I usually test theories and look for/kill bobs in campaign, but today around 2pm EST I will be testing ideas on Unearthed. If anyone wants to join, let me know.

What kind of ideas?


I'm just going to quote an earlier post of mine. Obviously I won't be doing all that today, but definitely some looking around/testing.

*Here are recent theories I came up with after speculating that we are still missing something in the defiant map pack...

1) Perhaps there is a way to spawn a BOB in firefight?
-The most obvious map to choose would be unearthed as it is in the defiant mp.
-Perhaps play with a team of four while having 2 on the covenant team and 2 as Spartans. Elites might as well change their models to rangers.
-Maybe play solo as a ranger elite...look for secrets?

2) Maybe it has something to do with the Endure vidmaster? (Which was referenced in a weekly challenge recently)
*Examples of things to try:
-Play with a team of four on unearthed on legendary or heroic and get passed set 4?
-Put all skulls on while on legendary with a team of four. Make waves unlimited and spawn from ground. Make all waves be 'ranger' elites. You will obviously need to have upgrades such as invulnerability on to survive for very long, but play through that for a while looking for a BOB or a secret? Perhaps complete 77 waves? Or 7 sets?

3) If there is anything to be found, I doubt it's as easy as making yourself invincible and killing elites.
*If someone wants to test this Unearthed theory; for starters, I recommend settings be set something like:

~ 4-player custom firefight game on Unearthed.
~ All waves of Ranger Elites
~ Unlimited waves
~ Heroic or Legendary
~ Skull(s)?
~ Survive as long as possible
~ Check theater mode

These theories are quite unorthodox, but hey at this point who cares?
I know there are more theories, I'm just too tired to think right now. Feel free to add, confirm, or deny.

Maybe the BOB would spawn where the focus rifle jackals would for point 3

Driven by success.
Follow me if you wish:@JamilDeanTriaa

I know this is nothing to do with BOBs, but, maybe there is a hidden skull on the Defiant Map Pack (Like the Mythic Maps in Halo 3). I highly doubt it though.

alright guys. time for a crazy theory. I was just thinking about it awhile ago and figured "this most likely isnt it, but if it was i think it would be kinda funny." What if you have to get killed by every BOB? (1 per level) Seems kinda silly and stupid, and I don't honestly think it is right, but hey may as well throw it out there.

Good idea, but I doubt it. That suggestion made my day.

Some BOBs don't attack, so... no.

Incorrect. The majority of the Bobs run away when shot. Only a couple stay to kill.

I don't think Bungie have ever rewarded us for being terrible at the game.

Actually they did.... they implemented the Cr system...

so even if you go -20...... you still "win" xD

If anyone wants to try the exodus easter egg and see if there is a bob there let me know.

And you wonder why people call you a troll XD nah just kidding, I could rant all day about the cR system.

I suppose being killed by a selection of creatures that try to avoid combat would be some kind of achievement.

lol, if that's the case, I'd like to see someone find a way to be killed by an Engineer in Reach.

  • 05.04.2011 12:41 PM PDT

Life is like a clogged toilet. It's full of crap until you do something about it.

I don't speak Karate!

Maybe the BOB on New Alexandria requires a certain objective, or a certain order?

  • 05.04.2011 2:25 PM PDT

Maybe we need to kill the BOBs in a specific order. The IWHBYD skull in Halo 3 required the pattern 4 6 5 4 5 3 4. Has anyone tried this yet?

Then what is this theory and search all for?

I think the screenshot alone is enough proof for most, but unfortunatly, this is not the case for people like you.


-Facepalm-

A screenshot alone doesn't proove jack in a video game.
Especially when you have to consider the SS could of been taken from the Reach dev kit.

A dev kit can often contain cut-out contents.

I would gladly talk about it but at this point and time, each side of the debate has said what it had to and still, nobody can say with 100% certainty "It's there to be found" or "It's not there"

If you still didn't understand that, then well, i won't bother with you lol.

AKA: the debate is at a standstill

The debate of course is at a standstill because it has yet to be proven otherwise. If we don't spend out time searching for it and making up theories of its existence in the game, we'll never find it and nobody will get anywhere, pro or con.

Also, it is highly doubtful that Bungie would put screenshots in their new DLCs showcasing dev-kit armors. If they realized that the armor was unobtainable in the commercial game, there would be no use in advertising it in their products. I mean seriously, Bungie false advertising much? They haven't done such a thing before and I highly doubt they have done it now. I frankly believe that the screenshot is a hint from Bungie that there are still easter eggs and other unlocks to be found. It's not even been a year since Reach has been out, and if I recall, Bungie has stated that some things in the game won't be discovered by players until years after launch.

1- Bungie had nothing to do with the latest map-pack other than a supervising job over 343i

2- Would you believe Bungie/343i to give us their blue flame effect if they used it *unless they say do this to get blue flames or special bungie day events like last year*


I'm basicly saying to not believe everything you see.

i think someone should try that on legendary or heroic playing it straight through according to the level number. then maybe checking NA or Exodus for a BOB to appear

I spent roughly two hours in Exodus the other night with my friends, and most of that time was spent in the area where the door disappears.
There is nothing out there, at all. We've checked. Nothing.

Also, we figured out why the door despawns. All the items in that area despawn. There are three other doors just like that one, but they're up against walls. They also despawn.
