| 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]]''. | | [[Image:23493939-Full2.jpg|thumb|right|400px|One Message that staes hold on to yer butt]] |

| 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. | | 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.

| 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. | | Also, it helps to be a [[Spartan]] as it is ''much'' easier than being an [[Elite]] because the dropping animation is different. |

| 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. | | An alternate method is to simply grab the bomb and to drop it into a shiny area of the map, and then zooming at the bottom of the bomb with a sniper/beam rifle. The message can easily be read that way. |

| 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 2'' Messages==
| | For instance, the message 'Thus I Refute Thee' appears on [[Ivory Tower]], [[Waterworks]], [[Turf]], [[Backwash]], [[Elongation]], [[Relic]], [[Foundry]]. On Bungie.net's matchmaking stats section of the service record, the description of the bomb is "Thus I refute thee." |

| |
|

| ==''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]].
| |
| | |
| You will see a different message, whether or not you are the [[Connection Host]]. If you are the connection host, the message seen is "Hold Onto Yer Butt." If you are not the connection host, the message seen will be "Thus I Refute Thee."

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *'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>
