I was wondering if anyone would like to see, or care if Bungie placed the Scarab gun in Halo 3, simply as an Easter Egg and nothing else.

I'd love to see it in High Def with the updated engine.

And there you have it, A simple poll with simple answers.

I think that they should keep the scarab gun but create some new easter eggs.

I don't want any easter eggs. I say this because this is the last Halo game. It's such a highly-anticipated game, and you're saving Earth and the Universe. You're battling the Flood, the Covenant, and maybe even a new race. I don't want to go around, saving lifes, and then see a skull that says something when you pick it up. I want this game to be as realistic as possible, except the blood, gore, and more swearing. Make Halo 3 melodramatic, but no random skulls or easter eggs of any kind. This is just my opinion.

Its a little late to say there shouldn't be easter eggs in Halo 3.
the Trailer has that grunt sign. Theres one.
And its the easter eggs that make the campaign fun to play around in.
Its like hunting for the skulls.

Its an Easter Egg in the sense that it some players may not take notice to it, and it is intended to affect the Mood. Or rather that it is a Joke.
There is a Wiki on Virtual Easter Eggs that explain it.

Although the Grunt Crossing or warning sign is a pretty obvious easter egg.

I have walked the edge of the Abyss. I have governed the unwilling. I have witnessed countless empires break before me. I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear. [I was there with the Angel at the tomb] I have seen your future. And I have learned.There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy. I HAVE WON. Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends. -Cortana

Its something that bungie has placed in the game (or video) that is hidden for fun.

I loved the scarab gun from halo 2, they should have that, plus some new ones, just keep them hidden to keep that "realistic" feeling
