Official CallOFDuty.com BO2 Viral thread - UPDATE 7

[MegaAfroMan]

Tacitus means secret. I see this as the same thing as the word "Classified" stamped across something. It looks strikingly similar in this image how it is slanted across, just imagine it saying "classified" it fits well in my opinion.

[ZombieChaos23]

I could definitely see "classified" being the solution. The only problem is that FPSRussia is saying that it is common knowledge, yet people have been tweeting at him about it meaning "secret" but he hasn't said anything to them about being correct or his promise of t-shirts.

[teh shrew]

I found out a couple thing

One

Tacitus in latin means silence/calm/mute.

Two

I went into google translate and typed in Tacitus and went though a lot of language's

Italian: tacito , this is mostly pointless info though it 'ment something

Three

Somehow Tacitus is related to Jesus in someway i don't know, I'mma do more research on it later

Thats it for now. Hope it helps :D

It's probably nothing but there are some roads in the Netherlands with name like Tacitus, Remus, Octavius, Romulus, and whatnot. As for the idea about the acronyms or it just being a synonym for secret, seeing as it's the root word for taciturn, they're equally plausible at this point.

All of those are related to Rome. FPSRussia said it had nothing to do with a historical figure.

I'm guessing that the quadcopter thing will be in the prestiege edition?

[bbobs2]

I know this won't help much but I'm pretty sure that I've seen Tacitus before somewhere. Has anyone tried checking the terminal on BO or something.

Its not real so I don't see that happening.

Yes, nothing on Terminal

One

Couldn't tacitus simply mean the name of the killstreak for quadrator?

Or even the name of the next game vs black ops 2

[SizMatics]

This probably has nothing to do with it.....but looked tacitus up on youtube...saw this.....AWESOME SONG! LOL

I don't believe he said that, I believe that tweet was him responding to someone else.

It's going to be hard to find out what it means.

I'm waiting for someone in that song to scream "GIVE ME 115".

Its not real so I don't see that happening.

The RC-XD wasn't real, either.

RC-cars were, manufacturing quadrotors isn't that easy

[PFCSNAFU]

hmm, tacticus, i have a feeling its some company featured in the campaign

Ah, the was my mistake

It looks like it is going to be a long way to deciphering this one :geek:

Coincidence. Why would 3arc involve CoD with another franchise?

[Ny643]

I haven't participated in this thread yet, but have been researching a bit. I looked up the hashtag #TACITUS on Twitter. May or may not mean anything, but it's always the small things. Just odd that this guy posted this a few days before the pic was published.

Just my thought.

[seven2heven]

just found this suspicious site called [[stuff]] but the suspicious thing its almost plain it has [Tacticus' Stuff] as a title so we better check it out and i found some documents may be important?

*EDIT : opps :oops: srry matics http://www.unleet.com/stuff/

It's a coincidence. That Tacticus site that everyone was hyped up about wasn't CoD related. That's a coincidence. The word Tacticus has a meaning it's not just some made up word so it's highly likely it's been used before.

And your site you posted looks like it's related to that other Tacticus site.

[Strwrsbob]

Here is the man's linkedin. http://www.linkedin.com/in/coale

His name and email were on the site earlier today, he is a REAL person. They would not attach the viral to a site owned for 14 years by the SAME person. There you go, sit reproved as irrelevant.

[ZombiesQUANTUM]

Tucitus is a band. Could it be possible that they are using this bands heavy metal music for zombies?
