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

[/quote] I figure all the loading screens are the same, I doubt it'd be a specific mission. But yeah, pretty much 364 days, as JonnyOThan confirmed it isn't the two in the credits.

What is Adrian's GT? I wanna see if we can ask him if his egg is the same one that was mentioned for a specific date, because i havent seen anyone actually CONFIRM their connection

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CH3LS3A L3G3ND I was thinking that too.As in the halo ring loading screen after a mission right?[/quote] Yep, that's the one. We just need a date.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jew man man [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CH3LS3A L3G3ND If it was for his wife.It probably is her birthday or valentines day or anniversary.[/quote] It would be easier if it was Valentines Day. Also, updated the OP with the new news. The only things we know so far for definite is; - Happens on a specific day - Happens in a loading screen If we can figure out the date for definite, that would narrow down the search, by a lot. I figure the only genuine "loading screen" is when you complete a mission without scoring on, and it's loading the next one. The rest of the loading is done in lobby. Therefore, it must be in Campaign. If that is the case, is it level specific? Or is it only activated in the loading screen? If it is activated in the loading screen, then it's likely a button combination, I guess.[/quote] I was thinking that too.As in the halo ring loading screen after a mission right?

If it was for his wife.It probably is her birthday or valentines day or anniversary. The guy's name is adrian right? Because the two dates after the credits one said "I love you sweatpea" by tim. I was onto something there. [Edited on 04.14.2012 6:33 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Your local moron [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Your local moron This is [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9935po8yOCc]fake, right?[/url][/quote][/quote] That is from the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NZodGQ0G90]Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer[/url]. It has nothing to do with the in-game loading screen. Edit: Also, I'm wondering, what is the exact definiton of the "loading screen" in this game? Is it the end of a mission, while it's loading the next one? [Edited on 04.14.2012 5:51 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HDhacker Showing my wife the Easter egg I put in the halo 3 loading screen for her - the one that nobody has found yet. Adrian Perez i would like to say i think i have found it, i'm not sure if i am looking at the right screen, but it's worth a shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEiP4gDfLEk In the video at the :20 second mark, look at the top left of the screen. there is a faint image of a woman in the flash. it's much easier to see on the xbox.[/quote]I don't see anything, are you sure you aren't seeing things? It is supposed to be a message and only appear on a certain day anyway.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mcreamer6 Maybe this migth be it: [quote]Showing my wife the Easter egg I put in the halo 3 loading screen for her - the one that nobody has found yet. Adrian Perez[/quote] found in mail sack 13[/quote] Yeah, we figure that must be it. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xNevetSteven I'm beginning to think that if we all just sent them messages pertaining to this easter egg, they'll give us more hints. If a good 20 people make an e-mail into the Mailsack, then they will definitely acknowledge it. So let's do it! [/quote] They don't seem that willing to give hints that are too obvious. I PM'd JonnyOThan and the only thing he said was it wasn't the two dates that Bungie fan no7 posted that are from the end credits.

So, how do we find his anniversary? It doesn't say [url=http://www.bungie.net/Inside/MeetTheTeam.aspx?Person=perez]here[/url], or [url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Adrian_Perez]here[/url] or even [url=http://www.linkedin.com/pub/adrian-perez/1/bb9/453]here[/url].

I'm starting to lose faith that we will ever find it... :(

Here's my theory, on Adrian Perez's anniversary (whatever day that is), you put in a certain button combo during the loading screen and a message appears that is written to his wife.

Bah, I am willing to bet that this Easter Egg is much like the "Ling-Ling" Halo 2 Easter Egg on Zanzibar. I'm a little disappointed that no one has cracked any bit of the code. Then again, I suppose it'd be fairly difficult to pick out something so discrete.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Lobster Fish 2 It is from a programmer to a loved one. Probably an anniversary of some sorts and it's personal, why keep trying at the near impossible?[/quote]
