i know not everyone likes an Easter egg, like Activision placing thier office in the game, i believe when you blew up the building it showed a phone number too, was pretty cool. i hope there will be some hidden surprises in this game as well.

Dear Mr Berg,

So... Easter eggs. C'mon, you know you put some in. Fess up!
Love,

Nope, none.. Starting with the 'hot coffee' snafu way back, there is essentially an industry wide ban on in-game easter eggs. Any project I've worked on within the last several years, for many different publishers (Activision, 2K, Square, EA, ec..) all have had explicit clauses in the contract that any and all easter eggs must be sent to the publisher for approval and testing; otherwise you're in explicit violation of the contract and are legally liable. Art can sometimes still sneak small things into textures; but code side easter eggs are pretty much a fire-able offence.

I've tried a few times in the past to get things included. Every time I've tried, publisher legal simply denied the request.

And there, from the horse's mouth... Karl Berg, PGI backend engineer.
