343 Guilty Spark spends most of Halo 3 quietly assisting the Master Chief around the Ark and the replacement Halo, but the moment he realizes Johnson's attempt to fire the new ring will also destroy the installation and the Ark itself, he turns his defensive laser on the very allies he'd been helping, forcing the Chief to destroy him.
Remember Wirt, the peg-legged kid who overcharged you for gambling items in the first game? Click his corpse in Diablo II's Tristram and he drops his own severed leg, which you then need alongside a Tome of Town Portal to actually crack open the Secret Cow Level. Grim way to pay tribute to a character, but it works.
Infinity Ward wasn't built from scratch. It was founded in 2002 by a group of developers, including Vince Zampella and Jason West, who'd all just come off working on Medal of Honor: Allied Assault together at a different studio.
The whole idea of skipping five years ahead and showing everyone broken and scattered wasn't originally treated as the main plot. It started life as a side concept the writers jokingly called their "What If?" section back when they were first mapping out the two films.
Separate from the sunken submarine and its cash stash, there's an actual crashed UFO resting on the ocean floor near the northern edge of the map.

Keira Knightley had chopped her hair into a short pixie cut for the film Domino, and there simply wasn't time to grow it back before shooting started. So most of Elizabeth Swann's flowing locks in this one are actually extensions.
Find Ra's al Ghul's body bag in the Arkham Mansion and it's there plain as day. Head back to the Morgue later on, though, and it's simply gone - no cutscene, no explanation, just a quiet little reminder that a man who's cheated death countless times in the comics probably isn't done yet.
On a hill southwest of Crossroads in the Barrens sits a small shrine dedicated to an orc marked only with the initials 'M-K.' It honours Michel Koiter, a Blizzard illustrator who passed away during the game's development, a spirit healer named Koiter can be found nearby.
The clunky, armored Iron Might suit that shows up later in the series isn't just a random support-item design. Horikoshi grew up drawing giant robots, and the suit is basically his love letter to old-school mecha anime like Mashin Hero Wataru from his childhood.
