Easter eggs? You might be right, I saw the Santa somewhere during December.

I mean really, have you been on drugs? Heh, would seem like you have :p

Either I don't know what your talking about, or it's the thing stated above, you choose :)

Senzu beans are the only object (aside from the dragonballs) that are hidden in this game. Other than that, there are no hidden easter eggs.

An Easter Egg refers to something hidden in a program. It differs from a cheat in that
a) it doesn't have to be in a game, and
b) it usually doesn't actually effect the playing of the game

For example, there was a way, if you went to a specific cell in Excel 97, and pressed a specific combination of keys, that a simple flight simultor would start.

From dictionary.com
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=easter egg
"<jargon> (From the custom of the Easter Egg hunt observed in
the US and many parts of Europe)

1. A message hidden in the object code of a program as a
joke, intended to be found by persons disassembling or
browsing the code.

2. A message, graphic, sound effect, or other behaviour
emitted by a program (or, on an IBM PC, the BIOS ROM) in
response to some undocumented set of commands or keystrokes,
intended as a joke or to display program credits.

One well-known early Easter egg found in a couple of
operating systems caused them to respond to the command
"make love" with "not war?". Many personal computers have
much more elaborate eggs hidden in ROM, including lists of
the developers' names (e.g. Microsoft Windows 3.1x),
political exhortations and snatches of music. The Tandy
Color Computer 3 (CoCo) had images of the entire development
team. Microsoft Excel 97 includes a flight simulator!"

hehe, cool, it used the same example as me. Hope that explains it for you Lynxy. And I didn't even have to be negative about it. ;)

*EDIT*
oh, and I meant to say, in relation to maps, it usually means, as Madd Dog said, a hidden room, which usually contains the sig or picture or name of the map maker. This room is sometimes accessible in the game, and sometimes only via a map editor.

Call it everything you want, if you ask anyone what's an easter egg is I'm sure you'd get the same anwer. If he would call it an object or an unknown thing to him, I might figure it out. I guess that answers his question.

Let's look for easter eggs! And no not those easter eggs! <_<

I haven't noticed or heard of any in esf... And if you ask any geek what an easter egg is they will tell you its a hidden bit of code that is activated under certain/rare conditions. Microsoft programmers are known to do it due to the fact that its boring to all hell to code and this lightens the work attitude a little bit.

Geeks are in every field of the world. They are the intelligent people that run businesses and do a wide variety of things. From bartending, computers, rocket science, and the dev team. To put down a geek is to admit you don't have what it takes to be one.

Watch it lynxy. I don't like your tone, and it's spam all the same.

Might of misunderstood it, but 'geek' has another meaning if you ask any Dutchie. And erm, I guess I picked the other one :/

Sorry, I guess.

There are many easter eggs in the official CS maps (quite a coincidence I found this thread, I'm looking at a site with many CS map easter eggs right now).
Most of them are hidden rooms that cannot be entered in the actual game, only viewed by flying through walls in spectator mode (You also find a lot of texture misalignments doing that too, but c'mon :p).
I'm not sure if any of the ESF mappers did anything like that, but I'm sure they'd tell you no if you asked, even if they did. ^.^

Intriguingly, I reviewed DMZ on my personal website once. It should be noted that the map designer went through all this trouble to texture and animate a nice room with couches and chairs built into it, and on the walls were posters of softcore porno.

I believe my review said something like, "this room is found in a map that has a square pond, a square hill, and a square cliff. Sounds like someone needs to redouble their efforts."

Sad thing is they guy proudly plastered his name all over that room...

So I don't know if there are any easter eggs in ESF like that, but I doubt it, because the ESF Team actually works on THE MOD ITSELF. It's a lot of work to code in easter eggs for no other reason than pointless humor, you know?

This team of developers is very disciplined and organized. Maybe down the road, but at the moment, nah, I doubt there are any.
