There is also another 2033 reference in the intro where you just climb down into the metro. Stand by the pipes for a moment and you will hear the laughter of children. This is reference to the ghost level with Khan in 2033 as he says to listen to the pipes but not for to long.
I both love and hate that part in 2033. It's so intimate, but so creepy.
damn i wanna like your comment but its at 69 likes rn
The audio book is proper horror if you listen to it by kerosene lamp light
Me being the curious fella I am I stood by the pipes for too long and a ghost came out of the wall to attack me.
The dark ones also often used voices of children playing to try to convey that they just wanted peace
I still wonder why Artyom didnt take some of the Admiral's tea with him to Anna, if it cures all sicknesses.
It cures all sicknesses because its radioactive.
Radiation kinda kills things if you havent noticed.
@@pal1d1nl1ght he was being sarcastic
If you haven't noticed
Judging by the effect it has on him ie, slurred speech, sending him into a deep sleep, the stuff the Admiral is smoking and drinking is an opiate, probably from the poppies he's cultivating on the rooftop outside his hut.
It doesn't cure anything, it just makes you not feel it or care about it anymore.
i remember him also saying it'll help with any marital problems and i was like "can cure my wife's tuberculosis?"
He also states that he "tripled the dosage" which resulted in death of his comrades.
You missed
“I hate Sand, it’s rough and course and it gets everywhere” or something like that
Yeah i remember finding that one and couldnt help myself from laughing.
There is also an Apocalypse Now reference to Colonel Killgore by Sam after the assult in sandstorm ("smells like victory") and possibly a Fallout reference to Liberty Prime made by Sam as well (patriotic robot powered by nuclear reactors patrolling the NATO occupation base).
Yeah that ones in Caspian right after the water truck is attacked and you wake up to everyone fighting
Where's it from. I only remember that from a game called hearts of iron 4
@@Moose236 Star Wars
Why doesn’t anyone notice the fallout reference in the vaiga, when Sam talks about the giant bipedal mechs Americans have that run on nuke power
Wait really?
Yes I caught it wasnt it on the train
I think he says that after you leave the bunker where Anna fell .
And you will get some burguers in the base
That could be Metal Gear.
That last one was probably the most disturbing by far with the baby
proberly because some companys dont like dead children in games so a workaround mabe??
Look at the shape of the head. It looks like a baby gorilla, aka a baby Blind One.
@@galahad3195 isnt it called the dark ones?
Because they're not blind i dont remember anyone ever saying that they are blind
@@Slightlycamouflaged hes talking about the librarian things
@@galahad3195 I felt like they were made to hostile compared to their direct counterparts the librarian. But other than that I enjoyed the level.
In the DLC "Sam's Story" two people at a radio are having a discussion that mainly consists of lines directly ripped from the song "Space Oddity" by David Bowie.
Space Odessy
You missed the conversation between Miller and Anna on the train about having Children when Anna says something like ''What would you do with a grandson teach him CQC'' to which Miller replies ''No Dual Wielding Pistols'' now if that is not an obvious Metal Gear Solid reference especially when you consider that miller used to be a GRU colonel !
Xavier Lignieres : what's a GRU?
@@cypresswillow2591 Russian Spec Ops Command
But that's revolver ocelot not miller
BreezySilver are you stupid that’s the reference my man, Miller is supposed to be “revolver ocelot”
The reference being GRU or SPETSNAZ / Metal Gear Solid 3 introducing CQC. Metal Gear Sold had REVOLVER OCELOT Dual Wielding Single Action Revolvers in MGS3 in the Cold War era. Ocelot was a Major in MGS3. Volgin was a Colonel. Both in GRU.
12:15 that’s an Easter egg of the ending! Kirill’s hat and the military hat of colonel miller driving...
Damn nice catch
Can you drive ??
Lmao thats some good catch
Nice catch man
Yeees!!
Damn son, observant.
7:04 So valve wanted to make Half-Life 3 with Freeman traveling into the future but they accidentaly sent him into the post-apocalyptic Moscow only with a crowbar. Makes sense
Its post apocalyptic kaspian sea...
@@brushboss99 Freemans skeleton is found in Metro 2033 so it is definitely in Moscow.. did you not watch the video?
brushboss99 the caspian body is Eli Vance dude, did you not watch the entire part mentioning the prosthetic leg?
HHGahHahahagah
I'm pretty sure Gordon's first and last words were "Help me Gabe, I'm stuck here in Moscow. Don't you care about me?!"
6:05
Two couches and an old tv in a desert.
This is also a "The Matrix" easter egg.
Maybe also a reference to the movie "The Ring".
it's both
A matrix and ring easteregg witha metro theme ey??
Metro Exodus absolutely destroyed my GPU but still one of the greatest survival FPS i've ever played.. hell it even nailed the survival horror aspect much better than certified horror games like REVillage. and these amazing easter eggs are a testament to the love and dedication behind this game. Sadly the Metro series didn't receive enough attention...
Honestly? I won't recommend this game to ANYONE that play re series as survivor horror. This game is.
Non braindead A.I is a chef kiss for me. For hardcore and ranger difficulty of course.
i have a 2013 gpu and it worked well with lowest graphics, why didn't it work for you ?
@@ilianb306 For real, it's one of the best optimized games ever. My 1050ti played it on very high 1080p at 50fps. I was shook.
How this game can destroy a GPU if it runs at 100+ fps with 4090 in 4k...
There was a dialogue easter egg in reference to Anakin hating sand.... One of the characters literally says "I hate sand, its rough, coarse, and it.... well it gets everywhere."
I cant remember exactly who said it though.
It was Tokarev as he and Duke were cleaning their weapons… i think it was during the train travel after the Caspian level
I noticed that as well
@@RogerOGT also Anna says it, once you get to the caspian, literally it´s one of the first thing she says lol
@@RogerOGT
Sam also says it
Yeah lol I saw this! I loved exodus’s atmosphere so much I listened to basically every conversation, train and in each chapter, so I caught a lot of the funny references.
So this confirms the theory that the commander actually was helped by dark one when he mentions that he doesnt know he found him
yeah, and remember on the last light ending, the dark ones leave, but they said they will be back...
There's a theory that the dark one has bieng with artyom during all the exodus, Artyom calls them angels at the end of LL, the little one is artyom guarding angel, he saves him in the end and they say the Annas he sees during the last mission in death city are alusinations made by the dark one to move him into the right direction. And yes, they communicate telepathicly with Miller and take him to artyom
There better be another metro game
JACKSON FOSHEE I’ll help you
Expect the next Metro game to see a return of the Dark Ones, and hopefully old characters. The writer of the books will be writing the story for the next game. Personally, I'd like to see Khan and Pavel return, Bourbon would be a nice addition but it's still not solid if he's alive or not.
In taiga near a bridge there are some boats and dead guys and one of them has a bucket on his head and arrow in his knee
"Until I took an arrow in the knee" haha
@@geronimo5537 And stealing from a merchant by putting a bucket on his/her head
Could you please be more specific which bridge exactly? I've searched the entire map 3 times and I can't find that.
well that look a like far cry4
kacpi26 So, my bad its not a bridge but something like a dam and you can find right at the start of the level go onto the main road and take a right you should see it
Little dark one was squating. Real russian haha.
Xaxa blyad
Also in the Volga area you can find Bar where are shot bandits-gamblers and hiding behind bar bartender who surrenders and among other phrases speaks "bartender never gets killed" (Desperado)
At 12:15 the dolls in the car are the colonel and his son Kirill that you encounter near the end of the game, and who's backstories are revealed in "The two colonels" DLC. You can tell by their hats
At 12:10, each doll wears a hat from one of the 2 children you add to your crew during the game, Kirill and Nastya.
WOW
: btw how come we never heard what happened to Kirill's dad? I can only assume he's dead...
@@cypresswillow2591 Kirill says that when Miller joined up with him he called his dad a hero. Obviously he's dead if he had been of the air for 3 weeks and miller got to the satcom in less than a day and came back. Cant imagine any other solution
@@lmaoheckdeee9889 Also, on the train ride to Novosibirsk (AKA The Dead City) you can tune the radio in to Kirill trying to communicate with his dad. I'd advise against it though if you don't want to collapse into a puddle of despair.
In soviet union everyone had the same shit. Hats, cars, whatever you would like to say. These hats looking very similar to the clothing from those times, so i think it is logical for things like that to be same. Isnt fucked up tho? hahah
Man, you forgot about the Fallout 4 easter egg, when you save Anna, you can hear Damir asking Sam how they can identify an american base (or something like that), and then Sam says "There are these huge humanoid robot with stars and stripes and nuclear reactors up his ass" and in Fallout 4 you have Liberty Prime that sits in front of the Brotherhood base, prety much what Sam described
Even earlier. Fallout 3 had Liberty Prime actually throwing larger mini nukes at Enclave.
In Metro universe the war started in 2013. So maybe Sam got the chance of playing Fallout 3 or even New Vegas to know such reference.
It's more of a fallout 3 Easter egg honestly
One reference that non Russians might have missed is the name of the train itself, Avrora. In one conversation between the mates on the train, Idiot said something about the name Avrora being about a certain cruiser and that he will tell others about that cruiser later. This is a reference to SN Avrora, a Russian cruiser warship. She has great historical significance to the Russian people. She took part in Russo-Japanese war in Imperial Russian Navy. Then during the October Revolution, Bolsheviks seized control of the ship and fired their 152mm gun to signal the assault on the winter palace. And during WWII, she put up a valiant last stand at port during the siege of Leningrad.
Miller also says we must return to the "ship" in one of the end game moments. I was unsure why he said that and maybe they saw it as a land ship or to justify that Captain's on ships can actually marry people. But your detailing Pancakes makes a better reference overall.
About that bottle in the 1991s archives: each slot is a month, then the bottle in august 1991 refers to the Ukrainian independence. You get the "Decommunization" achievement for destroying Lenin statue.
Rogelio Plata, I think it refers to the putsch in (back then) Russian SFSR, when a group of KGBsts and party members tried to overthrow Gorbatschow’s regime and take control of the USSR. After this putsch, Yeltsin got recognition among the people and that helped him to become a president. And as already stated in the video, Yeltsin is mostly associated with his alcoholism problem by Russians.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Soviet_coup_d'%C3%A9tat_attempt?wprov=sfti1
Ukraine got its independence in August that year, after this putsch.
Every post Soviet country got independence that year it has no sense, it about Yeltsin
@@shurik8550 And everything thereafter went completely to pot.
Україна та Укаїнці - сила!!!
The metro exodus soundtrack is so good tho
Right? I love the guitar riff
especially the “28 days later” theme for the trailer
Theres another Dark One you missed
The Dead City has one in the boat section after you get through the leech nest. When your paddling down the tunnel exposed to the surface with the light at the end and supernatural starts happening, when you hear a train and right before you black out you can spot the Little Dark One up top of the tunnel..
Really?! I heard there was 3 dark one sightings, glad to know if the 3rd, there also a theory that the little one was helping you throughout the dead city
@@theoneandonlysp These hallucinations that Artyom faced during Novosbirsk, was it really caused by the Blind Ones (They actually talk in Artyom's mind when close) or extreme radiation?
7:03 Oh Mr.Freeman,that's why you can not return in Half-life 3.
It's a reference
@@justfrog_ and a Good one
Because he's dead :(
Thats millers character model tho. The outfit
I dont see how having a fucking crowbar makes it a half life refernce
6:30 was the best part almost in the whole game. Nothing but adrenaline rush esp if you didnt pick brighter flashlight yet.
really
To me, going up the dam in taiga or the putrid tunnels in dark city were wayyyy worse. especially because with the flame ammo of the tikhar makes it incredibly easy.
That car you showed at 12:18 looks like a reference to the final mission when youre driving that kid away from novasibirsk
Exactly. It's kid and colonel
Novosibirsk*
Kirill
@@Freedom_Aviators yeah I know his name
I saw the rabbits on a boat and it made me laugh so much.
Edit: i also didn’t stay in the archives room cause i hate the spider levels, i was scared the whole time down there.
Mutants scare the shit out of me
I loved that mission holy ship it was so creepy and had such a good atmodsphere
In "Volga" after you save Anna from the bunker she falls into, stay and listen to the two Spartans talk about the enemy. The one talks about their bases and how they have robots with nukes in them, and how the "burgers, fries, and shakes" are amazing. Fallout reference.
Yeah, Sam spoke about it to Damir..
Charge your flashlight damn lol
I was looking at his Ashot and wondering why he's committing shotgun blasphemy by not equipping the quad-barrel mod.
@@PlebNC ammo conservation.
@@pal1d1nl1ght I don't understand your response. It's an immutable law of the universe that if your shotgun can have more barrels, you must equip them. It's like not using the underbarrel grenade launcher on an assault rifle or singing Ride of the Valkyries while shooting an aircraft mounted machine gun. You just do it.
@@PlebNC the only time you use less barrels is when you have too little ammo. That way, you get to hear more booms.
@@pal1d1nl1ght I'm more of a "fire 1 shot and watch the corpse ping into the stratosphere" kinda shotgunner while casually reloading.
SPOILERS:
However the Gordon freeman Easter Egg may be foreshadowing unto the death of Miller at the end. It has two prosthetic metal legs like Miller and dies in a similar position to how he does at the end. He doesn't obviously die from the spiderbugs but his outfit is the exact replica of what Miller wears in Novosibursk. Just food for thought.
Costume is not Millers its Artems (you can see it in the end) Miller does not have orange things
@@Wol1p
Look at how Miller is dressed on Aurora at the end of Moscow chapter.
@@r0zben I have seen it, Artem have orange on his suit, Miller Doesn't...
@@Wol1p
Are you sure?
th-cam.com/video/7_Qar4Z0ttQ/w-d-xo.html
(first video from the search list)
Yes, in Novosibirsk Miller's suit isn't orange, but in Caspian chapter we dont know what will happen in Novosibirsk. Thats why Miller is shown as we have seen him before, for example, in Moscow.
There are a lot of things foreshadowing the ending of the game including Duke saying that he has the same blood type as you at the Volga after you watch the catfish eat your rowboat
To be honest you're probably right and the half-life and it's just a bunch of people over thinking you look carefully you will see a lot more foreshadowing than then you could possibly think has if everyone on the train already knows how the end of the game is going to go
I felt bad for the lonesome Admiral, that's why I listened to him, have his tea, and played the guitar until he slept away. Also the tune played on the guitar was quite nice though.
Those red armchairs and that TV where the dark one appears, also reminded me of that Matrix scene where Morpheus tells Neo about "the desert of the real"
The guards getting nervous dialogue might be a skyrim reference because when you approached a guard with you weopon drawn the guard would sometimes say "A guard will get nervous if some approaches with there weopon drawn"
You see, the guards are, young men.
i dont think so, is just common sense.
Great video man! I actually came across a small Easter egg that I haven’t seen anyone else show yet. In the swamp part before you take the boat over to the admirals area, there’s a small Easter egg in one of the cabinets in a boat. There’s 13 baby dolls sitting down at a table, It looks like a reference to Jesus and his 12 disciples.
I stayed with the admiral for an hour while playing the guitar for him
1986 - almost all the wall calendars in the game hosts this date. A year of nuclear disaster in Chernobyl (Ukraine).
There's another one: at the beginning of the Taiga Level, there is a sign that shows the direction to "солнечный" that's a place in DayZ too.
Glad I'm not the only one who realized that Half-Life reference.
The breathing baby was probably one of the most disturbing things in the entire game.
Nice to know the dark ones are still watching over Him
10:30 Not to mention the fact that the voice actor of the admiral you meet in Taiga also voiced Alucard in the anime Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate.
There's a moment when I think Miller says "Not just the men, but the women and the children too"
He does, If I remember correctly.
The quote goes "not just the men and women, but the children and babies too" so it could just be a rough russian to english translation of that
so that was a Dark one in the Dark City i was expecting them to show up at some point so i was looking out for them then i saw that out of the corner of my eye and that was the only time i saw it so i thought i imagined it
There is another easter egg at the hill where you fight for the first time the massive bear. After you fight him you are able to climb the leader up. Before you climb up watch right long away to the hills and you will see something big like Godzilla in the mountains.
What do you mean?
"I need you to out that weapon away. Guards getting nervous" that's a Skyrim reference
Best easter egg is radio messages
On location winter we can hear
Victor Tsoi songs
One radio programm with weather news and only one soung(cause it my favorite and i dont have any other)
Many dialogues of Ganza soldiers(cause they talkes about train that we destroyed) on three radio frequencies.They talking abiut a convoy of armored cars that moving to their position
Also at the very right frequency we can hear a boy(mybe 13 y.o) that will die from guardians
D
D
before the last chapter when you leave the train, there is an easter egg to the 300 movie when tokarev refers to the quote: "come back with your shield or on it"
and no one noticed it :D
Holzbrett Actually it’s an Spartans quote(the actual Spartans), not only for 300.
I don't think anyone has noticed this one yet. During the last train ride on the way to Novosibirsk/Akademgorodok if you stand on the right side of the train and watch things go by. There's a slave from the Caspian standing beside the tracks on a train platform, next to a sign that looks like it says БАТАДИ(?)
I noticed that too but couldnt find any info about it.That was weird.
You lier
Literally just go look? Stand on the right side of the train and wait. The scenery is on a loop. He's maybe 10 meters off the side of the track standing on a loading platform.
Wait so if the Dark one was in the desert with Artyom and the other one was in the Dead City, were they always following him throughout the game? Also, was it the anomalies and radiation making Artyom hallucinate or was it the dark ones making him hallucinate to keep him alive long enough to finish his mission?
I found a basement room in the Volga near where you find that mechanic and in it is a dead mutant leaned up against the door and a rabbit with glowing red eyes that made a spooky sound then disappeared.
Monty Python
Maybe the kid you find is the dark one, you never find his father... and there's no way he survived that long by himself
Also in the first mission after you get rescued by your squad from the mutants and you get checked by the doctor in that building there is a Kid that has the same clothes as the kid in the last mission even looks similar.. the kis tells artyom if he has found a safe place out there.
no thats a reference to the book 2035 @@ghillie7897
@@apollomars1678 ahhh nice nice
And, how hasn't he toppled over from radiation?
Play the two colonels
What i find most interesting is the plot of the game, he goes from a swamp to a dessert then a forster and then a town with snow, its like he is going from autumn to summer to spring and to winter, like reversing time, to live again like the old times.
In Volga, behind the train depot (Where the passenger car is) surrounded by water, is a building with dead bodies and medical equipment. After entering, everything goes blurry, but on the wall you will see the shadow of a Dark one. It eventually disappears, and you can see everything clearly.
There's an easter egg referencing Fallout, where Sam (I think) mentions that the Americans have big mechs that run on nuclear power, don't know if he was talking about liberty prime from Fallout 3 and 4 or power armor which run and used fusion cores for them to work properly
also when the baron says "Put your weapon away, you're making the guards nervous" could be a reference to stalker as well. because every time you were in a friendly location and had your weapon out they'd tell you to "Put your shooter away"
Or it's something people just say when you have a gun drawn in general. Seriously guys: just because someone said something in a game or film doesn't mean it's a reference. Sometimes it's just sh*t people say.
8:25 I knew this was a Easter egg 😂👌🏼 just found it while playing.
I see Half-Life so i come here
Me to
Skyrim
Me 2!
Me 3!
Me 4 !
In Novosibirsk, a blind gorilla attacked Artem on the roof (when Artem climbed the stairs). In the Russian dubbing, the gorilla says (after about 2 minutes of searching for Artem): Dark One is here.
I think at 7:03 the corpse is actually a foreshadowing of Colonel Miller's fate. The corpse has two prosthetic legs and is wearing his outfit at the start of the train journey.
That Dark One easter egg in Dead City pissed me off so much! I saw the Dark One and the I started hearing the voice and I was thinking "Yes! The they're going to help me!" But no! you had to deal with those blind fuckz instead!
I love that the dark ones follow you in the shadows, like after you saved them they are your guardian angel following you around.
Robisz dobrą robote 👍
For me the "Little Party" easter egg (the two toys in the car) is a reference to the finale of the game, when artyom and the boy are in the van. The hat of the boy is identical of the one the doll is wearing.
You missed the star wars reference.
The line with the sand right?
Yeah the one Tokarev says after leaving Caspian because of all the sand there.
@@YaBoiFetz yep
Lol that's really an eater egg? Cool. I just heard the line and star wars in mind immediately 👌😎
I was about to comment the sane thing
the gorgeous freeman can never die.
This has always been my favorite Easter egg channel
There’s another two stalker references
1: kirrell the little kid mentions stalkers who come to trade things of interest to his father at the end of the game.
2: not long after meeting kirrell, on your way past his little home station you pass through a series of checkpoints that are littered with empty stations and dead bodies. Continue onwards and head downstairs to the deserted gun merchants and you can find boxes with items in them that closely resemble or are a replica of the gear that stalkers wore in the S.t.a.l.k.e.r series. ( gas mask, green suit and what appears to be a breathing tank )
Good game, I finished him yesterday (i got the bad ending 😢)
also, when the boys clean their weapons in the train after the desert, one of them says : "I hate sand. It's rough, (dunno the line) and it gets everywhere"
Zajebisty kanał 👍
@Joker 2006 h
12:10 i think that blue car is a reference to Chernobyl, the 2 brothers actually came back and took pictures with the vehicle more than 3 decades after their evacuation
so much details that i even look
ty for the video!!
Dobra robota stary :)
Wow. I never knew that about the rabbits floating. I always noticed it and knew there had to be some significance to it, just didn't know what. I never noticed them getting eaten though. That was disheartening. R.I.P. Rabbits
I wonder if the dark ones will return in a future dlc for the game
probably in the next game,they said no more books only games from now on
Maybe last easter egg with the baby refers to the child-creature in Last Light - I've forgot his name. Nice collection of easter eggs. It was very interesting to see what I didn't notice during my first run.
Ah....the last game for metro trilogy series. i got good ending, but hate to say goodbye for artyom
It is the end of the book Trilogy. But not Metro.
@@geronimo5537 DOU. En serio man? Ya no puedo esperar a que saquen un juego en donde muestran la colonia que hacen o algo asi
Loved that game. Just finished it, now to finish the other character stories
Nobody seemed to notice this which i am surprised about. Very interesting though.🤔
At the end of The Two Colonels DLC, when Colonel Miller is opening the gate into the area where Colonel Khlebnikov is sitting with the map, for a brief second, you can see this really really quick shadow on the left side of your screen. It's very hard to see non the less. But with the right game brightness, and adding slow motion, it looks exactly like a black humanoid figure. It is walking backwards towards the door Colonel Miller is opening. Immediately I thought "It's another Dark One easter egg!" But it doesn't really look like a Dark One in my opinion. Maybe it's Colonel Miller's shadow? I don't quite know. But if it was a dark one, this would make perfect sense for the theory of Colonel Miller being guided by a Dark One to Artyom at the ending of the orignal game. What do you guys think?
Finally im been waiting for this
Anime: I’m sorry
Me: don’t be sorry, be better
Hollywood: what about me?
Me: you fucking Hollywood
really great stuff. congrats man
Great work. Love all your videos! Big up
When even other developers do a half life ref wating for a new one xd
1:23 I was having fun with that guy though...I screenshot him and made him my Wallpaper... didn't knew he's one of the developers
Like, every other book is either Metro 2033/2034/2035. It's like the most famous book series in Russia or smth.
13:09 God of War?! 😲
A awesome game like Metro exodus give respect to another awesome game like God of war
@@wanderingcommenter4638 exactly !!!
Yall reachin
@@higoodbye7002 yeah I really don't think that was a gow egg
There's also ghosts of kids/people towards the end when you and Anna's father go out on a mission together through the tunnels passing all the dead people
The Hares on the raft could also be a reference to the Movie/Book Watership Down
Amazing video man
good job man
It may have been mentioned way down the comment list but at 7:21 it's the opposite leg of Eli.
Look closely, both legs are prosthetic
7:20 Personally I interpreted the corpse as Foreshadowing. Didn't even recognize the crowbar, but I did recognize the outfit as one that the Rangers have worn, plus the prosthetic legs, and figured it was meant to foreshadow Miller's fate. Could very well be Half-Life as well, though.
yeah i think its forshadowing
First time I saw the baby breathing in the stroller, I was thinking it was a reference to the mutant baby from David Lynch's Eraserhead. The film was massively popular in Soviet countries, and was actually inspired by Russian writer Nikolai Gogol's work. However, it could even be a reference to a scene in the original Stalker film where a corpse in the chamber connecting to the "room" can be heard still breathing. OR, possibly a reference to the real life story of Baby Alyoshenka.
There's also that dialogue from Tokarev in Summer, where he complain about sand in guns, using the exact sames words than Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones. When I heard this line, I just paused the game and burst out laughing at 1 am. Good thing my roommate wasn't asleep!
7:20. I was wondering, when I found the body. It is the design of Miller. Both feet are prosthesis, and the gear looks like the one, when the group arrived at Jamantau .
There was also a Spiderman reference, ''Go get them tiger''. Anna says it to Artyom when you decide to leave after listening her completely in Aurora :).
Ok about 1/3rd of these did I just discover in my first playthrough but you missed imo the most obvious easter egg...
When you pick up those radioactive cans to produce healthpacks and so on, it makes a VERY distinctive sound almost like when you pick up health packs in the Half Life series!
The way the bridge collapses at 7:00 is also pretty similiar to such scenes in the half life series.
Not sure if anyone noticed but when you make your escape from the cannibals. When you go to the lift after the government room, look up, theres Artyoms gear floating in the air, at least it shows on my pc.
