A cool little console easter egg.

Found this on Telstra's Gamearena forums.

1.) Go to singleplayer.
2.) Enter a cheat from the original Doom.
3.) Check the console. :)

Yeah, I saw that already. One of the first things I tried :)

I noticed this too but what im trying to figure out is what exactly the cheats do?

What...?

It does nothing but print a little message to the console.

Noob question I know but...What exactly is an easter egg? Just a treat or special feature hidden in a game?

An easter egg is basically a hidden joke or something put in the game/movie/program/tv show/whatever by it's creators for the hell of it.

An example of an Easter Egg is Romero's head in Doom 2.

Oh, ok. Thanks.

Or like the Doom/Ferrari chamber in Quake2.

Remember the original cheat codes for doom?

Type in :

iddqd (old god mode code)
idkfa (all weapons and keys IIRC)
idfa (i think this was only in doom2, gave weps but no keys)
noclip (still in doom3)

can't remember the rest

Heh I just got a fond memmory of useing doom2 cheats on Heretic. They all did the opposit of what they did in Doom2 it was pretty funny. So this one only puts osmething the console? thats disapointing.

i loved chicken mode is heritic


needless to say doom III is sure to be loaded with them. check the official easter egg thread
