Yeah that would totally crack the code and give us the definitive date we yearn for...

Perhaps we should also try and decipher the date for the originally planned PS2 that was suppose to be just a graphical overhaul and change in P2P to F2P..

Proof that conspiracy theories are not just limited to 9/11, Killing Bin Laden, and the Moon Landing.

You forgot about the 2nd Shooter/Grassy Knoll

But nice find to the OP!... have much time on your hands?

From the large picture I would say it could be 1207, 1227 or 1237... The 2011 though does make it interesting. It does seem to be possible that it's a date they intended for us to find... And having beta start at 27 December does not seem like a bad idea overall...

The zeroes are strike through zeroes. They look like 2's because of how grainy the image is. If you need a better look, for chrome at least hit ctrl and + to zoom in for your browser.

It could be a special date they're planning something big (they did say the game is further along than the teaser led us to believe,) or it could just be a random number and we're reading a lot into it because we're desperate to have more info thrown our way. Info dissection periods seem to be roughly 3 days to a week before watchers froth at the mouth and go mad from info withdrawal.

I recall reading we'll have a weapons list "soon" somewhere but for the life of me can't remember where.

Did this and I'm now totally convinced they're strike through Zeroes. So the date is 12 07 2011. That is basically a date right there, no doubt about it.

That's funny, when I look at it with Chrome and CTRL+ it looks like UI-1227-7211.

I'd caution everyone not to read too much into this, but it's hilarious when people prophecy shit and then when it doesn't come true they get all aggro butthurt about it and swear that they've been duped.

The world is supposed to end in 2012.
My driver's license expires in 2012.

Coincidence?

This thread is pretty ridiculous through. Do you actually think that they would texture in such a specific date, with the intention of it being an easter egg to some sort of release/beta date? Seems like a waste of resources to me.

Aren't all easter eggs?

I get what you're all saying and it makes a lot of sense. Someone needs to tell T-Ray that we all expect higher resolution textures in the game. Right now they're not high enough.

Also if you're curious why people are confused I ran it through some filters and it's really difficult to tell the numbers because it's ambiguous with the pixel combinations. I'm not even sure what font that is.

U1-1207-2011 would be my guess also though. Putting slashes through the zeroes is fun.

Blown up 10x, de-satuarted and inverted

Looks like 1237-7811

To add, as long as you're skinning in any form of number onto something, you might as well have some fun with it! Even if something does happen on 12-07-2011, it's just a serial number after that date.

heh. I applied certain filters and thresholds and noticed that also. Thought maybe I was doing something wrong.

Oh and... something I'm sure y'all have already seen but it bears mentioning for this topic: http://www.planetside-universe.com/f...ad.php?t=36887
