	In Response To: Re: BOB in the overhead map (Andrew Nagy (school)) : Hard to explain why every single human on Marathon had such things implanted. Didn't they have those gnarly thingies implanted in their eyes and such? There's a thousand thousand strategic reasons for knowing where everyone is, and it'd be typically Durandal to want to know everything about everyone, too. Also it's probably a gameplay element - a relic from those levels where you have to find and save all the bobs. It's handy on them, btw. : It could be something like a PDA/cell phone that lets them access the ship's : network. But even then, there would have to be a few exceptions; people : who just didn't bring theirs that day, or Pfhor who picked one up for : study. Not that Bungie would waste a whole monster slot to create such an : irrelevant detail. : Also, the prisoners on Unpfhorgiven wouldn't be allowed to keep anything like : that. So whatever's broadcasting their location has to be : internal/built-in. : Something like the heartbeat sensor in Rainbow Six? Or "scanning the : planet for life signs" in Star Trek, Star Wars, and Stargate? But I : don't know if anyone's gotten away with saying you could identify human : from alien life signs at that distance. : It can't be related to sensors in the ship's halls, because it also works on : Unpfhorgiven. Unless the Pfhor have tagged their prisoners with beacons, : and Durandal reprogrammed your map computer to detect those? : I wonder if the Pfhor explanation applies to every level. But in The Rose, : they haven't been there very long; I wouldn't think they'd have time to : tag everyone. : If it's important, you could try to ask Matt, or ask Frankie to ask Jason, or : ask The Escapist to ask Greg.
