I don't believe anyone above Noble isn't a booster.

This might've come up already (and if it has, it's probobly led to nothing) But is there some way Marathon's achievements can accumulate in Waypoint like Halo3/ODST can? Like getting such and such achievement in Marathon unlocks something?

Again, I don't know or actually think that would lead to anything, Just throwing the thought out there.

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

I don't speak Karate!

What actually happens if you complete the vidmaster oath in Marathon?

  • 05.05.2011 6:57 PM PDT

Is it possible it could be released to those who have successfully completed all Weekly LASO campaign challenges? And that's why the community hasn't been given access yet? 2 more missions to go and THEN Lone Wolf....which will probably be on the grounds of achieving a certain score-cap or killing a certain number of enemies before going out in a blaze of glory.

I can only imagine if that were to happen the ruckus those who haven't completed the LASO challenges would make lol.

You got internet fame and praise, and by that point were probably good enough to kick anyone to the curb in multiplayer.

i have theorys on the BoBs. I might be over analyizing but here it is anyways.

Earlier in the post in noticed the halo reach planet is what is spelled from the missing letters in the data pad. I realized it was a website. I searched it and open it. i noticed it was for easter eggs and data pads. So here are my theories:

1. Maybe haloreachplanet.net is owned by bungie, 343, or someone important in the game, will post on their where to get the BoB helmet.
2. Maybe a way to get the BoB helmet is to:
Beat co-p campaign on legendary, without rest, killing at least one or all BoBs in all levels, get every data pad, discovering every possible easter egg, not including the ones that don't allow completion of level, and surviving at set time on Lone Wolf.
3. Same as 2 but true LASO (with blind)
4. Bungie's favorite number is 7, maybe it had do with the BoBs, kill 7 BoBs, kill the 7th BoB that can appear in all campaign levels, kill every other 7th BoB, etc.
5. BoBs orginated from Marathon, maybe (this might sound silly but) Bungie released a hidden update in the arcade version of Marathon since the release of Reach. The easter egg will hints towards the BoB helmet.

I know they sound extremely unlikely but maybe they could mean something, or im just over anaylizing.


It's only the version of the datapads on HaloReachPlanet that says HaloReachPlanet, also, HaloReachPlanet doesn't appear to be owned by Bungie/343i, I just checked.

Register at your local Vault Tec office today! The world might not be there tomorrow...

After about forty-two tries on Legendary, I saw the BOB once.

I can tell you the ways you won't meet him.

1. Camping for ten minutes.
2. Fighting, but mostly camping.

...and no I did not kill him! I EMP'd his shields to reveal that it takes more than one EMP to drop them. Then I was promptly run-through/plasma scorched/concussion rifled and asploded via nearby barrels. Biggest sadface ever. It seems that at about 9:45 he actually appears, but you have to be actively killing Covies to get him to spawn. Otherwise, the generals will spawn without the BOB.

forgive me for being confuse but this website here:

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/BOB

has a load of screenshots of BOBs at the bottom, i always assumed the BOBs all looked like the ranger elites but with golden armour but according to that website they crop up in all different armours?

  • 05.06.2011 3:35 AM PDT

I heard this was Sparta but I am obviously mistaken...

Thats only for ONI: Sword Base

Anyway, has anyone tried following the BOBshee on New Alexandria around? Maybe it lands? Something? Also, (somewhat irrelevant) I remember playing Exodus one time and noticing and idiot banshee, at the time I wasn't as into BOB hunting as of late, and it kinda just committed suicide... I figured it would follow our Falcon but now that I think about it there's no real way to follow it... Brute BOBs anyone?

woah this thread should of diead weeks ago but since its still going id like to point out i have spent like 8 houjrs on ecodus and found nothing but a marine saying look out in a Deep voice

"Everyone, fire at Will!"
"Why? What did Will ever do to you?"

^2 posts above me
The thought of a brute BOB is interesting. Maybe we should keep our eyes out for a non-hostile brute with some kind of special armor?

  • 05.06.2011 10:22 AM PDT

Trick Jumping + Halo = Ninja Hops

Well there are a ton of out of map glitches and spots that a BOB could spawn so this is going to be forever.

It just spawns, loops through the map in an arc, then exists through the invisible wall.

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.

Anyone think we'll get more clues in today's weekly update?

Crap, and he's flying so low he's impossible to drop on a building. Even then there's no real pilot...

There's a video up on YouTube by OP showing 3 Brutes on Exodus behind a door that doesn't open until you actually encounter Brutes. They disappear after 7 seconds and have a short conversation in their native tongue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6yiWSn1oDg

Also, the random rooms with secret packages, and 117 in blood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBT3U3wb_rA&NR=1

EDIT: One other thing, OP's open hallway! Skip to the end of the video to watch. Require's sprint: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSBtgNVaXrg&feature=channe l_video_title

Waste of your time, it's already been done.

Really? I didn't see a guide ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET for killing the Lone Wolf BOB on Legendary. Care to share? Nah, doubt it. As you were my good sir, keep wasting everyone's time.
