lets talk exploration and mysteries

I’ve scrolled the main page down a bit but couldn’t find anything about this particular topic,
so I thought I open up a thread to discuss this. As 343i has mentioned in this and other interviews,
we’ll be able to explore and uncover lot of stuff. Now I am wondering, what exactly will we be able to find?
Some additional tidbits about the story, about the events between H5G and H:I?
Something gameplay related, like unique weapons or upgrades?
Or maybe even other stranded allies?
My wildest guess which came to mind thinking about this was that maybe
we’ll be able to find some kind of research facilities and “accidentally” release the flood.

What are your thoughts regarding the exploration of the ring?

I’m hoping for lore secrets but also the random kinda stuff that you’d find in the Bungie era games.

You thinking about easter eggs? Or something more specific like skulls?

Palace of Pain

Easter Eggs / Skulls / Data logs / Unique weapon caches / Silly AI encounters

But I’d also like neat little locations along with these things, sort of like Halo 3’s easter egg on the final level… That’s what I’d like.

All of the above

I imagine it will be similar to the audio logs from ODST. lore entries that reveal more of what happened before the events of Infinite, what’s going on behind the scenes with the banished or any remaining UNSC forces. that kind of stuff.
