Undiscovered Halo 3 Easter Egg
In the "Bungie Mail Sack 9.0"
[quote]Its A Mirage asked the following question:
Are there any Easter eggs from your past games that surprised you at how quickly they were found or any that surprised you at how long they took to find?
Definitely the IWHBYD skull in H3. But you cheated. There is one Easter egg in Halo 3 that I don't think anyone has found - I stumbled across it in code a while back. It only happens on a specific day...so good luck.

This has really raised my curiosity. Does anyone have any ideas?
[url=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&cid=32054]Link to the Bungie Mail Sack 9.0[/url]. Text is just above the video of the Marty Easter Egg on Kikowani Station.
This may be *old* news, but I've only just found out about it.

This was in Mail Sack 13:
[quote]What is your proudest moment in your time at Bungie?
Showing my wife the Easter egg I put in the halo 3 loading screen for her - the one that nobody has found yet.

Update, again. In [url=http://www.bungie.net/News/Blog.aspx?mode=news#cid32088]Mail Sack 14[/url], this is what we got.

Xd00999 Can you give us any more hints on Easter eggs we have not found yet?
No. I cannot. And you, beloved community, must all stop asking. I am sorry. This revival of Easter egg hysteria is entirely my fault. In a previous Sack, I allowed the panel to tease you with mentions of Halo eggs that have yet to be found. You will never find them all. We cannot give you hints. If we did, those eggs would lose their magic. You simply must stop sending me private messages, and stop dropping these questions into the Sack. The strain of lugging around the extra weight of them just might break my back.[/quote]
Looks like no more information for us. We must do the rest of the work, ourselves.
Here is what we know, so far.
-Easter egg is on a specific day
-Easter egg happens in a loading screen.
Based on that information, it could happen any day of the year, in a loading screen.
But, what is a loading screen? Most of the Halo 3 loading is done in lobby..
I figure, it's when you complete a mission, without scoring on. You come to the screen with the Halo ring filling up. That is the only loading screen I can think of.
Activating the Easter egg, seems to be most likely a button combination. How else would you activate one during a loading screen?
What we need to figure out
-The day
-How to activate the egg

Google is your friend ... unless you want the secret, then it may be your enemy, stay away.

Oh wow, I'd never seen this before. I love the idea that there's still stuff in the game that's not been found yet. I really wanna know what these easter eggs are, yet at the same time I kind of want them to remain secret.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheSpiderChief If it's not meant to be found then what is the point of putting it in?[/quote] Agree 100% ... Either it exists or it doesn't. Games are not made for religious faith affirmations.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mythical Wolf Clearly it's an easter egg that isn't meant to be found, if it even exists.[/quote] If it's not meant to be found then what is the point of putting it in? All easter eggs are meant to be discovered.

Clearly it's an easter egg that isn't meant to be found, if it even exists.

How's our progress?

*sigh* :/ [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jew man man [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] shortD42 is aBK I wonder if this will ever be found. Date based events are hard to find let alone the fact that we have no idea what we are looking for or where specifically to look. [/quote] I hope it will, eventually.

good idea [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mikeylive98 maybe the initials on the tree change on a certain day.[/quote]

maybe the initials on the tree change on a certain day.

has anyone got any close up footage of the ark itself? i mean, thats like halo 3's symbol, there might be some important info...
-
have you tried march 3rd its the date on the memorial at the end of the game...could mean something.

What if the two dates in the end of the credits, there numbers, have a coorilation to this puzzle? I dont see any other reason for bungie to do something like this... Also, mabey Sweatpea is actually 19-23-5-1-16-5-1 Just a thought

If its a coding thing, why doesn't someone pop the disk into there desktop and take a look?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Killerboy JJ I know this could be a bit weird but the button code could be B-A-B-Y or something, or maybe one of the h2 button glitches? Ill be sure to set my xbox to 1/1 and try the missions mentioned above soon[/quote] Good idea. You don't need to do every mission. Just load up Arrival, skip the cutscene then do it in the loading screen.
-
I dont know if anyones tried this, but set your xbox to 7/7/07 at 7:07 pm or 7 pm or am and load all the maps and search and see what happens.
