It's fine, just check back in once you've killed the Bob on Lone Wolf Legendary and we'll see what happens.

Personally, I don't even want that ugly helmet, assuming it exists. But the idea that it might be hidden for some reason has me interested.

Im saying that in the Marathon Oath picture that The Game had posted, at the bottom it said 7 out of 88. This could be a reference to how many BOB's someone has to kill on legendary before something else happens.

You are looking way too much into that in the wrong way. No doubt some campaign fanatic already has hundreds of this medal anyway.

I did and I disagree. If this helmet is real, then we most likely already can access it. I'm also ready to get an actual Bob medal on Exodus...

How do you know. He might be right. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! WAAY OUTSIDE THE BOX!!

The best event in the Halo series was the grunt rebellion!

Listen to some of this on, this site.

I have been following this thread for roughly two weeks and have contemplated the following theory:

1. The reason why the BOB's on EXODUS and NEW ALEXANDRIA don't count towards the progression of BOB kills is because Bungie is not allowing those two levels to receive the medal.

Allow me to explain, there are 10 levels where you can kill BOB's and the two that dont give out medals both feature BOBSHEE's.

According to the unlocking method stated by someone else on this forum if you get 9 out of 10 BOB medals you get a chest piece, and 10 out of 10 you get the Helmet; this would leave players with only 8 out of 10 levels to earn the medals meaning you will never unlock it until Bungie flips a certain switch.

Granted BS Angel probably has the armor pieces because of her status and her employment at "343i" and Bungie more than likely clued her in on how normal players would have to go about to get these armor pieces, but also told her that it would not be unlockable until they say so.

So in short i think Bungie is telling the games servers to not grant players any BOB medals for the two levels in question until they see fit. As far as when this date occurs, i believe with Bungie's acknowledgment of the communities interest in the BOB helmet (as stated in the most recent BWU) that the date they flip this "switch" will more than likely be on 7/7/11 or to many of the community members "BUNGIE DAY", because by then most of the community will be clued in on BOB's and what their true function is.

TL/DR: Bungie Day is when we will see the medals for Exodus and New Alexandria "count"/"appear" in our online profile, and as a result will be when players can start unlocking these two armor pieces.



Well all of the NA switches haven't been found. We need to search.

Trying to match 88 levels of Marathon with 88 Bobs is completely inside the box, not to mention unfounded. We haven't even tested the Bob on every level on Legendary theory yet. There needs to be more investigation and less guesswork here.

The helmet you've seen is currently known as the "BOB" helmet, due to it's characteristic similarities to an enemy called "BOB" in a previous game. It has been linked to certain elites that wear ranger armor in the campaign that when killed are referred to as "BOB"s in stats.

You entered a thread and failed to read the OP. You're a tool.

It's a golden ranger class elite in Reach, and it's an NPC in Marathon: Durandal.

I think the theory of Bungie holding the medal back until Bungie day seems quite possible.
