Loading Screen Easter Egg from Halo 3
Lord Zedd found a new easter egg in Halo 3 - he found it in the code, but it's repeatable by anyone who wants to try it. (I just did.) If you load up Halo 3 when your Xbox is set to December 25 (you'll have to be disconnected from Xbox Live if you don't want to wait 6 months), start up a new campaign mission, and then hold in both thumbsticks, you'll see the building of the Halo ring from a further viewpoint. (You can jump back and forth during the loading, and the zoom will track you.) There might even be more to this - but I'm not positive. The first time I tried this, the loading took a while... and it SEEMED I could read some text on the outside of the Halo as it built itself. (I didn't notice this until it was almost finished.) Repeated attempts were unsuccessful, because the loading time was much shorter after the first one, and any text that was created was blurred by the creation process. (It's even possible I was imagining things.) Either way, cool find, and amazing it remained a mystery for 7 years! Thanks, gamerguy2002. Update: Lord Zedd took the info above and loaded the animation from disc (as I did, that first run-through), which slowed it down enough to read the "Happy Birthday, Lauren!" written on the outside of the Halo. That's the REAL Easter Egg! Very cool. (Louis Wu 18:23:55 UTC)
