was "finally...zombie outbreak... it's going DOWNNN BITCHES!! GET SOME! oh wait..."

[Erik0219]

This happened just recently... the sound (not the program) was cut off... they were looking for a man on the run.... i thought it was creepy although I live in Canada and i was watching a US channel... lol what-ever... i hope everyone will remain safe...

[CineFRAGS]

yeah dude remain alert cuz those bieber infected guys are everywhere

[coolcatevan9]

holy crap we live in Balto and when me and my sister saw this (we like near PGC) We were like OMG

[abbiedukes]

This thing scared the shit out of me because at that very moment i heard a car start and screech away! It was like 3 AM.I jumped, ran across to my roommates bedroom and started banging on the door..then i thought wait a minute..thats when i realised it wasnt real. Lucky enough my roommate didnt hear me. she still doesn't know LOL

[megamanfan3]

This "EBS" must've also been testing the colors that can be displayed by the GPU.

[CompuHacker]

@megamanfan3 Although this isn't pixel perfect, it would be more prudent to try displaying 16 million colors rather than 16 colors and 64 shades of gray.

[MyndPhreakFilmz]

Yay

[GANJAESHA]

i live in prince george's county this shit scared the shit out of me

[PrusseLusken]

"COD4MW2? "COD4"?

Are you fucking dense? Holy shit, MW2 is not Call of Duty 4

[CompuHacker]

@PrusseLusken Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Although this is not official nomenclature, FUCK YOU sir.

[Rocketlauncher59]

@CompuHacker

This is Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare is the first version of Modern Warfare (wich gone out in 2007)

You wrote Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare 2 : this doesnt exists 

[CompuHacker]

@Rocketlauncher59 Modern Warfare 2 is the direct sequel to COD4MW. As such, fuck you.

[Rocketlauncher59]

@CompuHacker

I know it dude , but what you wrote in the description is wrong.

[OreosboyMovieMaker]

@PrusseLusken Stfu dude...

[StinkyCheeseMan987]

it was so weird during that level for me, because i live about 20 minutes away from DC and 40 from Prince George's County.. haha

[GANJAESHA]

@StinkyCheeseMan987 yea same i live in arlington 

[UTubeLightBulb]

y does it have to be so real!? =(

[GeicoCaveman57]

@UTubeLightBulb I know, right? The anti-climatic scene shown here is actually so scary and dramatic, like it's a tragic movie or like it's real.

[SuperVillaTube]

@CompuHacker it is morse code for S.O.S

[terminatorfresh666]

ok good, i thot my game was broken, thanks

[CompuHacker]

@terminatorfresh666 You better be joking.

[GiantEnemyCrab63]

i live in Prince Williams county by George Mason campus in Northern Virginia and i think it was pretty awesome how there were just russians walking through my neighborhood in this game

[StinkyCheeseMan987]

@GiantEnemyCrab63

is it actually a replica of the neighborhood too? or did they just use the name of the county?

[GiantEnemyCrab63]

@StinkyCheeseMan987

nah it looks alot like my neighborhood and the area but its not a replica

[Againya23]

It just like 47 sec and it freaked me out in the middle of my i thought it have been down like i was looking in my computer and there like everything ok it really stupid oke dokie! And i hate the eas.

[Ortega2Productions]

ZOMG ZOMBIES!!!! * Cocks Model 1887* Lets Go. FUCK IT WAS A GAME DAM IT *puts away Model 1887*

[coolcatevan9]

I remember I was playing this when I came up and I was like HOLY SH*T!Were gonna die!Oh its only a game...

[darkrai227]

shit i think my computer broke!

[OlivieroBrandenburg]

HD Download link somebody?

[Bennyisawsome1112]

XD the game tricked us

[Againya23]

It should be like a war and that background is like a war on Call of duty modern warfare.

[janis0zo]

is it possible that this is a morse code?

And this would work better in a zombie game than mw2 because i thought my pc got fucked up

[CompuHacker]

@janis0zo This is not morse code. They serve a specific technical function.

[VALVEGAMER20]

some times on the TV you can here this noise and text/voice will be on the screen telling about a emergency of some sort ( tornados, flooding , hurricanes , bad thunderstorms, etc...)

[thecooldude9999]

@janis0zo no its SAME a incoded messege

[thefaulkness]

Omg when this came on I was really freaked out and I don't even live in the us

It was the middle of the night as well!

[tubemaster2701]

I don't know if this is relevent or not, but I actually read about a town in NY that is experimenting with their EAS setup to make it so they can interupt video games to bradcast the tones. They're still testing it out though.

[CompuHacker]

@tubemaster2701 Seems like that would take some dedicated and potentially expensive equipment in every home.

[tubemaster2701]

@CompuHacker It's actually quite simple, the warnings would be broadcast using the Xbox360/PS3/Wii's internet connection.

[srk4044]

This isn't too hard to do, as you've mentioned... For example, you can get a brief ESPN radio broadcast on the menu screens of NCAA Football 2010 on PS3. But it 1) requires internet connection and 2) requires the player to be on the menu screens at the time.

And it shouldn't be too difficult to get the game console to pause the game and jump back to the console menu. For example, going back to the PS3...if you hit the PS button on the controller, it jumps back to the XMB screen...

[compboy1]

That wouldn't be too hard, really. There's a technology known as the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), which works quite similar to Really Simple Syndication (CAP). All a console manufacture would have to do is ask for your ZIP Code, or just use GeoIP, and then check the right CAP feed from the NWS or State EMA every few minutes. If it sees a relevant alert, just pop up a notification like the Xbox does when a friend signs on, with a tone or something to grab your attention.

[natedoggcata]

@tubemaster2701

They can also turn on your TVs and turn up the volume as well in the event of a real emergency

[motorheadbanger90]

Lol I livei n Prince Georges county. its borders most of DC. lol pretty neat how accurate this game is

[CompuHacker]

@KOOLANCE720 That's stupid. This clearly tells people to evacuate, not entrench themselves in basements.

[DevHalo]

the sounds make SOS :p 3 short beeps 3 long beeps 3 short beeps

[compboy1]

Totally coincidental.

It's actually a SAME header, which is what tells EAS units at TV or Radio stations to activate. It's basically a digitally encoded string of text. This one decodes to:

ZCZC-EAS-RWT-017031-017043-017­089-017091-017093-017097-01711­1-017197-017063+0100-1710540-W­LS TV

NNNN

NNNN

NNNN

[xXJeeXTeeXAyeXmanXx]

@DevHalo its not meant to, they should be used at start and end

[RisingDawnStudios]

I was about to change the channel to see if this was fake or not until I saw the loading bar at the bottom :p Lol fail

[coldbeerxtreme]

lol me to i jumped and looked outside

[junkyarddog14]

I thought this shit was real but before you guys make fun of me just know i live right next to Prince George's(PG) county and I was really high.

[DJMEELAAAAR]

I bet you were scared shitless
