Jason Jones on easter eggs
On the level Gravemind, in the beginning cut scene, Jason Jones can be found wearing only a pair of gym shorts. To find him, one must start the level on Legendary. After the Gravemind's conversation with Master Chief and the Arbiter finishes, the camera fades in to High Charity. When it focuses to the crowd of Grunts. you can see him among the people there.
Half-Naked Guy for more info
To find him, you must play on Co-op. Theater mode also works, but you won't be able to see him because the area is dark. Say you are in Co-op. Proceed normally as you would in order to get to the Terminal. (See Terminals for info). After both players are at the room, look on the opposite side of the Terminal. You will see a large gap and a small section of floor on the other side. This is the place you need to go to see the egg. Have one player stand at the edge and the other on the first's head, and face the gap. Then both jump simultaneously forward. Player 2 should now be on the section of floor, and player 1 should have re-spawned beside him. Then crouch jump on the next. Turn on your flashlight and look on your left. There he is! Standing on a small room with his usual shorts and his hands behind his head..
There are more pieces of floor after the two mentioned, and they are known to hide other secrets.

He appears on posters spread around the level.
Trivia

- He suggested Halo to be called "Red Shift".
