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??


That's how we know they are BoBshees, we used those challenges to check them.

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.


He is a special invisible Elite who carries a data pad stuck to his back, if you kill him before he disappears he drops it and you can read it.

He is not a BOB, he just holds one of the data pads.

Sage is amazing.


His holy beard has brought us through the dark times and prevailed to bring us the best Halo experience.

I may have found a new banshee BoB on Exodus.

I THINK YOU LEFT YOU CAPS LOCK ON BTW.

Anyway,
I don't know about it being unlocked via the defiant pack, but it can't be actually on the defiant map pack, because then only people with the map pack would be able to see it.

thanks duo! i have been meaning to check that way btu always forget!
Now let me introduce myself, im nerf herder 83 and its my xbl sn as well! My goal is to kill a bob on every campaign level on all difficulties so at minimum 4 bobs per level (easy,normal,heroic,legendary) im leaving out the mythic as i do not feel the skulls are important right now(maybe after im done then ill try that as well) Im not in a huge rush to do this! just a level a day or so all 4 run thrus!

As far as the buttons and what not! ive beat the game solo on legendary anyone who calls themselves a fan should have! I have done the oni race, banshees on package, pelican glitch, grunt dance club,the trophy room on package and have found the 19 data pads 2 per level and one on lone wolf! i enjoy the easter eggs in this game and play the crap out of REACH.

So in short if you wanna help me or if you need help add me on xbl(or send me a message if my friends list is full!) and we shall play. Side bar im on 30 days of no work due to a foot surgery i just had!

P.s. sorry for the caps!! lil buzzed off my pain meds (percocets :-D) didnt realize it was on

There were skulls on the mythic packs (1 and 2) in Halo 3, so it's not unheard of... what use would skulls be though?

sorry again bout the caps! as far as it bein on the map pack i didnt say that! but what i'm saying is that 343i has big plans for reach! now i can go into detail but heres the short story! 343i is picking up where bungie gave up(i had hopes but never were fulfilled) and trying to save the halo fanbase and prepare us for their next game. If you wanna know more on my opinions ill feel free to go in depth from cannon abuse to how reach has some of the worst mp servers around right now!

Yes it does what you are trying to explain is what is stated in the theory i presented this group but they didn't understand the implied messages in the reading and took it for face value, so in essence YES u are making sense, but only to me.

  • 05.01.2011 5:25 PM PDT

Niice! well yea alot of ppl see the pic and see its condemened and assume its on the map pack! Now with 343i and the defiant map pack! i love how condemned and highlands are out of TFoR. And i cant wait til they release another map pack and TU. I think thats when we will see the BoB helmet released and hopefully with more armor! My only request is that I want it to be unlockable not purchasable! I need thinks like this to keep me playing the game!! I made it to noble and dont really care to come back! hopefully they will change my mind! Ive been a huge fan of halo since i was in highschool and we palyed the crap out of halo 3 mp in Iraq (4 player split screen on a 19in monitor is quite the challenge)

Okay okay, so i read the -blam!-load of new pages to this thread.

While there are alot of the same old going in circle stuff "hijack the bobshee makes me facepalm the most all the time lol".

I do want to point out 2 -3 things.

To the one that posted his "BoB on new alex" pictures and videos.
Those are the skirmishers you see at the beginning.
Leave one alive and they go all the way back to the grunts and possibly to the brutes... don't know, killed it at the grunts.
Also left a guest in the top for the sake of it and nothing was there as expected.


Also, just pointing out some medals seem "broken" as showed in this thread
So the bobshees not giving any medals could just be a coding error or something.



Now, who's going to call me a troll first? :)

In regards to "broken medals" read my theory on pg. 43, i make it pretty clear why the medals might not be working.

  • 05.01.2011 5:34 PM PDT

Fight to protect.
And always go down fighting.

Earlier in the forum it was mentioned that there was a "pointer" for the collectables in all the other Halo games. What if we are looking in the wrong place? Has anyone read all the Data Pads? I think it is possible that they might hold a key to all of this since it is the closest thing to a collectable we have other than the BOB Elites. I am unsure if simply collecting the Data Pads will lead to an answer or if the text on the pads holds some answeres. It is only a theory, but it couldnt hurt. If I am correct the pad on Exodus (not sure exact level if it isnt there) talks about a trial. I am not sure but it might have something to do with the word "defiant", the same name as the new map pack.

This is where people will start saying im trolling i guess but w/e.

Although it could be possible that they unlock everything at Bungie day, there are no reasons as to why some of the medals are "broken".
The one where all players have pestilence enabled doesn't award the medal in any game mode at all.

Yes your idea might be correct, but the "broken medals" is an other viable one as well.

The medal is given to any BoB you kill, the elite.
The BoBshee is considered a BoB even tho its driver less. It's only a vehicle.
Simple way to explain would be that the medal looks for an elite kill to award the medal and since, as said above, the bobshee it's driverless you get none.
No elite, no medal.


Could be revealed at Bungie day.
Could be broken as well.

remember when i said in my theory that Bungie had to flip a certain switch? What if they added drivers to the BOBSHEES making the medal accessible on Bungie Day, or the day whenever they officially hand over Halo to 343i?

I do not have an image capture device in which to obtain a pic of the text, though I can tell you where it is (or where I believe it is). I am pretty sure it was on Exodus, after you meet up with the Bull Frogs, jet across the gap, kill everyone on the main landing, up the stairs and it is up on the support beams and cat-walks above the Brutes. If that one wasnt it, then it was maybe the one you find when you return to Sword Base after you kill that General elite and all the stealthing Spec Ops elites.

This is what im talking about if we can decipher this data pad it will put the BOB hunt, one step in the right direction.

Ok guys, let's get desperate, and start another theory. Read "Frog blast the vent core!" chapter. As sure all of you know, on Exodus we're meeting Bullfrog squad. What do you think about that, can it be connected ?

That's assuming the BoBs themselves are coded into the map itself.
Maybe they might update the game, recoding those 2 levels, witch would require an update but not as massive on adding new armor, might be possible.


But then again, what often looks like a simple answer, isn't.
