5th Column Activity High: New Threat Coming?

Red_Mirage · 10-13-2004 07:04 PM

Perhaps it is a reference to the first updates portals as others have said.

Maybe they managed to recruit from Axis America?

Also an odd note particular to the Nazi's of WWII. They were heavily into the occult and mysticism. This doesn't really surprise me at all.

Sure, and the Germans had plans to have "sleeper" agents in occupied terrirtories after the war to run a resistance / sabotage, type operations. There were called Werewolves.

Why would the White Rabbit's comments be dismissed? Sure he's wired a little askew, and has a lagamorph brain but....well..., ok, I see their point.
Still nice to be important but more important to be nice. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late I'm late.....

Not sure if this is some of that new 5th activity stuff, but while hunting 5th in bricks for a mission I ran into a few packs of about 9 or 10. They were talking about how they're going to take over the city and how the (nearby) werehouse would make a good base. Oh, and also how they should begin with recruiting.

Clearly a hint as to what's in Update #3 - Weeee!

[/ QUOTE ]

I seriously doubt it. There has been no official announcement or preview on the website about what's in store for Issue 3 (both the previous issues had at least one preview web page created). Nothing for Issue 3 is on the training room server. There has been no pre-download of content files. All of this means that Issue 3 is still at least one month away, and probably two or three.

If this was a prelude to Issue 3, then it would have to drag out for a very long time, which would make the final release of the issue somewhat anticlamactic.

They're just fundraising for their chosen candidate for the upcoming election.

I won't say which party they're supporting but I don't think an explanation is necessary this year.

"Well... I can't confirm this with any real solid evidence, Shades of Grey is still investigating, but I heard from a contact of mine that the 5th column are coming out of their hiding places because they have to.

Something is , pardon the pun, forcing them to abandon their rabbit holes. We're still following clues and questioning a couple of 5th members that we've captured. I assure you, we have ways of making them talk.

I also have no proof that this is tied to the Ark of the Covenant. What I CAN tell you is that Germany has declared war on the Jones Boys.That reminds me..."

The Requiem we fought in the "To Save a Thousand Worlds" Storyline was not the Requiem of our dimension, but a different one (if you don't believe me, read what the contact says after you kill him). The Requiem of our dimension is still at large and you never actually meet him in any missions or anything. Perhaps with this new update they will add in a few large epicish missions to finally be able to beat the crap out of the Requiem of our dimension? And then theres also that helmetless 5C leader guy, he looks like a good candidate for a low level 5C AV, as the 5C AVs as of now are 30ish (Vandal) 42 (Nos) and 45-50 (Werewolf Dimension Requiem) them having a lower level AV considering the hugeness of the group (spans all 50 levels more or less) would be pretty cool.

The 5th Column are going to merge with The 5th Dimension and form the funkiest Disco-Nazi band ever.

Smells like Halloween to me...

Anyone else notice the trees changing color at all?

[/ QUOTE ]

People keep saying this but I don't buy it. I seem to remember some orange and yellow leaves on trees on launch. I'll believe that they are changing the game environment for the seasons when the trees in perez park and eden start to change (which they are not)

That's what I was thinking. They do have different Emblems on their uniforms than the %th Column Soldiers but I'm pretty certain they are Axis America and not S.P.I.D.E.R. I think it's too soon for that group to show itself since it will most probably surface during the launch of CoV and not before.

Aphid_Man · 10-13-2004 09:45 PM

It's an alliance! The Fifth Column, Nemesis, and Devouring Earth are forming into one villain group, henceforth known as the Devouring Nemesis Column!

Merchant · 10-13-2004 10:05 PM

It's really not difficult to figure out.

Halloween plus 5th Column??
SPOILERS AHEAD..

5th Column + Jackson 5 ===
Funkiest Halloween night yet on CoH.. complete with snapping and grooving vampyrs and werewolves and one-gloved bosses / AVs.. That guy that everyone is wondering about in the nice group pic is MJ himself hiding beneath one of his noses.

Exciting isn't it.

You know, I hope there are lvl 50 ones running around. I'm tired of not getting any high level mutant SO enhancements. If i had 5 influ for ever magic/nat/tech/sci....

NoNicknameForMe · 10-13-2004 10:38 PM

How has this gone on without so much as one Lewis Carol or Matrix reference

Darkdrium · 10-13-2004 10:40 PM

only 5C aren't mutant, but Nat/Sci/Mag/Tech (Human, Vamp,Werewolf, and Robot respectively) unless I'm mistaken, that is all but mutant. Or are the higher level Human types considered mutants for some unorthodox reason?
