I watched the legendary content on halo waypoint and in the commentary Marty makes mention to the lab activated by the switches, the master chief in the hanger and to the data pads (there's actually a voice actor credit for them in the ending credits).

They also said that New Alexandria has more easter eggs in it than the rest of the game combine.

Now that we know this maybe there's other mentions to things not picked up on yet?

I think that we're missing something very, very obvious. Maybe we have to go in wearing a certain armor, like an ODST head? Maybe we have to touch down in certain buildings on New Alexandria?

Or perhaps these switches are connected to something in New Alexandria. I think that these "Press X to open door" switches open up doors in the New Alexandria level.

BOB information-

Lonewolf
Easy difficulty
IWHBYD Skull on

At 17 minutes 38 seconds Bob spawns near the outer barriers of the map. He engages me at 18 minutes 4 seconds. He has all the features of a regular Bob, except he has an Energy Sword and is mildly aggressive. Normal shields, speed seems normal, and he is armed with 2 Plasma Grenades. I would post a film and pics, but unfortunately I am not connected to Live. However, I do have pictures and videos showing exactly when and where he spawns, along with engagement techniques.

Also in the comentary of #6 they mention that "you can still fly around and land on buildings but hopefully you will land on the pad" which leads me to believe that something whatever it is doesnt load or activate until you can end the mission. Not sure but going to check this out.

on another note. after you activate the banshees on the package mission, there wont be barriers throughout the rest of the mission including once you get into the cave, but if you finish the mission and go to the PoA mission the barriers reactivate. Also when me and my friends were playing they noticed that the doors are numbered. ie the tribute room is 1a and other doors are like 2b, 3c. But when i did it locally by my self the numbers on the doors dissapeer, or never appear for that matter. Not sure if this is significant at all but just an observation.

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

No one will or at least should answer you. If you bothered to read you would know.

in part of the commentary, at this one in fact video commentary 7 listen at 4:45 he says, all im going to say is there is a vault down here. and another guy says, "youve said enough already...we can cut that"...a secret maybe? when u press the switches on legendary to get down here? i didnt find anything when i looked but maybe we havent explored everything cortanas lair has to offer?

They're just talking about Dr. Halsey's office that you can get into with all the easter eggs and stuff. I doubt there is anything more in there other then fan service.

  • 09.26.2010 1:01 PM PDT

Been playing since pong, and you?

I need some help on a Legendary ending run. For possible new Easter egg. I may have some possible new insight from the Legendary edition waypoint video to access content in the Legendary ending. This is only preliminary at this time. Will share if I get anywhere.

This guy's killed 5, sorry I don't know how to do links.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/CareerStats/enemies.aspx?pl ayer=XIIX Greg XIIX

I've killed 4, 3 of them on the third mission. And i've only played it once i think.

I have killed six, but i don't know how or where
Oh and has anyone suggested they might be called ranger bob from the william shatner movie Howdy Doody? There was also a ranger bob children's show

About the legendary ending with the eagle and all...

After watching the whole commentary, it's a running joke that they mention this that and the other thing as "only on legendary" such as scarab fights and so on. When they finally touch on the very end with the eagle, "only on legendary" is essentially a meme.

Just some food for thought. I'm positive that there's tons more hidden in this game, I just think they may lead to something else, and not an eagle landing on a helmet.

My thoughts exactly. It's as if they're hinting at things jokingly but also in ways to make us look for things which are not there.

  • 09.26.2010 4:41 PM PDT

The "only on legendary" thing was definitely a joke by the end of the video. Like I said, I'm absolutely sure of there being tons more easter eggs, and we'll find them, but it sounds to me like the eagle thing is just legit pulled content referenced in commentary, and they spoke tongue in cheek with the "only on legendary" comment.

That said, I can not wait to see what else this game is hiding.

snipers ftw

There is 1 button that Redrooster shows in achievement hunter and it unlocks a gate with 6 elite generals and it leads to who-evers office with halos 1-3 and reach logos.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but we all know that bungie likes the number 7, but reading Dr Halsey's journal the entry dated December 4, 2510 right near the start Dr Halsey says that Carver "used 7 (and this is circled) when he needed 16".

Does anyone think that instead of thinking about 7's we should be thinking about 16's?

just a thought, has anyone tried getting 1000 gamer score and beating legendary? i mean in halo 3 you got the Katana for 1000 maybe they decided to make it so you only got to see it if you were dedicated enough, again just a thought.

Grenades are like RAM, you can never have too much
