Well I guess I better put some pants on.
I feel like I'm gonna break this thing!
For those of you who haven't read about how the waves are set up:
"Firefight begins with Set 1, Round 1, Wave 1. Each Set is made up of three Rounds. Each Round is comprised of five Waves, the base increment in Firefight. In the image above, the players are on Set 1, Round 3, Wave 4. Each time you dispatch a Wave you'll see new enemy reinforcements dropped into the battlefield, each more combat ready than the last.
Once you and your squad have completed Round 1 (again, comprised of 5 Waves), you'll be rewarded with a brief respite. Link back up with your squad, check your gear, and grab some of the ammo that's now been lovingly replenished. You earned every bullet. You'll get some extra lives as well to give you a little bit of confidence going into the next Round.
Repeat the feat three times, and you and your team will have completed a full Set and we'll layer on a new skull to make the next Wave even more interesting. How far can you ultimately make it? Well, that depends on your skill, the mettle of the soldiers you bring into the Firefight with you, and whether or not you remember to feed yourself during lengthy play sessions. The Sets will ratchet up ad infinitum. (And that's a really big number.)"
"Image above"
In the picture it shows that they have been playing for almost 25 minutes and are one wave off the first set.
If it takes that long to do one set, then to have all the skulls turned on you'll have to play for three and a half hours before getting to the hardest difficulty.
The hardest thing then seems to be concentrating for that long without having a break (more than the temporary ones between waves).
I know you can turn on skulls before you start, but I don't want to have to (and I'd like to see what order the game chooses them in).
Thoughts?
