DMM 2003

DMM 2003 is an Easter egg message that can be seen on the Halo: Combat Evolved for PC multiplayer map, Timberland. It stands for David M. Mertz (DMM) and the year Halo PC came out (2003).

There are two methods of reaching the message without mods, both involving a Ghost:

1. Enter a custom game with another player and turn friendly fire off. Once the game loads, enter a Ghost and, when facing blue base, go to the hill on the left. Once there, get out of the Ghost and let the teammate get in it. Then, have the teammate drive into you. If done correctly, you should go past the invisible wall. Then go to the opposite corner of the map to reach the DMM 2003 message.
2. Load up a custom game lobby solo, and in the same place strategy #1 takes places, drive a Ghost up the hill. Surrounding the map is an invisible wall, and just like strategy #1, the goal is to break through it. To do this, drive up the hill and angle the Ghost in a way that would make the player exit in the direction of the invisible wall. If done correctly, exiting the vehicle at the perfect time will make the player clip through the barrier and allow them to walk their way to the hidden message.
