The only skull (campaign only, not coop or multiplayer skulls) that does not immediately give you the skull text is IWHBYD. If you aren't watching for it its easy to miss. The first time I got IWHBYD I was not sure if I got it because I missed the words and heard the sound (I was looking at my motion tracker for movement of elites and I missed it). I moved out to get ammo and decided to see if I had actually gotten it, and viola, BAM, there I was outside the confines of the Arena..........I actually shouted "HOT DAMN!" and proceeded to fart around with a HUGE smile on my face.

Assassins is fun but your Marines are now useless as they cannot see anything but you. The tutorials out there will be a big help in seeing where the skulls are. Playing while they are on, well now that you are on your own with!

DO NOT GO AFTER IWHBYD WITH ANY SKULL IN YOUR POSSESSION EXCEPT SPUTNIK & ENVY!!!!!!

Yimmit....Keep in mind that skulls only activate when they are picked up while playing LEGENDARY, and their effects are only working while playing on LEGENDARY.

Once you have the skull (and the text of the name appears on the screen) it is yours as are its effects, you can drop it, carry it, beat something with it or just plain stand there. There is only one skull you can keep as a third weapon (for melee only), I think it is Angry, but I am not sure. You do not have to complete the level or anything. Normally when I put H2 in, I go get sputnik, before the noise has even stopped I have saved and quit to load another level. Usually Delta Halo (I LOVE THAT LEVEL) to go get envy, then as soon as I have the skull, its save and quit and load another level, usually outskirts or cairo station. From then on I play the campaign in order and pick up skulls as I go.

Catch is one of the most fun (causes each killed enemie to drop two grenades, and throw more at you), but watch out, with catch and sputnik on at the same time it is pretty hairy not only dodging all the extra (and well aimed) covie plasmas, but there are alot of unexploded grenades lying around to create some huge explosions with. Those can be just as dangerous to you as they are to others!

Just remember that until you either eject the disk, change profiles, or turn off your box, the skull effect is active.

By the way, the only way to get the effect off is to eject the disk, turn off your xbox or change profiles, BUT YOU LOSE ALL SKULLS when you do it.

It helps if you have some kind of general understanding of THE SIMPLEST DAMN THINGS! Every time I see you post, I swear I am positive you have no idea what you are doing.
Isn't that the point, he doesn't know so he asks?
Apologies, I'm in an angry mood today. Sorry mate.
For that remark, you're tops in my book. We all get that way, from time to time.

Yim, just eject the disc/reinsert and Blind will be off as will other skulls. Turning off the machine does the same thing. I play with Blind all the time (because I film) and you'd be surprised at how good you can get with a blind shot. It helped me in MP and also GoW.

I sent you a PM about where I am in the vid, but I still think you should take a while and look through all the info. I kinda wish I was just starting H2.

Go to HIH and tell 'em Grumpy sent you, it's a glitching/tricking website (no online glitches).
