Btw the Phantom Initiate password was discovered. But the way it was found out wasn't as cool as the others

password: 24344241893

1. Grab the symbols from the map (the hexagrams, not the trigrams)
2. From jjju's barcode int, people mapped those to unicode values: 0x4dc0, 0x4dc0, 0x4dc1, 0x4dc2, 0x4dc4, 0x4dc7, 0x4dcc, 0x4dd4
3. People also mapped those to the fibonacci sequence (with the value those symbols have in chinese mythology or something): 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21. This gives us an order. Now it turns out you need to take them from largest to smallest, and I got this idea from the battle log console that references the 'max' function.
4. jjju's formula was pretty explicit showing we were looking for a polynomial, it was missing mostly which value to use as factor and where to start end.
5. Today's graph picture shows a function that 1) tends to -inf when evaluated at -inf and tends to inf when evaluated at inf. This tells us that the highest x power is odd. 2) It doesn't cross the origin. And when you look at the graph and evaluates what's the function value is at the origin, you get a value between 19000 and 20000. This is exactly the range of value of the unicode char. This also tells us that the polynomial has a x^0 term. We have 8 unicode values that map from x^0 to x^7
6. From a chat in game from another dev, we had 'X marks the spot' and 'the greek X', which people assumed was related to the console saying CHI = 7.25154120937236. So this gives us the point to evaluate at. The console also mentions the 'floor' function which tells us to ignore the decimal part of the result.

In the end :

f = 19924 * x^0 + 19916 * x^1 + 19911 * x^2 + 19908 * x^3 + 19906 * x^4 + 19905 * x^5 + 19904 * x^6 + 19904 * x^7

f(7.25154120937236) = 24344241893.00018

=> passcode = 24344241893

bf4 is not so much werf, its not like bf3 in that theres better gun balance and its not a m16a3 master race and assault isn't freaking powerful like no other. But if you can put up with all the lag and bugs, then go ahead and get bf4.

Woah now man Titanfall gets so boring really fast and then there is nothing different than CoD about it.

give it around another 4-8 hours.  

still having fun :^)

It's because you guys don't listen to Two Steps from Hell while playing. It works on BF too.

Wow your attention span must be leagues better than ours.

But who am I to talk, I still play Ghost Recon: Future Soldiers...
