In ''[[Halo 3]]'', on the level [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]], when you start at Rally Point Bravo while playing on at least Normal difficulty. Grab a [[Mongoose]] and drive straight ahead at full speed. When you get to the part where a Marine says, "citadel in sight". Get off of your [[Mongoose]] and grab a [[Ghost]] as soon as possible. Drive the [[Ghost]] ahead as normal. When you get near a tunnel, turn right and climb straight up the mountain. Occasionally, when you climb up the mountain, there may be two [[Marines]]. Also, the Marine will not appear when you play on [[Xbox Live]] or with more than one player.

The '''Secret Marine on The Covenant''' can be found in ''[[Halo 3]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Campaign]] level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]], and takes the form of a [[Marine]] hidden in a hard-to-access location.


You can also do this in a [[Prowler]] - steal one from the Brutes in the area before the tunnel. There are usually two Prowlers, but once you get to the ridge on the top, you will need to pick your path carefully; some parts of the final ascent are too steep for a Prowler. Also, the Prowler is very slow so by the time you get to the top, the Marine may be gone because you have a time limit for reaching the marine.
The Marine only appears on single-player Local Play, and can be accessed using a {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}<ref name="ghostyoutube">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcvTK4ewVq0 '''YouTube''': ''Halo 3 Secret Marine'']</ref> or a [[Prowler]]. Sometimes, two or more Marines will appear. It is suspected that the faster you get to the Marine, the more Marines you will find. There appears to be a kind of "time limit", after which the Marine will not be present—whether he disappears or heads to another location is unknown. Once you encounter him, though, he will never leave his position.

== Marine Details ==
===Ghost===
*The [[Marine]] is similar to [[Unarmed Marine Easter Egg|the one]] that appears on 343 Guilty Spark in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. However, the Marine will usually change faces every time you go up the mountain. The varying faces of the Marine may be the faces of developers from [[Bungie]].
Start at Rally Point Bravo. Grab a [[Mongoose]] and drive straight ahead at full speed. When you get to the part where a Marine says, "''[[Installation 00 Citadel|Citadel]] in sight''". Get off of your Mongoose and grab a Ghost as soon as possible. Drive the Ghost ahead as normal. When you approach a tunnel, turn right and climb straight up the mountain. There, you will find the Marine(s).

*The Marine(s) will usually change faces every time you go up the mountain.
*It should also be noted that the weapon the Marine carries will vary. Usually, the Marine(s) carry [[MA5C Assault Rifle|Assault Rifles]], but they can also wield [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|Rocket Launcher]]s or [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|Pistols]].
*The marines may also be there as placeholders for reinforcements that will replace the warthog's crew when it's destroyed.
*The quicker you get up, the more marines there are.
