Controller is odd but not reach specific... few games won't make it vibrate *bow chika bow wow* with full batteries.


Well, this is the first time it has ever happened to me, and it's only Lone Wolf related, and only just recently. It's rather puzzling.

As for Lone wolf bob well lol...

i played about 5 minutes on easy and got him to appear his ugly kisser.
Had him appear during the elite generals.


Lol, you lucky dog! I've seen videos where that's happened but I guess he's just shy around me. That or he saw what I did to all of those Generals and decided to lay low.



Could be poor coding in the map and signals don't get sent correctly...
Wouldn't be the first thing IMO to be failed on that level.


As for the BoB he spawned in an area. hmm..... north-west of your starting tower. under a bridge or something lol.... around that area.

Not sure if this has been posted, way to many pages to read through, but if the silver bobs act as silver skulls and the gold bobs act as the gold skulls could the bobshees be silver skull based like the white bobs on sword base, thats if the other silver bobs dont award u the metal of course, im not sure if they do or not but im sure someone will fill me in on that, also is there any other white bobs on any other levels? and has anyone actually killed a bob on each level on legendary plus gotten all data pads plus beaten the entire game on LASO? perhaps this has to be done on a single run through? just a theory anyways, not sure if anyone has said it, couldnt be bothered reading through 50 odd pages. By the way excuse my horrible dyslexic spelling and grammar.
Me and my friend found a charlie on the package but he disappeared before we could kill him. it was right at the end when we rushed through to get the data pad so maybe they are indeed like silver skulls as there are gold elites(bob) and silver elites(charlie)

GUYS BIG UPDATE!

I have a friend named HaloShredMaster who claims he was searching the BOB Reach Pictures and found a BOB picture on Exodus and downloaded it to his file share.

Click here

Now we have to heavily search the Reach file database to find the original screenshot and view the games medals to see if its true.


That's a Forge Game. Hit view game, there won't be one because it's Forge.

I think it might be Multiplayer, the game can not be found, and I think that's the Boardwalk map, clever, but it's a trick.

Very true, I looked at it quickly and wasn't paying attention.

Sorry for any hype. :p

Yeah it pisses me off, I thought one was finally found.

****Regarding the "Marathon Challenge" and BOB hunt****
**Please Read ALL if interested in, new, or have questions about the BOB Hunt**

@The Game1415 - Great OP and keep up the hard work.

MARATHON VIDMASTER RULES:

1) Punch all switches
-All switches on NA and The Package (I heard you can finish the level after the tribute room, please confirm?)
-Switches: NA: Club, Pelican, Phantom
Package: 4 Banshees, Tribute Room
-Cannot finish level with "Reach Racer" switch.

*Would if the data pads are switches? TO ALL PEOPLE WHO DID RESEARCH RECENTLY ON DATA PADS; MY THEORY:
*I did research on them way back on page 15 or something. I tried to match words and numbers with letters and figure out a code or pattern for 2 to 3 hours but got nothing. I did find that DATA PAD 7 and 16 (NA Data Pads) contain a secret message saying "HALO REACH PLANET" which oddly enough is a website and Bungie's favorite number(7)...Anyway, My theory is you must play through the game on Heroic getting data pads 1-9 in order. Then, play through the game on legendary getting pads 10-19 in order. Completing this may not do anything, but maybe it is necessary is the pads are switches?

2) Never shoot where you can use grenades
-This could mean no shooting ever or kill all BOBs/BOBshees with only grenades.

*Is it possible to beat LNoS w/o shooting?
*There obviously are points where you have to kill enemies to spawn checkpoints to go further in the level. With 4 players, no shooting seems doable when you can beat down, nade, splatter and "despawn" enemies.

3) Admit the existence of no level except total carnage
-This is obviously play on Legendary, but could also be a number of things...

*It has been mentioned Total Carnage could refer to the Lone Wolf mission. I didn't like this idea at first, but it could be true; Admit existence of No LEVEL (Level=Lone Wolf) except Total CARNAGE (CARNAGE=Lone Wolf).
*Total Carnage could = LASO (IMO, I doubt this, because it would be seemingly impossible)
*Total Carnage could = Legendary/Iron (Like Halo 3)
*Total Carnage could = Legendary/Mythic (I don't like this idea much because why not add Thunderstorm to that?)
*Total Carnage could = Legendary/certain number of skulls activated, such as a combination of 7 skulls.
*MY RECENT THEORIES:
*Total Carnage could = Legendary/Mythic/Thunderstorm/Tough Luck/Tilt (Like the L.D. daily challenges)
*Total Carnage could = Legendary/L.D./Iron
*Total Carnage could = Legendary/L.D./IWBYD/Cowbell/Grunt Birtday (7 skulls)
*Total Carnage could = Legendary/Iron/All Silver Skulls (If we aren't shooting we don't need a cross-hair so Blind seems reasonable)

4) Never use Caps Lock as my 'run' key
-This definitely means No Sprint, but...

*Some people mentioned no AA can be used at all. (I liked this but i think it was confirmed jet pack must be used on Exodus?)
*Is it reasonable to attribute a computer key (Caps Lock) to the sprint button in Reach?

5) Never, ever leave a single BOB alive
-This speaks for itself, but...

*Kill all known BOBs and BOBshees (Probably True)
*Some theories suggest getting at least one seek and destroy medal per level, but we have to kill them all right?
*Perhaps never let a BOB get away?
*Maybe something can be done to spawn the BOBs in the BOBshee?
*BOBs could be related to Gold and Silver skulls (Not likely)

***BOB & BOBSHEE KEY POINTS: (Good for new people)

-Exodus and New Alexandria are the only missions without confirmed elite ground level BOBs.
-There is at least 3 confirmed BOBshees on Exodus (All fairly easy to destroy in co-op)
-There are confirmed BOBshees on New Alexandria (Not sure how many?)
-BOBshees cannot be hijacked in any way
-BOBshees always appear alone and are always boosting
-BOBshees always spawn in the same location after crossing a certain point or checkpoint in the level.
-BOBshees don't give you a seek and destroy medal, but they have a description different from a normal Banshee making them even more significant.
-Seek and destroy medals given for killing a BOB can only be seen on your carnage report on Bungie.net
-BOBs are usually gold rangers but can be white, zealot, etc. (As seen on Sword Base)
-Most BOBs spawn after killing a certain amount of enemies (Not particularly true the for Lone Wolf BOB)
-BOBs will show up more often on Heroic or Legendary (Confirm?)

6) Start at level 7 of 88 (This probably isn't very important)
-Start at Exodus or New Alexandria (Depending if Noble Actual counts as a level; most likely it does, making NA the mission with highest focus).

**New Alexandria contains: 3 known Easter eggs, BOBshees, the only 2 data pads with a blatant secret message (data pads 7 and 16) and happens to be level 7...
_____________________________________________________________ _

**Some things to consider:

-Bungie may be waiting until 7/7/11 to 'flip the switch' allowing us to complete a vidmaster challenge.
-A 343i employee has been confirmed wearing the armor and when asked she said she couldn't give away the secret. (Can someone confirm this and/or provide the GT?)
-Bungie's flip switch may allow us to receive a seek and destroy medal on Exodus and NA
-All major BOB hunts should be done with a team of four
-With all the hints and recent posts about Bungie referring to BOBs, it can't be denied that there IS something to be found/unlocked
-People researching the data pads, keep up the good work
***We should not forget the confirmation by 343i that there is a secret(s) in the Defiant map pack which is when the helmet was first seen/advertised along with its release.
*Although, I have no theories on how BOBs/Defiant/BOB Helmet could all be related...

LEGEND
* = Theory, idea, problem, or contradiction
- = Fact or most likely true

***REGARDING BOB HUNT TEAM(S)***

PM Duo Oratar or I and add either of us if you want to be added to the hunt and/or put on another team of four. This hunt will be going on with a team of 4 or 2 teams of four in one party while going through campaign similar to the rules of the 'Marathon' challenge. We will need dedicated and experienced players who don't think legendary is "too hard" and who can play 2-4 hours at a time.
GT: WPooney, Duo Oratar





Sorry for the huge quote. This is a very good post and sums up the possible Vidmaster well.

Also, if you hit the Banshee switches on The Package you can't advance in the level, I tried last night.

  • 05.02.2011 3:02 PM PDT

I'm guessing then that we should take the "Punch all switches" thing and throw it out the window right about now, seen as we are now down to two out of all of the switches (Pelican Egg and Tribute room, but tribute room cannot be done if you have Iron on, because someone has to die).

Duo, I found a way to hit the Tribute Room switch without dying. I can get a video if you want later.

Also don't forget the Club Sierra Egg and the Siege of Madrigal Easter Eggs on New Alexandria.

I suppose that is true, I almost did it once, I was a millimeter away from safety when I died. Either way we've discounted so many switches we aren't able to stick anywhere near to the rule.

false. it is possible to advance on the level, but you have to fly through the level as if you hadn't released the barriers.

Why not just apply the "Gotta Punch 'em All" part solely to the mission-specific switches? I mean, if you're going to have to press the switches to advance in each level, you might as well give 'em a little love tap when you activate them.

How many of you have read Dr. Halsey's journal? you know, the one that came with the limited and legendary editions of Reach?

Just might be some clues in there... ;)

[Edited on 05.02.2011 4:03 PM PDT]

  • 05.02.2011 4:03 PM PDT

I just looked in a dictionary abd punch can also mean to push or to press down on something

Here is a letter I have drafted to ask for the conformation of a secret.

If we can collectively agree upon it I will send it to Urk or whoever we deem should receive this message.

Dear Urk,

For the past two weeks a small but extremely proud group of the Bungie community has embarked upon a heroic and noble quest.

Based upon what we believe as clues and hints left by the great and benevolent Bungie we have begun searching for the secrets that we believe have been left for us to find. The most prominent of these secrets is the so called B.o.B. Helmet. Much debate has spawned from its possible existence. As a result we have tested and debunked numerous theories and ideas regarding the infamous B.o.B. New ideas and harsh debate over the topic are raging at this very moment.

However, amongst our small family several have questioned the existence of such a secret. That is what spawned the birth of this message. We would like to ask you if a secret remains to be found in Halo: Reach. We do not wish to know its location or any details pertaining to it. We just believe it would be fair to know if something indeed exists. We do not wish to hear our tireless dedication has been in vain but we have concluded that we need to know if we are searching for something that does not exist.

If you would like to follow up upon our progress here is a link to the thread. B.o.B. Hunt (It is quite long, sorry)

We greatly appreciate your time.

May the best of luck be upon yourself and the wonderful Bungie Company.

-The B.o.B. Hunters

Is there 2 bobs on the oni mission. I mean I killed one in the hallway on the sword base. Well the first time I didnt I jusr stood there and he killed me. And when I came back it was a different elite. It wasnt a bob. And I think there is also one before you go into the sword base. He runs to the left before you go kill the hunters. This whole thing is driving me crazy lol.

Too vague as a question.

If you want to ask someone if the helmet exists to be found, ask him that question directly.
