Candle, candle, candle. What are we going to do with you?

I am referring to this candle: Look right above the map name

Now, my ideas consist of these:
1. It's a skull symbol (skulls now have those nifty symbols on your Firefight HUD)
2. It's a map symbol

The skull idea doesn't really make a lot of sense since the difficulty in the lobby is set on Legendary I think that there would be more than one skull. Another thing is that judging by the images of Firefight, I can't identify any candle icon amongst the skulls.

Now, I have no knowledge of the maps having symbols so that might not make sense. Also even if the maps had symbols, a candle doesn't really fit Crater now does it?


So there goes my ideas, what about you? Come on forums let's solve this mystery...

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

Naa I Think it means they activated grunt birthday party...it says 1 secondary skull (silver skulls)

Its the same candle that is on the "Grunt Birthday Party" skull. Also it says Skulls: 1 Secondary, meaning it must indicate Grunts Birthday Party skull is enabled.

Yeah, I just remembered that the Grunt Birthday Party icon is that same little candle.

Evidence is undeniable, in combination with the "1 Secondary Skull" thingy.



So......case closed?

Low ambient light, portable light sources recommended for optimal efficiency.

its the grunt birthday party symbol, notice it says one secondary skull on. I think you can turn on silver (secondary) skulls in firefight besides the ones that turn on by themselves.

EDIT: just noticed all the other posts saying the same thing

It has to be where the skulls are, because it has all of that leftover space. Or the ODSTs have to carry around candles because there helmets are broken...
