Why does a man climb a mountain? Because it is there..

"Wow! It's like the money-shot is on MY face!"

The question I pose to you my fellow ODST forum followers is that is there any definite proof/assurance that skulls will be implemented in game?

If so, do you think that Bungie will implement a mode, once unlocking all of said skulls, that will automatically set the game to Legendary AI difficulty, activate all the skulls, and make it so that this would be a Mythic mode fully supported by the game?

If it hasn't been confirmed, Do you think the skull system will be the same (1 gold skull per level, a few minor silver skulls) or do you think it will have radically changed?

If you have thoughts on some skull ideas, I would love to hear them here! Here are some of my own:

In the Pink: Changes coloration of all in game characters to a pink hue.

High Octane: Vehicles will all have an increased speed, at a cost of control.

777: Enemy packs will come in 7s, or mutiples of 7.

No Scope: All Functions of Zoom aid have been Disabled
Fog:VISR and HUD Disabled (All you can see is the Gun)

...there are no levels, its open world. Skulls are only used in firefight, they are the Halo 3 skulls.

I think I saw a video of the campaign lobby and there was an option for skulls, so I'd say yes....

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

It's already been done, it's called Blind and you can't see anything from the HUD or the gun. Fog's another skull already too.

Hot Feet: Enemies run faster then normal.
Metal Head: Enemies are impervious to Headshots
Paintball: (Spoof off of CoD5 Deathcard) Bullets are colered and leave paint marks.

Skulls are confirmed, I believe.

Heres some skull ideas:

Thundercrack-causes enemies to be struck by lightning on headshot

Grunt Funeral- instead of cheering, a crying noise is heard

But The Dog Beat Me Over The Fence- unlocks hidden vehicles, dialouge and more

If you go to 2:20, it shows that there are skulls and then he verbally confirms it. He doesn't say if they are the same as the Halo 3 skulls though.....

yup

"Wow! It's like the money-shot is on MY face!"

Thanks for the confirmation guys, I appreciate it =]

I know that the game is mostly done, but I still like contemplating ideas for them, and I hope a few members here do too. A few more ideas:

Bullet Magnet: The trajectory of normally straight bullets/plasma suddenly curves *slightly*. Towards you.

Variable: Sniper Scopes will randomly change Between 2x - 10x and the numbers in between.

Football: Grenades are thrown like American Footballs (A less steeper arc than what you would expect from a spherical object)

...there are no levels, its open world. Skulls are only used in firefight, they are the Halo 3 skulls.

The game will shift back in time to play through that squad member's perspective on what happened. Every time it shifts back in time, it can be seen as a New Level, and I wouldn't imagine Bungie getting rid of skulls in campaign due to the Mythic runs people do now (All skulls activated in campaign, no deaths, no saves).

I hope 100 skulls is enough (if that's even true), gamers can become voracious about Easter eggs like these.

Dude, those were just ideas for skulls that COULD be in the game, not WILL. Anyway, heres more:

Call of Duty-makes the entire color pallet greys and dark colors, along with the aimer dissapearing.

WTF?- grunts can teleport

Dadab's Revenge- makes grunts turn on their brute commanders (quite helpful :)

I can see games becoming truly chaotic with teleporting grunts, and some truly funny moments, like a grunt teleporting 50 feet in the air and falling to it's death in front of you.

l33tsp34k: AI speaks with generic internet memes: Brute: I'm in ur base killin ur doodz!!!!!

Breakdance: The idle animations for Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts will be Breakdance battles.

Gore: Tons and tons and tons of Gore (a melee hit will cause the area in a 10 foot radius to be drenched with blood, as well as a vehicle hit.)

Roflcopter-causes guns to make the sound soi soi soi soi over and over (say it like swa)

Chuck Norris-causes the rookies melees to do more damage

Pimp it up!!-causes grunts to have diamond methane tanks, jackals to have sunglasses and brutes to have a NYC pimp outfit
