Has anyone figured out what the third switch on new alexandria does? The glowing blue one?

You mean the one that looks like it belongs on a Covenant jammer, spawns in the same place as a Covenant jammer, and when you get near it, says that it shuts down a Covenant jammer?

The game just loaded the jammer's button before the jammer. A lot of switches in Halo 2 were like that, too.

Why would the button load on top of another building, nowhere near the actual jammer if that was the case? Also, pushing it does not disable any jammer... hence making it not an actual button associated with either of the 3 jammers on the level

  • 10.13.2010 6:07 PM PDT

Actually, it's exactly where the game occasionally spawns a jammer for one of its sidequests. It's not one of the 3 main jammers that are always there.

Or are you not talking about this button?

I think I found a new Bob on Nightfall.

At least, he wasn't in the first post. He's within the first couple minutes of the level. He spawned as far left and away as possible in the area before you're forced to walk through a building. He's by the broken bridge with the dead humans on it. He runs around the far building and disappears pretty quickly, but I managed to snipe him in the video.

^The intended playing area is in the second picture. You come from the right (where you first assassinate the initial elite) and go through a building to the left to continue the mission.

Jaxs, can you record a video that shows your method of flying out of the tribute room using theatre mode?

It would help people recreate it and may lead to further finds.

i ran into the BOB on Long night of solace, but it was on easy, i have the screenshot of me laying him out in my file share as proof that he showed up on easy.

i just did it again, with a headshot and this time on the BOB in nightfall that spawns in the middle of the waterfront area. also on easy

The BOB's on Winter Contingency won't spawn for me, I've tried on normal and legendary. I've watched a video and know exactly where they spawn, I show up and nothing.

Can you find them on the saved film?

No I didn't because on his video they were running out in the open.

The BOB on the bridge was running straight at him, shooting his gun.

I figured that's what they were supposed to do, I searched a little while I was alive and came up empty.

I've got a Golden Bob in my Fileshare right now that shows him at the very beginning of the Nightfall mission. He's been there a couple times I can recall. All missions on Heroic. DemiWoody

Sure, the only problem is that a glitch occurred and now I lost my campaign progress so unless anyone can think of a workaround, i'll have to play through the game again. Which may take a day or so.

EDIT: Actually it's really easy to get out. I could just post a picture of where you need to go to get out, with a simple explanation.

That's probably the same one I said before.

Confirmed by Bungie is that an Eagle will land on your helmet at the end. There is no other information on what the rest of the Legendary Ending is.


They said they "WANTED" that. Watch the video again.

*HOW TO GET OUT OF THE TRIBUTE ROOM*

You'll have to rely on screenshots, but fortunately it's incredibly easy to get out of the tribute room:

1) Download my video of the tribute room:
(I don't have bungie pro, so if someone can render this, it would be greatly appreciated)
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=649340 3&player=The%20Fleshreaper

2) play the video, when you do, pause it so you have all the time you want, take control of the camera and turn around, you will see a door:

Here's a close up:

3)You see the black part above the door? You can pass through it easily, no tricks required.

4) when you get passed the door, just keep flying forward until
you hit an actual solid wall.

5) DONE! You're out side the tribute room, explore to your hearts content.

I found a new BOB on Long Night of Solace. At mission start kill all the enemies until you get to the building then defend until a drop pod with a BOB appears. It was on Normal about 3 minutes after I got to the top and received a checkpoint. Here are a few places I saw it drop:
Here's a picture

One of them asks the other if they got the eagle in and he says yes. So learn to listen.

Well I was watching Jaxs video aour the tribute room and suddenly "the siege of madrigal" started sounding, I think this is interesting,hope it helped.Oh and by the way yesterday I was playing with some friends Lone Wolf and suddenly a BOB with a sword appeared and killed one of us, right after that we all died but maybe if you last more you more BOBs will respawn.
