It took nearly seven years, but the last known Easter Egg for Halo 3 was finally discovered and documented.


The first reveal of this Easter Egg came from an early 2012 Mail Sack at Bungie. Senior Engineer John Cable noted that there was one surprise that nobody had found yet in the game. After that Mail Sack, a former developer at Bungie, Adrian Perez came out and noted that his proudest moment was "showing (his) wife the Easter egg (he) put in the Halo 3 loading screen for her – the one that nobody has found yet."

Team Beyond put the video up with credit given to Lord Zedd, Nowise10, LeGiiTXSLaYeR, and Moa for finding it out and documenting it.

For those having difficulty reading it, the letters say, "Happy Birthday Lauren" on the Halo ring. You can see this for yourself by having a slow loading Xbox 360, playing on December 25 (it doesn't work on any other date), and pressing down on both thumbsticks to have a wider view of the Halo ring as it loads.
