put it on a map. the strange thing is, the arrows pointing to points that are not intressting at all.

and the map is streched really havy ;)

really strange think we need a hint further.

Nice map!

Can you make borders with 5 x's (xxxxx) more visible than those with 4?

It shows that there are 3 armies-groups, and maybe it means that there are 3 nations attacking?

BIS spy warning! :D

The sudden and unexpected defacement attack to the official webpage of a popular modern military game Arma 2, as previously reported on AAN, continues. Despite attempts by security and software experts which initially removed the digital attack by an Iranian hacking group calling themselves "p3R51An 8lacK Hat5 8oy5" (PBHB). There has been a further incident in which the arma2.com website was targeted and had its contents replaced by digital imagery and text by PBHB which seems to identify some kind of hidden cache in a real world location.

Following the information provided by the hackers, the community at Bohemia Interactive's forum has informed us that a cache was indeed found buried in the Czech Republic on the exact spot identified in the hacker’s photographs. The cache was collected by a local treasure hunter and we bring pictures of the cache and its content link. The uncovered map seems to be a sheet from a military manual identifying some kind of war maneuvers across parts of Europe. Early indications from experts we’ve consulted say that the map does indeed appear to be authentic.

Interesting.

Really far back in the thread someone said something points to June 8, 2012 as being important. As well someone said E3 was set to take place June 7-9. In the top right of the map it says:

SDREAM / Estimate #081206

Those numbers could point again to June 8, 2012 and E3. BIS might be planing to spill the beans then.

The map its self seem to be from a intel file from the CIA or an ally about some unknown attack plans made after the cold war ended. The thing is how did it get into the hand of a member of ChDKZ???

For those of you who think the map tells that the story will be an attack on those routes, stop and think for a second. The map as well as the sub might be showing something about the gameplay more than a story about WWIII. The sub seems to mean naval combat. The map could refer to a war between more equal factions (no more T34s v.s. M1A2 TUSKs). It could also refer to a shadowy plot linking the ChDKZ and happenings in Chernarus to "things" that came up in the PMC ending.

This sounds waaaay on the spot to me :D

Thanks for posting that.

I can't wait until I come home from work tonight and have to read through 500 more pages. Yeah!!!

Ok, as far as I can make out there are 4 lines containing 5 Xs (-XXXXX-).

1. In the English Channel

2. In the North Sea

3. In the Meditteraenian Sea

4. On the Russian Border

Which 3 Nations could be attacking....?

[froggyluv 2136]

Fingers crossed that this is the prelude to Arma3 -I'm old and don't wanna die before it comes out :p

Seems like too big a buildup for an expansion, yet if it is -what lengths would BI have to go thru for the next title? A small fire arms incursion by ragged software developers....?

If i read that correctly - AAN, which is a part of the game, hints to look for authentic military manual that this map originates from?

There are estimated 650 different US field manuals out there, here is the list:

Can anyone help me pin-point the ones that this map MIGHT come from?

A handful of Eastern dictatorships, recently de-stabilized by internal uprisings, are taken over by millitants and form a coalition with Persia with the PBHB. China fuels their expansionist ambitions into Europe with covert military aid, aiming to mop up Europe later once its divide and conquer stance leaves a battered Nato and weakened US forces.

Been watching the military channel too much.

Let it go already.

Whether or not he is a BIS employee doesn't affect the scavenger hunt either way, and unless he openly admits it, we'll probably never find out anyway. Speculation on that topic seems rather superfluous.

Actually i've got to agree with AstroMan, everything should be looked into. It's not that I don't believe he is genuine, it is nothing personal, it is just the nature of the game.

If I were to drive two hours each way to check it out i'd definately want a souvenir.

The english word for "folter" is torture. ;)

But I do agree, like I said before - him being a BIS employee or not is irrelevant.

Yeah its torture, i did not found the right word for it thanks :cool:

Send a mail to that guy saying that you have found that map and wants to know when the invasion begins. Then wait till cia go to your house and ask them what you want. :D

Again, it is only irrelevant if he is not an employee. If he were (and we have no way of knowing) then there could be hidden messages within material he has provided. I'm not saying that he is, but whether he is or isn't could very well be relevent to the arg, you wouldn't know - that's my point.

[-Paladin- 10]

OK so the map is showing plans of a invasion?

Who?

Ruskis taking Europe over? or "again" trying it.

China has a drastic shortage of cats and dogs?Needs food?

Iran? liberating there Muslim bothers?

Or we are playing refuges that trying to "invade" Europe to get job´s?

Vacation places For bis employees, and this "world will change" means no patches for a year or so?
