I just remembered, there is in fact an ACHIEVEMENT called "Banshees fast and low"


Reference to the first level in Halo 3 when that pelican gets shot down half way though the level. The pilot yells that before she dies

14 pages of reading... phew!
But I'm definitely feeling like this is a really solid theory, just got to work out a few kinks. And Kira, just leave the poor thread alone.

bump. :)

i searched exodus for a few hours on legendary yesterday..nothing yet, but i think the data pads have something to do with all this...there could be a code/message hidden in the data pads so im going look there next.

EDIT: THERE IS A SECRET MESSAGE. Idk if this has been found before (i dont read too much about easter eggs anymore) but i have found..."HALO REACH PLANET M..." there is still lots of decoding to do, but i could be on to something here

Some of the lettters in the data pads have ben replaced with numbers. That might be something...

Or maybe it is like a community challenge? Like killing a certain number of BOBS for new armor?


I think that this is the most likely, if you got the helmet for killing a BOB on every level I'm sure someone would've discovered it by now.


Someone would of discovered it if it was available to us, community challenge or not.

If this helmet was avaible to us, we would need the mesh files or else we'd get errors.
Those files do not exist in our system so = we don't have it.


BUt keep your sarch for BOBs going, i wanna see how far you'll go before you realize all your doing will end up to nothing lol.


There are parts of the disk that hackers are unable to access. Admittedly they're in the Armor Ability sections, but if they've got that level of security I doubt it's the secret formula for Sprint.

Actually, that's got me thinking. Maybe we're going about this the wrong way. The BOBs have to have some sort of signature piece of coding, right? So maybe we could recruit a data miner to trawl through the disk and find out how many there are and where they spawn. Just a thought.

I think to find the missing ones we need to complete the missions and then watch it in theater mode so we can search around the whole map seeing if there is a spawn point for the BOB's. Am I making sence?

HAS ANYONE REALISED THAT BUNGIE EVERY 2 WEEKS ARE GIVING US LASO'S BUT THE THING IS THEY RE GIVING IT IN ORDER. IT STARTED WITH WINTER CONTINGUENCY THEN ONI AND SO NOW WERE ON EXODUS I BELEIVE AND THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT PEOPLE TO LOOK INTO BUT IM TOO LAZY TO DO RIGHT SO ANYWASY THERES LIKE 4 LASO MISSIONS LEFT AFTER EXODUS SO THEN WHEN WE FINISH THE LAST LASO MISSION LONE WOLF THAT WOULD BE IN 7-8 WEEKS FROM NOW AND IN 7-8 WEEKS FROM NOW ISNT THERE LIKE BUNGIE DAY OR SOMETHING
SO WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY SOMEBODY WHO HAS DONE ALL LASO'S SO FAR CAN CARRY ON DOING THEM AND ON BUNGIE DAY, DUNGIE WILL RELEASE SOMETHING FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLETED CAMPAIGN ON LASO AND I BELEIVE THAT THE REASON THEY ARE GIVING THESE CHALLENGES TO US ARE FOR PROOF THAT WE HAVE DONE IT SO HACKERS CAN DO IT.
SO MAYBE THIS WILL UNLOCK A SECRET ENDING...YH I KNOW BUNGIE HAS SAID THEY WONT HAVE A LEGENDARY ENDING BUT BUNGIE HAS LIED TO US BEFORE HAVNT THEY REMEMBER THE SECRET OF SANDTRAP NO ONE HA FOUND THAT BUT MAYBE DOING THIS:
LASO CAMPAIGN
ALL BOBS FOUND
ALL DATAPADS COLLECTED
ALL SWITCHES COLLECTED

THIS MIGHT MAKE A SECRET SWITCH ON BUNGIE DAY TO GIVE US A ENDING SO I TELL YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE BETTER THAN ME FIGURE OUT WHEN BUNGIE DAY IS AND WORKJ OUT HOW MANY WEEKS THAT IS IN AND IF IT IS IN 7-8 WEEKS THEN THAT MEANS SOMETHING BIG IS GOING TO HAPPEN

The last LASO weekly (I'm assuming it's POA, since Lone Wolf would be a breeze) begins on 30th May and ends on 5th June. Bungie Day is 7th July. Sorry, no cheese for you. Good idea though.

So i'm a troll for having a different opinion than the OP? lol.

Like i said, i do like the BOB hunt itself as there are probably some still yet to be found.
But some of the theories are just plain madness, while other could be plausible.

Your basing your theories on fiction while i prefer looking at the facts.


-There is nothing tying the BOBs to anything of the skulls in Halo 3.
-The "BOB" helmet, in a reference to BOB from marathon, as far as it goes, is known to exist only on either Bungie's/343i's servers, me choice going to the later, and nowhere else. If this helmet was in any way available to us in any way, we would require the helmet's mesh files to avoid game errors. The game disk has been data minned numerous times and no such files exists in our game or system.
This is helmet is in no way out to the public nor do facts support it will ever be.
2. One BOB medal per campaign mission rewards us like the Halo: 3 skulls did, with armor pieces. The "BOB Mystery Helmet" and the new chest piece are rewarded when 9 out of 10 and 10 out of 10 BOB medals are rewarded.
-Where does this even come from? IS there a source? Proof?
This is just you making stuff up, as the armor you are referring to, as mentioned above, is only available to Bungie/343i. I'll gladly accept any kind of proof you have to back this claim up.


Fact is, probably 90% of the huge mysteries in Reach come from people that spit out random ideas and people start to think its true.
Just look at some other poster, he started a rumor about an easter egg around the picture you see in the armory.
With Bungie hidding some stuff in their games, people tend to try to find secrets and conspiracies everywhere now. They just can't see to see that somethings are just there to be amusing.

You consider yourself a BOB fanatic, no problem there, but start seeing theories everywhere with everything, that borders on schizophrenia. Discern facts from fiction.

As for the IWHBYD skull, i don't see how regular players would of found it. You had to jump through a series on 7 *?* rings at a certain time in the level to unlock it. I find it hard to believe that without hackers, the skull would of been found at all.

I will keep on bumping this thread/posting in it for reasons already mentioned, but as i said, get a grip on what is real and what is not


FYI: i started playing reach 1 month after you and i have other games than Halo so please, don't try to be Mister I'm-better-than-you, especially not in the internet.

It would have been found eventually. Someone would have noticed that jumping through the rings produces a note, and then at some point someone would have tried to replicate the Gregorian chant from Halo using the rings, and would have been rewarded with IWHBYD.

And like I say, there are parts of the disk that data miners haven't been able to access.

And on top of that, this is Bungie's swansong. They meant IWHBYD to be an easter egg that would take years to find, and they need to top that with Reach.

I Wouldn't be able to say as i'm not a modder.
But i'm guessing modders could go in the level options, take a look at the enemies scripted in the level and see if there are any Golden Rangers or just Banshees acting like BOBs.

Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't, none of us possess a time machine to see what would of happened. What is done, is done.

And like i say, If you give a moder everything, he needs, the disk basically, no matter how hard it is to unlock, it will be unlocked.
If it was on the disk, it would of been found and exposed.
Nothing is "un-hackable".
Given people are able to hack into government related organisations, i'm pretty sure petty hackers can unlock stuff on a disk.
Heres a nice read on the Anonymous Hacking Group if you never heard of it.


Being Bungie's last game, you would of expect a Legendary ending at least, an ending need i remind you, has been confirmed not to exist by many.

If you have a lack of the most known easter egg *legendary ending*, how can you expect to find some master conspiracy with BOBs.

First of all, I never claimed any Legendary Ending existed. And second, it's undeniable that there's a lot of stuff in Reach that's still unexplained. BOBs, data pads, and of course, the omnipresent Defiant Helmet. This thread may not be correct, but it's certainly doing a darn good job of linking everything together with little or no loose ends.

And I still say the helmet exists. Bungie know how to advertise. They wouldn't show pics of this helmet if it didn't exist for the community. That's not good business sense. People don't buy from you if they think you're a douche.

EDIT: My guess is that Bungie has some plan for Reach still, and all we can do is sit tight and wait to see what it is.

dont be too sure of that.
Electronic arts and criterion both have burned their bridges after the fiasco with NFS- HP and then that godawful shift 2.

they released a Bunch of dlcs that werent worth the money.
customer service is a joke and their own autolog keeps booting players randomly.

their advice appears to be,dump your friends list,to make the autolog for your friends work right....yeah..im serious..thats how well they made the autolog...sic*

over on the nfs forums,you cant get an honest answer from Any of those devs or techs!!

yet somehow nfs hp still got game of the year and made millions.
go figure...

Just to put it aside, i wasn't referring to you or anyone when i mentioned the lack of legendary ending.

As for the loose ends, sure some of them can be tied together.
But other are pure speculation.
This is where i mention the OP claiming BOBs act like skulls from H3.
There is no backbone to that at all, just flesh.


I do want to say, i never said the helmet doesn't exist, since it does, just, not to the general public.
There are probably numerous things that never made into the final cut that the devs still have access too.

But as far as that helmet is concerned, there is just more proof that we are not getting it than the opposite.


As for the advertising, wasn't the defiant map pack made exclusively by 343i and not Bungie, the later only being involved in playlist updates and matchmaking stuff.
I would also like an explanations, as many would to, as to why it was used in the publicity to end all this heated debate about it.


Off-topic: Glad to see someone here is able to give some sort of constructive post to what im saying other than "your a troll herp derp". Just because i dissagree with the theories, does'nt make me a troll.

  • 04.21.2011 7:22 AM PDT

Kira isn't a troll, he only has different opinions :) Let him be, it keeps the mind fresh ;)

So, yesterday i started Winter C. on Legendary > Mission Start:

I rushed to the first driving Truck and raced down the road under the broken bridge and past the structure. Close to the warzone there was a BOB, i punched and punched and killed him :)
Nothing interesting happened at mission complete.

I redid it on easy or normal and i only used melee kills through the map. Same thing: nothing happens :(

What if you sky-jack the banshees over a building and banshee bomb whatever comes out? Or maybe they're in a distant building. I'll help look. And it would make sense if you had to find all the data-pads, though I've only found them on Long Night of Solace and Winter Contingency.

I know killing 77 of them doesn't do anything. I was hoping that 77 was the lucky number. Like in Marathon theirs an achievement for killing 77 of them. I have killed 107 of these BOBs. I'm still missing two of them however.
