I posted this in the other thread but ignore it.

Does anyone know where any of the other switches are? Or do they know what they do?

We could get four people, spread three of them around the area by the switch(in bounds), get the fourth person to activate the switch, then the other three start looking for things that change.

Then replay the part over in Theater and try to find something there.

If nothing turns up then I say ditch the Bob theory and go with the switches. If they dont activate anything during the Campaign then I would bet that they alone would activate an alternate ending.

And I couldnt watch the video. Does it say its a legendary ending.. Or an alternate ending?


He said Legendary Ending. So far there are 4 switches. 3 of them go to easter eggs such as the Rave music on New Alexandria having 2 switches and 1 on The Package to open a door to the tribute room. The fourth has no use yet.

There are 2 switches on The Package, but you need to do co-op. Both the switches unlock 4 banshees at the top of one of the buildings. It's at the beginning of the level. One switch is as you said, out of bounds. And the second switch is under one of the buildings next to a crate.

Beware the darkness....it will consume you...

Well...I can now confirm that killing 77 Bob's does nothing special.

Boondock, when you say seven and eleven are X'd over are both a full X?
My game shows Seven X'd through and Eleven with a single line struck through it; not a legitimate X. If the games are showing different things, there is probably a reason for it.

I get access denied, could you explain what it is?

By the way, those switches that are easter eggs, what if their not?, I mean like the 2 switches on The Package that spawn's 4 banshee's, I don't think those banshee's are there to just help you out in the mission, I think theres more to it.

You cant anyways destroy the AA guns if you activate those 2 switches unless you destroy them first and then activate the switches.

And at bravo point they say "If only we could grab a banshee and bring the fight to them" (or something like that), to me that sounds like a clue, that something is out there. Tho i did manage to grab a banshee but I did not find anything.

I had this same issue with the Banshees, as I flew ahead to take out the AA and couldn't do so. However I think that is due to the lack of getting a check point which occurs somewhere in the valley going towards the AA.

As for this topic, I could not be bothered scanning through the 50-something pages, though I have the general idea from the previous forum that spawned this idea.
To be honest I don't think the switches have anything to do with it. Sure they're needed for easter eggs, but I dont think easter eggs are the key here, they never have been in bungie games.
As for the data pads, its hard to say. Why would bungie include such items if they were only for reading?
But you're definitely on track with the Bobs, never seen one in my games, but they must be key.
Good luck to all for solving this haha.

After you kill a Bob, can you kill it again if you repeat the mission, or is it gone forever?

You can kill him again. You can even reload the last checkpoint and kill him again.

Now it's only a matter of finding them. Some are always here, some can appear in many different places so you're likely to miss him. That explains why you sometimes go to where the BOB spawns, but he's not there.

You may know that the post you quoted was ancient. I already know about the switches being for the Banshees.

I think I found a new unknown BOB yesterday on the Package (I didn't see it mentioned in the OP, forgive me for not reading 55 pages), it's at the point when you're in Sword base, and are getting attacked in the MP part of the level by a few spec-ops elites and a general. He's there just before you enter the door that activates the cutscene to go down to the glacier.

Pretty sure he really is a Bob, he did nothing to me except trying to kick me when I got too close, and he suddenly dissapeared when he almost died.

I have new information regarding the posters on Winter Contingency (prepare to be disappointed.)

They are not, I repeat, NOT unique. The poster with the red humanoid shows up at about 6 various locations. The poster with the "x"ed out numbers (full "x" through one, single line cross (\) through the other) shows up in two other locations. I can provide proof if need be. Sorry for the disappointing news, but maybe I just saved you all some time?

Also, my apologies if the information is old.

I have also noticed that the symbol around the town has a striking resemblance to the Mythic skull symbol (maybe? I literally JUST thought about that, so it may be my mind playing tricks on me.)

Anyway, good hunting and godspeed Spartans.

Edit: Upon inspection in Theater, found more poster instances.

For fans of the story? With the exception of an achievement, that's what the terminals were for in Halo 3.

There has got to be something on The Package, if Bungie were to put in a switch that spawned banshees and turned off the 'Return to Battlefield' for us to "look around" it just tells me that there is something hidden out there that we wouldn't be able to find without the switch turned on.

  • 10.04.2010 11:44 AM PDT

i think i found another bob on winter contingency. its right before the house with the stranded marines before you hop in the falcon. i've only seen it when i was rushing through the level. i hopped in the vehicle and drove past the first two areas straight to the spot with the marines and he was waiting right before the building, AFTER the two jackals.

sorry if this has already been posted.

Come on guys this guy is right, think about it.

HALO 3 : 4 Ghost's, Legandary, Iron Skull activated, 4 Player Coop

HALO 3 ODST : 4 Moongoose, 4 Unlimited Rockets, Legandary, Iron Skull activated, 4 Player Coop

HALO REACH : 4 Banshees, Legandary, Iron Skull activated, 4 Player Coop

They wouldn't just put 4 Banshess for us to fly around out the map with. It must mean something. We have to find out what.

Unless something is found out of bounds, there is nothing to do other than fly around. The distance to Sword Base is relatively short, too.

May I just say that there is no Legendary ending sadly. The easgle was going to be it but Bungie cut it last minute.

No idea why....

I dont think so, seeing as there are so many hidden things in this game, I'm sure its there, or it'll placed in once the patch comes.

on the mission oni sword base at the part where your supposed to go back to the base right outside the entrance to where the hunters are there on the right is a white armored elite who changes rank. I played sword base on legendary and found the elite to be a Zealot. and yesterday i played it again on easy and found the white elite as a minor. I haven't found the purpose of it yet

  • 10.04.2010 2:33 PM PDT

It's a Bob. An odd Bob, but a Bob nonetheless.

I am not convinced that everything is unlocked yet. As bungie has stated they will unlock more ranks and armor as people catch up I tend to believe that the Bobs are for later challenge points, as well as possibly the data pads.

Well, this poster reminds me of many ad campaigns for cancer, AIDS, car accidents, poverty, and so on. You've got many small stickmen, and some of them are of a different color, and right below is written "X of these people have AIDS/cancer / died today because of poverty".

It just looks like something put there to make this place feel believable, but I don't think there's anything hidden here.
