[[File:Bulletin board compare.jpg|right|thumb|333px|The Bulletin Board on the ''Autumn's'' bridge in both ''[[Halo Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Anniversary]]''.]]

On the [[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|first]] and [[The Maw|last]] of the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' levels, a '''bulletin board''' can be found just outside the [[bridge]] of the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]''.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''</ref> There are two versions of it featured within the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Anniversary]]''.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/halo-combat-evolved-anniversary-review/ '''Gamesradar.com:''' ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary review'']</ref>

==Overview==
===Halo: Combat Evolved===
[[File:Bulletin.jpg|left|thumb|220px|The original version.]]
Some of the [[list of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] messages on the bulletin boards look plausible, some are just silly, and still others are hidden [[:Category:Easter Eggs|Easter eggs]].

There are actually more bulletin boards on the ''Pillar of Autumn'', one being found on the mission, ''[[The Maw]]'', where there is a shattered board right through the cafeteria alongside two [[health pack|medical packs]] and an empty [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|shotgun]].

One post on the board says: "Missing: Calico Cat: Answers to [[Jonesy]]" This is a reference to ''Alien'' and ''Aliens'', two movies that ''[[Halo universe|Halo]]'' draws inspiration from, to include the banter of a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] soldier. Jonesy was a Calico cat in the series and, along with Ripley, was a survivor of the first movie.

There is a picture of [[Earth]] from the Moon with the caption "Fight for Her" on it. This is likely a propaganda piece that was disseminated by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]. It also shows Africa, which may be a reference or foreshadowing to where the Ark's portal is hidden. 

There is also a note reading: 

''For Sale:''<br />
''Pentium XI 33 GF''<br />
''Chicago Office''<br />
''Colony Ship''<br />
''*[[list of "seven" references in Halo|7]] Speed Manual transmission.''<br />
''
''Hyde Park Condo''<br />
''Integrity''

This is a reference to [[Bungie]] being bought by Microsoft. It mentions the location of Bungie's old office, as well as referencing a stage in [[Marathon]], entitled Colony Ship for Sale: Cheap.

There is a sign that says: "Marines keep it clean! Clean your area, toss your filth, put away your trash." The term "Keep it Clean" would later become the catchphrase of a ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' character, the [[Superintendent]], and is the name of a [[keep It Clean (Trailer)|trailer]] for the game.

Another says: "Duty roster Pillar Of Autumn" with some illegible writing which is supposedly the duty roster.

One says: "Marines scooters are for squirts, no scooters on deck."

Another reads: "Attention marines, callbacks for South Pacific" and the rest is cut off by a keyboardish item. It is likely that this is a reference to the musical, ''[[wikipedia:South Pacific (musical)|South Pacific]]''.

===Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary===
[[File:Bulletin board cea.jpg|left|thumb|220px|The version featured within ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''.]]

Appearing within the same location as ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the board features new messages, new Easter eggs, a technologically upgraded appearance, and new references to ''[[Halo]]'' media.

One of the posts parells the original version of the board's notice alerting that Jonesy is missing. In this version, the cat is noted to have been found. The "cat" also clearly appears to be an [[Wikipedia:Opossum|Opossum]] within the notice's photo. Next to this post is an notice which alerting that somebody's goose is missing. This is another reference to to Jonesy. 

Another one of the posts displayed on the board includes a distinct reference to the "[[Unidentified planet|Legendary planet]]" which is featured within [[Halo 3]]'s ending and will is to featured within [[Halo 4]]. The post is an advertisement to a new film called ''Dark Planetoid Rising'' which is set to be released in theaters on [[7|7th]] Friday. The poster for the advertisement is a direct screenshot of the Legendary planet. If one look even closer, an image of the [[Wikipedia: Internet Meme|Internet Meme]] [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trollface-coolface-problem Trollface] can be seen to the bottom-left. 

A notice below that displays a promotion for a band called ''Fist of the Unicorn''. The band is advertised to perform public gigs on the main hangar on Saturday at [[Military Calendar|1600 hours]]. Lastly, a blatant use of the [[Defiant Map Pack]]'s promotional image can be seen within the top-right corner.
