Alright, i just watched a video of a easter egg on exodus and there is a hallway that is locked when you first go past it. But if you backtrack to it with jetpack it is open. The BoB on exodus could be at the end of the hallway.

Some people say that there is nothing hidden on the disk, like a new armor or new helmet but what about redeeming a code trough xbox live and receive a dlc ?! It's a good way to hide something from hackers.

Just an idea.


Well apartently this isn't practical because the armor is coded into each invidiual level, this isn't coming from me it's from Kira. I don't know if it's true or not but that's what he said.


ANd my source is from people that actually saw the source code of reach.

DLC can mean 2 things
1- Disk Locked Content
2- Downloadable Content.

Redeeming a code will usually unlock disk lock content, Reach Recon/Flaming helmet/Elite Major are examples of those.
On the disk but locked unless you have the access code for it.
The bungie blue flame is also locked content.

In the case of downloadable content, this is not on the disk, its extra material added after the game release and is usually brand new. New map packs for example.

In the case of the "Bob helmet", the disk has been searched and data mined multiple times and nowhere on the disk is the mesh files for that helmet found, thus removing the "its locked on the disk" theory leaving the "download" one left.

But knowing how the maps are coded, hard coded with each armor piece available", you have 3 options left for "new armor".
1- Make new armor only available on the new maps packs.
But this option is flawed as well, you're only able to use it on the new maps and only those having that map pack will see it.
Other will probably get an error or code to see default Mark V [B]. This option still requires an update of the pre-existing maps.
2- Re-code all the currently existing maps/lobbies/firefight/campaign, in other words, recode nearly all the game.
Such an update is no small task to do and you also have to consider the size of it and the users.
Some users, such as myself, don't necessarily have a large amount of HDD space left.
Even tho Evil Otto himself said to not take him for a Bungie spoke's person,you do have to take info that such an update would be fairly large as mentioned above.

If they do take into consideration this update, it would cause some problems. As said above once again, some people don't have to room for it, not everybody has a high-speed internet and some providers even have a download/upload bandwidth limit per month.

IMO, the best option would be number 3, but it still presents some problems.
3- Re-release Halo Reach.
This would still cause some problems as people would be required to get their hands on the new disk and could cause some problems with alot of users that can't necessarily get their hands on it.
You also have to consider production costs.
This options would still cause a temporary problem, but out of all the 3, would be the best one to choose.


tl:dr -> Don't bother answering me if you didn't read.

PS: i do have to add i find it people fingering me out as a troll simply because i differ opinion about this tread.
Instead of blindly jumping to conclusions and making up near-crazy theories that have no back-bone to them, i look up my info, i take a look at it from a neutral stand point and then later make my opinion about it.

I am probably wrong but wasn't the bob from new Alexandria on top of the club Erra building after you did something. I remember seeing a guide for the daily challenge on this.

Your welcome, and data pads have most defenetly nothing to do with bobs.

maybe that we need to search bobs on easy??? lol
but not just the bobshees aren't skyjackables, the bashees at the begining of tip of the spear are too because i emp'd them with my noobtube then they were beside me and i could not do anything :S

That is correct, the only skyjackable banshees are the non-BoBshee ones on NA.

I am the God Emprah of Mankind.

Deal with it.

I approve of this theory. There are a lot of doors that open on New Alexandria and a lot of switches. Hit all the switches and maybe he will be in a room? As for Exodus I have no clue where you can find him. Maybe where the firefight map is, since ghosts come by if you stay there for too long?
Good luck my friend.

I suppose that the BOB on New Alexandria is inside some buildings, so they can only be killed using the phantom (if you don't know you can use it with a glitch),because the phantom can go through buildings.
I have also another idea, do you remember the building that falls at the start of the level? Maybe the BOB is here...


I've tried getting onto that building, it cannot be done.

Also if you fly the phantom through buildings you will die, you die pretty much the second you go inside.

same results here, the only problem is, i dont have a good internet connection here, so i cant do co-op with you guys to check all the buildings, so i guess ill have to do that level and theater it. but something else i had a theory of is that maybe like in lone wolf, he only spawns after you kill a certain number of banshees? and what about the phantoms? ive killed plenty of phantoms, but got nothing so... im not sure.

off topic: i wasnt aware that anyone except you could fly the falcon in that level while solo-ing.


It's confirmed that there is a BOB on Lone wolf, that spawns with an enegery sword and (as HaloNation says) is very aggressive. Wether he appears after killing a certain number of foes or if he appears after a set time limit I don't know, but I think bungie put him in to clean up players who had survived too long.


if i remember rightly, wasnt there a post on here on one of the early pages about someone only finding the bob after killing enough enemies? it could be similiar for both exodus and NA. and has anyone tried skyjacking a phantom? everytime ive landed on the phantom, after about a minute the phantom blows up. maybe it has something to do with skyjacking a phantom!


I never thought I'd have to say this but, phantoms cannot be skyjacked, noooo way. Besides you can get one via the pelican egg anyway.

One place left on tonight's Exodus hunt, so sign up now XD


hmmmkay. maybe, as someone said once again, its got something to do with that egg? anyway, im bored of the new alexendria, so how about some exodus ideas? ive already given my theory about it being there when the grav hammer brute is there. maybe you guys could make a mass force to get past them brutes quickly? the only use ill be here is mad yet plausible ideas and when you need a solo player who wont be interrupted to test out some solo ideas. so PM me any ideas when you need someone to solo. the highest level i can do is heroic. im best on normal and easy though. im only half way through my heroic campaign playthrough and ive died over 100 times ^^;

1st mission, as soon as you get out of the falcon rush to the 1st abandoned station, and you'll see a weird invisible thing running towards the ostrich things spawn, shoot it an it'll be an elite.....kill it it has a data pad on its back

It's a spec-ops elite with a datapad.
Only appears and legendary and this is relevant how? lol.

not to sound like a complete -blam!- hole, but this thread has nothing to do with data pad locations.

im obviously unable to attend so...dont worry about me for it. ill spend my time thinking up wacky ideas for you guys to try out ;D

  • 04.24.2011 11:49 AM PDT

Keep hunting guys. Keep your priorities on killing one BOB per mission (including in Banshees) on Legendary.

Once this is cracked, then we move onto the next theory. :D

  • 04.24.2011 11:56 AM PDT

thanks all you guys for acting like smart a55es and its relevant because it might be a type of bob

actually no its not, the BOB has already been found in that level if im not mistaken. and the only BOBs not found are the ones in NA and exo. your argument is invalid.

  • 04.24.2011 11:58 AM PDT

maybe the bobshees aren't meant to have anyone in them maybe its just empty so people cant ride in them and so they stick to "normal" gameplay

We're looking for an alternative BoB to the banshee ones on Exodus.
