This ‘to do’ list is just fun things for new players who want to search and explore for eggs or long time players who are tired of playing regular campaign. Explore the freedom of the greatest game ever made to the fullest (without mods), with YouTube vids as backup if you get stuck. To do the Easy parts and some of the Hard parts, no skill is needed. However, some of the Hard parts and all the Insane parts takes some real skillzorz.
This is my personal favorite as an example of what you can do without skulls or special skills (except for the last part; you have to fall through the map): Grumpy's Odyssey Edited by forevercha0s but re-edited (shortened for YT) by me.
Any Level - Get all the skulls YT DL. Especially Sputnik (really easy, they just give it to you)
Note: I've simplified getting the IWHBYD skull - Even though I use it, Blind is not needed for any adventure.
Easy:
CS - Explore outside the station (where the first jet-pack Elites are) YT
CS - See the bloody Marine in Hanger 2
CS - Find the frightened Marine that's hiding at the MAC gun YT
CS - Get the Grunt Birthday skull, then shoot Sarge in the head and he will levitate YT Done as a variety vid by Kratos and the levitation is toward the end.
OS - Hop on the tunnel roof and explore, crouch jump up or take a ride (Ghost or Hog) YT
OS - See REX, written in stone, and pick up the sword YT
OS - Stop Sarge and get the Pelican to fly away without him YT
Note: You can also beat Sarge into a corner to stop him but it can be stressful
OS - Make the IWHBYD skull appear (not hard, just time-consuming) YT
Note: IWHBYD = I Would Have Been Your Daddy (but the dog beat me over the fence)
OS - Ride around in the indestructible Hog YT
OS - Pile up grenades (by killing coop partner) and splode them under the indestructible Hog
OS - Drive through the barrier (at the tunnel), into the water and spawn the Scarab
OS - Get on the roof-tops at the beginning and explore (see IWHBYD vid)
OS - Get on the tunnel roof and go see the ‘Water Wall’ YT
Met - Go up on the bridge tower and look at IOHBOY (w/sniper) YT
Met - Look behind the street sign to see the ‘Yellow Hog’ (by the HQ building) YT
Met - See the HOOT barrels, or is it KOOT (King Of Our Time)? YT
Met - Get in the Pelican that drops off troops and take a ride YT
Met - Get a Banshee through the tunnel YT
Note: Use a Ghost for this, much easier. You do not have to shoot the wings off the Banshee and you do not have to wait for the loadzone. Just get one wing inside the last tunnel and get in. Do not damage the wings!
Met - Fly Banshee up above the HQ building and get the Scarab gun YT
Met - Fly Banshee to the giant soccer ball and play with it YT
SI - Attain God-mode YT
SI - Find the infamous hole in the Sentinal Wall YT
DH - Drive a tank off-level and explore all over the mountains YT
DH - Drive a Ghost off-level (extremely easy) YT
DH - Find the mysterious BSOD switch (use sniper scope) YT
Regret - Find ‘Hi Ben’ YT
Note: I always film with Blind activated and you can't use a flashlight with Blind, so the image is not as clear as it will be for you.
Regret - Knock Regret out of his chair (Needler works best) YT
QZ - Go off-level on every big outdoor map and explore
QZ - Visit the Flood Cave YT
QZ - Go see the 'Secret World' in the Gondola tunnel YT
QZ - Go see the two floating SMG’s at the Index entrance YT
GJ - Fly up to the Zen Garden or down to the Red Room (real easy) YT

GJ - Fly a Banshee in the front door to fight Tartarus YT

Insane:
Armory: Pressure launch to the top of the MAC gun, by SRL Vid
Note: Keep in mind I am talking about launching on top of the MAC gun while you are on the level Armory. SRL put a box at the elevator door, halfway in - halfway out (where Sarge comes to take MC on the Tram). When the elevator door tries to close, SRL hopped on the edge of the box and was propelled upwards with so much force that he went through the ceiling and all the way up to the MAC gun.
CS - Launch to the top of the MAC gun, by dantheman87 Vid
Note: On the level Cairo Station you cannot easily gather nades in order to make a big pile for launching. Daniel noticed that nades stick to boxes or pieces of objects so he killed all enemies so that nades flew onto an object. He then rolled the dang thing to more enemies and repeated. By the time he got to the launch-site he had 36 nades. You have to watch to believe.
OS - Swordfly to the Scarab gun YT
OS - Freeze a Pelican or a Phantom and take it to the end cutscene
QZ - Get a vehicle on the Gondola and take it to the Index Chamber Vid 1 (close) Vid 2 (perfect)
Note: I've been asked to explain this one so it's more understandable. This vid involves launching a vehicle from one map, past it's barrier and into a completely different map, then get in the vehicle and drive around. The map I launch from is the last big outdoor area of QZ just before the Gondola ride and the map I launch to is the Gondola map. The launch is the first thing you see, then P2 goes through the loadzone below. I launched from the top of the map, toward the barrier (and the picture of the Library beyond). The barrier dropped when P2 hit the lz, allowing my Spectre to fly right through it and onto the next map. I raced P2 with the Ghost and hit the cutscene and I kept pressing A as fast as possible. When the Gondola appeared, the Spectre arrived at the same instant and was 'captured' where you see it. The reason I put two vids up is because you cannot see the Spectre landing on the Gondola but you can see the Spectre landing on the support beam in vid 1.
QZ - Overload the whole level to change the end cutscene DL YT
QZ - Go down into the Flood Cave and launch yourself through the tunnels to the end (coop)
