Well this is an interesting easter egg… it looks like there might be a samurai sword in Halo 3… not confirmed to be a usable weapon, but maybe just for “looks only”. At least that is what these screenshots of player PaCMaYNE suggest:
Also inSpire blog did a pretty good job dispelling the possibilities of it being a Photoshopped shot, namely because these are in-game Bungie-hosted shots from the players games… not some personal images the player uploaded. If you are interested in tracking the phenomenon yourself and seeing if folks can dig up how the easter egg is uncovered, you can track the thread here.

Jeff not sure honestly… I’ve never seen anyone playing with it except for these rumors that popped up *right* after the game came out =/

Yes to above, my buddy has it and still needs to get lots of the piont metagame achievements and still doesn’t have the 2 for 1 kill with laser and he has it? Whats going on?

yes now i have over 1000 too and I still don’t have it and it’s a common glitch, but you can use the new achievements to get it but alot of people have glitches and it won’t let them wear it therefore destroying their beliefs.
