I may have found something of interest.
While hunting for BOBs on Tip of the Spear, I decided to let my character sit idle for a while, so I could observe the BOB in theater mode. (The BOB in question here is the first BOB on TotS, the one who spawns on the cliff)
Here's what I found:
-At first, he just stands in place after he spawns, staring at the battlefield. He exhibits no motion at all.
-After a few minutes, the game automatically updates the mission objectives, instructing you to destroy the AA gun. About a minute after this happens, the BOB will suddenly turn and stare up into the sky, at the massive air battle.
Could this be some sort of clue, or am I reading into this too far? Have other people studied the behavior of "un-startled" BOBs? I have a feeling this might take us somewhere.
I made a 30 second clip showing this BOB's behavior. It's unrendered, though, but it can be found in my Fileshare. Linky
I was playing on Solo Normal with Catch, Cloud, Famine, Thunderstorm, Cowbell, GBP, and IWHBYD on.
I posted this kind of late, and it was generally ignored. I'm just going to post it one more time during busy forum hours to see if this is that big of a discovery or not.
Interesting find, I have seen a video of a guy examining what the BOB is doing on winter contingency in theater. He spawns looking at a little transmitter box on the wall, then at a certain point, turns around and starts running which is when most people see him while driving the truck.
