i have went through the campaign, matchmaking, and firefight and scanned every barcode that i could find. this is not to say that i have seen them all. i have only scanned everyone of them that i could find. and no luck so far.

How do you know? 343I has stayed basically dark, and BS Angel was pointing to August 2nd [the day 343I takes over Reach from Bungie] for at list a trickle of info.

So far based on 343I's comments, I'm thinking that the IGN official screenshots were taken on a 343I developer version of the game and that the helmet hasn't even been added into the game yet. (It's not in any game files that data miners looked at.)

Well, I reckon with the title update, they will add vidmasters for Reach and CE Anniversary.

Getting them vidmasters will unlock the GDR helmet and maybe more.

Just my thoughts though.

Based off the assumption the helmet is currently in our system, witch it isn't.

That's an interesting thought, however, Vidmasters were Bungie's tradition for Marathon and other games. I think 343i will use Waypoint (since they created and manage it) to utilize the unlock system they already have in place for the CQB and MP helmets.

Well, with the Title Update perhaps it will be added, along with the requirements to unlock it. All 343i would have to do is somehow find a way to add new armor, and implement it with the update.

Yeah I have to say yes to the fact that 343 might have an updated version of reach and they already have the helmet. So we should wait til Aug. 2 until 343 takes over Reach. Then we might just see some results/ I predict they might even make vidmasters...

The ways to add new armor to Reach, a game not built to receive new armor after launch, have been discussed many many times before.
General consensus is, while it is "technically" possible to add new armor to the game, the means to get there are not worth it and too costly.

Boo! Did I scared u?

Here's an idea.
If you go in your career stats, under campaign, in "killed by" you may notice you have been killed by a skull.
1) Let a Bob kill you and see if this number goes up.
If not --> :/
2) If so kill a Bob and use his weapon to kill some covenant.
Do your kills with the skull go up?
Regardless of what the answer to "2" was now kill a Bob with a Bobs weapon.
3) If the answer to "2" was 'no' does this raise the number?

Just a thought, since no-one's discovered what the skull is.

There was a thread about those at some point but i have lost it.
Those "special" weapons in the list where usually stuff like the battle cruiser's guns, the corvette's plasma guns, stuff like that.

I don't think so... Even then my idea could apply to the double question mark.
The reason I doubt this is this game. I used the 'glitch' to use the pelicans gun and it was my ToD. However the icon is blank. IDK, could be something entirely different since the pelican in that level is actually part of the environment...

I just got an idea. I dont know if any one has mentioned it and i really dont feel like reading 50 pages of stuff so this is my idea. What if one of those GRD guys or the special marines are on Exodus and NA. maybe we have to kill them. It would be the best disguise for a BoB. I know this is probably not true but its worth a shot

I like this theory. We need to cover all aspects.

My next suggestion is rediculous but could be a possibility. Has anyone yet tried doing a "Vidmaster - Endure" style technique on Reach yet?

Think about it, alone or as a group complete Halo Reach on Legendary, all levels one after the next AND kill all BOBs on the way? Just an idea, crazy though!

  • 07.20.2011 11:19 AM PDT

Going back to the above post: What if the "skull" is the BOBs' guns? Most people just kill and leave, not even think about the gun.

I think someone suggested killing certain marines but the question is "which marines?". The person who suggested might not have done it,so go ahead and try. I am still for my idea of saving all the marines on NA that you cam in contact with.

i just stumbled acroos the forum. i was reading through the first page and i noticed a few things. NOTE: this is just my theroy. 1.BOBS have higher health correct so that means that mostlikly thay are a higher class, perhaps an elite born on a covenant ship is seen as a miricle and they are given a very high status and are trained from birth to figth for the great journey. 2. the disapear: only higly ranked elits such as spe-ops elites and if u have read it halo evolution's HEADHUNTERS the special elites could sneak up on a spatran with out its motion sensor catching it there for also couldn't it dissapear without a trace??? soundinf familiar noew so basicly my point is that BOBS are not some low ranking elite with no purpose thety are the iquivilent to the men in black ( in a way).

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

First of all, bump.
Secondly, I did the math. I did major calculations in my head, on paper, and in some TI calculators. They were all complicated, extremely long, and hurt my head. And after spending countless hours solving these equations....
I realized I still learned nothing new. :)
And one more thing, I love the work guys, so keep at it!
And if you were wondering, this is just a really long bump post.

BLOOM IS GONE FROM HALO:ANNIVERSARY, =D sorry had to post it somewhere.

Yes, I know bloom was never in Halo:CE but it wouldn't have been too hard to implement that sort of thing. Also could hint at them tweaking bloom in the future if you read what this post say's.
