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][b]Posted by:[/b] giafra95 I know that's pretty stupid, but... As that user said, I tried to search adrianperez in the Halo 3 gamertags. You'll have 3 results...I checked all of them, and there's Adrianperez1 that played only 3 games of campaign, no ranked/customs/socials, and those were sierra 117 on easy, crow's nest on easy and tsavo's highway on easy. He played on 1/1/2011. He didn't do much kills/deaths, so maybe he was "running" to various loading screens. That's it, you can search adrianperez as I did.[/quote] 1/1/11 huh... First day of a new year. But we still need an idea for a button code...

This is amazing.

I bet its on the 117th day of the year.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] NoWise10 As for a hint, I was thinking= Find the developers gamertag. Look at his campaign history. Most employees dont often play the campaign, considering they had already spent 3 years testing and playing it. Test any of the dates you see, and use the shortcut on the mainmenu to load the mission, to get the loading bar of the Halo ring being built.[/quote] Anybody know the gamertag of this guy? We can check right now. However, it's possible he was playing offline in which case we'd never figure out which day. I think the video I linked to earlier was on to something. Something definitely happened during the loading screen, but it didn't reveal any easter eggs. We just need to figure out the date and figure out what the guy did in the video.

To end the debate on the date of the Easter egg, im 99.999% sure it only needs to be the correct DAY and MONTH on the Xbox. This is basing off the fact that every date easter egg in Halo 3 has been only day and month, AND that to get a certain year, you'd need to disconnect yourself from Xbox LIVE, and I highly doubt thats what the developer who made the easter egg did to show his wife.

No plutonium sounds more fun.

[/quote] There was an Easter egg that was discovered in Donkey Kong for the Atari 400. It was discovered 26 years after the release of the game. It was found by someone going through 25,000 lines of assembly code. It's possible people missed the coding for this Easter egg, especially if they don't know what they're looking for.

What if they meant the screen that comes up when you turn on the game, before you even get to the main menu?

we need to go deeper

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JiantJames [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] General Heed [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xNoBlex Ramen [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] General Heed And as for this new easter egg, perhaps it has something to do with this video? I found this video awhile ago but have never been able to reproduce that glitch, if it is a glitch at all. It seems the glitch happened during or right after the loading screen and spawned you in some kind of secret room that I've never see before anywhere in Halo 3. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btkSzWFCLlw[/url] I've spent years finding glitches and easter eggs in Halo 3 with my dedicated glitching clan, posting them to my youtube channel, but this new easter egg is definitely a new challenge for all of us. [/quote] Well, when asked if the easter egg would be in Matchmaking or Campaign, he said that we'd be surprised. That glitch happened after exiting the theater lobby... So it could very possibly something similar to that.[/quote] I came very close to reproducing that glitch. Though my method is not the same as the one that guy did in the video. As the game is starting up, rapidly tap A until you get to the main menu. If you were fast enough, you will be able to go into the Start New Game option which will begin to load the campaign with the campaign loading screen. It will be a super slow load like in that video. However in my case, I didn't spawn in some random room, I was on a black screen for a bit and the mission finally started. I'll keep investigating though. [/quote] Seems interesting. We should investigate the matter. Can someone ask him what was the date when the easter egg/glitch happened? [/quote] Whoever made that video isn't replying to Youtube comments anymore. We may be on our own here.

Only happens a certain day, showing his wife that certain Easter egg was a proud moment... an anniversary?
