Megg secret
Note: This secret Easter Egg is a reference to Meg
Pallor, the girlfriend of Halo's lead level designer Jamie Griesemer.
Megg is a combination of her name and "egg". Start a
new game or continue an old game. Choose the first level "The
Pillar of Autumn". Choose the hardest difficulty, "Legendary."
You must be play on "Legendary" to view the Megg. Skip
the first cinematic if desired. When the level starts, you will
find yourself outside of your cryo tube. The Marine will shout,
"Come on, let's get out of here!". Ignore him. Do not
worry; he will remain in the same position if you do not walk
up to him. Now, turn around and jump on to the cryo tube you just
got out of. Walk to the top of the cryo tube and turn slightly
to your right until the shield tester comes into view. Jump off
the cryo tube and land on top of the shield tester. From the top
of the shield tester, jump on to the walkway. Move left, and walk
all the way down the walkway until you reach the wall. From the
walkway, jump on to the yellow cylinder. This yellow cylinder
triggers the "Megg". You must get on top of this cylinder
to see it. Then, jump off the cylinder and run up to the Marine.
He will shout "This way!". Continue to play through
the level as usual, until you get to the bridge. When you are
on the bridge, walk up to Captain Keys and a cinematic will start.
You can skip the cinematic if desired. When the cinematic is over,
Captain Keys will give you a pistol. Once you have it, run back
to the entrance of the bridge. You will pick some ammo. The next
step is optional; you can exit the Bridge and kill the three grunts
standing outside of the bridge -- once you do so, run into the
entrance of the lounge and you will pick up an assault rifle.
Regardless of whether you did that or not, go back inside the
bridge and shoot a Marine or Captain Keys. Cortana will come on
the intercom and say, "What are you doing? Cortana to backup,
the Master Chief has gone rampage! Take him down boys!" Normally,
a group of invulnerable Marines will run into the bridge from
a room that you cannot get into, and all the door will lock shut
before you are killed. This is supposed to happen to stop you
from continuing the game. If you did, it would ruin some plot
points. However, the "Megg" secret takes advantage of
these invulnerable Marines. If you jumped on the yellow cylinder
at the beginning of the level, and did everything correctly, this
should work. As soon Cortana comes on the intercom, immediately
run into the hallway of entrance of the bridge. The Marines will
run out of the door to the right of the entrance. Make sure you
see the Marines run through the door without them seeing you.
If you do not look at them, they will stand in the entrance of
door until you walk up to them. Just remain in the entrance to
the bridge. You will be hidden from the invulnerable Marines for
awhile. If you just remain here for ten seconds, the Marines will
say, "Where'd he go?" and they will search around the
bridge, looking for you. When this happens, immediately run very
quickly to the room where the invulnerable Marines came from.
There should only be about one Marine blocking the doorway. If
done correctly, the door to the room should be open. Quickly run
through it. You are now in the "Megg" room. You are
safe in here. The invulnerable Marines will not follow you in
here. Walk to the end of the room and look on the ceiling. You
will see a giant blob of blood stained on the ceiling with bullet
holes shot in it. The blood actually forms a heart, and the bullet
holes form the letter "M". The "M" stands
for Meg.
Shields
In level 1, there are some empty airlocks that the
Covenants have entered from. After killing the Covenants, go inside
to find two extra shields. These shields are better than your
normal shield protection.
Different messages from Marine captain
Depending on which difficulty setting you select, the
captain of the Marines says a different motivational speech. From
something soft in the easy setting, to something brutal with the
legendary setting.
Alternate view of lifeboat launch
At the place where you can see a lifeboat launch, go
as fast as you can and do not bother to stop. If you moved fast
enough, when you get to the airlock where the lifeboats launch,
quickly look through the first airlock to see it launch.

Security to the bridge
Immediately after you receive your pistol from Keyes
at the very start of the game, leave the room. Once you have ammunition
for the gun, return to Keyes and punch or shoot at him. After
that, security will be called to the bridge and you will have
yourself a shoot out with a security team, which you will surely
lose. After you die, all will be forgotten, and you will once
again be respected by everyone.
At the point where you get the pistol, get some ammunition then
return. Shoot Keyes, quickly jump down where the two people are
controlling the ship are, then duck and hide. Even if you turn
your flashlight on or off, or shoot your pistol, the Security
will not notice that you are hiding.
Invincible marines
In the first mission, when you get your pistol from
Keyes, go back to him. Melee attack him or shoot him. Cortana
will say something and call for backup. You might want to have
extra ammunition. The door to the right (when you are going back
out) will open, and lots of invincible Marines will appear and
attack you.
Quick helpers
Play this level under the legendary difficulty setting.
When you get your gun, peek at the corner where you first encounter
Grunts. Snipe them out in the corner. Next, enter the room in
front of you. Wait until your men are dead by waiting in the corner
of the room. More men will appear to kill the Elites. When they
do, the Elites will leave their backs wide open when they turn
around to kill the Marines. Rush up to the two Elites and hit
them in their backs, which will kill them. Next, throw grenades
by the other two doors, which will five you time to pick up the
Covenant weapons. Take the Plasma rifle and use it on the Covenant.
Then, continue with the level.
Intriguing posters
Before you enter the bridge, turn around. You should
see a bulletin board with posters. Some of them say "Marine
Scooters are for Squirts! No scooters on deck"; the lost
poster from the movie Alien that reads "LOST: Calico Cat.
Answers to the name Jonesy"; and a poster that shows earth
near the moon with "Fight For Her" at the bottom.
