John-117 in cryo is an Easter egg in the Halo: Reach campaign level "The Pillar of Autumn".

By holding the right analog stick to the right in the part of the cinematic where Captain Keyes' Pelican lands in a hangar bay on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, one can see John-117 lying in a cryo-chamber in the hangar.[1] Viewing the Easter egg in Halo: The Master Chief Collection will unlock the Collection Eligibility Confirmed achievement.

TriviaEdit

  • The Easter egg is similar to the Buck and Monkeyman egg in the Halo 3: ODST epilogue, the only difference being that the player needs to push the right analog stick to the left in order to see the egg in ODST.
  • It appears that the Master Chief has a combat knife. This is because his model is simply reusing the model from the Spartans in Reach.

Placing him in the "hushed casket" was the one way we felt his presence in Reach would be appropriate. Anything greater than that would have diminished the importance of Noble team, including yourself as the last remaining Spartan willing to stay behind and fight on Reach to the very bitter end."
