i have never really read much or looked into but what is thhis whole Easter Egg thing :-?

An easter egg in this context is something placed into the game by its makers that shouldn't be there. In SH3 there was a submarine under construction in the home ports, and underneath it were a couple of equipment crates with the logo of the band U-2 on them. In SH4 there are...well, that's what this thread is about.

You find them in almost every game, and it's a game in itself just to spot them and point them out to other players.

If you have a DVD of Star Wars Episode II (I think it is), when the ships are descending to the planet for the big battle if you freeze-frame it, through the window of one of the ships you can see the pilot is Homer Simpson. That's an easter egg.

That they didn't put Homer Simpsons name in the crew list of SH4 is unforgivable. :p :yep: :rotfl: :arrgh!:

HarHar... nice joke... but why Ubi didn't have done like they had promised ?:rotfl:

Did someone else found other eggs ?

Way necro, but this is a sticky. ;) Anyway, that's talking about Herr Oesten, the guy they got to help design SH III. You can see some of the videos with him here:

Pretty funny stuff. I got a screen capture of and will post later. The Flying Dutchman live!

The chief's belt buckle is a USMC one. Don't ask me why I had me head down there when I shift f-2'd.

Stock game puts you down there by default... Possibly a subliminal message?

"You can only ride on this sub if you are this tall!".

Thankfully most of the major mods place you at eye level. :rotfl:

Well if you start a new German career, the default name is;

"Bernard von Unfall" :rotfl:

Translated:

"Bernard von Accident":rotfl:

To me the Easter Egg is the included U-Boat Missions. At least that's what it says on the box. :huh: What missions? You would think UBI could come up with a few missions. :down: Its more like they added on SH III career mode. Its a shame that we have to depend on others or fabricate our own missions. UBI is a bunch of pirates.:arrgh!:

Do you never consider there would be no game to mod if Ubisoft hadn't created and developed then released the game in the first place. :hmm:
