Yea and I just saw a video where you can get out of the map on Exodus. So possibly there could be bobs out of the map.


Anyone want to see the of they can see the Grunt on long night of Solace with the Pan Cam? If you can, then wouldn't it be easier to check NA and exodus's "out of bounds area using the pan cam. If you can seeit the grunt that may mean that you have to come within a certain range for the enemies to spawn. Witch would mean back to square one...

You can't use the pan cam to go out of map. It still says you're leaving the battlefield. But I think you are right. The enemies spawn when you get to a certain spot.

Yes, but... fifteen thousand times more ugly.

@Husker8696: Pan Cam is for theater...

After a while this thread gets tedious to check in on, cause it's the same questions over and over again. So I'm gonna sum it up in a single post, which may make it easier to re-post when the need arises (if I miss anything let me know and I'll edit it):

What we know about B.O.B's:

1. Stand's for Born On Board a reference to Bungie's game Marathon.
2. The spawn on every level in campaign with exception to Noble Actual. Though on Exodus and New Alexandria only BOBshee's have been found. (B.O.B's in Banshee's)
3. They currently unlock nothing and as far as we know are just an Easter Egg reference to Bungie's Marathon.
4. They give you a medal when you kill them that is only available on Bungie.net
5. They spawn in the same area's based on the game timer, or the proximity, or do to some special event.
6. They are ALWAYS Elites
7. They are Almost always Gold Ranger Class Elites
8. The exception is on ONI: Sword Base where they are white with randomly generated armor.
9. Any rank Elite can be a B.O.B
10. They are extra tough and harder to kill than normal Elites.

GRD/B.O.B Helmet

1. IT IS NOT ON THE Halo: Reach DISK this has been proven.
2. It is not known if it will ever come to console.
3. Bungie blue flames, the legendary flames, Elite Officer Armor, all came pre-shipped on the disk, which means that they have always been their and were not added later on. This means that GRD/B.O.B Will not be added by Bungie later on.
4. It is unknown if 343i have the ability to add armor to Reach, only theories have been proposed no confirmed information.
5. GRD IS B.O.B
6. GRD comes from people who have claimed to see the helmet in Tender Loins armory during Bungie Day 7/7/2011, it is unknown whether this is its actual name. Although Bungie has stated that it was not actually in the armory and that people only thought they saw it, when in fact they didn't. Some people take this claim as false do to Bungie's history of keeping things secret.
7. The reason it's called B.O.B is because of the way it looks, which is similar to the B.O.B's of Bungie's Marathon.
8. No you can't unlock it.
9. The only confirmed images of the helmet is from IGN's preview/article on the Defiant Map Pack developed by Certain Affinity and published by 343 Industries. This same picture was featured on the Xbox Live Dashboard.
10. I cannot stress enough IT IS NOT ON THE Halo: Reach DISK!

GRD is fake anyways, you guys can believe it but im tired of this crap flooding the forums

Nolan is Nolan.

This is confuzzling. I recall Bungie saying it was impossible by their part to add any more armor to the game, and it still seems so since all of the extra content was already actually on the disk.

  • 07.31.2011 4:27 AM PDT

Suerly they could release a title update with the coding for the armor?

I once had my falcon on new alexandria being emped by my friend. It hit the bottom. Theres a layer thats solid... I heard an elite sprinting nearby.. Investigate it?


We were aware there was a bottom but the sprinting elite? I doubt that somehow, you didn't even see it.

This is just pure curiosity but why do people say that unearthed has an extra 200+ megabytes attached to it???


Cause they:
A: Don't know what they're talking about.
B: Supposedly those who had the map pack early had to redownload it and it was 200MB bigger.
C: They lack appreciation for the size of 200MB, you could fit a hundred helmets in that.

Basically the map pack may have gotten bigger, WAS bigger than the noble map pack, but nobody knows which map was bigger or why.

We should really just check the BoBshees people think they may have found.

The ones I remember are in
1.Glacier area of The Package
2. Beginning of The Pillar of Autumn (I think)
3. Boneyard Section of The Pillar of Autumn(not sure)
4. Nightfall where legendary datapad is at (I still want to Try)
5. Spire Section of Tip of the Spear (I think)
6. Courtyard section of Winter Contingency (I think)
And....

I think that is it

I do think GRD isn't on the Disc, but from what we've seen and who've we've seen if from, I speculate that all the GRD sightings have happened from special versions of Reach, like Developer kits of the game.

Apparently BOBs can pilot Falcons?!

If it was fake IGN would not have put the pictures up. They never put images up until they know they are REAL.

There is a challenge today to find a BOB!
I think its a sign that 343 are telling us its to do with an easter egg or an unlockable!

I randomly came up with the name a few years back and outa curiosity, i looked up what it could mean.

From a japanese translation

Onime = demon(oni) eye(me).

Kira = As a female name, Kira is a variant of the name Ciara, from the Gaelic meaning "dark".

So i guess in a litteral way.
Kira Onime =? Dark Demon Eye?
