There are some twitter posts today with numbers that I have been trying to work out because they don't really make sense. I'll list them below along with what I find questionable about them.

Tweet 1
Did you know? During the Live Action Trailer 823 real bullets were fired during filming!

Reason I question it:
For film and production blanks are used instead of real bullets, both for safety reasons and they film better. Plus some of the gunfire in that video is at an upward angle which if real bullets were used would likely go over any backstop they were using and potentially come down in a populated area. I don't think that they would be that irresponsible.

Did you know? During the Live Action trailer we had 24.5 beards on set?

Reason I question it:
What exactly is a half beard? :P Second off unless they are limiting this to cast only I have a hard time believing a number this low. I have done Tech Theater for both video and stage performances and believe me a lot of the crew sports facial hair. (you try shaving after being out late on the last shoot and having to get up at some ungodly hour the next morning... trust me the extra 5 mins of sleep trumps being clean shaven after a while).

Did you know? 478 cups of coffee were drunk during the live action trailer filming!

Reason I question it:
I can't see them paying someone to count how many cups of coffee were drunk, they have better things to spend money on. I also can't imagine coffee being the only liquid on the set (they should have had water available at least) meaning they could not simply count the number of styrofoam cups used.

I suspect it has something to do with the numbers in each post but haven't come up with anything yet. I am hoping that by bringing it to the community here and getting more eyes on it something will jump out at someone.

yeah we havent come up with anything from it yet

What exactly is a half beard?

A half bear is facial hair that is to long to be stumble but to short to be called a full beard. You see a ton more of them then you know until you know what you are looking for.


As for the coffee. The caterer most likely knew how many cups they brought and kept count so they know what their supplies look like and how much to go buy to re stock.

Not sure why they would use real bullets if the fake look better on set. I just know military blanks look like crap when firing vs the real thing. But movie blanks and military blanks are made for two different things.

what we need is some of the better programmers to take a look at it and see what they think, never know what they could have hid in there. Anyway, gonna check a couple of more things then i'm gonna hit the bed myself. Tomorrow's the big day!!!

So, the game releases in less than 60 days and there are still 93 codes to release.

Someone better get cracking on releasing the codes in a more visible manner instead of BASE64 encoding, then burying them in a 3d layer of an image, which is linked to from an ad on German site which is only visible when looking at the source code of a Spanish Defiance fan site.

Jus' sayin'

Lance had this to say about the amount of codes there are, so there isnt JUST 120 which means there's more than 93 out there...

Indeed - there are more codes out there than just one. Also bear in mind that we have roughly 2 months until we launch and we have over 150 codes in total to release.

Just blows my mine with how many will be out there...I wish he would also tell us how many are out there right now.

Certain scenes may have called for the use of belt-fed weapons, which would be harder to hide the fact that they were using blanks if people were actually looking.

Or they may have wanted the appearance of tracer rounds without having to digitally add in the effect.

we all wish he'd just come out and say the number of codes that are currently available but, it's highly unlikely that he will...unfortunately! It makes you wonder though, do you get more things unlocked if you type in more than 120 valid codes...:-) I sure as hell hope so, given how hard these things are to find! Especially when people are finding them inside the coding of the websites. Not everyone is knowledgable about programing to find the codes.... I know i'm not so, i'm just grateful that there is this forum thread with a pool of knowledge and insight!

Back on the code topic,

Everyone got there night off and drink ready for the hunt of lets hope more then one code?

Yeah man, I am willing, ready, got my ice tea out in a couple cups and ready to start the hunt!
