I dunno if you guys know this, but when playing Long Night of Solace earlier, there was a BOB working on some computer thingy on the bridge.


Old.

Mayde its what all you guys said put together.

Like a boss.

We need a data miner

  • 11.01.2011 1:26 PM PDT

Another idea for you guys, is there any link between the data pads and the B.O.Bs. Just a thought?

Did anyone notice that on New Alexandria, there are 4 Jammers?

-3 from the main biuldings
-1 from a side mission

Just wondering.


weird thing about these switches on this map. the hospital switch will make the errara nite club into a rave lol. theres the phantom/pelican glitch switch as well as the switch above sinoviet that says overload jammer but does seemingly nothing since you still have to go through the drones inside to actualy overload said jammer.
But the sinoviet switch i have to note if you play n.a. on 4 player legendary will show up as a part of the actual mission.

I posted this a while back but maybe these switches are linked to the vidmaster challenge of old since you had to press ALL switches etc. and bobs in marathon were allies much lke the marines who attack you if you kill one of them JUST LIKE THE MARATHON BOBS.

i think we need to start looking into other angles and options we have yet to fully explore. i also stated this before but new alexandria is one of the only maps in single plaer campagin with all the elements that are listed in the old vidmaster challenge. the bobs(marines),multiple hidden switches, its (i may be wrong on this but check my original post about it lol) the seventh actual mission in reach(the vidmaster stated starting on the 7th level).

someone should look a little further into the simalarities between new alexandrias secrets and the vidmaster challange

  • 11.01.2011 8:34 PM PDT

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Thanks for the update and info.

you know,this is the first "you've got to kill stuff "theory I have seen to date that could actually hold some vallitity yet.....

as to hidden switches I do know that sometimes when you have one person in a falcon and one standing on the cockpit that when you fly into the ring and the pilot transports into the pelican the person on the cockpit of the now falling falcon gets into said falcon,

if they are still in the falcon to pelican zone , they will instantly turn into a pelican and fall to the hard barrier at the bottom of the map, physically unable to raise in height.....

now if you where in a norm pelican and tried to go through the bottom you will die ...but with this you are free to explore the underside in a high speed vehicle

I second this notion.

this thread is so old...i quit playing reach a long time ago and today i come back to look and see if this "super easter egg" was ever solved...sadly it seems it hasnt been so im once again disapointed with reach. *sigh*

  • 11.05.2011 2:30 PM PDT

i just figured something out, i know a way for bobs to not dissapper. it mostly works better on nightfall and WC. Bobs do not dissapear if they are not holding their gun. in nightfall the first bob and the last bob i observed him and figured he wont dissapear unless alerted and always has his gun down, and on WC if u do that falcon glitch and make him jack you he puts his gun down and doesnt dissapear.

Its kind of similiar to the "BOB OATH" maybe only kill bobs that are not alerted or make them put their gun away by making them jack you in any vehicle so they wont dissapear

try it maybe something will come up

I linked it for you


Did anyone notice the old Marathon Vidmaster Challenge? It practically screams at us that Bungie is using it somehow. Think about it. Punching Switches? Kill EVERY BoB? Why not use the Pelican in New Alexandria to explore the outskirts of the map? Maybe there's a BoB in the covenant cruisers just outside the city?

This has been investigated but to this point has yielded no results.

Last time I used the pelican easter egg, my friend and I flew inside the covenant ship and it was empty. It wasnt even a solid model. Its also super small. Anyway no B.O.B in ship.

just like when odst came out they had recon,I have a feeling when halo aniversary comes out there gonna have the grd helmet and all this pointless searching is gonna be for nothing and you guys are gonna feel like idiots. im just saying... thats my opinion.

Ok then, but there must be something to do with switches or something of the sort. There's plenty of secrets within the game if you know where to look for them.

Actually, considering how the whole level technically changes whenever you enter the pelican/phantom, whose to say some of the rooms on the rooftops aren't accessible only through the pelican switch easter egg? That could explain why the pilot can't reenter the pelican after he leaves it, maybe it requires more than one person to get them all.
