Easter Eggs

[AHadley]

I was trawling through data.pak the other day, and discovered two maps I hadn't used before...

BZ2001.bzn
demo01.bzn

BZ2001 seems to cause a massive (and I mean massive) crash, which opens the error log at least twenty times (enough to take the alt-tab window to three rows) and then completely locks up the system, whilst demo01 is a replica of the BZ2 demo map - complete with rocket tank, spire, guardians, and weapons... though there are no mission-specific objects (probably because I loaded it in PB4a editor which disabled the DLL).

I know you guys have discovered them before, but I just wanted to ask if these maps have ever actively been enabled or used in standard play before, and just generally ask about any other easter eggs you guys may have been found.

I already know about the singing tree and the son's photo, by the way.

Easter Eggs? Photo? Singing trees? Hidden maps? I never knew about this before... can someone make a list for me?

They work best in 1.2, I think. Ill add you on MSN if I can and walk you through it

There is an incomplete comet for Pluto with an ice ball gun in the data.pak

"singing tree"?

[Feared_1]

Can someone please tell me how to find all of these? :O

I've never known about any of them, and they sound FUN!

[AHadley]

For the tree, look up Brad Pickering on BZComplex. It's somewhere in the mission where you have to rescue Shabayev, and it sings Itsy Bitsy Spider... I think.

wtfi never found that haha?

[AHadley]

Nor did I, I didn't know about any of these either until the other day. I discovered the maps while looking through the .pak for something else.

Woah! Its a little kid singing it! Is this actually in a mission or is it something Paramatic Studios put in there randomly?

[AHadley]

It's the mission on Mire where you rescue Shabayev and capture the Alchemator... I think.

[Nielk1]

I await confirmation of the singing tree.

[Feared_1]

There are a lot of places on a map... maybe more specific?

Maybe a birdseye of the level with a drawn location?
