Oni's first level is a warehouse and it is literally ''full'' of crates, barrels and containers. You can see a crate right from where you start the level (there are also crates in the training course, but not in the first room). | Oni's first level is a warehouse and it is literally ''full'' of crates, barrels and containers.

On the first crate you see in the Warehouse, there's a label saying "-OMM- TTC 1.1", meaning "Old Man Murray : 1.1 seconds to first crate" ( | {|align=left | ||

Actually a back-reference here. Oni doesn't refer to Halo, but [[wikipedia:Halo_(video_game_series)|Halo]] features an entity called [[wikipedia:Office_of_Naval_Intelligence_(Halo)|ONI]]. It stands for '''Office of Naval Intelligence'''. | [[Image:ArofaTamahn - That thing has too many HP.jpg|thumb|170px|right|Not really an easter-egg but somewhat related: a comic about Konoko and Master Chief]] | ||

A military intelligence service called the Office of Naval Inteligence [[wikipedia:Office_of_Naval_Intelligence|actually exists]] in the real world : it's the oldest continuously operating intelligence service in the United States (in operation since 1882). It seems likely that Halo develops on that longevity and tries to imagine what influence today's ONI would have in the 2550's. | A military intelligence service called the Office of Naval Inteligence [[wikipedia:Office_of_Naval_Intelligence|actually exists]] in the real world: | ||

There has been a lot of speculation around Halo's ONI, most of which you can see [http://halosm.bungie.org/story/oni.html HERE]. | There has been a lot of speculation around Halo's ONI, most of which you can see [http://halosm.bungie.org/story/oni.html HERE]. | ||

There are quite a few more-or-less hidden items or characters in Oni. However, few of them qualify as Easter eggs... as most of those are uncovered with a systematic exploration of the level, or by careful observation. | There are quite a few more-or-less hidden items or characters in Oni.

===Secret Striker=== | ===Secret Striker=== | ||
About the only "real" Easter egg in Oni is the secret Striker in Syndicate Warehouse. If you climb to the top floor in the first bay, then jump onto the forklift, a Striker will appear. When killed, he drops 3 items (hypo spray, phase cloak, force shield). The phase cloak and the force shield are otherwise not encountered before {{C3}}, and the secret Striker comes before the first Striker you see normally (after you find Chung). | About the only "real" Easter egg in Oni is the secret Striker in Syndicate Warehouse.

I can't think of any other "true" Easter egg such as that one. | I can't think of any other "true" Easter egg such as that one. | ||
