“G.I. Joe: Retaliation” Viral: Cobra is Calling You to Join their Special Forces

Michael Lee, April 25, 2012April 25, 2012

It would sound really bad if I asked you if I gave you an exciting opportunity to join a terrorist organization, but considering this is for Cobra, I think I can make an exception. A viral campaign for G.I. Joe: Retaliation has launched in the form of a Cobra Special Forces recruitment program. Hit the jump to find out more.

After a short recruitment intro, the site asked if its okay to access your Facebook page – you will need to have one in order to play the game – and once you give your approval you will proceed to the next stage of the recruitment phase.
There are two stages of the Cobra recruitment.

First Cobra needs to measure your ability to memorize and store information. You will need to memorize a sequence of numbers and then recall those exact numbers in the same sequence in a timed test. Should you fail the test, you will be given a chance to retake the test. The sequence of numbers in the new test will not be the same as the previous test.

After you successfully pass the memorization test, you will move onto the spatial recognition test. Cobra needs to know how you would react to a the changes in a 3D environment, so they ask that you recognize and choose the image that best represents a cube. The catch is that the cube is spinning.

After passing these two tests Cobra will determine your rank. I tried this twice and could not get passed the mercenary rank, and have successfully passed each of the tests in under seven seconds. Makes me wonder if speed of the tester has any affect on the results. But if you are able to get a higher rank or complete the test with a faster time, then please leave your rank and time below.

    There are the following ranks (& their descriptions).

    MERCENARY:
    MERCENARY AND YOU PROVIDE RESULTS. BE DISCREET AND GET THE JOB DONE WELL.

    VIPER:
    CRUCIAL MEMBER OF THE BATTLE INFANTRY AND SUPPORT. VIPERS ARE THE FOOT SOLDIERS.

    SPECIALTY VIPERS:
    N ADVANCE VIPER, WHICH RANGE FROM EELS, TECHNO-VIPERS, TELE-VIPERS AND ADDITIONAL FIELD VIPERS. HIGHLY TRAINED IN THEIR RESPECTIVE SPECIALTY AND CALLED UPON WHEN NEEDED.

    BLUE SHIRTS:
    STEP ABOVE THE STANDARD COBRA. BLUE SHIRTS TEND TO BE HIGHLY INTELLIGENT AND ADEPT ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

    CRIMSON GUARD:
    PART OF THE COBRA SPECIAL FORCES, RESERVE UNIT. TOO VALUABLE FOR BATTLEFIELD, THIS IS THE HIGHEST ECHELON OF THE COBRA SPECIAL FORCES.

    I believe that you can increase rank by recruit more friends over facebook.

    Also if you want to look at the cube rotating, here it is:http://www.cobraspecialforces.com/swf/spatial_1.swf

    Michael, since you are using your referral link to the recruitment page, can you tell us if this has increased your rank as more people join?

    They’ve added another test before the first two and after doing that I went up to specialty viper.
    It also has a bar on the top right that shows users I referred and says refer 9 more users (I have 1) to go up a rank.
