When you drop the [[Type 14 Magnetic/Anti-Tank Mine|Assault bomb]] on any [[Assault]] game of ''[[Halo 2]]'' [[multiplayer]], there is a '''hidden message''' that you can see as it falls. These are visible in ''[[The Art of Halo]]''.

The best way to see it is to perform the [[No weapon glitch]] and pick up the bomb, walk to a wall and hold '''R''' so the bomb is quickly bouncing between you and the wall. If this does not work because the wall is too light/the bomb is too much to one side of the screen, then look directly up and hold R and you can see it as it's thrown into the air.

Also, it helps to use a [[Spartan]] player, as opposed to an [[Sangheili|Elite]], because the dropping animation is different. This difference means that the bomb drops directly down, not forward first.

An alternative method is to simply grab the bomb and to drop it into a shiny area of the map, and then zoom to focus at the bottom of the bomb with a [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle]]/[[Type-50 particle beam rifle]]. The messages are much more visible in these conditions. Certain [[matchmaking]] modes based on community maps in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' (particularly in [[Grifball]]) also show a close-up of the bomb during [[Loadout]] screens.

This [[Easter eggs|Easter egg]] also appears in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. In ''Halo 3'', there are only two messages, while in ''Halo: Reach'' there are three.

In ''Halo 3'', this easter egg is easier to see in [[Forge]], but can be done in [[custom game]]s, [[Matchmaking]], or [[Theater]].

You will see a different message, whether or not you are the [[Connection Host]]. If you are the connection host, the message seen is "Hold Onto Yer Butt." If you are not the connection host, the message seen will be "Thus I Refute Thee."
