Boat Easter Egg on "The Storm"
From Halopedia, the Halo Wiki
In Halo 3, on the level The Storm, there is a large boat on the lake bed, in the area where you have to destroy the Scarab and AA Wraiths. The boat is beached on the bottom of the lake bed due to the Covenant's excavation of the Ark Portal. The digging has caused the lake's water to drain, leaving the boat stuck.
To get in the ship, you need to be in Co-Op. Have one person in a Ghost. Then go up the ramp you came from. Look to the left, there is a lamp. To the right of the lamp there is a gap. Position the Ghost so that it can boost out the hole towards the ship. Jump on the Ghost and and get your partner to boost out the hole. About halfway to the ship, jump off the Ghost. If you jumped at the right time, the Ghost's speed should keep you going so you land on the ship. There is a easier way to see this Easter Egg, you just need to go to the theater, press Y so you can move freely and get into the boat with the camera. And as another way, you can use the Flying Dumpster Glitch, which may (if you're lucky), lead you onto the ship.
[edit] Trivia
- In one of the galleys is a fuzzy poster of someone in an old colonial uniform from the 1700's.
- "Pimps at Sea" was also on display when Bungie played an earlier version of Halo 3 online, while still in the testing phase.
- If viewed from behind, the ships stern bears a resemblance to Master Chief's Mark VI helmet. Whether this is intentional or not has not yet been confirmed.
- The poster also has the caption "Shiek of the Sea". This is a reference to Bungie worker Shi Kai Wang, who runs by the nickname, Shiek.
