Assassin's Creed 2

http://assassinscreed.us.ubi.com/assassins-creed-2/teaser/

Clicking on the Animus logo on the left brings a screen that just screams "SOLVE ME!!!"

And this is just strange:

looks interesting. According to the last part of the video, where you see the image of the circle, it wants us to look in game informer magazine on 4/16/09.

The letters are backwards. I can read backwards but some people might need a mirror to understand what it says.

Also, it is making a lot of references to Da Vinci who used to write backwards in his journal. The drawing of the man with the knife contraption looks a lot like something Da Vinci would draw. An then there is of course the Vitruvian Man.

EDIT: i just remembered that Project Abraham put its trailhead in Game Informer Magazine. Maybe it's the same company?

EDIT 2: That second link http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/emea/gamesites/assassinscreed/teaser/pdf/us/artifact_efbui.pdf wants us to print out the image and put it infront of a webcam to access the first file. I don't have a printer so can someone do this and let us know what happens?

I've also got it, but it's not recognizing the symbol...

eta: "efbui" shift -1 alphabet = "death"

eta2: the five tabs on the left =
death hero upgrade anatomy fly

eta3: I've also tried regular webcam, with the symbol flipped, rotated, and inverted (b/w), haven't seen anything... Confused

Bah, beaten to the punch. I hop online to look for game cheats, and wind up wishing I had a webcam in my pocket.

I printed the symbol off, and then by clicking on the Animus symbol above, under the M. Frag: EFBUI link it activates your webcam.

From there, hold the printed symbol up in front of the webcam - hold it very still.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It zeroes in on the symbol, and apparently it authorizes some sort of access to data. It then starts to show a few diagrams of the hidden knife the assassin uses in the first AC. I snagged some screen shots, so if anyone is interested let me know, and I'll post them.


==edit==
That seems to be about all that is available at this point. I'm guessing we have to wait for the 16th.

==edit2==
I take that back. It looks like a few others on the forums for AC2
, have figured out a bit more. For those without a webcam, someone made a few videos of the answers:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Fragment EFBUI - Part 1
Fragment IFSP - Part 2
Fragment VQHSBEF - Part 3


I don't think this is going to turn into anything ARGish - more just promotional. Which IMO is really too bad, I think this would make an awesome backdrop/setting for it.

Thanks Wulf! Not having a webcam is starting to become a major inconvenience.
