when you look on the screenshot here that was on of the ones posted on 05.10.04 http://www.bungie.net/Games/Halo2/Gallery.aspx?Gallery=Screen shots&page=4 you can see some japanese or chinese writing on the side of the battle rifle. i have not got a clue what it means so i assume it could possibly be an easter egg. Take a look and tell me what you think. i have not read about this anywhere else so i think i'm the first.

I dont know about that one, but if you look at the one where the elite is on the cliff looking down and holding a plasma sword, to the left there is a completely upside-down tree.

Hmm Monkey King that sounds extremly familiar i did a little research as to where i heard it, the only thing i could come up with so far (2 minutes). It seems to be that the only reference to the word monkey involves frankie, yea, ya know "Content Monkey" and on his profile it says that his first job was a "Geometry Monkey"

Some one please help me find out more!

Or maybe it's just because Bungie like monkies.

I'm more of a penguin person personally.

Maybe the monkie refrences will replace the hippo refrences of the first game.

K i just think i found something new!! K this guy said that the tree is up side down in the picture he said. So there was a rocket that blow up the ground which i think the tree was once standing up right and normal like the others. But there is like expolisions marks on the ground and it looks like the tree is now up in the air like if it got blown up and its like flying.

The monkey king was a character from the Chinese fable The Journey West. He was also the basis for the character of Goku from the ultra popular Dragon Ball anime series.

My first post was about the exact same thing, I even offered a zoomed-in picture of the writing.
Everybody said "Battle damage" until Shishka came along.

Maybe...Monkey King has something do with the Brutes. Or since we our considered as filthy primeapes to the covenant (which has do to with monkeys, for the not so bright ones), It is their referance to one of us, But Who? Or maybe... deep in the jungles of Africa, since the story takes place in Africa, Cortana gets captured by a giant Ape, a.k.a. Monkey King (or donkey kong) and you go on an Ape/monkey splattering journey, filled with flying fecies and clever, obivous traps, with trees to rescue her. Meanwhile Humanity is destroyed.
