Sorry, but things aren't looking good for this theory.

**Some things to consider:
-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?)


While a 343i employee was never confirmed as actually wearing the armor, bs angel did comment on the armor in this thread.

Only thing i can think of is killing BOBs in a certain order. Obviously not from first level --> last level cause it's too obvious.

I like the idea of mass sending a letter to a selected Bungie Employee asking for some kind of hint or answers so this isn't wasted time, as much as I enjoy hunting for BOBs.

If we send 300+ then we might get some answers.

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.


Thanks a lot, I'm updating it now.


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.


can someone confirm this? can you finish the whole level?

  • 05.02.2011 5:15 PM PDT

Hm, maybe you can finish it then, I'm going to try again tonight.

he said mass send? hmmm. Well I am unsure of mass sending. I mean I can understand that then maybe said employee could see our dedication and stuff, but at the same time they could also just see it as annoying and be like, "Leave me alone! :("

I already pm' ed bs angel a while ago. She never replied. Maybe if we all msg her, we'll at least know if it's community obtainable.

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).
not true i found another way that u can do easily with sprint

I've also completed the tribute room and pelican easter eggs solo; it's possible.

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.



Too vague as a question.

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

Well I didn't want to ask specifically for the helmet. I just want to confirm if there is a big secret to be discovered. I think we have a better chance of getting a reply with this question.

Theres an easier way if you press the banshee switch it allows you to get out of bounds without the countdown even underground so you can just walk to it without going to far or you will die

Try it

We definitely shouldn't send a mass mail. That would make them unhappy. I just think I should send the message I wrote on behalf of all of us. See how that goes and then we can go from there. What do you guys think, should I send it?

Make it so number one.

  • 05.02.2011 5:58 PM PDT

agreed. I think that if this many ppl pm one person they would get a little upset. now if we do edit the letter to ask if there is a bob helmat to be found not how to get it or what we have to do or nething just is it there? I think that if one person sends it to someone they will click the thread and see just how many ppl are interested in this helm.

Btw i have halseys journal ill check it out in depth over the next few days and ill take down notes if i find anything important. as for the whole bickering with ppl about the thread if they want to complain let them we have more important things to do besides argue amounst (cant spell) ourselves. As for the data pads i believe they hold the key for now i will keep looking at them every night til i find something useful. so far im just slowling tearing apart each one, one at a time. If i find any helpful info in them I will be sure to post them right away.

Let us make a pact.

We will not let anything get in our way. We will crack this mystery wide open. We the Bob hunters will in fact find out if there is a bob helm. If there is then we will not rub it in the face of the community but we will wear our helms with pride. And of course we WILL KILL EVERY BOB AND FOLLOW IN THE FOOTPRINTS OF THE VIDMASTERS!

If you have read the Flood.

I think the BOBs are Osoona. Special Ops Sangheli.

As I lay in bed, staring at the stars I thought: "Where the hell is the ceiling"

In concern of the switches theory:

The vidmaster run in M:D had us punch all switches. And if you look at the Maraton: Durandal achievement guide, it's stated pretty clearly that not all switches need to be activated, just punched.

Maybe just meleeing the switches would have an effect? But I'm not quite sure how the game would keep track of that.

Everything should be considered.

Apologies for the double post, but in reference to the above letter: Send it. You'd never know what the outcome might be. Maybe it might even inspire an employee to drop some vague hint at us.

im sure just how they can keep track of number of kills they could set up a boundary on each switch to where if u melee it, it registers it as a secret value we cant see and tracks it. assuming that meleeing switches is actually needed that is.

Oh of course, I'm just adding speculation to the Marathon Vidmaster theory.
