ArmA 2 site hacked

[max power 21]

well the map found in CZ did say "reliability disputable"

On Nostradamus's documents, in the foot notes it says, "psychiatric care recommended".

Don't worry, zipper5 will help us find the hack, right? zipper?;)

BI devs are now watching this thread, so there must be something going on.

Has anyone checked the ToH site if it was hacked? Or perhaps a message on the BI or Arma2 Facebook or Twitters?

Hehe, nice one Myke. I guess you just raised your Rick Roll score by 300 :D

Anyway what do we have right now:

- map that shows invasion of Europe ("world will change") -> possible storyline

- hints pointing to Greek islands -> possible location/setting

- ball hitting the wall -> new feature: rag doll, dynamic destruction system, new physics

- map coordinates pointing to Iran and China -> possible factions

- hints to 1821 as time of setting

- 42 / 14 = 3 -> Arma 3?

- image with submarine outline -> possibly new naval units, ship warfare

An extract from the Nostradamus prophecies :

[VI.21] When those of the Northern Pole are united together in the East will be great fear and dread. A new man elected, supported by the great one who trembles, both Rhodes and Byzantium will be stained with Arab blood

Russia, who upto this point was either neutral or in the eastern alliance, probably after a change in its leadership, will somehow join US against the Eastern forces resulting in the weakening of the eastern position. A new commander of the joint allied forces (or a new President of USA) will take charge and the results will the the first defeat of the eastern forces in the Mediterranean and Turkey. This is probably the turning point of the war.

Deanosbeanos is a know developer and released similar world modification addons before. So no, its no hack. The tile "The world can change" was chosen simply because he wanted to relate to a topic many ArmA fans are interested in right now.

[maddogx 13]

could this be the hack?

Can you quote it, whatever it is? Can't access Armaholic right now.

I wonder if Nostradamus wrote 'US' just like that, or if he wrote it long form 'Les Etas-Unis d'Amerique' :rolleyes

could this be the hack?

No. Read some of the replies.

Bohemia Interactive Interview

Written by hoz

Following some of the recent weird posts you've seen on here from Bohemia Interactive and the buzz in the community and on Arma2.com... here is another part in the series...

Interviewer: So we are here with four developers from Bohemia Interactive. Are you allowed to talk about your upcoming project?

Barel: Even if we knew, we would not tell a journalist.

Interviewer: Anything that might tell us what we can expect from BI this year?

Tahlo: Really, we can't tell you anything, we would be fired!

Interviewer: Come on, this is a news outlet, why can't you at least hint something.

Roamer: Hey! You are trying to persuade us to tell something we simply can't!

Interviewer: That's my job as a journalist isn't it? Anyway, will you tell us something or not?

Exorcist: Help! This guy is really annoying! Why does our PR manager put us through this?

Interviewer: Easy guys, relax, this is just a funky interview, not a warzone!

Barel: Unless an annoying journalist doesn't want to change the topic!

Interviewer: So, I see. You don't like me. But if you don't tell me anything, that guy who will be fired is me! Who will feed my family then?!

Tahlo: Exorcist, please do you have some earplugs?

Interviewer: Really, I'm serious! Please, don't ignore me!

Exorcist: Son, this interview is over.

So ... what's going on here?

[maddogx 13]

Who the fuck are Barel, Tahlo, Roamer and Exorcist? :confused:

For a second I thought the last post said "Sion, this interview is over." Lol.

:m:

[maddogx 13]

Yup, search the users.

Could "barel tahlo roamer exorcist" be an anagram?

[king homer 1]

Yup, search the users.

Could "barel tahlo roamer exorcist" be an anagram?
