Obscure Halo Secrets and Facts You ACTUALLY Don’t Know

[@mitchmitting102]

I love Carter's quote, because it means that Noble Six Canonically just stares at people randomly, and considering the Spartan III's, it actually comes off pretty logical and surprisingly understandable personality tick given the lore behind them. Also I remember finding the MAC Cannon in Halo 4, me and a bunch of old clan mates had found it just fucking around in the campaign. Good days...

The flipped Elephant might be the most iconic Easter egg of all time

[@iSpeed64]

Entire lobby stops killing eachother to help

[@Remington934]

Not in the slightest, even in the Halo community

[@wonkatar2813]

my cousin and I experienced that happening in an actual online multiplayer matchmade game

[@SgtJohnRemairez]

I always loved halo 3 as a kid, the Elephant easter eggs was one of the first ones I discovered besides the Monkey family in 117. This game was full of so many little details I was always coming back to it

[@mk6rich]

But did any of you ever fly the elephant 🤔

[@SlashArbiter]

Not really an Easter egg, and it might be pretty well known, but my favorite weird thing I showed my friends was how the plasma repeater's reticle in Reach would eventually freak out and expand, and then just freeze in its idle position if you had bottomless clip on. None of the other guns would do that.

[@TheVikingKing125]

I used to do this all the time. My Dad, brothers, and I thought it was cool.

[@thenightscythe2030]

That was a feature

[@SquifferMain]

Lol I found out about it too when playing firefight

[@Dognuhtz]

That’s a feature and it’s well known :)

[@davidvasquez6169]

Better yet, did you know the sniper rifle’s reticle bloom grew slowly with each shot if fired as fast as possible, which only became noticeable with bottomless clip on. After a few dozen shots, it would effectively fire shots randomly within a large circle, like an unscoped sniper rifle CoD.

[@DarkonFullPower]

The Carter line is even funnier, as during the opening cutscene he did claim he read everything about Noble 6 including censored information. So he canonically would know.

[@treefiddy209]

Cool video man, always dope to see all these hidden gems throughout the Halo games. Makes you wonder what easter eggs are still out there undisovered

[@Spendingryan]

Another interesting thing about the Halo 4 MAC turrets, they don't actually work properly anymore, if you go watch them in that mission in mcc now they do not fire and there are no firing effects which is a shame as i loved watching them, hopefully by submitting bug reports things like this that got broken will eventually get fixed

[@Admjral]

Another thing with Carter and I've only been able to find it using the skull that allows rare dialogue to become more common on the first mission: if you run over animals like Emu or some enemies, he says "Yep, that's going in your file". Not sure how many know of it. I've never heard it before.

[@helloeddboyttv]

Back before the map backwash relased, Chris Carney the multiplayer map designer got my friends and I from highimpacthalo to basically break the maps to find faults. We eneded up finding this text while getting outside all those years ago.

[@KnightOfGod3204]

10:14 In that same mission I believe, you can find a hidden Cortana just standing on a rock by doing the same out of map glitch. Now I'm not 100% sure how you can get to her but I do know it's by the doing the same glitch in that same mission that has the hidden Mac Cannon that is operational. Like there's no device for her to be standing on since she's an A.I. She's just on a rock, standing on it in the midst of the out of map fighting.

[@dashiejinxx100]

[@DespinaValnir]

There was one oddity that happened only once when I played Halo on Legendary in The Library. It only ever happened once and could never replicate it again but there was a Scorpion Tank that spawned in the second half of the level. I could never find anyone else reporting this ever happening.

[@MiauFrito]

If this was on PC, maybe you had a mod installed (there's a lot of alternative campaign mods that are on the same maps but with different e.g. guns, etc.)? If it was on the original Xbone, then it was probably just an alternative universe leaking through the fabric of time itself. What's weird is that I also have a memory of a scorpion in the Library, but it's very distant, I don't know if it was from a mod that I played or just something that I thought would be nice to be in some mod... or if it was something else that would be more mysterious..

[@MiauFrito]

OH shi- I would have also placed right in the half of the level So, it was definitely either a level mod (thinking about SPV1 or 2, but.... I'm pretty sure that it was a normal scorpion, don't those mods have the weird two-barrel version?)... HMMM SPV1 and 2 are really fun btw, SPV1 is called CMT or something like that

[@DespinaValnir]

@@MiauFrito It definitely wasn't from a mod and it was on the Xbox, done when it was first released too. I know this happened but I could never get this to ever repeat. Probably some sort of Mandela Effect or something?

[@gruntes11isttt]

One thing I've never figured out was one time got a guass hog to spawn on halo 2 outskirts. After going through Zanzibar the part where marines comes with a hog if you ignore them and jump off the ramp there is this random platform thing that has a railing going all around it. That's where I had a guass hog spawn at. this was in the Orginal game not mcc. I haven't seen any videos on it, I think I've seen one where a regular hog spawned but not a guass hog.

[@MiauFrito]

Hmm, I also remember having a gauss warthog in the beach section, no idea where it spawns though, I would assume that it spawns if you blow up all the vehicles or just the regular warthog. Maybe it's also limited to Normal or Easy difficulties. OH, I think that I might know, it might appear later on if you happen to lose your vehicle, I think that the other marines might come to give it to you

[@dragonoflegend8798]

I remember somebody told Me about that Easter egg outside of Backwash. I wasn't certain if they were telling the truth and I found out that I needed a Specter to get out the map back when Halo 2 was hot and I was so happy that it was true. Halo 2 is one of My Favorite Halos because you could get outside of almost every single map and I LOVE that SO much. Getting to explore where you weren't meant to and be able to do so everywhere was so much fun. So much exploration. So much to discover. It was My favorite thing to do. I also enjoyed getting out of the maps on gears 2 as well

[@LVTHORAscending]

"Your file mentioned this." So it's canon that Six has a staring issue, that's actually pretty hilarious.

On the memorial board in ODST, you can also see the names of Elias Haverson and Danforth Whitcomb, who are characters from the book First Strike. Also Margaret Parangosky is on there, even though she was still alive at that point in time.

[@bergensoland9399]

The rock things reminds me of a similar case in Halo 4. On the mission, Requiem, in the structure where you can get a Warthog just before the "warthog run" there is a loose warthog tire that is the audio anchor for radio coms. You can push the tire around and hear as the position of the audio follows it around.

In Halo 1, in Assault in the control room, at the start using Acrophobia skull or getting lucky with the pelican(how i and my friend discovered) if you land in the first plataform with extrudin points where it starts the fog, if you hug the wall in one point in concrete you can hear siegue of madrigal (is between 2 of the 5 extruding parts) .

Here's a fun one: the targeting for the towers on Sandbox can sometimes hit the wrong person. My friend when out of bounds in a ghost, boosted back to the center of the map and out the other side. I was a few blocks distance away, just mounting a Ghost and was sniped by the turret / guardians. Eventually he was hit a few seconds later.

[@Sku11Crusher988]

In halo CE the oracle says "I'm glad to see the flood survived the power of the rings, we kept samples to stop their complete destruction" and on infinite there are samples of loads of different species, this confirms that the oracle's actually kept samples of the flood. This will open up the greatest possibility for the flood to return in the next halo

This may not be obscure, but I was replaying Halo 3 with the "Realistic" Rebalance mod, killed a kig-yar, and then an unggoy on the floor above said "nice knowin' ya, jackass!" I played all the classics repeatedly over the course of several years, always on Legendary, since the day they came out. Literally grew up playing them, and kept playing them on MCC after it came to PC as I had left consoles behind, but I had somehow never heard that line of dialogue before, either while playing or while surfing the web and watching Halo videos. There is so much detail to these games, and the obscure stuff in this video is a testament to that.
