Finally able to post! This has been so frustrating being unable to post here. Myself and my friend were doing this once we discovered it, and we figured out everything, bar the Titanfall solution, about 3 hours before anyone posted here. It was really interesting watching it unfold here, as we'd already entered the solutions to the DR3 and Ryse puzzles before the DR3 solution was even found on here.
The most annoying aspect of this entire ARG was the fact that the last puzzle which contradicted the terms and conditions of the competition and was essentially a chance based puzzle. I scrubbed frame by frame through the video, finding the letter N, only to find that the winners had found it by guessing the letter N.
One letter undermined the entire competition and got two people the biggest prizes.
While of course I'm happy with what I got, it absolutely sucks that even after admitting that he won via guessing the letter N the winner was rewarded. Yes, anyone could have done that, so
this is a criticism of the design of the final puzzle itself rather than a criticism of the winner. It clearly said in the terms and conditions that it was a 'skill based competition', wherein the entrees who completed the paths using skill would be rewarded. So it sucks that the last puzzle was a one in 24 chance.
One thing I am slightly confused about is how the prizes were assigned... They must have been random as opposed to first come, get the best prize. I definitely entered the solution to the Titanfall puzzle before the person on here who figured it out posted so idk what's going on there. First picture is the time that I saved the PSD I had combined to find the Titanfall solution, I entered the solution before saving the PSD. Second picture is a screenshot of the person who posted the solution to the Titanfall puzzle, accompanied by a third screenshot of the person who won the Titanfall XBO saying that they got the solution '2 minutes' before it was posted on GAF. Screenshots here:
Therefore if all these times are correct, the XBO must have been randomly assigned rather than given to the first person to enter the correct submission, as I entered mine around 7:15pm while they entered theirs around 7:45pm.
Anyway, hoping the other Titanfall prizes are good!
