[quote]Since there are now three confirmed BOB Banshees, on three separate levels (not counting multiple spawns per levels) our search takes us to the skies, in search of BOB Banshees.

[quote]Three quick-points (for the people complaining, these points are my theories, not 100% fact):
1. BOBS work like Halo: 3 skulls, since the campaign had no skull collectables, or collectables that reward the player something.
2. Halo: 3 had a huge mystery, the IWHBYD skull, and hackers ruined it fast. Bungie isn't going to make the same mistake again.[/quote]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[quote][b]Question[/b]: Are there any videos showing all the BOB spawn locations so we can hunt for ourselves?
[b]Answer[/b]: Yes, the following videos are NOT mine, but they show the majority of the BOB spawn locations and they are pretty straight foward.

The videos above once again are NOT mine, but each video shows you pretty much every single BOB in the game and they are excellent.[/quote]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I consider myself a BOB fanatic. Me and my crew HRS know every spawn, on every level, on every difficulty for BOB. I understand how he works, and how much it takes to kill BOB. Now, I think people on Bungie.net and people who play Reach aren't looking at the BOBS the way I do.
The campaign had no skull collectables, and the skulls from Halo 3 unlocked armor, Hayabusa. I consider the BOBS to be "moving, interactive, skulls." There is a BOB on each level, and for the two levels (Exodus and New Alexandria) he is in a Banshee. (Proof: Under his description he is named as an Elite "Light" Vehicle.") I personally have killed one BOB per level on Normal, and now I'm two levels off killing each BOB on Legendary.
Before I elaborate deeper, each BOB gives you a medal, Bungie is having a lot of daily challenges for us to kill BOB on Heroic+, and these BOBS don't just appear as you progress through the level, they also appear behind you. On Long Night of Solace for example, as you move toward the Sabre, turn around in the level and head back to the beach. You will notice the beach is STILL full of activity. Now here is the fun part, kill three waves on the beach of enemies, and watch each wave. Each wave gets harder and harder. On wave 3, and toward the end, BOB will randomly drop in a drop pod, and disappear within two-three seconds. Bungie has programmed SO many unique spawns for the BOBS, I doubt it's just for fun or nothing.
BOBS descriptions tell you to "Wipe them out" "Seek and Destroy" and to simply kill them all. This is a reference to a Marathon Vidmaster, and to the secret of the BOBS, to find and kill them all on Legendary, just as you would wipe them out on Marathon. The Vidmaster also tells us to hit all switches and so on, but I think this doesn't matter. What we have to do Bungie.net is to kill ONE BOB per level, and make sure we get the "BOB" medal for each and every mission. This is why nothing has happened, because getting the BOB medal for the Banshee kills isn't possible. Yet Bungie states the BOB in the Banshee is a BOB, but it has NO pilot when destroyed and you don't get the medal.
Hackers destroyed one of the most secret, long term Easter Eggs of Halo 3: The IWHBYD skull. This was meant to take AGES to find. Hackers ruined it pretty quickly. Don't you think Bungie would have stepped up their game against the hackers for Halo: Reach? This is my personal theory, the BOB helmet.
[url=http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/7425/proofcs.png]Picture of the comparison here[/url]
The picture above is of the BOB eye piece from Marathon, and this secret helmet. This helmet is on the disk hidden away along with the chest piece we have seen in so many pictures. The screenshot was from IGN and IGN does not fake screenshots for the public. This picture was used on the Dashboard and has had a lot of attention. BS Angel from the Waypoint forums told us that "She can't tell us how to get the helmet, that would take the fun away from finding out how to get it." (Summed up quote) I doubt this means it will be unlocked via a patch in the future, this means the helmet works like Hayabusa did, get a BOB medal PER mission on Heroic+ and you get the armor pieces.
BOB has one-three unique spawns per mission, and they aren't normal spawns. Bungie has programmed some BOBS to be VERY hard to find, like the BOB on The Long Night of Solace. The secret helmet resembles the BOB eye piece from Marathon. Bungie is trying to help us along to killing these BOBS through daily challenges and is trying to bring attention to them weekly. The descriptions are to kill them all. BOB is VERY strong, probably the strongest enemy in the campaign shield and health wise, he flees, spawns secretly, and can vanish in thin air. He IS on each mission, and in a Banshee on two, which doesn't yield the medal for killing him.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DecoratedLizard [/quote] It doesn't exist. That's why nobody has found it. Only losers are still looking for it.

I find it interesting to think, that with all of the missions played, and the number of people playing, that it hasn't yet been found. This would be a testament to their difficulty... or someone has already found them but wants to watch the community sit and suffer :P

Thanks for the info, Lord Zedd. I've taken a screenshot showing where our missing Tip of the Spear BOB should spawn. [url]http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=25773366[/url]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HydratedRex1254 Ok, so this is open for theories. Here's mine, and again, I have to give some background. I noticed once that when I restarted a mission, BOB would always be at the same spot. Wishing to verify this observation, I tried it on Winter only to find this wasn't true. So I think "different" is a setting determined at the beginning of the mission, while "spawn" is determined later, perhaps at the last possible moment (when BOB has to be written into the scene). One thing that doesn't fit is that you list three different locations for LNoS, but no more spawn points. My experience is that if BOB arrives by drop pod, he will always arrive by drop pod (using revert to last save or restart mission), but that there are three possible locations for him to arrive. Thus, I would have expected three different with 5 spawns.[/quote] First part makes enough sense to me. Second, only one of those 3 are set to ride in a drop pod. [quote]This is interesting. I will have to take greater note of what weapons BOB uses on ONI to make sense of this. It raises a lot of questions for me. So, I was afraid that when you said xyz coordinates, you meant just that. Not sure how it will help me, but can you send them for Tip of the Spear? If you know the coordinates of any near by objects that might be helpful too. E.g. wraith, data pad, ...? I'm probably asking way too much ... I'll have to experiment to see if BOB spawns in different locations under the spire to see if those three spawn points refer to that particular "different" location. [/quote] To view coords in game just google that dev code that puts your current coords onscreen. And yes, those 3 are by the Spire: Bob1: "sq_twin_bob" Concussion Rifle Coords: 141.816, 96.74001, 13.77608 Bob2: "sq_cannon_bob" Concussion Rifle Coords: -93.87444, -107.5462, -20.49681 Bob3: "sq_spire_bob" Concussion Rifle (Weapon Set to squad, which as you'll see can be overridden by a spawn-specific weapon) Spawn1: -146.5478, -333.3505, -60.41689 Fuel Rod Spawn2: -126.5103, -344.0536, -62.0863 Fuel Rod Spawn3: -137.4828, -363.4956, -56.26675 Fuel Rod

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Lord Zedd I'm still not completely sure myself, but "different" refers to the number of squad entries, and "spawn" are the number of spawns assigned to a/the squad. [/quote] Ok, so this is open for theories. Here's mine, and again, I have to give some background. I noticed once that when I restarted a mission, BOB would always be at the same spot.

Thus, I would have expected three different with 5 spawns. [quote] Going off the above, there is only 1 squad entry which has 14 spawns assigned. That's all I can tell. I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but among those 14 spawns there are 7 Plasma Repeaters and 7 Concussion Rifles and after glancing at the coords, Every Concussion Rifle spawn is very close to a Plasma Repeater spawn. For example, Spawn 3: 395.8143, 166.4921, -19.14383, Plasma Repeater Spawn 5: 395.5341, 167.3049, -19.14382, Concussion Rifle [/quote] Yes, this is consistent with what has been observed. For us mortals who aren't reading god's codes, there are seven spawn locations. [quote] [quote]I've also seen the claim that there are five spawn points on ONI before, but didn't give it much credence. Would you care to elaborate on this claim? Is it like the one above? That is, are several of those spawn points in the same neighborhood?[/quote] The names suggest completely different areas (as do the coords), so I believe not. Also, I had already grabbed the coords for ONI before realizing what you were asking in the above two questions, so here they are anyway: Bob1: "sq_far_bob" Dual Wielding Plasma Rifles Coords: 34.5267, -68.30871, 5.770611 Bob2: "sq_air_far_bob" Dual Wielding Plasma Rifles OR a Concussion Rifle (Or maybe the Concussion Rifle is a secondary, not 100% yet) Coords: -8.661929, -154.7053, 4.452001 Bob3: "sq_air_bob" Single Plasma Rifle Coords: -134.5031, -130.8608, 11.65025 Bob4: "sq_garage_bob" Dual Wielding Plasma Rifles Coords: -83.24402, 47.80528, 16.50049 Bob5: "sq_sword_bob" Dual Wielding Plasma Rifles Coords: -122.5402, 31.87342, 26.50025 Enjoy![/quote] This is interesting.

Also,I posted this in a topic on WAYPOINT about the unfound 5th BOB on The Spire. If you don't know, Lord Friendship got confirmation a little over two weeks ago that there are 5 not just 4 as previously thought on this mission, however no one seems to have found the 5th yet....now onto my waypoint post..... "I don't know if this could be anything significant or not. Last night I was messing around on LNoS. I stole the Wraith, drove it back around and up the beach/hill to the Sword Base and got s check point. I think this was after the first drop ship I need to watch the film to be sure. I was going to try to get onto a Pelican with AL and try to get out of the map so I decided to kill the Marines to facilitate this. So, and this happened several times, Some of the marines actually gave me POSITIVE points instead of negative points, ranging from 160 to 1000+ points. What was really strange is that each time after this hapened another marine would say something like "Does he/she look like an alien to you?!" No BOBS showed up in my carnage. But is it possible that some Marines may in fact be BOBs as some had therorized at different times in the past? But much like the Banshee BOBs they don't show up in the Carnage report as BOBs. One other thing I noticed is that most of them seemed to be female Marines, with the helmets that covered their mouth, and probably 50% of the time their bodies dissappeared as soon as I killed them. So is it possible that the missing BOB or BOBs may actually be Marines after all, including the ToTS BOB? PS - I don't know if this matters but I was playing on Normal with IWHBYD, Grunt Birthday, and Cowbell on." I have never had a kill of a Marine show as a positive number bfore last night when this all happened.

Im sure you guys have noticed the pictures of the old maps on the anniversary maps but does anyone know if they are on Ridgeline or Solitude? Those are the only maps I cant seem to find one on. Im not saying that the dolls and the pics are related I just think it would make sense if they put one on all of the maps just like the dolls. [Edited on 01.01.2012 7:02 AM PST]

You guys dont know anything about the BOB spawning locations. In nightfall there is only 3 spawn locations in the package there is only 3.Ive been playing alot of campaign and i know where and when will they spawn. In nightfall you guys think there are many spwan locations because every time you get to the where he is,you frighten him and he runs everyehere.I could even assasinate the first and the last one with out getting spotted and still get away without being seen.
