Halo: Reach Reach Racers

Halo: Reach Reach Racers                                                                 blogpost 10/10

Reach RACERS! Oni Sword Base's awesome Easter Egg! This Easter Egg requires at least 2 people and transports you to a different part of the level with 2 Gauss Warthogs for a race that'll send you through your paces.

No offense to my own writing ability but a video is a lot more helpful in guiding you on how to get this Easter Eggs. There is IGN's video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK7pRUtbyXw which is more helpful but less fun to watch and there is RoosterTeeth's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovafv-sxUQ8&list=SL which has a lot of funny commentary but is less detailed on where the important spots are.

PLAYER 1
Reach Racer, as I said before, is located on the ONI Sword Base mission. The points that are used to get the Easter Egg are on opposite sides of the map so be prepared. One person needs to go to the part where it says something about a generator near the beginning of the level. There should be 2 buildings near that location, eliminate all of the enemies there and start heading toward the bottom of the cliff near the shore by the second building. Jump onto the rocks and you will shortly drop a foot or two onto a slightly lower rock. Facing the cliff's drop-off there is a relatively small rock; go just a little bit to the left of that rock and look around and there will be an invisible switch! Our best buddies in finding these Easter Eggs. DO NOT Activate it yet.

PLAYER 2 (and any additional players you may have)
Continue through the level past another area that has a bunch of buildings swarming with Covenant. Defeat these enemies and continue to make your way on the main trail. You will pass through a small pond and then go up a small hill. There is a large boulder to your left. Jump on very top of it and go to the farthest rock away from the main trail. Look around for a little bit and there is another invisible switch! :D

BOTH PLAYERS
Activate the switches at the same time. You will see your new objective: Reach Racers (the name is based off of an old video game called "Ridge Racers"). In a few seconds you transport to the beginning of the level with 2 Gauss Warthogs! Pile in each of the Warthogs and battle it out racing through pre-determined checkpoints until you reach the final checkpoint. The first person there wins! ... And then the losers vehicle explodes. Have fun repeating the race as long as you like.
