Category:Easter eggs

A virtual Easter egg is an intentionally hidden message or feature in an object such as a movie, book, CD, DVD, computer program, or video game. The term draws a parallel with the custom of the Easter egg hunt observed in many western nations.

This practice is analogous to hidden signature motifs such as Diego Rivera including himself in his murals or Alfred Hitchcock's legendary cameo appearances.

Bungie has a long history of easter eggs, starting in Marathon, going on through to Myth, and finally its more recent games in the Halo series.
