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....


No proof = Lie
You need to state some kind of legit proof to be heard.
If you're talking about the Legendary ending, it is no different than other endings. Many have finished it, I finished it myself, and it's the same for every difficulty. Bungie confirmed it.

If you're talking about the eagle landing on the helmet, this is mentioned on the audio commentary which you can hear if you bought the legendary edition. This is widely known.


I really hope you are saying this to sponge dude. I already know all of this and I was the first to mention the eagle.
So why are you asking for proof?

Could someone please tell me if I need to experiment with armor effects and see how the bobs react. I noticed that from previous posts that they tend to act differently to everyone (and maybe even to those in groups). I greatly appreciate any feedback on investigating and experimenting with these bobs and their reactions.
BOBs can have all sorts of different behaviors. Some will attack you, some will run away, some will stand still and only melee you if you come close... so yeah, the odds you meet two BOBs with the same behaviour are very small.

But I don't think it has anything to do with armor effects, you're pushing this too far. It's just that people spotted different BOBs.

I was asking for proof because he said that Bungie confirmed there was no eagle in legendary ending.

Traded in 13 games got $71 off Legendary,Who else dodged the 150 dollar price tag??? lol

I found a new bob in the long night of solace,instead of going into the launch facility stay outside and fight a few waves of enemies.Eventually a Elite Drop pod will come down containing a bob.But as soon as he popped out he disappeared w/o me firing a shot,I think it was because a barricade was right in front of its pod but I dont really know for sure.

Edit:I tried for a 2nd time,I believe the bob always disappears before he gets out,best bet is to have a rocket launcher or the wraith and blast it as soon at it drops down.

I can't seem to find a meaning behind them, they're not Hex codes, as putting them into a decryption/encoding program yields nothing, my best bet would be the unique ID Bungie gives your system in order to gather data from it and track various things. But then again, I don't see why it would be hidden for 15 seconds since we wouldn't ever need to know it.

If you all would like to try decoding your hex numbers, there's a translator here:

home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/

It might be IP address related at most. I just checked mine again today and it's a different string of numbers/characters.
I tried a Hex translator on it before to no avail. Even tried to use parts of it as a download code, with no real luck.
Maybe it's binary or octal converted to hex. I'd lean toward octal since it's comprised of 0-7, and we all know how Bungie feels about 7s.
It's probably nothing really, but worth looking into until someone figures out what's what with all the BOBs, switches, etc.

Ok. Btw, thanks for answering my question. I have noticed that the bob towards the end of Long Night of Solice will be there one run through on Heroic w/ 7 skulls on (Tough Luck, Catch, Famine, Thunderstorm, Grunt Birthday, Cowbell, and IWHBYD). So, I run it again right after finishing it and there is no bob! Same skulls, same difficulty level, same level, but no bob. Is it possible that it spawns somewhere else in the room? If so I have not found it because you can see it from the door as you enter, and its not likely that it vanished before I could kill it due to the fact that I always kill it first.

EDIT: I always watch the door from where I am at, so I stay between the bob and the door.

EDIT 2: The bob spawns in the last area where you fight the covenant with Jorge. When you enter the room look up at the center of the platform at the opposite side of the room. He should be there if he doesn't spawn in the control room where you put the corvette en route to the assault carrier.

Here is how I kill it. 1) Scan the area. 2) Pick out a target. 3) (If I haven't been discovered yet (which in this case I am never noticed until I engage the target)) Wait for the best time to strike. 4) Now I engage the target.

I have noticed that you can "watch" this bob. As soon as you enter the room sneak to the right and go along the outter wall, then hide behind the controls to the bobs right side. You can watch him for as long as you like if you have done everything right. So what I am saying is the bobs start to vanish when they have noticed you and have been in combat with you. That said, I believe that makes this the ONLY bob that you can actually "watch".

And as for two different bobs with the same behavior, That would be one of the bobs on Winter Contingency (the first house after you get the truck) and the bob on Sword Base (the one as you go back to the base, it runs off to where the level begins). They both run away in the same "threatened" behavior, they are both cornered easily (Winter Contingency runs backwards and gets stuck in a tree. Sword Base run backwards into the dead end.) both fight (after they've been cornered) to go back to where they were. Thus the behavior is the same (and yes thats EVERY time I run into those specific bobs) in every way. However there is ONE difference between the two of them and thats the weapon. But that doesn't affect anything except the way they walk. Also it is on the same difficulty with the same skulls.

honestly u can't rule anything out, until u beat it on legendary with all skulls on, and kill all the bobs with grenades, while hitting all the data pads, after you do that, if no different ending, then there is none

Here is a possible Easter Egg I recently found (tried to make this a thread but no one responded):

On New Alexandria, when you need to get into the hospital, go through the first part as normal (also, play on Normal difficulty). As soon as you deactivate the Covenant thing, RUN back through that long hall into the spiral staircase room. Elite Rangers will attack you while you are running but disregard them. When you get into the spiral staircase room, an Elite and 3 or 4 Skirmishers will be coming through a glass door. RUN past them and you should be able to enter that room. But beware, there is a soft kill boundary in there. And remember, once that door closes and your not in that room, its locked for good. I did a sorta rushed investigation of that room but did not find anything. It *may* be an Easter Egg location but I'm not sure.
Moar like the place where these guys come from, as they can't be coming from outside because your Falcon is parked there, so they just get out of this room whose sole purpose is to spawn them.

There are many rooms such as this one in all Halo games. I don't think it's anything special.

So just ignore it it means nothing to us.

well out of the first few chapters i read of the flood book they said something about a type of elite that just observes the battle then they report to the prophets. by the way i think bob is probably an acronym for something.

i found something in new alexandria! when the level starts enter the falcon and fly to the building directly behind the one you started on. you will see a white room with a door. if you land your falcon on top the door will open when you go inside there are floating packages (maybe packages... idk). if you turn your night vision on you can see, what im assuming, is rust on the walls. there are more rooms like this in the level, i can only articulate how to find this one though =D

you have to park your falcon on top of the room for the door to open...

The group is where we keep things as fully updated as possible.

Cant be touched

I found something out, If there are multiple bobs on a level I think it might be the same one moved to a different location.

Winter Contingency: A bob was discovered in the house with the data pad on the ground. this is when heat signatures are detected and an elite with a concussion rifle comes out. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=745712 &player=Apollo312 - Thx Apollo312

Winter Contingency: In the first major abandon settlement lies a bob. Could possibly be the same one as before? http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=748451 &player=thedryness - Thx thedryness


I've found them both sepperatley but cannot find the second after I kill the first. can anyone confirm this?
