Subject: The "BOB" Helmet Theories Thread (Seek and Destroy the BOBs)

Easy difficulty? Actually that could be right. Maybe they mean "you" the player are causing total carnage.

I am searching for new easter eggs or bobs or switches on NA, i have entered tons of "locked" rooms, made several glitches, traveled through the mountains with the phantom, and will continue until i find something else. Kira is right, the BOB helmet is not on the disc, and nothing proves that earning a medal will unlock new armor.

Maybe, there will be a global patch that can add some new armor, but, if you were to earn bob medals on all levels, you would not unlock the helmet, because that patch has not been released and i dont think it will be released once one person gets all the medals. (if only you were to get the update with the BOB helmet no one else could see it because they dont have the "update") i totally agree with Kira about the armor not being in the disc, but i will seek and destroy the bob on NA and Exodus to get the medal.

On a side note, has anyone experienced the glitch on NA when playing on coop, you get on the passenger seat of the falcon, and if your altitude drops below -10 your ship will start generating some explosions but with no damage, also, you can get past the floor death barrier with a phantom, press and hold crouch and the left trigger at the same time, also, someone mentioned a secret room with club herrera doors, you do not die if you enter that building with a phantom(its the only one that doesnt kill you), enabling you to explore that room(there is nothing inside, and the collision is weird) there are also some invisible corridors in that buidling(not related to BOBs, but maybe we can explore more with this glitches) on the hospital there are some rooms to which you can have access using the elite rangers, and, in the circular room with the stairs there is a section on the ceiling that you can travel to with a banshee or a jetpack. another place you can search for bobs on NA is where the Club Herrera switch #1 is, there are some sort of waterfalls there, those do not have collision and you can fly through them

u got a problem with our wild unfounded guesses? I don't understand what the big deal is with our thesis's. You say stuff about how there is no evidence behind his thesis and say in essence we are stupid for doing what we do. (Maybe not right on point, but you think of the entire thing as stupid if not us for our BOB hunt) Why does one need evidence for a thesis. A thesis is like a hypothesis which is more to what this should be called. And guess what? A hypothesis has no evidence because if it did it would be more along the lines as fact instead of opinion or guessing.

Kira, I have no problems with you. Sometimes you seem to kind of help, but others not so much. Also, The Game, arguing isn't going to help, nor is saying something like "Im not going to read your posts anymore." Honestly just ignore him all together if you find him that annoying. Right now Im turning my attention to Stallion.

You are doing nothing to help this thread let alone adding anything to it. At least Kiras posts are thought out. You are doing nothing but trolling with your quoted post. If you arent going to add anything to the discussion (whether good or bad) then please kindly just shut up and sit there.

Bump, Also i wanna hunt these "BoBs" too... Plz send a F/R to "A Talented Dude"!

  • 05.03.2011 6:51 AM PDT

i have a very farfected theory.

what if... there was a switch on unearthed since its a firefight map. (firefight maps are built on the same system as campaign maps) and the easter egg that angel mentioned was a switch. and we need to press it to unlock the last two bob medals?

Hmmm would that work? Also has anyone decoded the disk to check if they hid the "Helmet" on the disk and they could actually have it hidden in the game itself like how recon was..

But this time they hid the armor like in different files and a little update will connect them all together.

Or the BoBs are just really douches... and deserved to be killed...

"Also on the sniper mission there are banshees constantly flying over head in the last section. If you kill all the enemies and back track to the ledge right before the spot where the data pad is at on legendary, there will be a banshee that swings "way" off course. I haven't been able to destroy it(I got it to catch on fire) but it is constantly boosting.

EDIT: the banshee shows up every three to four minutes I think"

Was hoping for feedback.

Video games stopped even being remotely about skill after the SNES. Recharging health, checkpoints, unlimited lives.

I'll take you back to Battletoads and TMNT and you'll beg to return to the cushy cake walk that is modern gaming. Actually, let's not call it modern gaming, let's call it interactive cut-scenes that occasionally require you to shoot at enemies to provide the illusion that you are using skill to get further in the game.

That will be the next thing I check out. When you shot at the banshee, did you use the sniper rifle? If so, how many shots did it take? I want to see if Bansee BoB's can take more damage than regular banshee's. That could make it easier to spot them without relying on the randomly picked challenges.

Oh, and false alarm on the banshee I saw on ToTS. When I reveiwed the film in theater, it turns out when the banshee spawns, it fires off a shot before it boosts into view.

has anyone ever thought that the mystery helmet is a 343i/Bungie employee only helmet? Like recon was in Halo 3? I certainly hope not seeing how there is over 1400 responses and one of them must have a brain besides myself

Maybe there are banshee bobs on all the missions which also need to be killed?

That's what I'm wondering, that or at least more than the two confirmed. After all, a banshee would blend in a lot better than a gold colored ranger elite and with no medal rewarded, and the only surefire way to confirm if a banshee's a BoB being through a challenge, they could be easily overlooked.

I could be wrong, but it would be worthwhile for everyone here BoB hunting to keep an eye out for any banshees acting peculiar, and to report them here.

Okay well can the Bobs use AA? Like a Camo BoB? That would be perfect still a BoB with Camo on so you would'nt be able to find him.

I'm thinking, is there any popular website out there like HaloCharts which can track Seek and Destroy medals earned by players on individual campaign missions? Then we could tell if anyone had been rewarded one somehow on Exodus or New Alexandria. Let's face it, of all the people who play Reach, not all of them are going to visit this thread/these forums if they did manage to kill a BoB on these missions (or perhaps they didn't even realize they had killed one).


You can check it on B.net, go into medals, then select campaign then at the top there is a drop down, that says filter by map, and select the mission you want to see your medals for.

Yes, in the picture from IGN you can see an chest piece on the Spartan, look at the black collar he has.

Guys send me a friend request so i can go bob hunting with some of you guys!

  • 05.03.2011 9:44 AM PDT

Siamo ciò che osiamo

well, i came the other similiar topic, and i have read every single post.
i agree with you, sirs and sirens, but isn't all this too much for being a coincidence? the bobs have the same name of those of Marathon, and the new helmet looks like one of them? i think it's nothing but a tricky they played to us: while we are looking around for the bobs, we are "wasting" time, we don't think to other possibilities for getting this helmet; we enjoy killing bobs, and bungie/343 can concentrate on other things, since we are too busy in hunting bobs...
just a thougt, and with this i don't mean to offend anybody, but i think we should try something different too

/sorry for my killer-english, if there is any mistake i apologize for it/

Someone go through all of NA's possible campaign paths and objective orders and watch the hospital on the way out. I heard of one being there.

Yeah, I used the sniper. you have to save a few rounds. I looks like it will take five shots. You have to start shooting it as soon as it diverts its path.
