Spartan Ops Easter Eggs

Roses vs Violets Achievement

In Halo 4's Spartan Ops mode, there are various Red vs. Blue easter eggs hidden within radios throughout the various Spartan Ops episodes.

Description

Certain episodes of Spartan Ops' first season have hidden UNSC radios. Shooting these radios will cause them to play Red vs. Blue's opening theme. In addition, as a consequence of triggering the easter egg, dialogue from key moments of a chapter will include humorous dialogue from the series' cast. Finding one of these easter eggs will award the Roses vs Violets achievement.

While Crimson is defending the artifact.

• Commander Palmer: "Fireteam Castle, this is Commander Palmer. I need an ETA on clear skies."

Recording ends. Crimson activates the third.

• Grif: "Hey, Simmons? What do you think this thing does?"

• Simmons: "Grif! You ruined the surprise! You have no flair for the dramatic."
• Grif: "They're in battle, idiot! How dramatic do you want it to get?"

Rally Point

When Crimson reaches the waterfront tower.

Pause.

Pause

Pause.

Spartan Thorne

When the equipment drop comes.

• Sarge: "I heard you need a lift, but all we've got are these guns. I suppose you could assemble some kind of gun-like vehicle with the parts... But who knows what the insurance rate would be on that bad boy."

Several Gravity Hammers marked "Sports equipment" are dropped.

• Sarge: "Dammit, Grif! You dropped the cargo! Now how are we supposed to play Grifball?"
• Grif: "I think the bigger question is, why was a military vehicle sent into battle with sports equipment?"

Shut Down

After Crimson has reached the nukes.

• Sarge: (mocking voice) "This is Corporal Switchback to Infinity!"
• Commander Palmer: "Go ahead, Switchback."
• Sarge: "Hey Infinity, is your slipspace drive running? Because you'd better go catch it!"
• Commander Palmer: "Crimson, you're the closest responder. Fall out and help Switchback."
• Grif: "Babba bouy! Babba bouy!"

Engine of Destruction

When Crimson disables the warhead in the server room.

Energy sword.

Seize the Power

When Crimson is about to board the Lich.
