We can do a "trick" in the textures: add a black shadow on the mirrow like a siluete of a man and thatīs all. 
EDIT: if you can add a texture in bik we can add a small movement representing the movement of the soldier... the unique problem is the people will start to say "I found a bug, a guy reflects in the mirror, a ghost! D:"  But is a small detail, will add realism during a party.  |

The reflect but using a texture? will look false but is possible.  |

Isn't that called "Environment Maps"? That's activated with the envmap command in the RS file of the mesh and the alpha in the texture determins how much envmap to add.
Specular I believe just makes things "shiny". But not in a way like envmap where that uses textures to simulate reflection. (remember it's not real reflection that's going on. It's just a 6 sided cube with textures on it to simulate reflections. Think of it as a mini skybox for meshes.  )
By the way, has any one tried making a really big plane mesh and putting it a few inches under water and adding envmap to it? I bet it could look cool if done right.

| A shiny water? it will be a great idea! With a huge single object with a transparency of 70% with the shiny effect... wow! but I was wondered if it will affect the gameplay with lag or something like? (speciality in those maps where are islands) |

In Bunker Complex, I tried to put a transparent mesh below the water line to simulate the shadow of the sawmill. I couldn't get it to be visible from above the water line. The current shadow is a transparent mesh slightly above the water line.

| And if you use a tga picture representing the shadow, and you put it "floating" in the water? maybe is possible too. |

or why cant we just fix up the water textures to make it say somewhere from 70-85% transparent, where you can see the bottom of the lake,pond,ocean, and etc.
