I've been here a decent amount of time to know you're all crazy

We need some pics or video, this sounds interesting, especially the countdown part

I was looking on Unearthed and outside of the map, there is an area that says "Out of bounds . . ." instead of "OUT OF BOUNDS". Also, the "Out of bounds . . ." area does not have a "Return to Battlefield" countdown. Does this mean anything? I thought maybe a skull is hidden on the map. Also, there are signs with a picture of a construction worker that somewhat reminds me of the BOB helmet, and each one says GRD below them. But I found one that had only the hat of the construction worker. It was on the left side of a closed door. On the right side there is a UNSC symbol.


Hey! Remember that construction worker I talked about? Well, I just found it on Countdown . . .


where was the area on unearthed that said out of bounds



You can basically jump off of the cliff, and use jet pack to climb down the cliff wall. Before you reach the KILL boundary, you should be able to find the area. Make sure you are next to the wall and have infinite jet pack.

Probably stupid, but what about that thing in Winter Contingency. The one when you go in the building and it's on your radar, and you hear it. I think it's a Skirmish actually, but I never looked on theatre to even see if you could see what it was, or if it was just in the game for effects.


its a small skirmisher at first but it grows and you can actually kill it with your pistol before it gets away

Firefight is made to AFK in. That's Reach's "Investment" system

There is a very special marine different from all the others in Tip of the Spear...

to sum it up guys, hackers found the last skull on halo 3 when its predicted find date by us would be 2010, so hayabusa would be as new and popular as recon,
since halo 3 bungie must have learnt to hide this information better from 'hackers' anyway
if it wasnt for bungies last day this helmet would still be hidden from us, its most likely a purpose leak for us on their last day so we find this quicker than predicted

Now instead of exploring Countdown and DLC maps i think we should go with BOBS on New Alexandria and Exodus that give the medal, these have to be found if you ask me
basicly i agree with orignal poster completely and that al efforts should be towards the BOB theory

  • 07.10.2011 1:32 AM PDT

So I got inside the building using the theater camera glitch and this is what I saw. Sadly a whole lot of nothing. It seems the room is pretty much transparent from the inside. Maybe there is a way to get into it while playing firefight but this is the best I could do.

So has anyone been able to get a medal for killing a BOB on Exodus yet?

  • 07.10.2011 2:02 AM PDT

The helmet must have something to do with the BOB's indeed. Look what I found on another forum which says this came from a Weekly Update:

May somebody post a link to this Video by tender loins with the GRD helmet appearing???

  • 07.10.2011 2:09 AM PDT

Not sure if this has already been noted - but when you start LNoS - the Date is August 14 2552 (time: 12:48)
August (08) - Fourteen [14]

Seems to correspond with codes found?

GRD M[14]20(08)
GRD M0[14](08)

On long night of solace there are infinite enemies that drop. Maybe you have to fight them for a specified amount of time. Maybe that's where the twenty comes in from the code. If you came in at 12:48 maybe you need to make it to 20:00 hours for something to happen.

Q: What is the deal with the "BOB" or "GRD" helmet?

A:Certain Affinity, under the direction of 343 industries, created the Defiant map pack. When Microsoft released screenshots of the Defiant pack, people noticed a previously un-seen helmet on one of the Spartans.

We at Bungie do not know what 343 has in store with this helmet, and the internet is full of theories. Like you, we will just have to wait and see what, if any, plans they have for it.

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

Evil Otto is known to throw people off-track, but if you try messaging other Bungie Employee's there is a very, very slim chance that you will get a reply. But I strongly believe that Evil Otto is not throwing us off, since everyone is becoming paranoid. The whole community are searching for clues and coming up with theories on how to obtain the helmet.

We have to wait until 343 Industries take over on August 2nd, when the Title Update will take place.

Only time will tell...

Um...Sorry for being disrespectful if I am, but what does Evil Otto actually do? It says "employee," but lots of different people can be employee. The security guard is an employee as much as the lead designer is...

EDIT: Read his FAQ, he says he is an artist.

Point being, Bungie has no idea about this helmet ever since it came out & 343i have the answers.

Helmet wasn't shipped with the game nor any map pack afterwards.


You want to know if you're ever gona get it? Wait till August 2nd.
Until then, anything else points towards a waste of time.

I cant quite tell, but someone said during the last 3 seconds of "Bungie vs the world part 10", the 4th screen shows the GRD in the armory. From what i can see, it is a helmet, but i dont know what helmet.

GO check it out!

The helmet is on the left instead of the right, in the armory it's on the right.

There are two 'M's that appear to be scratched into the back of the rocket on countdown, they are there in campaign and multiplayer. the only reason i bring this up is because a lot of the codes that are being talked about have an 'M' at the beginning. there is a circle drawn on the floor right below where the M's are located on the rocket. meh? this might not mean anything, but i thought i would share.

in "the room" on countdown. it does nothing. its more likely left over from when they converted the campaign level in to the MM map.

  • 07.10.2011 9:49 AM PDT

Not trying to rain on your parade but I honestly think you guys are heading down the wrong direction. I got the early code for the Defiant map pack and the code was a 437 mb download. The new download is 697 (something like that). Unearthed has nearly tripled in size and everything else is the exact same. Maybe the title update is already in the defiant map pack and 343 just has to activate it in August.

It's 343's helmet it's not on countdown or lnos... It's in the defiant map pack code.
