My buddy came across some animations that were not used in the Halo 2 game but were still on the game disk. These animations were showing that the developers might have been trying to put sprinting into Halo 2 characters.. when finding this it was also found that the game developers might of gotten either bored or mad that could not get the characters with all weapons to look correct, so when the smg was used in the "sprint" animation it was not a sprint but the character putting both middle fingers up.. now is this a bored game developer or an Easter Egg?

That was great, assuming you did not mod it yourself. I also assume it's true or you would not have posted this at Bungie. I want to put this Bungie link on highimpacthalo.org, if you don't mind. Do you mind PM's as to the nature of the files on this?

I was not the one that found it, my friend did so honestly I could care less. When people talked to it on youtube he said more about it and what not.. but it does not bother me if you post it on what ever. I just wanted to know the reason for the animation..

I lol'd at the SMG "sprint", they probably were like: "oh, what the heck?! Let's do this :D"

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

Oh, how I wish I had that SMG animation for players who enjoyed super-bouncing and then sniping. A little gesture like that would certainly throw off their aim at least a little bit ;-)

Those animations seem like nothing more than scrapped ideas that were originally planned to be added, just like the Mongoose. Obviously it's different, seeing as the Mongoose is completely out of the game, but it fits the same sort of basic category. The only one that seems like it could be an Easter Egg is the SMG animation. I could see that being usable in the Campaign, but I doubt that's something that would have shown up in XBL Multiplayer. I could be wrong, but we might not ever know.
