I have found something very interesting. BOBs do turn invisible and walk away. If you remember the post were someone thought that bobs turn invisible and walk away, you know what i'm sorta talking about. While i was playing Winter contingency on heroic w/ thunderstorm and mythic i came upon the bob that spawns near the area were you have to clear the landing zone. Any ways, he started shooting at me and i realized that he was a bob. I started shooting at him and then he killed, then on the second try i started shooting at him and then when he was walking away i shot him with a pistol and ,you know when you shoot someone invisible and their shield goes weird? That happened. So i ran out of ammo and the bob turned invisible and ran away. I know this story sounds really far fetched but it did happen. I forgot to record it.


They just don't simply turn invisible, they dissapear completely into thin air.

perhaps they turn invisible for a second, just a second, and then disappear completely

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use Caps Lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single Bob alive."

I am intrigued by this. Just found out about this and looked at my medals. Apparently I have a BOB-medal. I will try to help you guys out. Perhaps one should go through NA and Exodus in cam mode and search for him.

A question, exactly what says that the fast banshees are bobs?They don't give medals so they aren't bobs, they could be something completely different. So again, why are you so sure that these banshees are bobs?

you get the kill bob daily challenge for killing a bob-shee

I wonder if you stay alive for 20 mins in lone wolf, 2 bobs will show up.

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use Caps Lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single Bob alive."

Also, came to remeber our good ol' Marathon.

We have their vidmaster challange, I remember it since it was considered insane:

"hit all switches, play on total carnage and leave no Bob alive."

Could this translate into Halo Reach?

I mean, we do have switches, we do have bobs and we do have a high difficulty. What if it's meant that it should be done in the same way as the old vidmaster? Hit all the hidden switches, play on legendary and kill every BOB on every level.
What do you guys think?

Hmm, it's weird considering you don't get a bob-medal for killing one.

Why does it matter? I killed the BOB on lone wolf solo legendary, and why does it matter for a second one?

they arent BOBs, the challenge said "golden class ranger elite" or something like that, so the banshees were piloted by a golden ranger elite, but they arent BOBs

Q: What if you hi-jack a BOB Banshee and then kill the BOB that is pulled out! This would get you the medal for that BOB!

A: This doesn't work. Upon hi-jacking these Banshees you literally pull nothing out of them. One of the only levels you can actually hi-jack a Banshee on is New Alexandria, and the Banshees for the most part are empty. The BOB Banshees on Exodus cannot be hi-jacked either. Hi-jacking these Banshees does nothing, and upon killing them, you don't get the BOB medal, but these Banshees do count as BOBs due to the fact that there was a daily challenge called Golden Tree City, asking us to kill the BOB in a Banshee on New Alexandria flying fast and low.
I hi-jacked a BOB Banshee at The Package. I kicked the air.

I fail to see how that would make any difference.

There's no way they could tell if you have a BoB in the clip. They can't even tell if your character is in a screenshot or not, I suppose they could check if you have a seek and destroy medal in the game from which the clip was taken.


Actually they do know if your character is in the screenshot.

Hover your mouse over my player and a little window will pop-up.


That's nice! I had no idea you could do that, in my experience the "screenshots of you" thing just showed me screenshots of games I had played in, not of me.

BoBs now have numbers on their necks?

You should post a video.

ryemccrory is right, I have killed a golden BOB in the parking lot before you fight the hunters on ONI. It will spawn and try to run away to the place where you orginally spawn on the ONI level. I chased it to the bottom of that parking lot one time and was able to assassinate him before he vanished. Perhaps the Exodus and NA BOB's are hidden in other buildings on the map out of the way of the normal mission.

It's the same as hijacking any empty banshee. They don't put anything in them because it's a waste of processing power to draw elites you'll likely never see.

Those screenshots can sometimes consider you to be "in them" when you're not. Guess If you're close the game can say where were in it.

Anyways, player's characters will only be linked with that pop-up on B.net ofc.

I have a video of the possible ground BOB on Exodus. Not sure if it's been posted, but if not I'll upload and render it.

  • 07.06.2011 7:14 AM PDT

Because they are classified as a "covenant light vehical", maybe you have to activate them like you would with a vehical, e.g. walking up to them and pressing "RB" or something like that.

What about those brutes that appeared somewhere high and out of reach from a phantom on the level after blowing up the corvet(?).

They stand there for a while mumbling giberish and then disappear, maybe on different levels, different enemies can act as bobs?

They appear in the phantom that pops in your face afterwards.

One time I saw a BOB on NA. When I killed it I started hitting it. Then it got out of the shadow and it was -blam silver. LOL

Possible BOB in Exodus. Sadly the creator didn't start recording until the door closed so you cant split away from the spartan and leave the complex. In the middle of rendering now.

  • 07.06.2011 8:15 PM PDT

I got live!

I have an idea, maybe on their last vidoc, they will tell us about the helmet. Or maybe tomorrow they will do this.
