[qoute]i was just thinking tho, what if the bobs we seek in exodus and na arent gold elite rangers but the ivory general, minors, zealots and field marshells weve seen on ONI:sweord base
man makes a good point. have ANY elites been spotted on either level?

New Alexandria only has the elites in the hospital
Exodus has no elites so far.

Subject: The BOB Search Topic (GRD Helmet Mysteries)

I actually killed the elite banshee BOB on The Package, but instead of it counting as an elite light vehicle it counted as a covenant pilot; Why?

And yes, it was the banshee underground that briefly flew in and out.

Here is the game overview

look under enemies and open up the tab.

I remember when there were good ol days of strictly BOB hunts. Even though I'm still seeing some of it, it's not as many. It's a fact that the BOB helmet, yes the BOB helmet (and not some stupid GRD helmet), was not seen on Bungie day. On that day, the same guy would make lots of different threads claiming he saw that "GRD" helmet. He wanted to troll us all. It almost worked. ALMOST. But Otto confirmed no GRD helmet, so I wish that the title of this would go back to "BOB helmet mysteries."

Where is the BOB helmet then? Not on Countdown, not on LNOS, not on anything we currently have. But, the BOBs in campaign still give people something to do. If the truth of this helmet is not discovered before the end of this year, I don't really know what to think.

It's not that I'm crazy... It's just that, you're not as far out there as I am.

I doubt it is real... But I have been wrong before... Bungie is very very sneaky since that iwhbyd incident...

  • 09.18.2011 10:34 PM PDT

just when i thought my searching and slaying of these bobs was getting a little stale i found something ive never seen before...
a silver(or white) elite ranger dual weilding plasma rifles.
i found him on the normal bob spawn on ONI(heroic). i engaged him thinking he was just a spec ops elite bob or a minor bob, only to realize he was a non jet packing white ranger -without- a precision weapon.

i disposed of him with a few sniper rounds and was shocked that ive never heard of a white ranger bob anywhere in my readings. i checked my bungie.net carnage report and there was the gold ranger elite meadl confirming the kill.

its too bad im retarded and somehow managed to go try to save it only to have not actualy saved anything.
so i spent the next 2 hours trying to lure out this rare breed of bob in search of proof.

im curious as to why these white ONI BOBs appear as covenant commanders in the form of ALL elite classes on this map and while share the same BOB characteristics, they do not vanish at all. and is this the only map where they are disguied as NOT BOBs?

could these be part of an elaborate game bungie wants us to play involving the gold, the white and the bobshees(lol)? hidden within scripted points of the game only to vanish moments later and giving nothing more then credits for daily challenges, and a bungie.net medal. which tells you to "seek and destroy" & "wipe em out".

a good theroy ive heard is about the gold and silver skull connection to the bobs.
each map has a bob. some are silver(white), some are gold and then theres the bobshees. the package has a confirmed bobshee as well as a gold bob at rally point bravo as well as two other spwans on that map. ive read someone documented 7 gold bob spawn points on winter contingency which i s weird cuz there is only a few on every other map(or is there?).
usualy theres only one bob spawn per playthrough. so this is interesting.
consider how halo3 had a gold skull on each mission. plus silver skulls on select missions and the second blind skull on cortana.
i dont know if youre logic works like mine but im seeing a pattern in all this. bungie doesnt put hoops in their game for people to jump through. nothing is coincidence.

what is their true purpose why has bungie installed these BOBs into the campaign? is it to keep the community running around in circles till halo 4 comes out? very doubtfull. ive heard ppl say that bungie intended the IWHBYD skull to take years to find, something that would have been a great community hunt. insted it was ruined by ppl who would rather not have to do any work finding it at all.

and here we are one year after reach came out and were still balls deep looking for the answer to this golden riddle, and some people actualy think that this is a wild goose chase and has no meaning and that there is no reward waiting for the hours of time the community has spent chasing this dragon so to speak(yer never gonna catch it). there is too much mystery behind this whole thing to write it off as a cool easter egg or a tough elusive oppenent.

maybe BOBs true purpose will be revealed in the coming months.
or maybe we will need to keep digging as a community if we ever want to know why so many bobs must die.

That was the silver wanabee bob you can find on ONI.
There are 2 areas.

1 in the courtyard outside when you're coming back, he'll be where your originally started.
2nd will be at shotgun spawn on swordbase.
Their armor will always be random.

The connection to gold/silver skull doe snot hold as there are only 2 silver bobs.

well i already know all about bob on oni so i dont see why yer trying to explain where he spawns and such.

and you sir are wrong there is only one white bob since one spawns on every level. to say theres two on oni would be to say that there are 25 throughout the game.

the rule is one bob per map. no proof has been brought forward proving otherwise except for the package. now what if there are more then one bob on SOME maps. this would signify that its possible the skull theroy isnt debunked yet. there may even be just the 9 bobs one for each that we HAVE found and other very well hidden bobs such as the package bobshee. it is possible that theres things we as a community havent found.

maybe this "BOB" game is simalar to the collecting of skulls but alterations have been made seeing as how easy it is to find the dark secrets within the game code.the bobs have a pattern a reason behind why they are there. this is a better theroy then anything youve ever spilled out of yer suck muscle on this thread kira so keep on trollin. lemme know how that works out for you when yer forty and lonely(if yer not already)

if there is any reward from seeking and destroying bobs whatsoever it will not just mysteriously appear to you saying new armor unlocked. it will have to come in the form of an achievement in the software update such as the dlc disc coming with cea, and it wont be something that will not be in any way EASY. it will require you to truly earn it.

I watched your video and you showed the white wanabee BoB on ONI.
The white one will always have "random" armor permutations going from minor to general.
You just found him with the Ranger permutation.
He can also spawn latter in the swordbase area, shotgun room.

Also, there are 4 silver skulls and only 2 White BoB spawn locations, both on ONI.
2 != 4 last I checked.


You can sometimes see 2 BoBs on a level if you happen to fail to kill the first one I believe.
Could also be dumb luck.

People believe BoBs have a reason to be and give them a reason to be.
I have been in this thread since near day 1 and have yet to see any kind of link between BoBs and the so-called "reason they are there".

Also, the DLC coming with CE:A is simply a map pack for Reach, it's not the full game itself and the TU was already said to not include any "new armor".

then why all the hush hush, no comments and the interview slipup by frank o connor from 343 about "new" armour.
and the supposed bungie denial about its existence is bull too cuz they would have had to put what you need in the game to unlock whatever may be on the way. look at the banshees on the package which we all know will have something to do with some achievement like halo 3 and odst. why else would they have random banshees. id like to note to that the ghosts on the mission halo in halo 3 were thought to be just an easter egg till the annual vidmaster achievement and we all know what we got for completing the halo 3 vidamster challenges.
A NEW HELMET.

you have to consider that they have put a completly new gun into reach multiplyaer the ce pistol. so that was either in the works long before the game was launched and was never on the original disc. or they developed the software after which means they could potenialy do whatever they want. new armour, new visor colors, hell they could even throw a new firefight commendation into the mix for wheelmans since theyve implemented marines into firefight now. maybe the new maps will have skulls to find in forge.

YOU DONT KNOW CUZ YOU DONT WORK FOR BUNGIE/343. so stop trying to tell everybody in this thread about the impossibility of new reach content aside from maps.

They can render the level impossible to finish unless you revert to previous checkpoint or restarting the level itself.

Current pistol tweaked to make it feel like the 3SK CE pistol.

Maybe on the new maps but seeing as there are none to find the the entirety of the game, I wouldn,t get my hopes high.

You're correct here for about the first time in the post.
I don't work for 343i/Bungie.
I take the information given to me and I make my opinion out of it.
Same thing you do.

kira the only thing you are is a troll and a cynic. if not youd be doin something alot more usefull with your time then coming on this thread everyday and talking -blam!- about the theories and ideas about the mysteries of this game.
the saddest part is how youve just been repeating yourself from day one. do you hear that?........ its the sound of no one caring about your bias uneducated cynical opinions.
start a new thread called -how can so many stupid M***** F*****s waste their days chasing ghosts and beliveing in something that is not real and they have no hope of ever obtaining.
then go on that thread everyday and troll there and see how many ppl give a crap about what you have to say.

If it was possible for 343 to add new armor to Reach. That's say this helmet. After one week. Would anybody even care about it?

I'm thinking the only reason why you people want it. Is because you don't have it.

i dont even care about new armor or helmets. sure itd be nice, but im more concerned with solving the mysteries behind the whole thing. there is too much in this game that has no meaning considering its coming from bungie who love to pile as much crap in there as their sick minds can come up with. i truly believe it we be an injustice to ten years of halo fans to put nothing hidden deep within reach for us the community to find and treasure and say "we found it" its ours now.

yes you are a troll becuz you come on this thread specificly to disagree with ppl and overall be a d-bag.

if you werent a troll you wouldnt be trolling you retard. you wouldnt be in this thread and we wouldnt be having this discussion. if you werent a troll you wouldnt take the time out of your oh so busy day to knockdown peoples thoughts and ideas. claiming "its your opinion"

insted you wait on this thread like a troll under a bridge waiting for someone to walk by with their 2 cents on the actual subject of this thread. and tell them theyre wrong and they had better not get their hopes up. theres no new this, they cant do that.

Relax man. You need to quit causing a flame war and stop with the personal attacks on Kira. You are merely making a statement that has been discussed before in the pervious 177 pages of this thread. Kira, like myself, has actually read all of those 177 pages and he is simply saying that what you have said has been talked about before and deemed incorrect. Be my guest to go back and check if you don't believe me.

Ok so... I don't agree with Kira. I find it hard to believe anyone can speak on the capabilities of the engine. I remember at one point in time though, firefight maps were "impossible" to add.
That being said, regardless of whatever conclusion is made in this thread, the actual answers will be found in a month or two.
If people over-hype themselves into buying CEA or the related map packs, is that not for the benefit of the reach population and reach? Why argue this HERE. it will go nowhere.

Can we look for bobs noaw, it will be rewarded with 5000 points!

  • 09.20.2011 4:07 AM PDT

the funny thing is i read the older threads and kira is still coming into this thread basicly just to slam peoples theories and "correct" them when theyre wrong. get a life dude, seriously its sad. if you dont have something useful or interesting to say in regards to this thread or any of reachs secrets, then stop proving people wrong and correcting their thoughts and ideas.
