Bungie mentioned an easter egg in the FAQ. Anyone know what it is?...the dialogue went like this:
Q
I spotted an Easter Egg in the trailer after I watched it a few times. How do you explain that?
A
The New Mombasa City Council had an incredibly efficient public works department until and even during the tragic and devastating Covenant invasion.

lol see the forums? it's been 2 days since the announcement...this has gotta be a record. Less than 2 days...

there's been a lot of "discoveries"...and "theories" good or not.

Could it also be the fallen road sign near the beginning?

no, because mombasa has nothing to do with grunt signs.

"Not really. They eat their wounded."
"Just like chiropractors!" Caboose - funny -blam!-

"If god is love, then you can call me cupid" Sarge.

Whispering marine - "you'll give away our position!"
sarge - "I'll do as i damn well please!" (kills grunt with sniper rifle)

Its the fallen sign that shows the picture of a red cross out over a grunt. Its an anti covenant war sign.

Well, let's think. What is a Public Works Department?

It's a department of a government (usually) that oversees trash collection, recycling, street cleaning and other various things.... Maybe they're talking about the trees being intact?

Who knows what they meant..?

The circle of light emanating from the middle of the artifact closely mimics the Marathon symbol, a tradition used frequently in the Halo universe. That is why Bungie said "fans".

It could be, but I don't know what the $^@() shaker looks like, but if that source is right, which it has been so far because it describes that structure in the trailer perficlty, and how they opend it, well ya. BUt I wont say anymore because it might be true and I don't want to ruin anything !
