Adam91 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 The hunt for a specific Easter Egg in Halo 3 began in 2012 when a bungie.net user that goes by the name of "Its A Mirage" asked a question for Bungie's mail sack. The user asked a question to the participating employees of the mail sack regarding Easter Eggs. One of the employees, Jon Cable, replied to the question confirming there are undiscovered Easter Eggs still out there. "Its A Mirage - 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. Jon Cable" After seeing that response members from the Bungie/Halo community tried to find the Easter Egg but had no luck tracking it down. In a later mail sack (no link available) another bungie.net user asked a question for the Q&A. "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. Adrian Perez" This time there was a hint to where players may find it, on the loading screen in Halo 3 on a specific date. For two years nobody had found until yesterday when a video was uploaded to Youtube by user "Lord Zedd" The date when the Easter Egg would appear is December 25th and on the Halo ring in the loading screen had a message along the side of it saying "Happy Birthday Lauren!", Lauren is Adrian Perez's wife. Lord Zedd was able to find it by changing the date while offline on his Xbox to the required date. So there you have it, the hunt for famous Halo 3 loading screen Easter Egg is now over and can now be added to the long list of Halo 3's discovered Easter Eggs and Halo overall. Leave your thoughts on this discovery below. This post has been promoted to an article 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIWBC Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Wow, this is an amazing and really well hidden easter egg haha . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrhuntington Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Great find, but I was expecting a lot more. How did no one find this on Christmas day 2007? You know this game was unwrapped by a lot of people, and I am pretty sure someone jumped into campaign and saw this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo6 Follower Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 According to Kotaku, the Easter Egg is only triggered by "Seems if you click both thumbsticks while on the loading screen on December 25, the view pans out. And if you slow it down, you can clearly see a birthday message for Perez's wife Lauren." Hence why rrhuntington is a tad bit confused, i guess no one on 25 Decemver 2007 held down both thumbsticks. Anyway, fantastic post Adam! (As always). Keep the news coming.

rrhuntington Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Still, that's not that complicated. I mean someone MUST have done that. Maybe they didn't see it but there is no way, out of all the copies sold... Cmon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buns Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Thank you so much Adam for giving proper credit to Lord Zedd! I was really worried when I saw this that you were using Teambeyond as a source. They only gave credit to Lord Zedd in their article and not on their YT Video.
