Subject: Firefight Skulls.

I apologize if this has been asked before but,

Will the skulls in the new Firefight Co-Op mode be selectable? All I know so far is that as you progress through the multiple waves of covenant, more and different skulls are activated. Perhaps will there be a "social, or unranked' Firefight, in which we can drop with 3 friends and own some covenant?

And as everyone so plainly sees, there is in fact going to be skulls, does that mean the Mythic skulls that are found on the mythic maps will POTENTIALLY serve a purpose in Halo 3: ODST?

Also, does this mean that there will be some more skulls to find in the new campaign of ODST?

So many questions! Let's hope that is followed by some unstoppable answers!

I just know that ODST will have more surprises around every corner than all previous Halo video games.

Join the Spartan I Project [SIP] for help on getting those hard to crack achievements and having some fun whilst doing so

from what i understand, nothing about firefight can be changed. The enemy waves are all random and the sequence at which the skulls are activated remain the same. You can't as a player turn them off or on. Maybe you will be able to in campaign, but no word on that yet

The skulls themselves are the same ones from the Halo 3 Campaign, such as tough luck, iron, catch etc

i think the skulls turn on as you progress through sets (waves, hordes, whatever you want to call it)

but from what i got from the trailer/walkthrough of Firefight, they can't be turned off once they're on, and eventually they will all turn on.

There will also be Halo 2 skulls...or so I've been led to believe.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

It said they affect the AI. And there were 7 on the HUD. 7 again

So I guess there won't be Iron, Famine, Sputnik, Blind...

1. Thunderstorm
2. Tough Luck
3. Mythic
4. Catch
5. Ghost
6. Overshield skull?
7. Assassin? :O

I'm aware that the skulls turn on as you progress, but what I am hoping for, is a Firefight without having to compete against grueling skulls.

Nothing implies so.

It looks the difficulty is set around normal or heroic. Without skulls it would be all too easy. It would be Infinity mode instead of Survival.

I don't like skulls much, but if they are fair (No 10X Health) and fun, this can work perfectly.

I would like to be able to just go in and just kill some covenant with no skulls!
