So Frankie said that there are easter eggs in the new maps. I assumed there would be more radio transmissions like previous maps but apparently not. After searching the maps I found no radios, or any easter egg. Did I miss something? Did anyone find anything? Or were the easter eggs he was talking about simply the fact that we got to see a visual representation of some locations we have come to know from the novel?

Online Gaming's pretty much like a zombie movie. There are a lot of mindless idiots roaming around but you find some survivors on the way.

What if we might expect some infos on Red and Blue team on highlands and condemned?

That crashed pelican on highlands is the one Red team rode on.I heard on wayponit forums that there is a radio on that pelican,i think we might hear some Red team voices.

Maybe we might see some thing about blue team on condemned like radios about them...or James floating in space .

Myself and about 200 other lucky people got a code from 343 for an early release.

There is no radio in the Pelican, or anywhere else on either map as far as I can tell.

Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains.

If only 200 people got it from 343 you're going to have to wait until more people get it if you want someone with the map packs to post in this thread.

What I'm saying is, with the small amount of people with the map pack the chances of them seeing this is low. In addition, if you want more help looking for Easter Eggs then you would want more people. Finding a good amount of players with the map pack on this specific forum won't be easy until more people get it.

But good luck! I love Easter Eggs in multiplayer maps. Once I get the maps I'll be sure to help.

Well, if you think about the backstory behind the maps, it would only make sense for there to be easter eggs. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure all three of the maps are places featured in the book The Fall of Reach. i.e. Highlands: place where the SII's (including Masterchief) were trained, Condemned: place where 2 of the three remaining Spartans died protecting the location of Earth, Unearthed: titanium mine over CASTLE Base. These are some pretty important locations so hopefully the developers left a few nods to the book in there somewhere.

OK, so Highlands has no radios as we have seen in previous maps. However, the cockpit of the pelican has a scrambled radio transmission playing. I have not had time to record and/or manipulate or analyse the audio but at least now we know there are easter eggs.

I think you got 1/3 right there.

I think Condemned is Gamma Station from what I've heard, in orbit around Reach, not Earth.
Also, Reach was a massive titanium jackpot. Since I haven't seen or heard much about Unearthed, I can't say too much, but I doubt it's on Mount Menachite. It could be anywhere else on the planet.

I might add, that you still put 2/3 references for TFo (even if it was "wrong", it's still mentioned in the book), and if that Titanium Mine is the one- that I can't remember too clearly- that the Spartans trained in at one point, that'd get a 3/3 for TFoR references.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

343 said Condemned is on Gamma Station.

That's probably why I've been hearing it.
Thanks.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Wait, did you enter a contest to get that code? Because I wanted to try it cause I got no micrsoft points.

Signatures are for squares.

I'm trying to listen to the radio chatter from the pelican, but it's near impossible. I'm really interested to know what they're saying. If someone can record it that would be great. It just sounds like a lot of static to me. It's hard to hear over the water and the BBBBBBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR from the cruiser glassing the planet.

Yeah. I'm trying to think of ways to either record it or at least get the background audio out.
