My best guess is that you need to complate the game on Legendary or Mythic, kill EVERY BOB and hit ALL the switches.
Thing is, who has the time, patience, nerve and skill to do it?

Read how to unlock vidmaster in marathon in my previous post, ph. 39

Don't know if anyone has said it yet, but maybe there is one GOLDEN BOB on every level and a few SILVER BOBS on other levels but not all of them just like on halo 3?

what if you have to board the banshee and you could kick the bob out MAYBE on top of a building and then kill him? that would take some serious skillage.
great thread though.

Bungie needs to make a game covering the Covanent side of the story on reach

Maybe the banshees are just the wanna be BOB's (the white ones) and the gold BOB is somewhere more obvious. Just saying. Could be wrong. If you don't know what a wanna be BOB is go on youtube and look it up. There is one of every class on the ONI Sword base level. Even a white ranger BOB and he counts as a wanna be (Don'y worry I know BOB's are ranger class)

maybe you have to kill the wanna be's along with all of the BOB spawn points.

As I lay in bed, staring at the stars I thought: "Where the hell is the ceiling"

Sigh.

For the two posts a couple of posts above me:

The white bobs have already been suggested, but they don't give you the medal, nor do they count as BOBS.

The BOB's banshee CANNOT be Hijacked. At all.

  • 05.01.2011 7:28 AM PDT

well as far as the banshees being wannabees the wannabees actually give u the medal for killing them but the banshees do not!! has anyone tried killing a bob on every level and on every difficulty?

P.S. this just came to me while i take the biggest poop of my lifE!!! smh

This thread is entertaining stuff, first the defiant pack gave armour and then the bobs. What's next, Moas?


Kira is correct, your theory is good but without even the slightest shred of proof you cannot expect anyone with common sense to believe it.

39 pages going on 40 and now the topic is titled with a plea to bungie. I bet they are laughing as hard as the rest of us. :)


Sorry Game but I think you are clutching at straws and ultimately just wasting your own time. Still tho, it is your time and I wish you luck in this fruitless search. :)

I will now sit back and observe with barely contained amusement.


You don't know Bungie very well.

Also, as someone who never got into Marathon, could you explain what the vidmaster run was?

ALSO, from what I hear about it, everything from the BOBS to the switches seem to be complete references, and that Helmet looks suspiciously like the one from Marathon.

The thing is, everything links up so well for a reason. Only an idiot would think there's nothing to be found. An idiot, or someone who doesn't know Bungie very well at all.


Bungie don't tend to put HUGE extravagantic challenges into their games and when they do they sign post them like nobodies business (See the pelican egg and the road to recon).
The biggest eggs in Halo games have usually turned out to be false (see Delta Halo switch, Secret of Sandtrap, and the Reach Legendary Ending (possibly)) the community has a bad habit of coming up with ridiculous theories and pushing them as fact.
Only an idiot would think that Bungie put in easter eggs on the crazy scales that are often suggested by the community. What I'm basically saying is, don't think too big, because there is so very often nothing to be found.

Did anyone see the bob helmet in any pics recently? like the pic under the helmetbook pic in this weekly update.

There was another pic of the helmet also but i forget where in the weekly update i saw it.

  • 05.01.2011 7:58 AM PDT

Has anyone tried simply killing a colossal number of BoBs? I mean, it does say "Wipe them out". Maybe kill like 7777, or 117,000 or some other number significant to Bungie... Just a thought...

  • 05.01.2011 7:58 AM PDT

Been playing since pong, and you?

Here is the hint. New Map Pack soon!!!!

in Exodus i have found one non-banshee BOB. i was on co-op legendary and as soon as i started i went to the club and the music was off (maybe glitch)he was just walking around so i killed him quickly after that i went outside and my falcon was gone (i was playing co-op on the same xbox so i could see if the other person had it and they didnt) im pretty sure it was BOB but it was a long time ago like december. if someone would check this out again maybe it'll help?
You are an obvious liar, and a horrible troll. Everyone ignore this post, I can tell he is lying because covenant AI cannot pilot a falcon correctly, and he referred to New Alexandria as exodus
whatever like i said i havnt played the campaign since i beat it on legendary in december. and i didnt say the falcon was stolen i just said it dissapeared it couldv respawned due to the extreme lag that occured after i got to the club.

Every word you said is a lie. You never played New Alexandria or Exodus on Legendary and you should really stop impeding the progress of those who are working here. Don't bother to say "But wait I did it offline!" if that was the case there would be no lag at all and your falcon wouldn't have respawned. In NA could we possibly board the banshee and shoot where the bob should be, if he really is inside the banshee and not somewhere else?
how have i never played it on legendary? check my achievements. and it WILL SAY EARNED OFFLINE. i have had reach lag offline before and it is possible it will happen again. next time will you please get your facts right before you say something and maybeit would make you less of a troll? and maybe if you complete the vidmasters on marathon and beat it on the hardest mode (i have not played marathon before) and beat reach on legendary solo maybe it will unlock it?

That guy is an idiot, but I don't believe you either. Splitscreen Games don't normally have that much lag... Unless you parked it wrong and it fell, I guess.

you kno? i never did think about it falling? that might have been it? i have had a banshee knock my falcon off a building before while i was searching for random stuff?

Well. Nothing more to add mate. There has to be something. Look at the Halo 3, and IWHBYD skull. If the way to unlock it, wouldn't be hacked in few days, it would be very hard to find. Maybe even after more than a year, still not every god damn "" Pro Kid "" would run with Hayabusa armor online.

So it's normal that people are trying to find something in Reach. I believe that there is something hide, and this fu...ing thread just makes me think about it all the time. OP, you're smart, but I hate you !! :P

One more thing. Does anyone remember the name of first Weekly Challenge ? It was something like " 51 to go ". I was thinking for some time, that it is possible that Bungie, has some reward for those who complete all weekly challenges in the first year. So, anyone here can make us jelly, and say that, so far, completed all Weekly Chalanges ?

I think at this point we need to get a conformation with someone at Bungie that there truly is actually something to be found/unlocked. I am not asking for its location or anything like that I just think it would be fair for us to know if there really is something to discover.

It would be a jerk move to allow us to continue searching for something that doesn't even exist.


That have said that there is something. They have also implied that they made it impossible to find through hacking (See: IWHBYD skull in Halo 3).

That is great. Can you post a link as proof?

It may be a jerk move, but they've done it before. The secret of sandtrap egg obviously didn't exist, and they have not to this day clarified that there was or wasn't anything there. I reckon the sit in their offices loling at us all day XD. That being said, there is some fairly solid proof that there is something there this time round.

But has anyone wrote them a letter specifically asking if something was there or not like I had suggested in an earlier post.

Driven by success.
Follow me if you wish:@JamilDeanTriaa

We will report back if anything happens once the Lone Wolf BOB (Legendary) is killed. I have killed every BOB on each level on Legendary apart from Lone Wolf. We have to crack this mystery once and for all.
