Roses vs Violets
Roses vs Violets is an achievement in Halo 4. It is awarded when a player finds one of the Red vs. Blue easter eggs while playing Spartan Ops. The achievement is worth 20 Gamerpoints. It is represented by a star inside an oval with one half of color blue and the other red.[1]
Easter Eggs
So far, these Easter eggs can be found within a chapter of each episode of Spartan Ops.
- Michael J. Caboose of Blue Team will slip in the radio transmissions between Sarah Palmer, Robert Dalton and the Majestic Squad during Core.[2]
- Caboose and Church of Blue Team can be heard, followed by Grif and Simmons of Red Team. When these characters speak, their dialogue replaces that of Science Team Gagarin during Gagarin.[3]
- In the mission Shootout In Valhalla, dialogue from Grif and Simmons is heard during the scene where four Pelican transports arrive to reinforce Fireteam Crimson with Mantises.[4]
- Shortly after clearing the Forerunner tower of Prometheans during the mission Rally Point, Vic will cut in after the conversation between Paul DeMarco and Sarah Palmer.[5]
- In the beginning of the mission Spartan Thorne, Sarge and Grif will be heared talking about send Grifball equipment to a battle.[6]
- In the mission Shut Down, when the Fireteam Switchback contacts the UNSC Infinity, instead of SPARTAN Cara Costabile, Sarge will be heared for help, with Grif screaming.
Trivia
The achievement's name is most likely a reference to the Red vs. Blue theme song, Blood Gulch Blues by Trocadero; specifically derived from the lyric "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue", which itself is a reference to the poem "Roses are red".
