ArmA 2 site hacked

[aidas2 10]

It all leads up to one big mystery. The Sub, Sbs guy, map, this. I think we're going to get either one heck of a massive awesome update that adds new campaign and some nice engine updates. Or a new Standalone expansion like Arrowhead was or maybe a new game.

if by bullet you refer to the physics engine, then not really no

Destructibles + ENHANCED PHYSICS?....or PHYSX?...HAVOK?...

I dont know about new game, we dont even know why china would turn "evil"

[KEVINMGXP 20]

What if a few of those things represents the new maps? Some of them looks kinda like a map not all of them but sure a few are ...

Kind regards

[Sergeantshizzle 10]

Destructibles + ENHANCED PHYSICS?....or PHYSX?...HAVOK?...

Or Euphoria? That would be freakin' amazing to have Euphoria in an ArmA game.

But seriously let's stop talking about physics, we may end up hyping it up only to find there was a different meaning.

[4 IN 1 0]

RECAP: for all those uninterested in 280 pages of reading

What we know/think

China will be featured as as conquering force

HMS Astute may be involved

Naval insertions of spec ops teams may be present

Possible New bullet physics or destructible environment

what we have

Wierd texts

strange arbabic emails, lil bit freaky to get me thinks

Wrong, we still don't know what China will play its part

[WackyIraqi 2]

Destructibles + ENHANCED PHYSICS?....or PHYSX?...HAVOK?...

Apparently Dwarden has a thing for Bullet Physics. But VBS2 currently has an implementation of PhysX

[KEVINMGXP 20]

Plenty of reason where you can hold a story on, not saying that china would turn evil maybe they are the ones that safes the day this time against maybe a Persian kinda army?

I think we have a lot of possibilities there where we can go from :D

[maddogx 13]

I think it would be quite thoughtless on BI's part to give us an animation of a ball smashing through a wall - the staple of physics demonstrations - only to have it mean something totally different. They know what they're doing, and they must know what such an animation would imply to us.

I'm optimistic that we will be seeing a new physics engine in whatever product they're planning to release.

[Jezza5555 10]

That animation could mean something other than physics, the ball smashing a wall could be a statement of intent.

[roberthammer 582]

btw that code animation reminded me this

[monotone 3]

SD stands for China in CIA crypto which was in the map of first hack.

[PuFu 4600]

i doubt it is either physX (adding this will allow only nvidia owners to use it) or Havok or anything alike, even less euphoria or other commercial products. If this is indeed about physics as it seems atm, then i am 99% sure it is about bullet.

but as someone else said, it could be a masked statement of intent (unlikely though)

[archer-brad 10]

Wrong, we still don't know what China will play its part

Its just that, well we have an invasion map of europe, Russia seems to have little involvement and I doubt theres a country in that region capable of taking on the whole of europe, other than China, and the pictures/clues have some chinese characters. :o

[das attorney 858]

Maybe BIS gave PR access to the BAF units in return for adding their work on destuctible walls etc into the Arma 2 main code.

[Jezza5555 10]

How about the great wall of china :)

[InfiniteRequiem 10]

Just a quick thought, dont know if you guys have already checked this but there might be something to find on the domain registration.

Maybe bodies will have physics now.

Wrong. PhysX works on the CPU as well (like every other physics simulation engine has in the past)

[archer-brad 10]

how long is this "game" going to last? surely they have to release something officially soon

[maddogx 13]

Maybe bodies will have physics now.

They already do. They're just total shit. :p

[dalia 13]

maybe it s a trap, because you found very fast this time.....

[archer-brad 10]

Maybe bodies will have physics now.

they do, when you shoot a guy whos lieing down he'll stand up then fall over, they could improve that me thinks

[glowbal 13]

Here's a print screen I made of the original email I received:

Anyone know what the arabic text in the email means? 'we are watching you.'?
