[[File:23493939-Full2.jpg|thumb|300px|One Message that states, “Hold Onto Yer Butt”.]] | |||
[[ | 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]]''. | ||
When you drop the [[Type 14 Magnetic/Anti-Tank Mine| | |||
The best way to see it is to perform the [[ | 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 | 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. | |||

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

'Hold Onto Yer Butt' | ==''Halo: Reach'' Messages== | ||
In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the messages return unchanged. | |||

*'Hold Onto Yer Butt' is a reference to Jurassic Park, where Samuel L. Jackson says the quote before switching out the power. | |||
*'Thus I Refute Thee' is a twist on a philosophical reference; it was included by Robt and Lorraine McLees as part of an inside joke between members of the group 7hr33.<ref>[http://7hr33.bungie.org/commentaryfiles/refute.html '''7hr33.bungie.org:''' Explanation of Thus I Refute Thee]</ref> | |||
