Subject: Halo 3: ODST "Desperate Measures" ViDoc Easter Eggs.

There have been Easter Eggs in the trailer for Halo 3: ODST, everyone knows that, so there will most likely be Easter Eggs in the "Desperate Measures" ViDoc, right?
Basically I think that it would be pretty sweet to see what "treats" our beloved Bungie workers have left us avid and happy Halo lovers. Right? There will be many Easter Eggs and some that gare to do with the actual books, like one of the Easter Eggs that I noticed, at 02:14 of the ViDoc at the top right hand corner, there is a sign which says J and then underneath it says Jotun, anyone remember them? They were the farming machines used on Harvest. The ones Mack controlled? If you look throughout the video, you should see other corporations which I can't make out.
Another I just found was that at 02:28, there is at the bottom right hand side there is anformation I can't read the first line but underneath it says:
"Now Tell me yours."
IT is where you see the Rookies drop pod crash into the city walls and such. Then at 02:30, there is a half frame interference with the camera, which probably means nothing but it says at the middle, left that there is a message but I don't know what it says underneath. And then the "Now tell me yours" dissapears.
At 02:33, when the ODST stands up and goes to kill the grunts it says on the left wall:
"Twilight of man"
I would be very appreciative if anyone could shed some light on this.
*POSSIBLE SPOILER!* At 01:35, at the back of the 3 men there is Romeo, clutching his chest, does he maybe get hurt?
At 01:30, there are many different shells and bullets of different cal's. There is also what seems to be a shell of a Grenade Launcher?
Also at 02:14, at the back is a picture of a Lion.
Throughout the video there are many strange words like Tanaga, Tayari, Kazingo, or Lumumba. Any references?
*EDIT* Thanks to Darth Kooky for giving the following legit info. The different names I found are from the different sections of New Mombassa, these are also the camera's in the section of which the superintendent uses to view whatever the Rookie and his squad are doing. The names and more are as follows:

Tayari Plaza
Uplift Reserve
Kizingo Boulevard
NMPD Headquarters
Kikowani Station
ONI Alpha Site

As for Dare, check the gameplay trailer at 1:05/1:06 for some footage of Dare in the Campaign.
All Credit of this find is to Darth Kooky and also SR20 for explaining this and helping find more, he explained about the camera's etc. (If anyone else finds anything, with their permission I will give credit and mention their find where appropriate in this thread.


Also there is a different waypoint possibly as when Mickey is piloting the Banshee there is the face of the superintendant. Possibilities are endless when it comes to Halo.

Thankyou Bungie for what is seeming to and probably will be a fantastic game! And if anyone else has any info I wished to know about, and information, and any other Easter Eggs or such, please tell me on the forum, thankyou.

Also one last thing before I sign off, you don't see much of Dare, I'm hoping you can play her. But it's wierd how you don't see her much.

Those strange words are the different sections of New Mombasa.

Like Manhattan is to New York City.

Oh right I get it, so the different places are areas, that'd also explain how the superintedant sees it all, those are the places and when the superintendent sees it, it is the camera in that section. Thankyou,

Yes it is the red one, it is also seen on the clip when Buck is talking about the suppressed handgun. It is on the Rookie I think it is, when he is shooting the Brute with it, it's on his side.


Thankyou, if you want I'll edit it into the thing I wrote, I forgot about it. I will give credit to you for pointing it out too. With your permission, I will.

Yeah, I think Mickey and Dutch are in it. Probably to get evacuated, they are at the New Mombassa Police Department heli, well Pelican pad after all. Buck probably coudn't find the Rookie, so he kept trying his comm link to get him through so he could be picked up for evac and I guess they would get to him and get him the hell out of there.

Also did you notice that when Buck talks about Romeo, and his aim, you see Romeo salute him, so I guess, Buck tries to either meet up with Romeo to get to the Pelican pad, or they stumble accross eachother, when Buck get's bumped, and Romeo saves the day. Romeo is outside the PD, after that I guess you fight your way up to the top of the PD and get to the Pelican Pad.

If you want, with your permission I will be sure to add that in and give credit to you, ONLY with your permission, I will add it in and give credit to you for pointing it out.

If you do not wish for this then simply say no thankyou, or vice versa.
