Something Witty.

Click all switches and leave no BOB alive?


And kill the BOBs with only Nades and Melees? Never use sprint?

Something key:

the "Classified Intel" on this page has a URL location ending in "cp_spoiler"


maybe somebody made it, and bungie shut him up?


Why wouldn't they just remove it completely?

Any idea was CP stands for?


It stands for "Classified Page" because the link to the page in question is showing what the classified icon looks like.

Just clam down on the Over Analyzing


Over analyzing? I think over analyzing is needed in order to solve this puzzle that Bungie has proposed. Thanks for trying to stamp upon a possible path.

LC, I appreciate the effort, but that says you killed BOB on Normal on Lone Wolf.

Veiw my homepage for map downloads.

I have no idea if this has been posted before, and if it is even possible, but is there a possibility of jumping out of your banshee in mid-air during the two levels where you do not get the Search and Destroy medal, and boarding the BOB banshee in mid-air? This would cause him to fall to his death and possibly give you the medal.

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

don't ya think that "classified intel" is a little strange?


I specifically made a thread wondering this.

  • 05.01.2011 2:48 PM PDT

I've killed bob before when i killed him he just dissepeared though or is this a glitch i found him in the ship control room on long night of solace does that mean that i've found a bob or what? (he was invisable when i found him.)

Well if you want me to over analyze i will its just that, when i do it, i tend to get out of hand and spirl into madness.

But, without giving this much thought, i think these spoiler cover-up pictures are more than likely hiding the spots where the specific location of BOB's are, and yes i realize that it does show BOB's from other levels but the system might classify BOB's that are harder to find.

  • 05.01.2011 2:56 PM PDT

Mostly every BOB has been found on every difficulty. If there are any left they have to have been looked over somehow.

  • 05.01.2011 2:57 PM PDT

carter and kat up in a tree,making s-p-a-r-t-a-n l-o-v-e.then emile came along

yeah Ive always wondered what that was about. maybe to find the Bobs in NA and Exodus you need to activate all skulls and collect all the data pads?I mean like play through story mode and collect all the data pads,kill all the Bobs level by level? Just thought i'd put it out there

  • 05.01.2011 2:58 PM PDT

I've done that, and nothing happens.

Guys, I think we need to research deeper. Look up EVERYTHING on BOBs through Marathon websites, look at older Reach videos for any "BOB" Helmets we might have missed, ANYTHING!

I take it from the lack of replies that this has already been tested?

  • 05.01.2011 3:02 PM PDT

Saito, you can't board any Banshees in these levels unless you hit a switch that allows you to, as we have seen in the Pelican and Phantom Easter Egg on New Alexandria.

Now, if you can be quick enough, you might be able to hit the switch on New Alexandria and when BOB spawns in at 5:00 try and board his Banshee, but he boosts too quickly and it would be difficult to do so.

I think earlier in the thread it states you cannot hijack boosting banshees

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding, haven't played the campaign, or Halo Reach in general in quite some time. Do BOBs only appear in single player? If not, it may be possible to do it with two people, once again I doubt this is the case or else somebody probably would have tried this by now.

Shhh, don't tell Sage!
Holy freedom fries!

Just found something interesting on Exodus.
I don't know if it was already found, but floating over deaths barriers counts as interesting.
Posting link in a few..

How do you plan on boarding the banshee on Exodus? :P

But a plasma pistol shot from a player in the passenger seat of the falcon would solve the "no hijacking boosting banshees" problem for new alexandria.



To OP, how about all BOBs on mythic difficulty? I trust you're doing that one if legendary doesn't work?

Still not sure if this has been posted somewhere, or if this has any relevance.

Right now I'm just looking at old Reach videos to see if I can spot the helmet (which I know I won't) and reading more about Marathon BOBs.

Looking back at Marathons BOB there was a medal/achievement for killing 77 of them

  • 05.01.2011 3:25 PM PDT
