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

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.


And I am investigating. The only thing im having trouble is, is the Legendary bob on Lone Wolf.

BOB ON EXODUS FOUND!!! :)

It's in a banshee, thus it gives no medal. Our goal is to achieve a medal in every level.

Get 35+ kills or kill 14 elites and he'll show up with an energy sword and one hell of a temper.

Can someone please tell me what the hell a BOB is? Is it the weird helmet ive seen in the screenshots flying around the forum?


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.


Thank YOU, I AM GLAD somebody agrees, because you see first hand that many people do not yet know what BOB's are and by the time Bungie Day rolls around they might just do what i explained in my theory.

Yes you do. Well, maybe you don't, but it is highly achievable. It might help to take shelter in one of the buildings.

In all honesty everyone if we could find BOB's on all of other levels then its more than likely that we already found the BOB's and we did kill them, and now (like i explained in my theory) it is just a matter of time before Bungie unveils the curtain on this great mystery.

My primary line of logic of why Bungie might consider unveiling the secrets of BOB's is because of their acknowledgment with the communities interest in BOB's.

To be honest, I don't think Bungie would make us do something that hard. But I am still going through this horror just in case.

Now I've finished reading all of them, here are my answers/corrections to some things that need answering and correcting.

Theory: Complete the Oath Vidmaster from Marathon: Picture Here

Theory: In-Progress


In relation to that picture, where it says "Level 7" Could that be Exodus/New Alexandria, depending on whether or not Noble Actual counts. Zero Shotting New Alexandria on Legendary isn't hard, and just kill the BoB on that mission.

Use Ultimate RC's method of highjacking the Banshee for the Hospital so you can do it without shooting.

Edit: Hang on!
All Switches - New Alexandria switches
No shooting - Speaks for itself
Total Carnage - top difficulty (Mythic maybe?)
Kills BoB - obviously.
Start at level 7 - New Alexandria

I'm pretty sure the picture points to New Alexandria.


Total carnage = Legendary
The level 7 thing is just what the person happened to have selected, the Vidmaster was a challenge that could be done on any level, independent of the others.

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?


There is no such thing as "impossible to find by hacking" it simply doesn't exist.

Can you get into the Corvette on Exodus?


I reeeeeeeeeeaalllly doubt it. Maybe a cowbell skull + concussion rifle + truckload of grenades + warthog superbounce might be able to do it, but I doubt it's possible.

Something key:

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


That's because the Classified Intel image is the one used to cover up campaign spoilers before they removed that block.


Now,

REGARDING BOB KILL TEAM:

We had something of a stuff up to do with lag and me having to go (my fault sorry) so things didn't go quite as planned. We will be having another go shortly. I would like to clarify that my aim is NOT to kill one per level on Legendary but rather to kill ALL of them on legendary, hitting all switches where it will not make the level incompletable (thanks WPooney).

On a lighter note, this is a brillant picture to go with this thread, all credits go to it's owner, not me.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=172803 58

Can somebody hack their way around the Classified Intel sticker to find out where it was supposed to go? I'm reading the page source now but I'm not good with HTML so I doubt I'm going to get far.

Ok people, I have found the HTML code that seems to pertain to the dishing out of Classified Intel tags.
Like I said I've only briefly touched on HTML so could someone with more experience possibly take a stab at what this means:



<span class="rule"></span>

</div><div id="ctl00_ctl00_mainContent_searchResultsRepeater_ctl03_ contentMini_reportFileSpamPanel">

</div>
</div>


<div id="ctl00_ctl00_mainContent_searchResultsRepeater_ctl03_ contentMini_deletedPanelPanel">

<div class="clear"></div> </li>


<li id="ctl00_mainContent_searchResultsRepeater_ctl04_conten tMiniLi" idx="4"><div id="ctl00_ctl00_mainContent_searchResultsRepeater_ctl04_ contentMini_contentPanelPanel">
<div id="ctl00_ctl00_mainContent_searchResultsRepeater_ctl04_ contentMini_reportFileSpamPanel">

</div>
</div>

<div>
<a class="thumbLink"><img src="/images/reachstats/fileshareicons/cp_spoiler.png&qu ot; style="border:none;" width="210" height="117" alt="" /></a>
<div class="info">
<div class="corner topRight"></div>

<div class="corner bottomLeft"></div>
<div class="content">
<h5>Classified Intel</h5>
<p></p>
<p class="description" >We had a problem loading this item, it might have been deleted, or there was an error.</p>
</div>
</div>
<span class="rule"></span>

Yes I was thinking if this was how you would get the mystery armor it would have to be greater than 77

He'd have instantly stopped and knelt down, one fist on the ground, hoping to be impervious to the officer's attacks. When this would have failed and he's in the back of the police car, he'd blame his predicament on his friends for not being team players.

Because all campaign spoilers used the same picture. Also, all the HTML code dictates is where and how the picture is applied to the webpage.

####################PLEASE READ IMPORTANT!!!!!###################

(No, I do not do that for everything, this really is important).

I think the one thing we might be missing is this:

There must be a pointer.
Allow me to explain:
IF say for instance the solution to this is to kill 117 BoBs on Legendary (for instance) then how are we supposed to know that?
If you look at the IWHBYD skull, Bungie didn't make use jump through hoops in random orders till we found it, they made the rings play notes so you could work out to play the Halo theme with it.

With other eggs they left switches lying around so that when people found them they would think "What does this do?".

The Halo 2 skulls had names, so when a person found one, they would draw from it's having a name that there would be more.
(Think about it, if there was only one it would be "The skull" it would have no need for a distinguishing name).

Logically, if there is something they expect us to find, they must have left something somewhere pointing to how we are supposed to do, a pointer.

TL;DR there is a clue to what we need to do, somewhere.

I'm thinking that perhaps they are applying this image to cover images of things they don't want leaked yet (BoB locations, the helmet itself, etc). I was wondering if the reason for the image's application was in that code, but it looks to me like it may be used when the image is actually lost, from the description of the class. (I apologise if I am totally wrong, I'm a Python programmer, not HTML).

I have a question. On Winter Contingency on ledgendary difficulty at the very begining of the level when you get off your falcon there is an invisible elite that stands in front of the big metal gates and as soon as you exit your falcon he starts running toward the moa. As soon as he gets around the corner he disappers into thin air. Has anyone killed this elite? And is he a BoB? He is always there as long as you have it set on ledgendary. which makes me wonder if he actually is a Bob or not. Can anyone enlighten me?

P.S. I know i cant spell very well I'm just typing this really fast so I can continue reading the thread.

  • 05.01.2011 4:59 PM PDT

Ok there is a daily challenge that comes up every so often that says kill a bob on any level to get the cR well what im saying to you guys is! use this daily challenge to find out if those bobshees are true on exodus as we already know it works on new alexandrea (the low and fast daily is strictly for NA theres another for any level use this one when it comes abck aroudn and only play exodus and kill the banshees u speak of) if its true itll give u the challenge as far as the medal !! well bungie verify s u killing a bob on NA with the low and fast daily challenge however you still get no acknowledgement via a medal!!


DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE??

Its just a normal Spec Op Elite. Once you kill him, he will drop the first Data pad.
