Friends before pixels.

I'm scraping the bowl here of Google's abilities to find stuff on all the Marathon games.

Will check back when either I am completely done, or have found something.

everyone read data pad 13's beginning, As must be expected with any calculations, a number of non-trivial sacrifices will be needed in order to furnish the Assembly with the time required to determine the correct pattern and then act upon it. Furthermore, once a site has been designated, its status must be obscured such that no individual, outside of this body, is fully aware that is has been designated.

This might be a reference that the community needs to kill so many BOB's in order for the two BOBSHEE's to count for medals.


Good thinking, but anyway, I don't think it's true. It would be a little stupid. Most of community, that is intrested in BOBs, know locations of Banshee BOBs. So why would we have to wait to unlock reward, if we know the way to do this already.

Hey do you want an awesome Halo Reach map?

Its your lucky day I have a BTB map just for you whenever you want it, just click this link. and you will be taken to my file share where you can download my map to your Xbox. :)

the above words from the data pads have been re-arranged by me into a somewhat coherent sentence. here is my translation if it were completely readable.

Why talk? Time has always been going on a stable path, but think; to find the door, going for all the numbers is sometimes the answer for symbols already tried.

Your thoughts on this.....as i have not the slightest idea.

When reading the data pads there is constently the word creators or creator. Also in data pad 13 it says some percentage of total population of chosen site may be relocated to designated green zones one Solar year prior to activation to lessen overall impact on genetic sustainability of species.
Which leaves me to believe whoever is leaving the data pads is either an AI or its something like forrunner artifacts such as guilty spark or the sentinals who also called the spartan 111's creators in the book Ghosts of Onyx.

"going for the numbers is sometimes the answer for symbols already tried", isnt the symbol for Bungie the number 7? making 7 both a number and a symbol.

....Possibly it is saying that we are going in the wrong direction.

Maybe we aren't supposed to be killing each and every BoB on every level, but killing them systematically and thoroughly on every level.

....God help us if it means we have to kill 77 BoB's on each level.

im thinking that the data pads hold a secret to unlocking the bob helm. this is why im ready up on it. since killing bobs doesnt seem to do nething just yet but im very much so hoping that it does. i just descided to take the bob helm from a different angle and im hoping more ppl help with our problem of finding this strange helm.

Sadly, I have not played and of the Marathon games, are there any numbers that are important in that game? it might be a clue since bungie did give a special gamer tag thing (the symbol next to your name wile playing on live) if you had the game marathon

Would you be interested in guides for the data pads and bobs?
It might help this along quite well
http://hellhoundslair.forumotion.co.uk/forum
Be warned you'll have to sign up before the guides are availble.

Forgot to mention : We've only started putting up guides recently but im trying to get at least 1 per 3 days up, and we generally get em up faster.

hmmm sounds interesting they could have hidden the secret somewhat subliminally in the datapad.

i cant make heads or tails of what the true meaning of that sentence is but it does make me feel like the datapads might be guidence for players that want to find something

and someone mentioned a while back the skulls on the halo 3 map packs there may be something similar in defiant and noble we may not be looking hard enough or even in the right place for that matter

Good research on the Data Pads.

I can't help to think that we are missing something... It isn't as easy as killing BOBS, we have to do something else. Like killing them in some sort of order.

[Edited on 05.01.2011 8:06 PM PDT]

  • 05.01.2011 8:05 PM PDT

What really creeped me out was the data pad that said they can't hear me on the bent. Does that mean we missed a post from a while ago or something?

try the IWHBYD order first then try the numbers from the first data pad in terms of bob slaughter order

it would be a decent lil quest if you ask me

Going back to the New alexandri BOB (Falcon level)
What if the BOBS are not in the banshees but in or on a building somewhere? Bungie could've made the Banshee BOBS to throw us off or something.

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.

Guys, at this point I really think we should ask for comformation of a secret. If you all want I would be willing to write a letter on behalf of the B.o.B. Hunters asking Bungie if there is indeed a secret to be found. I won't ask for its location or any hints, just if it exists.

for some reason i want to say the data pads are our keys instead of the bobs or it could be a combo of both. im kinda tired so my thinking isnt super good right now but im gonna give the data pads a shot here. Mentioned in the pads are Halsey's id badge for oni(if you got her journal and key card her numbers on the keycard) it also mentions how the writer of the pads found a back door into the spook house. Oni personel are called spooks so im assuming this section ment Sword base seeing as how its the main base for Oni. Also mentioned in data pad 15 is a variable that the covies fear which im thinking is the flood. it also talks about the activation of something which im assuming is the Halo rings. Im still trying to descifer the rest of it. however tonight im going to bed. What id like is someone to take a look at the number 19 data pad it seems like they are trying to tell us something about sword base and the forerunner stuff under it. but im to tired to think tonight

Lets all band together to get this helm. Bungie's secrets can only be hidden for so long before we will break every code they have.

  • 05.01.2011 8:28 PM PDT

yes confermation would be very nice i mean look how many people are working on this if we all found out that there was no secret to be found and we were just wasting our time wed all be pretty upset. however i doubt they will let us know anything at all but its worth a shot my friend

Unless you have to go through one campaign playthrough get 1 bob on each mission and get all the data pads.
Which would imply Legendary Straight away for those data pads.

  • 05.01.2011 8:33 PM PDT

and of course always leave your ibwhyd skull on!! cause theres alot of hidden dialog in this game!! possibley hearing something during the datapads

Have you tried killing them all with grenades? The oath to vidmaster actually does say with grenades only or whatever, so I really think this should be something you try.
