Campaign Easter Egg?

In the bulletin today. 2/6/13.

BS Angel said there was some campaign easter eggs. Now im trying to search for the first one which is…

"Halo 4 Easter Egg Hint

Mission: Requiem

What is it?
An appreciation of architecture, and a return to nature.

Where is it?
It may be beautiful, but returning here is deadly. "

My best guess to this is, where you walk out and see the forerunner structure floating in the air and you have to get in the warthog.

But i think its when you look down at the bottom of the forerunner structure and you see waterfalls.

My guess is that it’s Niagara Falls???

Do you guys have any good guesses to what the easter egg on Mission Requiem could be?

Could be the Elite Zealots that appear with Beam Rifles on Legendary when you get to a certain point, and then turn back.

Or if you go further back from there, could be something even worse lol

Go find it. Lol

It’s in reference to the 8 Elite Zealot Snipers you can encounter on Legendary if you backtrack from the point you gained the Zealot’s camo module.

HOWEVER!

This easter egg is also glitched. Killing those 8 Zealots is meant to unlock a UNSC weapon cache (rockets & shotguns) at the start of the Cartographer room, but when you go from the loading zone where you killed the 8 Zealots back to the area with the camo zealot it also despawns those very same UNSC weapons you intended to unlock.

A guy called Zylon0217 was told by another guy, Lord Zedd, about the scripts that trigger this easter egg and made a video showing the 8 Zealots, and claimed he managed to ‘break’ the loadzone to get the UNSC weapons, but he never followed through with proof on it. Another guy, NoWise10, (who was responsible for finding the Shutdown skip) also mods in the campaign and SpOps to find easter eggs and hidden stuff, and to generally muck around. It’s through him that I found out about the glitched nature of the easter egg:

"Weapon caches spawn inside the building, but when you walk into the camo elite zone, you hit a loading zone that deletes them. "

This is where it supposed to spawn, along the first hallways once you are inside. http://i.imgur.com/qs21EVd.jpg

Okay, Im at the point where I think the guy is lying. He claims to have found a way to get the weapon caches to load on Requiem AND shutdown, yet he hasnt made a single video of one, YET hes done a video of other already known glitches and easter eggs in Halo 4, but he doesnt do the one no one has found or accomplished yet?
That, and i’ve done literally everything I could. I’ve modded myself past loading zone, if run through the same loading zones over and over for 10 minutes straight thinking it would “break” it, but nothing happens. No enemies even spawn on Shutdown, nor is their any loading zones besides once the gate closes, and thats scripted, you cant walk into it.
So i’m calling shenanigans on him.” (There’s also an easter egg on Shutdown that grants you gravity hammers, but it seems that the script that activates that might be glitched too.)

I mean, ammo boxes ARE supposed to spawn, but they dont do to how 343 loaded them, but the guy claimed he found out how to make them load correctly. Like 2 weeks ago he said he’d make a video of them. After I asked him again whens he doing it I found out he blocked me.

Look through pages 15 onwards if you want the full dialogue. But anyway, that easter egg is glitched, and as far as I know modders haven’t found any other easter egg triggers/scripts on Requiem besides this one.

Thanks for the long response.

Better answer than i had, i was just guessing. lol

You’re probably right with the UNSC weapons you get because i seen a couple other people mention this.

So in a nut shell 343 derped on the Easter egg.

From the bulletin I would have guessed that there is more to this… I did this exact thing and never saw the ammo either. If 343 could respond to us and tell us if indeed this WAS the egg and it’s glitched that would be great. Or did we indeed miss something else?

Like the mammoth secret buttons when you go further back in the level… is this indeed a glitch or are we missing something?

My guess is we’re missing something… since I would hope they didn’t miss ALL THE THREADS about the campaign eggs before… I’d say we got close… but didn’t find the eggs.

I would also like to say that if indeed these are glitched (which I have heard before) It seems pretty odd for 343 to miss that fact (since it’s been mentioned long ago) and then again they mention how we haven’t found the eggs?

Doesn’t seem right…

A lot of things in the game are glitchy so don’t be supriced if that’s the one.

The fact that they (yesterday) mentioned that we have “missed” these eggs even after months of people talking about these glitches makes me believe that we should have missed something. Otherwise it’s a HUGE ball drop to mention something that we as a community already said is glitched.

Maybe it’s me but ammo crates doesn’t equal architecture/ nature unless it is some sort of bridge that shoots trees out of it!
