Does the White BOB on Oni Sword Base contribute to this?
Here
I've been trying to find this out.



yeah. as stated before, we think of them as "silver skulls". there are at least 8 different silver-bobs. one per armor permutation.

to follow the "kill all bobs" theory, you would have to exterminate each of them.


Just another note to add to this, they do yield the medal when killed I believe.

The reason I state my opinions as "facts" is to get people motivated and thinking.

I am debunking my own theories everyday. For example, one BOB kill per mission gives you nothing on Easy-Normal difficulty. Now I am gathering one BOB kill on each mission for Legendary.

Just keep searching. Kira has NO proof of what he is saying, so just ignore him. ;)

My proof has been stated numerous times. You probably mindlessly threw it aside and called me a troll for disagreeing with your theory.

Now ill ask you pretty much the same question. Try to not avoid it this time.

Do you hold any proof, at all, of anything your bringing forth?

Let me remind them to you
1. BOBS work like Halo: 3 skulls, since the campaign had no skull collectables, or collectables that reward the player something.

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.

3. Halo: 3 had a huge mystery, the IWHBYD skull, and hackers ruined it fast. Bungie isn't going to make the same mistake again.
Last one is debatable.



But again, i want to hear what you can come up with to back 1 & 2.

Oh and the "BOB" helmet is NOT a 343/ Bungie exclusive, as we have only seen a few pictures of it off the Defiant map pack, and we don't know if 343 or an IGN member was wearing it.

As we seen in Halo:3 quite a bit, all Bungie employees wore Recon pretty much, we have NEVER actually seen anyone from Bungie or 343 wearing this, just a picture from IGN of "someone" using the helmet and chest piece. Why though?

Why would 343, knowing we have never seen this helmet before, show it off in the public eye in HQ pictures? It's not just for publicity, it's for awareness. They are, without words, telling us there is an unknown helmet that exists.

Armor DLC is impossible, and in order for the reviewers of IGN, or a 343 studio member to wear this helmet, it has to be on the disk.

Kira, I don't read any of your posts to be 100% honest. You don't agree with what we are doing, just leave us alone. Let us "waste" our time, and go on with your life.

That being said, you have to watch it on this forum, people tend to take unproven nonsense and run with it (see Delta Halo Switch and The "thing" under Sandtrap).

heres a theorie what if the new alexandra and exodus bobs are the silver skulls and dont give you the medals just how halo 3 silvers gave no achivements ... just an idea btw cos the oni bobs despite colour and having odd armour perms still give the medal

IGN get their info like any other iformation website, from the devs themselves. What they had was given by either 343i/Bungie.

We probably dont see it as its most probably used only in the dev version of Reach.
Dev versions usualy allow for quick editing between matches to test new implentations.

Everybody wants to know why they used it.
But fact is, WE DO NOT HAVE IT IN OUR GAME.
Get that in your feeble little head.

This is probably the reason why i find you to be a quite stuborn idiot. You dont even read my post.

I agree with the BOB hunt has it could find more of them.
I disagree with your ideas that it will unlock new armor or anything at all.

#########################PLEASE READ THIS######################

Ok I'd just like to clarify a few things.

1: We have no proof this has anything to do with the switches except for the description of the Vidmaster in Marathon, and I would like to remind everyone this has never been called a vidmaster challenge. Similarly the Halo 3 Vidmasters for recon were called vidmasters yet entailed no Bob killing or switch pushing, so it's not a definite that just because we have Bobs that need killing it is a vidmaster.

2: The switches are their own self contained easter eggs which (to my knowledge) we know the purpose of all of them (Pelican Egg, Reach Racer, Tribute Room and The Package Banshees).

3: If we agree with the general consensus that there is no secret helmet on the disk, then we must assume the helmet is going to come from Bungie/343, which would require them to patch EVERYONE's games, so this would have to come in a proper patch, not in a map pack or secretly just to people who have unlocked the helmet.

4: The data pads are again their own seperate egg. We have abosolutely nothing to link them to the Bobs or the helmets. They are never mentioned in marathon at all or in the vidmaster which makes them much less likely to be part of this.

5: The data pads also have their own rewards. They provide a piece of backstory to the plot, were as the Bobs just provide a medal, and there's a lot of them for one medal.

6: Also, LASO =/= The marathon vidmaster. The marathon vidmaster was on Total Carnage, which would basically equal Legendary difficulty in Halo terms. Possibly with the Iron skull on because:

6A: It was a requirement for many of the Halo 3/ODST Vidmasters

6B: The Marathon Vidmaster required you not to die.

7: Kira Onime is not a troll, he just can see the folly of many of the things we do. The number of times we (this forum) have invented easter eggs on a grand and ridiculous scale is
probably too many to count I'm talking about

7A:The "What's Under Sandtrap?" Easter Egg from Halo 3 (Which didn't exist).

7B:The Halo 2 "Golden Warthog/Triangle Gates/Delta Halo Switch" Easter Egg, which was also a collection of community generated myths.

8:Does anyone know how exactly this "data-mining" activity is done, because I can't find any infomation on how it's done, or what people can see.

9:There is also NO verified connection to the Halo 3 skulls, yes there was one on each level, but so was there in Halo 2 and I'm sure it is true of many other things through out the series, it's just a common way to distribute things, one to each level, nice clean and simple.

10:Lastly I'm not saying we should stop looking for this, because the evidence in the first post is pretty definite, but I'm saying we should probably narrow our search to the bobs rather than looking at all of the other eggs, which are their own contained things.


The man has a point. I think all of us (including me) got a little carried away...

  • 04.21.2011 11:13 AM PDT

Bungie is known for secrets. Like giant soccer balls in halo 2, along with the scarab gun which is real because ive used it. Skulls in halo 2 and 3. The terminals in halo 3. And even secrets in ODST. I think that in Reach, BOB's do take place of skulls, and LASO missions may have a tie to them, but the switches must be only for -blam!-s and giggles. They almost always end with a funny scenario or mini game. I would suggest not focusing on the switches, and staying on the BOB's and datapads. That seems like the best option. One thing at a time.

Silver Bobs (or atleast the ONI Sword Base one) give you the medal. Also, we have no reason to believe the Halo 3 skulls (or the Halo 2 before anyone even mentions that) have anything to do with this.

  • 04.21.2011 11:15 AM PDT

Game, please stop fighting Kira. He actually comes with constructive criticism.


The "is not on disc" argument is, and will always be a good one, until the opposite is proved.

Allthough, the lack of a mesh file (2D texture) can be explained by it being hidden, and with a changed file type. (like if you temporarily change a .gif to a .txt) Or it could be downloaded via universal update.

read my edit im saying maybe no medal is awarded for the same reason as no achievement in halo 3 it is relevant because it would mean these bobs will count if you killed them and all the others on a ledgendary or laso run through meaning despite the missing medal they may still count

  • 04.21.2011 11:21 AM PDT

Kira, the guy has a hypothesis. There is no reason for it to bother you. If he is wrong, you get the satisfaction of knowing that he has wasted a lot of time looking for BOBs. If he is right, we get the hidden helmet, Legendary ending, or something else cool.

:O

What are you talking about?! I've only seen 2 of them on ONI! Or are you talking about the two having 8 Perms each?

  • 04.21.2011 11:32 AM PDT


I used to edit videos and I got quite educated in that field. Let me tell you, it takes way too much time, dedication and thought to make a video (such as the one showing the helmet) to include something you didnt intend to be there.

Especially on a professional level, In a PR situation.

The new helmet was shown on purpose. Period.

The only question is:

Was it to show us something we havent seen?

Or was it a lurid display, intended to send us on a wild goose-chase?


You decide.

Yes, there are two (or more) different spawn locations, but both spawn one of eight different white bobs.

possible new banshee bob on exodus (legendary, solo, iwbyd on)

in the final part where you fight the wraiths, there is a plasma launcher brute on the bridge. when approached and attacked..a banshee flies directly above the bridge constantly boosting until it flies away. It only spawns when you get near/attack the chieftan. Thought this was interesting

I would really like to know where these 8 are, I've only heard of the two on Sword Base as well.

Not sure on this, but I think that's the "random" one people have mentioned somewhere in the thread.

Ok, this is a very interesting thread guys, and i think i have an idea!

Ok, so we know someone obviously wore the helmet and chest in the trailer. That game would of had to be real and online yeah? So that means that the helmet must be on the disc somewhere-as they would have had to obtain it somehow.

They wouldn't of been able to play together if it was a patch for that person-they would have all had to have the patch. If it was a patch, and it was online, we would have all got it by now.

My point being that there hasn't been a patch yet, so that means it must be on the disc.

So if this theory is correct, that one person would have had to get the medal on every mission to unlock it. There can't of been that many players from bungie or IGN playing for footage of that trailer. It may be time consuming but:

We should look up all known bungie members and IGN memebers from their past games BEFORE the map pack came out (if possible) and check if any of them has a BOB medal on each mission. If one of them has a medal on Exodus and New Alexandria, it may be that person wearing that armor in the trailer.

Even if it isn't, the fact that he would have the medals on the 2 missions proves that we're missing something.

Just a thought for imaginations

Hey, I think there is a BOB in Exodus (no banshee). Right in the beginning when you encounter the suicidal grunts, the BOB is in that area of the mission. Either that or I am just seeing things. Add me -

Also, just to point out, the medals only appear on Bungie.net. Could that mean we would have to unlock it through Bungie.net? (Just like Recon)

They could have used a custom dev version of the game or have patched it just for that game, if they have the ability to make a map pack they can surely do that. I think it has been thoroughly established that there is no helmet on the disc.
