Subject: Regarding BOBS. (Read Whole Post)

I believe the one on New Alexandria is flying a banshee. If no one knew.

Never mind, the main topic should be updated on what people have found. I am not reading the entire topic.

I'm going to kill a BOB on every level on every difficulty. GUYS I THINK THAT YOU NEED TO BOARD THE BANSHEE BOB's AND KILL THEM WHEN THEY ARE GROUND SIDE. Just a brain wave but it could be something as simple as that!


Thats something.

HAS anyone actually tried hyjacking the Banshee BOBs?
It's still a banshee, so it must be hyjackable one way or another-even if it is rock solid to do so.

What if we hyjack the New Alexandria Banshee BOB by skydiving on COOP, and EMP the supposed one on Exodus-

Could we have finally found an idea to make this work?


If you had read, you would of saw that you cannot hijack the banshees, EMP or not.
And besides, somebody posted an image of them being pilot-less.

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

I think a few more things need clarifying, I hope people read this and it cuts down on some of the unessecary going around in circles that's going on here.

1: Just to clarify for ever after, the Bobshees CANNOT be hijacked, no EMPing, no jumping on them, nothing.

2: The armor on the Spartan's in Lone Wolf is generated through a random selection of parts from the armor parts ingame. The armor is not stored in the same way as in the armory, as can be observed with the hologram glitch (look it up on Halopedia). This can cause combinations of parts not usually possibly, like the Commando Helmet with one of those orange comm modules on the both sides.

3:This is really to Kira, while armor DLC is impossible because everyone would have to have it to be able to see it, patching armor into the game through a forced update is not impossible by any stretch of the imagination.

4:Also, Thank you Doomfish for supporting Kira and helping keep this thread sane, he's not a troll, he's just skeptical, he doesn't believe in the helmet being unlocked via the BoBs but I do, yet you don't see me fighting with him.

Thank you everyone for your attention, feel free to quote this to answer people in the future =P.

If you can't hyjack them fair enough

but i had a feeling that it would spawn/materialise if it was hyjacked, as it would need an enemy there to trigger the animation.

I didn't know you can't hyjack them, where did you see this? cause you can hyjack all the others on New Alexandria...

It's been confirmed to apply to ALL exodus banshees, so it would figure it would also apply to this one. Either way we know there is no pilot so even if you could board it nothing would come out.

I jsut want to point out that the Reach system uses a hard coded style.

Each map, loby, firefight, campign contains each and every single piece of armor you can find in the armory, and some with the NPC only pieces.
The maps are then compressed to take up less space in the disk to make room for other stuff.

Adding new armor to the game means adding new coding to basically everything.

While technically possible, doing a such update would be rather large and quite frankly, not the wisest possibility.

Do note this would only be for 1 piece of armor.
More pieces would require more codding and a bigger update all the time.

I think we should expand our search a little.

If you listened to the interview with Frank O'Connor he clearly stutters at 4:15. This might give something away. I suggest we search the Defiant Maps for some secrets. I will try and look at them the next few days.

Frank O'Connor Interview: Skip to 4:10


I think this might be a red herring. Think about it - there's no new armor with Defiant, that we know for sure. SO WHY DID HE STUTTER? My guess is he knew about the stir the mystery helmet was creating and took the opportunity for some ad-lib promotion of Defiant.

I disagree with you. That did not at all seemed planned. Don't forget, at this point there was no conversation over the mystery armor. The map pack hadn't been released yet.


That's the point - at that momment it strikes him that hinting at new armor in Defiant might boost sales, so he tries to ad-lib it and bungles it. He doesn't strike me as the sort of guy who copes well on-camera, so it wouldn't surprise me. You may have a point about the timing though, but don't forget that it might not be connected to the mystery helmet at all - the question might just have prompted him to respond like he did.

Also, the OP really needs an update. So many people come in suggesting we hijack the Bobshees and I don't blame them for that (it's a good idea), but it's not easy to fish through the old ideas to find new ones we haven't tried yet.

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 think it was confirmed that the banshees cannot be boarded


It has been, several times, people just keeping asking this though.


I'm sorry. But has anyone checked in distant buildings? (in New Alexandria)

  • 04.21.2011 6:55 PM PDT

*READ*

I think someone needs to finish the campaign all the way through on legendary and get the first 9 data pads in order. Then start it on legendary again and play all the way through getting the next 10 data pads in order making 19 all in sequence.

If nothing is found, doing this on LASO, all switches (easter eggs) activated, and all known BOBs killed (seek and destroy medal on every level) then there probably is a better chance of something happening.

*If nothing happens, well then there is no special easter egg or new armor and people can stop looking/hoping...

-If someone wants to take on this insane challenge, it's probably best to do it with a team of four like the vidmaster in Halo 3, just to be safe. Add me if you would like and I'd be glad to help accomplish this, although I cannot play until Monday night.

*Also, this obviously can only be accomplished once all BOBs are found. (BOBs that give a seek and destroy medal)

**On a more current note, I think people should focus on New Alexandria and Exodus. As I stated before, the only data pads with a secret message that is easy to see are the two found on New Alexandria. Coincidence? The data pads should be studied a bit more.

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

The helmet definitally exists. I remember a thread a while back about a guy spamming the Holo glitch and getting the helmet as one of the holograms. I can't find the thread, though.

I did dig up this maybe it has something to do with the button pushing part?

This is a very interesting theory. I'll keep my eye on this thread.


EDIT

I just realized. The pelican easter egg removes bounderies from the NA map. Maybe the BOB spawns at a certain time inside one of the Battlecruisers over NA?

OK. enough about the helmet already, geez. thats only a sub topic of this thread anyway. the main point is trying to find the BOBs that may or may not exist out of banshees in New Alexandria and Exodus. also New Comers to the Thread, Acutally read the first five pages, as most questions being asked in the later pages are answered there.

  • 04.21.2011 8:03 PM PDT

http://www.youtube.com/user/reptilian178 copy and paste this and go to the page, reptillian found about 78 or so bobs this might help you guys (im trying to find the bobs ever since this thread started but its hard as hell

  • 04.21.2011 8:21 PM PDT

There must be another BOB, one that is not in banshee, that for some reason has not been found yet.

  • 04.21.2011 8:25 PM PDT

well now i know y BOBs are so important. i killed alot of them during campaign and i hav never noticed the metal.

This is perfect. It sums up everything. I fully belive in the OP. This could easily be correct. I will try to figure out how to kill these BOB.

Bingo, there is a missing piece that needs to be investigated!

  • 04.21.2011 8:43 PM PDT

I still think there is something to be found in the new map packs. It may not necessarily be new armor but I definitly think it will be something cool.
