Guys I just wanna say, stop and think for a second. Do we really believe Bungie would go through this much trouble to hide the ending. I want to and do believe in a legendary ending, but how do we not know they wont just tell us? I doubt the bobs are for anything other than a medal and the switches are probably just easter eggs and the data pads (maybe with some secret messages) are just probably for info. I dont know maybe it's time to look elsewhere for the ending. Or maybe *gulp* (dare I say it)...give up? Maybe Bungie got *gulp*...lazy? I dont know. Whoever said that some hacker ruined the IWHBYD skull, how would anyone else have found that though? It was insane? Was there even a pattern? One last thing though, has anyone tried getting all the achievements or completing all commendations? I know it's another long shot but...I dont know...

TLDR
also, we're talking about bungie here, the people that decided they should hide skulls on random levels, as well as make terminals, which have to operated in order, for an achieve

also, this what we're doing right now, could possibly be the vidmasters of the future

and the IWHBYD skull, the rings made noise to make the song

srry just realized you're a troll, damn got trolled, way to go caboose

I think its entirely possible. Bungie's last Halo game, and they are INSANE about secrets. The scarab gun, the rings you have to light in Halo 3. They're pretty intricate about this stuff.

The one I found didn't look like the ones in your picture, it had the visor helmet just like the other bobs, but it was white.

Just found this one, took a few trys before he even showed up. He doesn't seem to despawn like the others do, he'll run to an area outside sword base and just sit there.

Have one more update for now. The Elite I killed outside of the base after Rally Point Bravo on Mission 3: Oni: Sword Base is definitely a Bob. I went and killed him and ONLY him.

This shows I had one kill and it was Bob.

Bob as a Minor (regular) Elite.

Here he is in the same spot but now he's a Spec-Ops Elite.

The one in the third picture, it's the one i was talking about in my last comment, also, there is one that looks exactly the same inside the building.

I think the armor is random I believe it was actually an Ultra so I didn't notice at 1st but I think it dual wielded and it didn't fight back on legendary (it was in the room below the fuel rod general)

If you guys havent seen this yet, I think it should be checked out as a possibility.

Ok, just though I'd mention this:

I went looking for the Bob on Long Night of Solace, but he was not on the bridge as was mentioned (in the first post). Instead I found him in the hangar; you may want to add it the first post as a possible spawn location for the LNoS Bob.

I have three videos (two of where he disappears and one where I kill) which I'll upload as soon as I'm able. Might take a few screen shots as well.

Skull deaths can only be gotten once per game, in co-op, and in any difficulty. Skulls can be on or off, and usually scoring is off, but I haven't tried it with it on.

About the Marathon VidMaster theory... has anybody tried to activate switches with punches, grenade launchers/concussion rifles (similar to the grenade launcher on the Marathon assault rifle) or overcharged plasma pistols (this weapon was inspired by Marathon's fusion pistol)?

  • 09.23.2010 1:54 AM PDT

I'm not sure if anyone noticed but all of this could be pointing to a marathon remake.

  • 09.23.2010 2:43 AM PDT

Well I sure hope so, but I don't think it necessairly mean that.

  • 09.23.2010 4:21 AM PDT

your a network!!!

The WHITE SCREEN at the end of the cutscene after Lone Wolf am the only person who thinks that is suspicious out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i though ? was guardians and ?? is unknown(though now known apparently as spaceship crashes)

edit: which cant be true, I have a kill by ?? on the tenth mission(forget the name but not lone wolves) and none in the space mission.



I died as a result of crashing in the space mission and alas, no "??" in my stats.

EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD.
Please move into the new group for more threads and easter eggs plus seperate discussions for each mystery.

It might take a bit of time and effort to have everything moved into this, but it's actually a pretty good idea. Because 23 pages is a lot to sort through.

Hey, I discovered a Bob in Winter Contingency that is by the river, where Moas appear, and he is in the water, then he jumps out and starts shooting at you. I tried to run him over several times and the last time he actually -and this is a first- HE JETPACKED, but he was too late and I splattered him. Afterwards, his body was there but his gun instantly disappeared. Oh, and it was in Legendary. I got 330 points for splattering him. LINKY TO GAME DETAILS.

EDIT: Click on Xtermin8R645, that's me and that's where he is in the enemies and the medals tabs.

"Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep 'em from gettin' their filthy claws on Earth. But, we stumbled onto somethin' they're so hot for, that they're scramblin' over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-8itch machine, or a giant hula hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! Am I right, Marines?"

i said this on the original thread before this one was made, but ill say it again here;

Ill help in any way i can, i dont mind a random team, even if im just used as a spawn point for the fights. XBL GT: DarkJakeX3

but on the youtube video in the OP, Brian does say that a lot of unlocks in the game are community focused, i quote "the community colloectively kills one million grunts, at that point, bungie may decide to unlock a whole new tier of armor for everybody around the world."

i think we must consider the very real possibility that the community may have to kill several thousand bobs then hope for an update unlocking the legendary ending when completed. just my thoughts, i wanna help the cause.

  • 09.23.2010 7:49 AM PDT

Hey Just a though but what if u have to progress all the commendations to there final stages to get the ending?

I'm definately going to agree with this..Bungie dumping Halo off on 343 Industries and hiding references to Marathon in their final Halo game? seems a bit suspicious to me...

This is completely irrelevant to the current theories regarding the marathon references but seeing as how this is a secrets thread, i think that the final page of Halsey's journal might hold a secret or two.
*SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT YET READ THE FINAL PAG EOF HALSEY'S JOURNAL*

Must go.

SOON!!

Jerrod says perimeter is compromised.

Base AI denies it. I'll trust Jerrod and my own security protocols!

Skeleton personnel refuse to go.

The bastards finally found us. Took long enough.

PURGE CODE is Beta-Foxtrot-998741
overrideFail-Safe: Ragnarock in case something happens to me and the journal survives.

NOBLE Team here.
It's time.
*END PAGE*
The thing that caught my eye here is the codes, while they have nothing to do with the game currently I believe that they may serve some purpose further down the road. Possibly an extra content unlock?

You're only paranoid if they're not out to get you.

Hey. HEY. Wake up. Wipe that drool off your chin. My post wasn't that boring.

Wow. I never knew about all this stuff.. thread saved. I hope we'll be able to find out some really cool hidden secret! :D

Going through the game on Legendary and killing them all is statistically impossible. It's random, whether or not they spawn, so it would be more than super lucky for all of them to spawn on the same run through.

I think we'll have to look harder for the meaning behind these guys. That or stop looking. It's very possible that the medals you get are themselves the reward for finding them. Which is more than you get from the other hidden things in the game and also more than you get for any of the weird hidden enemies in any of the previous games.
