Fight to the Last

I never thought anything special about the BOBS....i've killed 3 w/o knowing, i just didn't think anything of it at first

we know already that BOBS count each time they are killed. So you can kill an unlimited number. If there is a specific number to unlock anything, no one has noticed or found the number yet. I doubt doing a check point to kill him multiple times would count for the 2 separate BOBS on a level.

It seems most in the thread here have come to the conclusion that only a single BOB in a mission will spawn, never both. If they have any special meaning and you must kill all, you may have to play campaign twice or more to get em all. No one has a clue as to what makes them spawn, so you can't choose(at this point) which one will.

Well on the the first level near the # 1 data pad. there is a bob there. and i got a check point right before there. i wnet out. killed him. then died. i reverted. i went over there to kill him again. he was there and i killed him again to ensure i got him. i noticed i had two bob kills. ( before i had none) well i was curious si i reverted again. and i killed him one more time. now i have 3 bob kills.

maybe i got lucky but every time i go over there he is there

The sighted man sayeth to the blind man, "The sky is blue, today is a good day."
The blind man sayeth to the sighted man, "You judge the day by what you see, what if I judged the day by what I see? The sky is black, what does that mean to you?"
The sighted man sayeth, "That someone is dead or dying today."
The blind man sayeth back, "Then the entire world is dying before my eyes."

Review that movie of that playthrough, one of your deaths was caused by the ?? Look for something that's not in any of the other categories.

its gone, lol, it was temporarily, i didn't see any reason to save it at the time

but after beating the game 3 times, once on normal, once on heroic, and once on legendary

this only happened once, one time, sixth mission on legendary, intriguing, look into it, and i will as well

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

On Normal Difficulty Long Night of Solace on the Corvette, I found the crew were BOB's save the General.

Hey guys, I have 2 BOBs to report. The first is at the beginning of Nightfall along the cliff of the first structure. I was actually abe to assassinate this BOB after not alerting enemies to my location. The pics and a video are in my fileshare. I found another BOB on normal difficulty. I was messing around on nightfall, and after the giant creature things that attack the grunts there is a BOB in the structure where you save the civilians. Here is the game file, and here are some screenshots.

  • 09.23.2010 10:23 PM PDT

I found another Bob on Winter Contingency... It's off to the side right before you engage in that last battle before being airlifted to the satellite, on heroic. I'm not 100% sure what makes him appear yet. I was doing the Flawless Cowboy commendation and just blazed through Winter Contingency 5 times...he appeared two of those 5 times.

Dear God. I'm spending all weekend on this...this is insane.

I hope the ending is good enough to warrant all this complication.

I think it would be sick if it all unlocked the first level of Halo CE in the Reach engine (not just a cutscene) and you could play as MC. Oh the possibilities.

  • 09.24.2010 12:37 AM PDT

Has anyone considered that the switches might be like the holographic rings in the last bit of Halo 3? Like, you need to activate them in a certain order if you want to achieve the result...

I'm just saying, it's something that should be considered. The BOBs might also have to be killed in certain ways, or might also need to be killed in a certain order in order to activate whatever it is that Bungie is hiding.

And Bungie, don't think we won't find it. We will. We always do.

Found a bob at the beginning of LNoS. I Got past the beach to the part with the wraith down below, then as Nobel Team headed towards the sabres, I stayed behind fighting off waves of covenant reinforments with the Marines and eventually a golden elite dropped down in a Drop pod.

While looking for easter eggs in campaign, my friend and I came across something weird. It's a room on Nightfall you need to use a forklift to get into, and then drop into a strange room.

All that's in the room are two big storage tanks, a non exploding fuel canister, a computer terminal, a table, and a cabinet.

The first strange thing is that there is no other way into the room.
The second is that you can't normally fly into the room in theatre mode. You have to be following someone in.
The third is that, while similar to other computer terminals, this one has a lever on it, but you can't activate it.
Lastly, the table and cabinet are placed in the perfect way to get out of the room. You can jump on the table and onto the dresser to get out, as if there was a reason to go in there and then come out again.

Here's the rendered video on my bungie.net. Check it out.

Yea I found that too earlier, I was actually trying to get on the roof to see if I could reach that brute on the top of the mill, but couldn't :( Perhaps if I get a second player I can use them to jump on :)

Do you know if you crashed anytime during that mission while you were in space? I have heard that the ?? represents a death from crashing into something and dying. Not being shot down but dying from just hitting a wall or something

I have no idea if it is true and also no proof but it is a possibility.

I don't think crashing in space is it because I've collided with the orbital platform and died at least twice and have no ?? in my weapons list.

That's good. At least we can cross that off then. Has anyone seen the ?? outside of the space level?

I have looked around at other GT's with it and so far I have only seen it on the 6th mission. I'm wondering if it happens at any other time or if it is directly related to that space battle.

Be easy, not sleazy

In the end game credits, during cast of characters, it shows Voice of the Terminals-Bob O'Donnell. Plus if you watch the legendary commintary, I believe Marty asks about the terminals with the team just saying I guess we would have to play through again and dig a little deeper. Not sure they mean Data Pads since all the onces I've found don't have a "voice". My bad if this has already been shot done but just figured I'd throw this out there.

Hidden room on New Alexandria?

After exploring exodus, I thought it was time to finally tackle New Alexandria.

So far I've searched the outside of the buildings for a nook or another door to go into. I've searched the buildings that are not visited during the campaign, and found a door that opens into an empty room? Maybe a switch somewhere? Or spawn location for an unfound bob? I couldn't get the doors to open in any of the other areas and was able to access this door in multiple games.

Check my file share
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=270878 4&player=TheEnternal

What is needed, someone else to run through and double check the other buildings and this one.

Its the purple rooftop near the first objective. The one by the club does not have a door that opens.

  • 09.24.2010 6:37 AM PDT

There is a new discovery with switches it seems. Halo Reach Planet has said they discovered a switch that spawns 4 banshees in Campaign.

Does anyone else have any more information on this?

"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?"

maybe the ?? is a scarab gun :O lol jokes. but seriously, if youve been killed by a ?? weapon, especially on the 6th mission, what difference could it possibly make to the ending of the game?

  • 09.24.2010 7:53 AM PDT

Maybe the ?? weapon is the guns from the space station? I mean if the ?? only appears there and is 'classified' could it be if you were accidental shot down by those guns? I've got a ?? death on that mission and I'm fairly certain at one point I did get killed by those and not a covenant ship.

  • 09.24.2010 8:02 AM PDT

A hero need not speak, for when he is gone the world will speak for him.

the ?? appears on more then one stage, meaning it has nothing to do with the space fight.
