I know they asked for ideas a while ago, and I know this took a while for this one to occur to me, but...

Rick-rolling marines...

- perhaps even doing their own little boogie dance to "never going to give you up" when they lock down a hive

    Rickrolling isn't an Easter egg.

    If anything the Easter eggs should be related to old sci-fi games and stuff + valve games.

    that's not really an easter egg if it plays whenever you get a hive down... would be an annoying ass feature. plus they'd have to license the song which isn't worth the money.

    easter eggs should be something we don't know about unless we explore for them on our own. it should be dev's only who come up with the idea and put them in how they want, not the players.

    if the command chair gets down with both entire teams in the marine base: "game over man! game over!"

    if you're the welder, and already repaired 600 points, there is a 10% chance of hearing: "glorious Nanites!"

    When a skulk is nearby a marine in heavy armor who does not move for 10 seconds, the skulk would say "Klaatu barada nikto". If the marine does not move within another 2 seconds, it would make the marine unable to move at all, and vulnerable to attack.

    When an onos stands on a marine without attacking him for 5 seconds, the marine would say "Take your stinking hoofs off me, you damn dirty onos!".

    When a marine stands under a completed hive for 15 seconds without moving or attacking, the marine would say "I thought these things smelled bad from the outside".

    When a marine build bot is given a medpack, it says "I rarely use it myself sir, it promotes rust".

    If a Marine is attacking a Hive Structure with a Gorge nearby the Gorge would go "Marine sappin mah structa!"

    A more funny thing would be with a map that has a very common used vent next to a rock/cave surface to have etched into the rock or graffitid "Lork On Teh Clorf". A long hallway with a slight curver on the end is also mandatory. Glass not optional(lol).

    I think if 75% or more of the Marine team die within 10 seconds inside the same Hive Room, the Hivemind voice should say, "This place is a mess!!!". Stay to the classics.

    I just hope mappers go with the readyroom eastereggs before release. Later on they can remove them for release with game... But you put a lot of work in the map ... Atleast let them have a sandbox in the readyroom :)
