Introduction
ArmA: Armed Assault contains quite a few visual puns, jokes and inside information. As these are often visible out in the open, they may or may not live up to a narrow definition of easter eggs as hidden information visible only when triggered by the player. In general, the former type of inside jokes can be subsumed under the category of intertextual references, or simply strange or funny sightings. This is by no means an exhaustive list, feel free to expand the list.
Abridged Brand Names
Armed Assault is suspected to sport quite a large range of customized brand names, such as
S(c)h(n)ell spotted by user Aimpoint in the Combat Photography Thread.
This jeep goes by the name "Coyota", also note the brand Sundat.
EPJ
On many pubs is logo of Czech clan EPJ, probably included by former member Armored Sheep, now
BI team member. EPJ means Elite Beer Squad.
References to things Czech
