Halo: Reach Discussion

[DarkHalo003]

I can understand the apparent bit of butt hurt about this whole scenario, but I'm also glad someone finally exposed the easter egg I probably was going to spend days upon days on. I mean some people might want to find it on their own and that's cool but honestly the community that doesn't post consistently could really care less how it was found. Korn didn't mod to find it; he simply used his skill in reading code to understand when and where it would begin. Any with dev software and basic use could have searched and searched, but Korn did it in less than a week I presume. Good job though. Anyone know what it's like driving both and if we could see these in future DLC?

Wait, what? According to Louis Wu I am frequently wrong.

EDIT: Apparently, I'm wrong because my argument of 'there are no clues' was defeated by his argument of 'but maybe there were!' And the fact that there are other eggs in the level is a clue that there could be more! Maybe! So, according to Wu's logic and a bit of mathematical induction, there are infinite easter eggs in New Alexandria.

Because "I know how to find the Pelican and I'm not telling" is a great way to approach the situation and I'm sure such selfish dickery would be well-received. That thread is funnier that I expected.

they jsut mad that they didn't find it first

The pelican is rather unwieldy, but I didn't get much time to fly it. I can't see either dropship getting into a multiplayer map given the 16 player limit. The Falcon already works as an MP-friendly pelican analogue. Maybe if they made a gimmicky space combat map, it could work, but it would probably be just as gimmicky as Pelican maps in CE.

Well if they would have just ignored the fact that I didn't have the required background for the job I applied for this past summer and hired me, I would have been NDA'd and this whole mess would have been avoided <>!

People are enjoying flight with the pelican/phantom and to me, that's what matters. If it puts a bad strike on my record for future Bungie employment, so be it; this save can't be reverted. I guess I should have pondered my decision before turning Iron on .

I said this last night, and I'll say it again:

Personally, I think that the fun about easter eggs is KNOWING about them so you can enjoy them, not wasting time searching for them. The only difference between searching the scripts for unit_enter_vehicle_immediate and searching legit is that days of time weren't wasted.

Like Kornman said, people are having fun flying around in the pelicans/phantoms. That's what matters, not how it was found.

Plus, kornman still needed to find the switch, basically kornman did more work, than if someone just tried looking for it.

Sucks I had to watch the footie highlights otherwise I would have been someone e-famous! (jokes).

I'd assume he took the coordinates for the switch and trigger and then turned on pan cam to find them.

Thats not what he told me :P

I tried enabling pan cam (in Reach) a while back and couldn't get it to work :s. Unless it's a different key combo than Halo3? Would have made finding the switch an easier process.

Reload, switch grenades, click right stick, up on d-pad.
That'll bring up the coordinates.
Jump, switch grenades, reload, AA button, click L+R sticks, left on d-pad.
That's for Pan-Cam. They made it even more fucking difficult than H3.
