Despite being out for less than a week, players have already sunken their teeth intoHalo Infiniteextensively. Given the semi-open world nature of the game’s environments,Halo Infinitehas a lot of hidden content for players to discover. Although, some secrets can surface simply by playing the game normally, as one player recently came to find out.
A commonality seen throughout essentially every installment in theHaloseries is Easter Eggs that most often relate back to inside jokes or memes seen throughout the fan community. For instance,Halo Infinitecontains a number of references toRed Vs. Blue, the popularHaloparody series produced by Rooster Teeth that has been going on for almost as long asHaloitself. However, this newly discovered Easter Egg involves a much more recent meme.

A Reddit user named D3DW0DonPC found a piece of dialogue where an NPC encounters a Brute with a weird, deadpan look in his eye. The NPC then explains that he has taken to calling the Brute “Greg.” This is clearly in reference to the famousCraig meme, which first began after theHalo Infinitegameplay showcase that occured last year. The meme depicted a Brute with an inexpressive look on his face.
It’s amazing to see just how much 343 Industries has leaned into theHalocommunity’s littany of jokes and memes. The Craig meme in particular has been the focus of several Easter Eggs withinHalo Infinite. In fact, in addition to this in-game exchange, there’s arock inHalo Infinitethat’s shaped like Craig’s head.
In any case, it’s interesting how much the decision to include open-world gameplay has affected various aspects ofHalo Infinite’sin-game content. In previous installments, Easter Eggs like the ones seen inHalo Infinitewere not nearly as frequent, due to the linear nature of the missions. Considering that themissions inHalo Infiniteare built around open-world gameplay, it allows for more secret in-game content.
Many players have enjoyed whatHalo Infinitehas to offer so far. Despite various issues withHalo Infinite’sbattle pass, there’s a lot for players to appreciate about the game. Then again, there’s still a lot of content that has yet to be added to the game, such as Forge mode and other changes made to the multiplayer. With any luck, more content will be added toHalo Infinitein the months to come.
Halo Infiniteis available for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
