Hey everyone! This video took a ton of work and I am VERY sure there are more Easter eggs I missed (it’s why I asked all of you to help out finding more)! I love this pack and I’ll be sure to read through the comments to learn some new stuff
At 19:30 you can see the bungie 7 insignia/7th collumn. If you take a bombtender dare core from the beginning of a cabal run and throw it at the thin shaft at the top a beam comes down through it and it resembles a classic halo beam tower firing, and to top it off above it are 2 contrails that remind the player of a halo ring outline. 😇
You missed my favorite. The name of the grenade ability on the forerunner is "the rock" in reference to a cut scene with johnson in halo 2 where he says "When i joined the corps, we didnt have any fancy schmanzy tanks. We had sticks! two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon - and we had to share the rock!"
Golden tricon is a reference to Halo’s golden triangle which was a rule of the 3 core parts to win a fight gunfire, melee, and grenade. That’s why golden tricon gives you damage buffs for each one giving a 3x stack if you get a kill through all three.
The burnished reed shader is the og master cheif color scheme, with metal green, black, and the gold visor. The you think your big time ornament also has the marathon logo on it.
Hey Evan, along with the armor, I believe the warlock arms are a reference to the arbiter's armor from halo. It may not be exact but it looks pretty close. as well as the halo ring as the class mark. Also golden tricorn is also a reference to the golden triangle from halo
When Xur says at the end of Dares of Eternity “don’t forget to have your Ghost spayed and neutered” is a nod to the Price is Right game show where at the end the host reminds the audience to get their pets spayed and neutered.
Everyone’s missing the fact that the forerunner catalyst is named “the rock” which is a reference to the rock that Sargent Johnson had to share as a weapon (supposedly) during the legendary (I think) cutscene with the scorpion from halo 2.
Apparently Evan missed a TON of details in the video so I'll just comment them here as I see them. The Tigers are so referenced in Destiny because the engine is called the Tiger Engine, also I don't know if it was a joke but apparently a Tiger Race was supposedly worked on before D1's release. Also worth mentioning here, as it isn't mentioned in the video. Pathways into Darkness wasn't just "trying to be DOOM", it was making a 3D engine from scratch on the Mac with different tech than that seen on DOOM, and it got praised for it's role playing aspects. The Birthday Blade finisher is a reference to how the Arbiter attacks enemies while playing singleplayer Halo 3 The GJNKR ornament isn't a reference to 343i's SPNKR, it's a combination reference to Halo CE's SPNKR Rocket Launcher, which is also kind of a reference to Marathon's SPNKR Rocket Launcher. Also, the design in Destiny looks a lot like the 1999 Mac World version of it. Master Chief's pod (in the Forerunner quest) is not only his pod, but his pod after Halo 3's ending. Blunt Execution Rounds also spells B-Ex-R. He mentioned why in the weapon name part but I thought this was a neat touch that he missed. The """Bungie Seven Insignia"""" is the Seventh Column logo. It represents both Bungie's "7 Steps to World Domination" and an "underground secret army" that they have. Just a correction, "This cave is not a natural formation" is said in Halo CE's second mission, not the first one. Dead Man's Revenge is also the name of a 1994's Western movie, continuing Bungie's tradition of referencing Western movies through Tex Mechanica guns. The "Pink Mist" thing was, since the Halo medal name, a reference to The Godfather, as in the book (trying to not spoil it) someone gets shot in the head and it's described as "only leaving a pink mist". Of course, also a reference to how the Needler literally leaves a pink mist after a supercombine. Also, I don't know if this was what he meant but The Needler takes 7 needles to supercombine, not 5. The Golden Tricorn isn't a reference to Destiny's Logo, it's a reference to the Design Philosophy that ruled over Halo's combat, the Golden Triangle, referencing how the 3 pillars of combat should be Weapons, Melee, and Grenades (the 3 things that make the perk do more damage). The Wastelander-M5 is a reference to Marathon 2's WSTE-M5 shotgun. The Ragdoll emote is a clear reference to Halo CE's death animation while in the air. Even the flavour text says "If titans could fly", Titans being the closest match from guardians to spartans. Also didn't get mentioned. The Half-Truths Sword is named like that after the Prophet of Truth from Halo. The Halo-like skulls in the Valley of Eternity pop up flavour text, unlike what Evan says, the flavour text doesn't reference Halo Skulls, it references other Bungie games. The Tank from ancient arid war is for Operation Desert Storm, Legendary Maze is for Minotaur, Speak to the dead is for Pathways into Darkness, Durandel was laughing is for Marathon, Fallen Lords is for Myth, Dark future, Uncertain past is for Oni and Nimbus that blinds you is for Halo. The Shattered Sinew shader references Halo's Honor Guards, Burnished Reed references Master Chief's colour scheme, and Smudgepot adds Seventh Column symbols to certain weapons/armour.
He also didn't know there's an XBR55 variant in Halo: Contact Harvest. Also that the BXR-55 isn't just the Battle Rifle from halo, but the BR55 in Halo 2 and 3 instead of the BR85N in Halo's 4 and 5. Bungie REALLY put a lot of thought into this gun when bringing it over. Also my personal favorite: the Sidearm smackdown finisher is a reference to Halo CE's Mangum melee animation
Another one not related to bungie specifically Wilhelm-7 left messages in the dungeon 'the Wilhelm scream' Not a super obvious one, but it's probably on purpose
The text using the Ragdoll emote is a great reference to Sgt. Johnson's line from Halo 2 when the Chief gives the Covenant back their bomb. "'Guardian' flies like a brick..." "For a brick... he flew pretty good!" -Sgt. Johnson
One you missed Evan - the emote ‘rag doll’ is the death animation from Halo and when activated shows on the text in the bottom left ‘Evenf1997 flies like a brick’ this is a reference to a line from Sgt. Johnson in the end cutscene on Cairo Station on Halo 2. When the chief blows up the carrier using the bomb and lands on In Amber Clad, Sgt. Johnson says ‘for a brick, he flew pretty good’
2 more references to throw on the pile: The icon for the Magnum Opus quest / the Forerunner's perk (the eagle w/ the Seventh Column) is a reference to the UNSC logo. The icon for the BXR-55's frame is a reference to Misriah Armory, the manufacturer of the Battle Rifle in-universe.
There was one ornament that was a nod to Pathways Into Darkness, its the Cedar and Ash. Its supposed to reference an item from the game called the Cedar Box, which allows you to regenerate any type of ammo in the game by putting one type inside the box and letting time pass. It's practically mandatory in order to finish the game normally, since by the time you get it, there are almost no ammo pick ups left in the game.
I don't know if it is intentional, but the BXR description reads: "A treasured competition pice from a *bygone* era" Which is fun because the rifle is of the same archetype, and even has a near identical recoil pattern to bygone
You missed one of the best Easter egg. The helmet ornament for completing the 30th year seal sets on fire while near enemies. A nod to the flaming helmet from halo
fun fact i realized when I first fought the cabal in the final room of dares, it is identical to the arena you fight ghaul in, except a pyramid in the background instead of the traveler
There are WH40K references on the new Xeno and Trinity Ghoul ornaments, the symbol of the Tau on the end of the Xeno barrel, and the top and bottom of the Trinity Ghoul bow itself having Eldar like helmets on it, in the vid there was quite a few things i didnt notice or didnt even know were a reference, love your vids Evan :)
I don’t know if you noticed it or were just counting all of the anniversary armor sets as a whole Easter egg but, for the warlocks set the right arm is covered in the same armor and style that the arbiter has in halo 2 and 3.
U missed my favorite. The name of the grenade ability on the forerunner is "the rock" in reference to a cut scene with johnson in halo 2 where he says "When i joined the corps, we didnt have any fancy schmanzy tanks. We had sticks! two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon - and we had to share the rock!"
My favorite (though not bungie related) is that in the dungeon the story is about wilhelm and his fire team right? Well at the end when you go see wilhem in his little pod one of his eyes is blocked by the white crystal which is a reference to goonies because that makes him one eyed willie. Also the main bosses shank is named arr-m80 and the bosses bosun who is in charge of equipment on a ship will steal any engrams left on the ground and will drop them on death.
I hope one day (MAYBE with the new weapon crafting in witch queen) we can combine the half truths and the other half to create an exotic energy sword. (that or maybe combine it with world line or make an ornament (which would kinda suck)) i feel like world line got power krept by eager edge.
Thank very much for those cool Easter eggs,played halo combat evolved and halo 2 on pc loved those games,especially loved the Easter egg with silent cartographer.
The Golden tricorn perk is a reference to Bungie's design philosophy of allowing the player to shoot, melee, and throw grenades at any time while moving at full speed - "The Golden Triangle". It's part of the reason they were so hesitant to add sprint until their last game, and even then, it was treated more like a power up.
All of Dares modifiers are references from past games. Cellular Division transmat effect is both Halo: CE and Halo 2 intro. Paraversal Singularity transmat effect is both Myth and Oni intro. (Flying the Unixural Voyager into the Unknown Subspace looks like the Paraversal Singularity intro.) The skulls when picked up actually have flavour text that references their past games, not the modifiers from halo. The tiger is a reference from the cut 4th race class tigerman and the name of the engine. Ragdoll emote is a reference to Halo CE's death animation. ("Flies like a brick" pops up, in reference to Johnson's line in Halo 2.) Cedar and Ash is from Pathway into Darkness. Gjnkr is from both Marathon and Bungie's Halo.
A eater egg you missed was the rag doll emote... First the emote is a nod to the halo ce death animation and also whenever you use it it says something along the lines about flying like a brick which is references Sgt Johnsons quote in halo 2.
The Perpetual Motion perk is a nod to Halo's playstyle of always moving. I know that some people have also mentioned that it could be a reference to Halo's aim assist coding which requires you to be in motion before it will enable.
Something else about the Tigers: - back when Destiny was supposed to be a fantasy game, there was a race you could pick called "Tigerman" which was cut by the time it became a science-fantasy fps - the engine D1 and D2 runs on is internally called the "Tiger engine" (source: ua-cam.com/video/UU92a5pKV6k/v-deo.html ) Other references missed: - the mutator names for Dares of Eternity such as: - MA-75 Multipurpose: increased AR and Grenade Launcher damage; a reference to the Marathon assault rifle MA-75 which had a grenade launcher - Durandal's edge: gives intrinsic Surrounded perk for all sword users; references the Durandal AI from Marathon which itself is named after a sword of Charlemagne (bungie had a long history of naming AI's after swords, like Cortana; likewise in the early D1 days fans theorized there would be a reference to the "Joyeuse" sword because the early storyline wanted the Warmind to be named "Charlemagne")
The emote you get immediately is the falling rag doll animation from halo, and when you use it, it says “~player~ flies like a brick” which is a reference to halo 2 after the first level during the cutscene when Johnson says “for a brick, he flew pretty good”
Another subtle one. Breaking Zydrons shield. Xur has a chance to say: “Conclude the Fight” which is literally just a different way of saying “Finish the Fight” as in the iconic halo 2 line and halo 3 tagline.
One thing I think is pretty cool but not sure if you'd class it as an Easter egg is the fact that the 30th anniversary weapons all have unique crossairs
Funnily enough, the reason I even looked up this video is because I noticed the DMR reference in eververse and realized there were more references from the 30th anniversary then I thought. Great video!
As you’re loading into Dares, Xür has several different lines he’ll recite. The one about “The points are made up and your deaths don’t matter” is a “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” reference.
I wondered why interacting with that rock was such a pain. I didn't realize it was a perspective thing, I thought the interact "area" was just poorly placed.
At 19:30 you can see the bungie 7 insignia/7th collumn. If you take a bombtender dare core from the beginning of a cabal run and throw it at the thin shaft at the top a beam comes down through it and it resembles a classic halo beam tower firing, and to top it off above it are 2 contrails that remind the player of a halo ring outline. 😇
What you missed: Golden tricorn is also a reference to the "golden triangle" of halo combat, grenades, melee, guns. The magnum perk "the rock" is also a reference to this in a slightly less obvious way, being the rock in rock paper scissors which is a comparison often brought up to the halo golden triangle. The BXR frame icon is the symbol for the manufacturer of the battle rifle in halo. The description of the BXR is in reference to halo esports having BR starts. You also shouldve mentioned the specific references to each skull instead of just "theyre the halo 3 skulls" which is obvious.
Surprised you didn't notice the names of the modifiers in Dares of Eternity. They even have unique symbols(?) that are nods to Halo as well as other franchises. One of them is "I don't keep it loaded" which is bonus sidearm damage. Which is a nod to Halo CE's first mission when you get the magnum from Captain Keyes. The current modifier is "Durandal's Edge" which is a Myth reference.
Idk if this counts as an Easter egg but on the xenophage ornament, near the barrel there's the symbol of the reclaimer or a monitor from Halo. It's pretty neat to me.
@@evanf1997 it’s mostly based on the halo 3 version , the visor is cut up , the lights on both sides of the helm , the mouthpiece having the lines that chiefs has, the black parts , it’s a blink and you miss it kind of details lol
Another thing about the marathon set, that little light on the shoulder pad for the titan set is actually a shoulder cannon for the hunters in Marathon
Two shaders are easter eggs. there's a master chief shader, and smudgepot bruise has a bunch of Bungie logos on the black. Also as a transmat effect I forget the name but I think it's "cellular division" which is one of the OG Bungie splashscreen things you got when you booted up Halo.
So, Bungie was kind of an entity all my life that I never knew was interconnected until much later. When I was growing up, my parents Macintosh computer came pre-loaded with Myth (Myst? I forget) but it was rated M, so I wasn't allowed to play it, and it was the late 90's and my dad thought every computer game would give you a virus. Me, the little shit I am, played it anyway, but I was too young to figure anything out, just pointed and clicked around a little. Halo was, to say the least, a monumental occurrence for me and my friend group of 4. It was perfect for LAN, Co-op, and just classic splitscreen slayer. Later on I played Marathon: Durandal because it was on Xbox marketplace and cheap AF and looked like a Doom kind of game. Later on I would realize that all of these were Bungie creations, it's kind of like a little "Life Easter Egg", they just always have kind of shown up in my life whether I've known it or not lol
The name of the tiger helm “thy fearful symmetry” is from the prom “Tyger” which was written by the poet William Blake. He was a well known romantic poet of England.
You missed the Wheel of Misfortune, which is a nod to Badass Gaming's channel, where they would use the wheel to do raids with different punishments. My favorite line from Xur, is him reminding you to spay or neuter your Ghost, in this episode of, Dires of Eternity! Which is a nod to Bob Barker at the end of Price is Right.
Yeah I realized the Dead Man's Revenge ornament was referencing the DMR from Halo as soon as I saw it but the fact that Dead Man's Revenge => DMR just kinda flew over my head until someone mentioned it in a video and I had that well duh moment.
Not to be the "um, actually" guy but the tiger items are for Lunar New Year, since this coming year is the year of the tiger especially since they have a pretty heavy Asian art aesthetic. Last year we had ox themed items.
I assumed the Tiger is more of a reference to the "Cut race: Tiger Man meme" from Destiny 1 april fools video. The GNKR is a nod to Pre-Halo ALPHA's version of the SPNKR seen in promotional material haha
The GJNKR ornament for Gjallarhorn is actually a reference to the beta design of the Halo rocket launcher. Also there's a room in the Grasp of Avarice dungeon that is nearly identical to a room in the Marathon mission "You think you're big time?"
I know i'm a few years late to this, But one reference i've never seen anyone mention, Is in the grasp of avarice dungeon when you open the door and the barrel flies down the stairs. I think it's referencing halo 3 custom games. It looks just like the halo wire spool that was always used in forge maps to splatter people
Hey everyone! This video took a ton of work and I am VERY sure there are more Easter eggs I missed (it’s why I asked all of you to help out finding more)! I love this pack and I’ll be sure to read through the comments to learn some new stuff
when you first pick up the forerunner from banshee, he tells you it'll "kick like a warthog"
Golden tricorn is a reference to the golden triangle of halo (melee, guns and granades)
Randal the vandal with the gally catalyst
At 19:30 you can see the bungie 7 insignia/7th collumn. If you take a bombtender dare core from the beginning of a cabal run and throw it at the thin shaft at the top a beam comes down through it and it resembles a classic halo beam tower firing, and to top it off above it are 2 contrails that remind the player of a halo ring outline. 😇
You missed my favorite. The name of the grenade ability on the forerunner is "the rock" in reference to a cut scene with johnson in halo 2 where he says "When i joined the corps, we didnt have any fancy schmanzy tanks. We had sticks! two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon - and we had to share the rock!"
Golden tricon is a reference to Halo’s golden triangle which was a rule of the 3 core parts to win a fight gunfire, melee, and grenade. That’s why golden tricon gives you damage buffs for each one giving a 3x stack if you get a kill through all three.
The catalyst for the forerunner called the rock is also a refrence to the halo 2 cutscene with srg johnson
Also the g horn ornament is generally a refrence to the halo rocket launcher, It was always called the SPNKR, not just in halo infinite.
@@Zero_XTZ5 the rocket launcher evanf was referencing/showing was from halo 5
The burnished reed shader is the og master cheif color scheme, with metal green, black, and the gold visor. The you think your big time ornament also has the marathon logo on it.
@@thomasw7908 okay i just learned the ornaments design is a refrence to the 1999 mac world halo CE demos rocket launcher
“This cave is not a natural formation”
“Slow down! You’re losin me.”
Literally died
I very much hope it was actually a figurative death
Hey Evan, along with the armor, I believe the warlock arms are a reference to the arbiter's armor from halo. It may not be exact but it looks pretty close. as well as the halo ring as the class mark. Also golden tricorn is also a reference to the golden triangle from halo
To add on, the Titan mark features Master Chiefs shoulder guards aswell!
You are right. I’ve used the warlock armor since the event began. The arms are definitely a nod to the arbiter.
The helmet has the Arbiter's four mandibles along with a hali ring as the class armour piece
Also forerunners catalysts is a reference to the one line form sergeant Johnson and his speech about having only a rock and a stick
@@BatteredWalrus same as the ghost the ghost shell has the halo ring around it but sadly the ring on the ghost doesn’t shade
When Xur says at the end of Dares of Eternity “don’t forget to have your Ghost spayed and neutered” is a nod to the Price is Right game show where at the end the host reminds the audience to get their pets spayed and neutered.
Everyone’s missing the fact that the forerunner catalyst is named “the rock” which is a reference to the rock that Sargent Johnson had to share as a weapon (supposedly) during the legendary (I think) cutscene with the scorpion from halo 2.
Heroic of the opening to Metropolis. Legendary is the cupid line!
Apparently Evan missed a TON of details in the video so I'll just comment them here as I see them.
The Tigers are so referenced in Destiny because the engine is called the Tiger Engine, also I don't know if it was a joke but apparently a Tiger Race was supposedly worked on before D1's release.
Also worth mentioning here, as it isn't mentioned in the video. Pathways into Darkness wasn't just "trying to be DOOM", it was making a 3D engine from scratch on the Mac with different tech than that seen on DOOM, and it got praised for it's role playing aspects.
The Birthday Blade finisher is a reference to how the Arbiter attacks enemies while playing singleplayer Halo 3
The GJNKR ornament isn't a reference to 343i's SPNKR, it's a combination reference to Halo CE's SPNKR Rocket Launcher, which is also kind of a reference to Marathon's SPNKR Rocket Launcher. Also, the design in Destiny looks a lot like the 1999 Mac World version of it.
Master Chief's pod (in the Forerunner quest) is not only his pod, but his pod after Halo 3's ending.
Blunt Execution Rounds also spells B-Ex-R. He mentioned why in the weapon name part but I thought this was a neat touch that he missed.
The """Bungie Seven Insignia"""" is the Seventh Column logo. It represents both Bungie's "7 Steps to World Domination" and an "underground secret army" that they have.
Just a correction, "This cave is not a natural formation" is said in Halo CE's second mission, not the first one.
Dead Man's Revenge is also the name of a 1994's Western movie, continuing Bungie's tradition of referencing Western movies through Tex Mechanica guns.
The "Pink Mist" thing was, since the Halo medal name, a reference to The Godfather, as in the book (trying to not spoil it) someone gets shot in the head and it's described as "only leaving a pink mist". Of course, also a reference to how the Needler literally leaves a pink mist after a supercombine. Also, I don't know if this was what he meant but The Needler takes 7 needles to supercombine, not 5.
The Golden Tricorn isn't a reference to Destiny's Logo, it's a reference to the Design Philosophy that ruled over Halo's combat, the Golden Triangle, referencing how the 3 pillars of combat should be Weapons, Melee, and Grenades (the 3 things that make the perk do more damage).
The Wastelander-M5 is a reference to Marathon 2's WSTE-M5 shotgun.
The Ragdoll emote is a clear reference to Halo CE's death animation while in the air. Even the flavour text says "If titans could fly", Titans being the closest match from guardians to spartans. Also didn't get mentioned.
The Half-Truths Sword is named like that after the Prophet of Truth from Halo.
The Halo-like skulls in the Valley of Eternity pop up flavour text, unlike what Evan says, the flavour text doesn't reference Halo Skulls, it references other Bungie games. The Tank from ancient arid war is for Operation Desert Storm, Legendary Maze is for Minotaur, Speak to the dead is for Pathways into Darkness, Durandel was laughing is for Marathon, Fallen Lords is for Myth, Dark future, Uncertain past is for Oni and Nimbus that blinds you is for Halo.
The Shattered Sinew shader references Halo's Honor Guards, Burnished Reed references Master Chief's colour scheme, and Smudgepot adds Seventh Column symbols to certain weapons/armour.
and the tiger helm lights up when near enemies which can be a nod to the flaming helm from halo 3
The pink mist is a refrence to the subanese explosion the needler creates leaving pink mist in the air.
He also didn't know there's an XBR55 variant in Halo: Contact Harvest. Also that the BXR-55 isn't just the Battle Rifle from halo, but the BR55 in Halo 2 and 3 instead of the BR85N in Halo's 4 and 5. Bungie REALLY put a lot of thought into this gun when bringing it over.
Also my personal favorite: the Sidearm smackdown finisher is a reference to Halo CE's Mangum melee animation
The Durandal one would be freaky if it wasn’t just an Easter egg lol
Another one not related to bungie specifically
Wilhelm-7 left messages in the dungeon
'the Wilhelm scream'
Not a super obvious one, but it's probably on purpose
WARNING: someone already claimed the emblem if the code was TXJ-LAY-RF6, at 10:45 . I tried and said it was already redeemed.
what was the emblem
Thanks for the advice
Yeah it tried it too and it also said it’s redeemed
Sadness
I tried too and it didn't work
The text using the Ragdoll emote is a great reference to Sgt. Johnson's line from Halo 2 when the Chief gives the Covenant back their bomb.
"'Guardian' flies like a brick..."
"For a brick... he flew pretty good!"
-Sgt. Johnson
One you missed Evan - the emote ‘rag doll’ is the death animation from Halo and when activated shows on the text in the bottom left ‘Evenf1997 flies like a brick’ this is a reference to a line from Sgt. Johnson in the end cutscene on Cairo Station on Halo 2. When the chief blows up the carrier using the bomb and lands on In Amber Clad, Sgt. Johnson says ‘for a brick, he flew pretty good’
2 more references to throw on the pile:
The icon for the Magnum Opus quest / the Forerunner's perk (the eagle w/ the Seventh Column) is a reference to the UNSC logo.
The icon for the BXR-55's frame is a reference to Misriah Armory, the manufacturer of the Battle Rifle in-universe.
Banshee says when he gives you the forerunner is that the gun “kicks like a warthog”
7:10 I like how he even showed peoples games crashing whenever the cabal boss gets picked
There was one ornament that was a nod to Pathways Into Darkness, its the Cedar and Ash. Its supposed to reference an item from the game called the Cedar Box, which allows you to regenerate any type of ammo in the game by putting one type inside the box and letting time pass. It's practically mandatory in order to finish the game normally, since by the time you get it, there are almost no ammo pick ups left in the game.
The titan mark ornament having parts of chiefs shoulder pieces was my favorite. It’s like I’m carrying memories and nostalgia where ever I adventure.
I don't know if it is intentional, but the BXR description reads: "A treasured competition pice from a *bygone* era"
Which is fun because the rifle is of the same archetype, and even has a near identical recoil pattern to bygone
The detail are care Bungie put into this is so heartwarming. Not just simple nostalgia, but references to things the community made
You missed one of the best Easter egg. The helmet ornament for completing the 30th year seal sets on fire while near enemies. A nod to the flaming helmet from halo
The reticle of “pardon our dust” is the same as a halo grenade launcher.
fun fact i realized when I first fought the cabal in the final room of dares, it is identical to the arena you fight ghaul in, except a pyramid in the background instead of the traveler
Love that the BXR is a combination of the BR's official name (BR-55 Battle Rifle), and the most infamous button combo in halo.
There are WH40K references on the new Xeno and Trinity Ghoul ornaments, the symbol of the Tau on the end of the Xeno barrel, and the top and bottom of the Trinity Ghoul bow itself having Eldar like helmets on it, in the vid there was quite a few things i didnt notice or didnt even know were a reference, love your vids Evan :)
You also missed a Hawkmoon exotic ornament which referenced the M6CSOCOM pistol from Halo 3 ODST
In the new dungeon, when going through the mine area on your sparrow, the lay out is an homage to the warthog run.
I don’t know if you noticed it or were just counting all of the anniversary armor sets as a whole Easter egg but, for the warlocks set the right arm is covered in the same armor and style that the arbiter has in halo 2 and 3.
U missed my favorite. The name of the grenade ability on the forerunner is "the rock" in reference to a cut scene with johnson in halo 2 where he says "When i joined the corps, we didnt have any fancy schmanzy tanks. We had sticks! two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon - and we had to share the rock!"
I also like how the Eager Edge perk icon has the aiming reticle for the original Halo swords.
My favorite (though not bungie related) is that in the dungeon the story is about wilhelm and his fire team right? Well at the end when you go see wilhem in his little pod one of his eyes is blocked by the white crystal which is a reference to goonies because that makes him one eyed willie. Also the main bosses shank is named arr-m80 and the bosses bosun who is in charge of equipment on a ship will steal any engrams left on the ground and will drop them on death.
I'm happy the new dungeon has brought back old guns but for the love of god can you stop giving me god roll eyasalunas I just want the armor
Fr tho. I just need the helmet
struggling from success
Ironically, I’m getting tired of getting armor, I just want one roll of the new weapons.
Bro I haven’t even gotten one eyesluna yet lol
@@bobthedudebro2248 keep farming the boss. It’s the only encounter that drops the helmet
I hope one day (MAYBE with the new weapon crafting in witch queen) we can combine the half truths and the other half to create an exotic energy sword. (that or maybe combine it with world line or make an ornament (which would kinda suck))
i feel like world line got power krept by eager edge.
The valus boss fight room in dares of eternity looks oddly familiar to the last mission where we fight ghaul on his ship
Hadn't even thought about that, but you're right. Same basic layout at least.
When you talk to banshee to get the forerunner, he says it "kicks like a warthog", a reference to the iconic halo vehicle
I love how this anniversary pack has Easter eggs and nods to past bungie games that don't get enough love
The flavor text in pardon our dust ,feels like a reference to the Gravemind quote in halo 2
Thank very much for those cool Easter eggs,played halo combat evolved and halo 2 on pc loved those games,especially loved the Easter egg with silent cartographer.
Fear The Pink Mist was my very first ever achievement once I finally made my own gamertag.
The Golden tricorn perk is a reference to Bungie's design philosophy of allowing the player to shoot, melee, and throw grenades at any time while moving at full speed - "The Golden Triangle". It's part of the reason they were so hesitant to add sprint until their last game, and even then, it was treated more like a power up.
All of Dares modifiers are references from past games.
Cellular Division transmat effect is both Halo: CE and Halo 2 intro.
Paraversal Singularity transmat effect is both Myth and Oni intro.
(Flying the Unixural Voyager into the Unknown Subspace looks like the Paraversal Singularity intro.)
The skulls when picked up actually have flavour text that references their past games, not the modifiers from halo.
The tiger is a reference from the cut 4th race class tigerman and the name of the engine.
Ragdoll emote is a reference to Halo CE's death animation.
("Flies like a brick" pops up, in reference to Johnson's line in Halo 2.)
Cedar and Ash is from Pathway into Darkness.
Gjnkr is from both Marathon and Bungie's Halo.
6:53 I need a longer version of this . It’s a masterpiece
The Gjnkr ornament is actually the original design for the Spnkr rocket as it appeared in Bungie's MacWorld presentation for Halo.
A eater egg you missed was the rag doll emote... First the emote is a nod to the halo ce death animation and also whenever you use it it says something along the lines about flying like a brick which is references Sgt Johnsons quote in halo 2.
The xenophage ornament also has the symbol of the reclaimer on it.
All the Tiger references are more likely an homage to Tigerman, a cancelled playable race in D1
The Perpetual Motion perk is a nod to Halo's playstyle of always moving. I know that some people have also mentioned that it could be a reference to Halo's aim assist coding which requires you to be in motion before it will enable.
Something else about the Tigers:
- back when Destiny was supposed to be a fantasy game, there was a race you could pick called "Tigerman" which was cut by the time it became a science-fantasy fps
- the engine D1 and D2 runs on is internally called the "Tiger engine" (source: ua-cam.com/video/UU92a5pKV6k/v-deo.html )
Other references missed:
- the mutator names for Dares of Eternity such as:
- MA-75 Multipurpose: increased AR and Grenade Launcher damage; a reference to the Marathon assault rifle MA-75 which had a grenade launcher
- Durandal's edge: gives intrinsic Surrounded perk for all sword users; references the Durandal AI from Marathon which itself is named after a sword of Charlemagne (bungie had a long history of naming AI's after swords, like Cortana; likewise in the early D1 days fans theorized there would be a reference to the "Joyeuse" sword because the early storyline wanted the Warmind to be named "Charlemagne")
he actually got the voice of god to do lines?! nice one Evan!
You have the type of channel that I actually feel the need to go back and watch all of your videos
The emote you get immediately is the falling rag doll animation from halo, and when you use it, it says “~player~ flies like a brick” which is a reference to halo 2 after the first level during the cutscene when Johnson says “for a brick, he flew pretty good”
Also the skulls were first in halo 2 as modifiers, but they were actually hard to find and you couldn’t just turn them on and off.
10:58 wait till you play marathon 3 and realize savathun's entire motivation is lifted straight from that game
Another subtle one. Breaking Zydrons shield. Xur has a chance to say: “Conclude the Fight” which is literally just a different way of saying “Finish the Fight” as in the iconic halo 2 line and halo 3 tagline.
The Ringwalker set is a refrence to Chief literally walking on rings lol
Missed one more Evan. Inside the eager edge icon perk is the reticle for the energy sword from Halo. The reticle is the icon
One thing I think is pretty cool but not sure if you'd class it as an Easter egg is the fact that the 30th anniversary weapons all have unique crossairs
Did you actually have the Halo announcer do a Cameo for you?!?!?! thats amazing.
When you use the "Ragdoll" emote, it says "*Player* flies like a brick" in chat; referencing the "For a brick, he flew pretty good" line from Halo
The skull in the dungeon looks like the logo when you all die in a darkness zone
Funnily enough, the reason I even looked up this video is because I noticed the DMR reference in eververse and realized there were more references from the 30th anniversary then I thought. Great video!
The design of the Gjallarhorn ornament is actually closer to the design of the G/GNR, or Spartan laser, basically the most powerful weapon in Halo.
As you’re loading into Dares, Xür has several different lines he’ll recite. The one about “The points are made up and your deaths don’t matter” is a “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” reference.
Thx, for me that was I really obvious one, so I'm kinda disappointed so few got it.
Such a good show.
I wondered why interacting with that rock was such a pain. I didn't realize it was a perspective thing, I thought the interact "area" was just poorly placed.
At 19:30 you can see the bungie 7 insignia/7th collumn. If you take a bombtender dare core from the beginning of a cabal run and throw it at the thin shaft at the top a beam comes down through it and it resembles a classic halo beam tower firing, and to top it off above it are 2 contrails that remind the player of a halo ring outline. 😇
What you missed:
Golden tricorn is also a reference to the "golden triangle" of halo combat, grenades, melee, guns.
The magnum perk "the rock" is also a reference to this in a slightly less obvious way, being the rock in rock paper scissors which is a comparison often brought up to the halo golden triangle.
The BXR frame icon is the symbol for the manufacturer of the battle rifle in halo. The description of the BXR is in reference to halo esports having BR starts.
You also shouldve mentioned the specific references to each skull instead of just "theyre the halo 3 skulls" which is obvious.
Not to mention he said spnkr was a 343 thing when it was actually bungie. It was on the side of the rocket launcher in the first halo game.
Why does halo music go well with any action scene 😂
Who ever used armor lock as a ability in halo reach was a menace to society
The gally catalyst vandals were references to Randal the vandal
“Good luck getting the forerunner catalyst…that is a grind”
Me, who just finished it literally 30 minutes ago: *PTSD ferociously kicking in*
The titans set referencing the Forehunter literally reminds me of the hunters from halo. I like they take old ideas and repurpose them
this is a bit of a reach but the instant kill water in grasp of avarice could be a reference to how you die instantly in water in halo
Surprised you didn't notice the names of the modifiers in Dares of Eternity.
They even have unique symbols(?) that are nods to Halo as well as other franchises.
One of them is "I don't keep it loaded" which is bonus sidearm damage. Which is a nod to Halo CE's first mission when you get the magnum from Captain Keyes.
The current modifier is "Durandal's Edge" which is a Myth reference.
The sidearm also has Special Ammo, an awesome reference to " i don't keep it loaded son, you'll have to find ammo as you go"
I noticed Daodan surge, which is a reference to Oni
My favorite easter egg you missed is the cellular division transmat effect which references the Halo 2 bungie intro
Imagine if the energy sword released as the first glaive. I love them regardless but it would have been great using them in first person
Xur - "Conclude the Fight" ... Finish the fight
Idk if this counts as an Easter egg but on the xenophage ornament, near the barrel there's the symbol of the reclaimer or a monitor from Halo. It's pretty neat to me.
Worth noting, the Warlock streetwear bond is a mini halo ring.
The final sparrow from the dare of eternity chest is a stripped down ghost
I'm 30 years old, i also Grew up with the BXR. Kids not a days will never know the joy of hanging out in a custom game with friends for hours.
This man rly glossed over the fact that the streetwear Titan helm is a copyright free master chief helm
If that’s master chiefs helmet royalty free then we got some deeper questions
@@evanf1997 it’s mostly based on the halo 3 version , the visor is cut up , the lights on both sides of the helm , the mouthpiece having the lines that chiefs has, the black parts , it’s a blink and you miss it kind of details lol
@@evanf1997 leave it on default colours or put on a green shader it’s more obvious that way
One of my personal favorite Easter eggs is the name of the Shank mini boss in the GoA dungeon. R-M80 = Argh, Matey!
Another thing about the marathon set, that little light on the shoulder pad for the titan set is actually a shoulder cannon for the hunters in Marathon
Two shaders are easter eggs. there's a master chief shader, and smudgepot bruise has a bunch of Bungie logos on the black.
Also as a transmat effect I forget the name but I think it's "cellular division" which is one of the OG Bungie splashscreen things you got when you booted up Halo.
Evan, thanks for inspiring me to play destiny again!
Thanks for watching the vids!
also on the eager edge perk art you can see the crosshair for the energy sword
So, Bungie was kind of an entity all my life that I never knew was interconnected until much later. When I was growing up, my parents Macintosh computer came pre-loaded with Myth (Myst? I forget) but it was rated M, so I wasn't allowed to play it, and it was the late 90's and my dad thought every computer game would give you a virus. Me, the little shit I am, played it anyway, but I was too young to figure anything out, just pointed and clicked around a little. Halo was, to say the least, a monumental occurrence for me and my friend group of 4. It was perfect for LAN, Co-op, and just classic splitscreen slayer. Later on I played Marathon: Durandal because it was on Xbox marketplace and cheap AF and looked like a Doom kind of game. Later on I would realize that all of these were Bungie creations, it's kind of like a little "Life Easter Egg", they just always have kind of shown up in my life whether I've known it or not lol
The name of the tiger helm “thy fearful symmetry” is from the prom “Tyger” which was written by the poet William Blake. He was a well known romantic poet of England.
You also missed Xur referencing Bob Barker when he says "Be sure to spay and neuter you ghost. Goodnight."
You missed the Wheel of Misfortune, which is a nod to Badass Gaming's channel, where they would use the wheel to do raids with different punishments. My favorite line from Xur, is him reminding you to spay or neuter your Ghost, in this episode of, Dires of Eternity! Which is a nod to Bob Barker at the end of Price is Right.
Yeah I realized the Dead Man's Revenge ornament was referencing the DMR from Halo as soon as I saw it but the fact that
Dead Man's Revenge => DMR just kinda flew over my head until someone mentioned it in a video and I had that well duh moment.
Not to be the "um, actually" guy but the tiger items are for Lunar New Year, since this coming year is the year of the tiger especially since they have a pretty heavy Asian art aesthetic. Last year we had ox themed items.
Iirc, the tiger themed stuff (throughout the franchise) is a reference to Destiny's working title "Project Tiger".
On the titan streetwear mark, there are pieces on the mark that are shaped like Master Chief's shoulder armor
I assumed the Tiger is more of a reference to the "Cut race: Tiger Man meme" from Destiny 1 april fools video. The GNKR is a nod to Pre-Halo ALPHA's version of the SPNKR seen in promotional material haha
The warlock streetwear ornament has arbiter’s armor on the arm
The GJNKR ornament for Gjallarhorn is actually a reference to the beta design of the Halo rocket launcher.
Also there's a room in the Grasp of Avarice dungeon that is nearly identical to a room in the Marathon mission "You think you're big time?"
That's also the new Xenophage ornament.
Since weapon crafting is coming with witch queen, hopefully you can combine Half truths and the other half together to make an actual energy sword.
Half truths+the other half=lawsuit.
Lawsuit:
Perks: bankruptcy.
New quest step: bought up by microsoft
Rewards: irony
The eager edge perk looks like the reticle of the energy swords in halo
The cabal boss arena has the same layout and shape as Gauls boss fight in D2 Red war
Is this a DOUBLE UPLOAD? THIS IS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE
Keep posted for more this week :)
4:45 is when the Easter eggs start 👍
1000% appreciative of the Banjo Kazooie background music.
I know i'm a few years late to this, But one reference i've never seen anyone mention, Is in the grasp of avarice dungeon when you open the door and the barrel flies down the stairs.
I think it's referencing halo 3 custom games. It looks just like the halo wire spool that was always used in forge maps to splatter people
The warlock arm armour is a reference to arbiters armour, also the warlocks bond is a halo ring
