ArmA 2 site hacked

[archer-brad 10]

Hang on guys... Don't mean to ruin the fun because well, I'm enjoying this too, but how do we know this is bis? I mean arma is a popular game, a lot of people have done the campaign, how do we know that this ain't some fat guy in his mums house, who knew it would get this kind of response? Its just I don't want us all worked up then peeved when it was nothing, I'm praying that this isn't the case

Dont say such ugly things :D :k:

Next hack is on ANN Site....sure...

"The security breach was eliminated, but as Jan Nohatý, an electronic security specialist, said: 'They (hackers) are always one step ahead of us. I do not believe they will hack us in the next 42 hours again as we strengthened our security measures significantly. Our affiliated websites, forums and fan pages however should be aware as they could be connected with our business activity and therefore face certain level of risk.'"

There is a news article about it on AAN providing some hints. It doesn't get any more legit than that.

^this

And also, several BIS employees already followed this thread closely...don't you think they would have informed us if it really wasn't their "work"?

I mean, they wouldn't have let us hunting ghosts for no reason.

Would be funny if some stragglers showed up sporadically zigzagging thru the Czech countryside with compass in hand tommorow.

lol maybe there just doing it to see how gullible we are

[defwen 12]

Maybe it has something to do with E3 Expo. Bohemia Interactive is already on list.

Just idea. :)

Protect the hole!!!

I see an international incident in the making.....

+1....bloody BookFace

I also destroyed the house (outside of the campaign though) and couldn't seem to find anything. Also I couldn't see this Kolgujev tree?

Looks like BIS started an ARG here. So I am pretty sure that they really buried something at that location. Probably more riddles that evolve the story. But I am clueless what product this will introduce.

"Persian Black Hat Boys" wouldn't be Iran-based, as reported so something is amiss. Generally, people with Iranian origins who are diaspora describe themselves as "Persian" to distance themselves from the current Islamic Republic. If they do indeed exist, they are more likely to live in California.

Another thing with the number 42...

It is " Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything " in the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, and that was hinted to also in the TOH forum with the WIP picture of the whale falling to the ground.

www.arma2.com's background has defiantly changed...I see something that looks like DKZ on the bottom right corner. Otherwise nothing else yet.

Fixed the link, someone rip the background out and see if it's been re-sized to fit the aspect res. :cc:

Edit: Smooth going, Einherjer.

A rising Star over the mountains, well, at least it's not a pentagram. Oh, and there's an eagle. :cc: A dawn of a new day, this is most certainly Krasnostav, looking due SW. Someone checkout the green building in the foreground. :D

Not really. There's cultural tension in Iran on that point: whether national identity is being based on Persian ethnicity and historical civilization, or Shia Islam.

I'm sure this isn't the case, but Black Hat is a rough translation of the demonym Karakalpak, a Turkish minority ethnic group in Uzbekistan related to the Kazakhs.

Is that billboard the next bit of the ARG?

"Elect CHDKZ" is what's written in Russian. I'm certain that the script following underneath reads "Vote Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star (CHDKZ)" but I don't know Czech.

Also, maturin, black hats are malicious hackers (opposed to white hats which aren't)

Some time i just think that you guys have drank too much coffee.:p

[nkenny 1057]

Perhaps its Summer Chernarus with a new mini-campaign and Arma2 assets updated to OA standard?

-k

[WackyIraqi 2]

Maybe Dwarden has given us Nvidia PhysX, like VBS :inlove:

[maddogx 13]

This is pointing ever more clearly to a sequel campaign for Harvest Red. Nice. :)

I'm hoping for something like the OFP:Resistance campaign, translated to Chernarus.

[UnuldorCZ 10]

damn, now im losing the reason why I should go see the place which was on the first 'Hack' :( ... i dont get the connection between the two hints :(

[ffur2007slx2_5 11]

Seems that the next campaign will return woodland.

[Alwarren 2767]

As soon as I get back to my computer, I am going to try it myself, but has anybody checked this screenshot against in-game Krastnostav to see if there is anything different? Like a new house or something of that kind, or one that is missing?

IIRC this is somewhere near the church at the east end of town.

That was the doctor's house in harvest red wasn't it?

[roberthammer 582]

Guys don't expect something big - it will be something "small" , not dx10 or new physics

Maybe Dwarden has given us Nvidia PhysX, like VBS :inlove:

:rolleyes:

It will be campaign then :p
