The Vidmaster Road to Recon

For years, the coveted Recon Armour wasn't something you could simply unlock in-game. Getting it meant completing a brutal set of Vidmaster Challenges spread across Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST, things like finishing a level solo on Legendary without ever firing a shot or throwing a grenade. Complete them all and Bungie would grant you the Armour through their 'Road to Recon' program on Bungie.net.

Destiny's First Easter Egg Predates the Game

Years before Destiny released, an advertising billboard reading 'Destiny Awaits' appeared in Bungie's Halo 3: ODST, complete with an image of Earth and what looks like the Traveler hovering above it, an early, subtle tease of the studio's next project.

Skulls You Could Only Find in Forge

Alongside the classic campaign skulls, Bungie hid a separate set of skulls exclusively inside Forge-enabled multiplayer maps like Sandbox, Assembly, and Orbital, later expanding the hunt with three more skulls on maps added by Halo 3: ODST. These didn't unlock cheats like the campaign skulls did, but collecting all of them triggered its own dedicated achievement.
