Why is the third time lucky? Again, we don't know.

Well, I've tried three different passwords and it didn't work at the third time.

Guess the third time isn't that lucky.

FOCUS!

A recent photoshoot took on a clear focus; you can see it in our model's eyes.

Probably a hint to the password in there somewhere.

Is it just me, or is this reflection in the guy's sunglasses the same place where the PMC pictures were taken?

[Undeceived 392]

Which pictures do you mean?

[Pauldarrington 9]

What is that in the left lens of his glasses

[Alwarren 2767]

I meant this one http://www.bistudio.com/images/stories/blogs/developer/SUV_PMC.jpg but I think I'm wrong

I'm not sure the distance between the wooden part and the window seems much shorter on the glasses reflection.

[jakerod 254]

It looks like there is a person in the one reflection on the right side of his glasses. I can't tell though.

Yeah I am probably wrong with the idea, I just thought that after the link to that "enhance" video that someone posted they'd pull off some "reflection" trick on us ;)

[Undeceived 392]

There is something written in the reflection (right side glass)!... But I can't read it. Only part of the word... It contains a "s".

[Alwarren 2767]

I'm probably making a fool out of myself if I ask this, but who actually is the guy on the photo?

Right side for us? If so, I'm not sure it's a person it looks like it only has one leg and is a bit too "squary"

S or 5 then a G or 6 I think. The one after looks like a I or a T.

Am I seeing things?? :o

Can't anyone else see letters written in there???

Reflections seem to be a common theme in these photos.

Are BIS possibly integrating better, sharper (focused ;)) reflection simulation than the current, low-res environment map 'reflections' that the engine uses currently? Dynamically rendered perhaps...? - Could have implications for the render-to-texture feature everybody's been bleating about for the past months/year

The google earth thing doesn't really seem to relate to this hypothesis though. What I'd draw from that in the context of 'sharper focus' would possibly be the use of photography to render higher-res textures for environments, in addition to satellite images. The Helicopter photos possibly relating to aerial photography.

I was actually seeing letters in diagonal under this.

You probably shouldn't quote the image since quoting it itself is a against the rules and for another reason I already PMed the author about.

I can also see that it is potentially not a person in that reflection. I still think it could be someone standing with their legs close together but my eyesight sucks so I might be wrong. Where is this passworded file at?

[Undeceived 392]

(Thanks, Jakerod) :)

[Emualynk 10]

Simply rename the file to focus.rar or focus.zip.

Anyway, on the clipboard one of the character seems much more dark than the others, think that might lead somewhere?

[soul_assassin 1750]

render too texture perhaps? I still bet its something to do with that simcopter thing though. Maybe from now on you enter a choper in arma and simcopter opens.

I got no clue. And I thought people would be having problems solving riddles in Assassin's Creed. Joris-Jan van 't Land, het is niet leuk!* :crazy:

Tried that it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

renaming the file? Can you see the extension in your explorer? You need to make sure you can see the extension to be able to change it.

Oh btw, I googled third time lucky and arma and I stumbled upon this :

Maybe it is steam integration then.
