on unearthed during the last wave four plasma repeaters show up out of nowhere. unlocking the helmet could have something to do with them.


Is there a video of this? Where do they spawn at exactly?


It's a spawn glitch that occurs in score attack during the final wave.
Since the last wave is a phantom drop, the game seems to be trying to spawn them on the ground and only the weapons appear.
Or so it's what most people noticed.

This "glitch" is not specific to any map.

Here's a youtube vid

Has anyone tried purchasing the game Marathon from the arcade? Perhaps you do 100% completion and it correlates with Reach?

Perhaps we have to use Halo Waypoint with all acheivements completed. Halo 123, odst , reach and wars.

Maybe...

Well. . .

Have you tried doing Exodus and NA on Mythic, and then searching?

Have you tried grabbing a falling data pad from the BOB banshee in NA? That is my only guess. The banshee you blow up must have a data pad with it. Question is, how do you get it?


yeah, thats a good idea ... but this is hard ...

  • 05.24.2011 10:55 AM PDT

no i have all archivements .. in h123 halo wars odst reach ... its wrong .. but maybe when come h1 remake ...

What about killing all BOBs from all three spawn locations in each level. I realize that the BOB spawns only once per level, and therefore this feat would take at least three play-throughs to accomplish. This could also correlate to beating the campaign on normal, heroic, and legendary...

Just poiting out, again, that some medals are "broken".

It must have a datapad in it? Says who exactly? I've examined it's explosion very closely, nothing that ain't standard banshee rubble comes out.

Another question: WHO WAS IT WHO WAS WEARING THE HELMET?


Misc Spartan no. 3001

One thing that we have to remember, is that there hasn't been any Vidmaster achievements in this game yet as opposed to ODST and 3. It wouldn't be out of the question for Bungie to update us with a new set of them in the future and make a new armor piece the prize for completing them much like they did with Recon. After all, there weren't ANY achievements based on the data pads nor the BoBs, which to me sounds VERY unusual for Bungie.

i am looking for one on exodus that walks

  • 05.24.2011 5:55 PM PDT

What if u get 7 of each legendary medal?

  • 05.24.2011 7:38 PM PDT

Well guys, I almost busted/proved my theory of a complete campaign runthrough nonstop with scoring off and killing a B.o.B.
on each level, but as usual, failed to kill the one on lone wolf.

may attempt again at a later date.

Update
The exodus bob is confirmed to be on top of the building with the green emblem I don't know what time or difficulty but he's there.

  • user homepage:

The BoBs on Exodus and N:A are most likely invis.(No Proof)
That would mean that the elites would not be out of place in those missions.
Unless you searched for them.
Also what did that XBL Update do?
I noticed it took away my Map Packs.

Also this is Bungies last Halo game...wouldn't they wanna go out with a bang that remember them for years to come?
The "BoB" helmet could be unlocked after playing or doing certain things in their other games(No Proof)...

If you wanna go BoB hunting later just send a F/R to "A Talented Dude".

Heres a link to a "BoB" that somene most likely found...

Here!

Me and my friend found every data pad, but don't know what to do next. He took notes over them, I will try to get him to post them by tomorrow or so.

  • 05.25.2011 2:44 PM PDT

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

Proof? Or troll?

There is nothing to do next, they tell a story, that's it. Nobodies ever bought a novel, finished reading it and gone "What's this for?"

  • 05.26.2011 8:34 AM PDT

Boo! Did I scared u?

Whoever said that BOBs had to be elites? Maybe killing a 'special' brute will get you a "BOB kill".
Just a thought.

Ok, I've searched the web, several forums, including this one, youtube, and have yet to find a comprehensive list of all Bob spawn locations (separating alternate spawns from multiple Bobs per mission). I'm aware of the video series in the OP, and while that is very good and shows many of the spawns, I've personally seen several not featured in the videos, and I'm not a real Bob hunter. It just seems like a basic first step would be to compile a comprehensive list of all the Bob spawns (and better yet, what factors change their spawn locations, like difficulty, etc.). With all this interested I'm surprised no one has done it.

The BoBs medal actually have a elite on it.
So i don't believes bobs could be brutes...
But in that case they could be like a human civ or anything like a hidden grunt or something...

  • 05.27.2011 9:12 AM PDT

there's a list on halopedia (just search BOB)

it's pretty comprehensive.

you're right, its pretty comprehensive, and the best I've found. Still not complete though since I've definitely encountered a Bob on Winter Contingency right before you get into the vehicle for the first time, on the right side near the cliff (legendary, also killed a bunch of Moa prior to get the 'Keep it Clean' achievement).

  • 05.27.2011 9:28 AM PDT

Not to mention shall I daresay... the FIRST PAGE of THIS thread? People get so up and at 'em that they forget the OP.

-Up and at 'em
-Up and at 'dem
-Up and at them!
