From what I've heard, it seems like Halo 3's campaign skulls will activate individually each ime you complete a set (or whatever it's called) in Firefight mode.

Meanwhile, I have NOT heard of the ability to turn these skulls off. Does that mean we will be forced to deal with stupid skulls like Catch and Black Eye every time we play Firefight? I would really like to enjoy Firefight without skulls so I hope there is an option to turn them off, because they are unrealistic and often unenjoyable additions to the classic Halo gameplay.

Hmmm... good question.

I believe the point of Firefight is to issue a challenge to you, so the Skulls happily fill that void. There may be additional options available to you, nobody knows yet. We'll see when the time comes.

Yes, the skulls will add a great challenge to the game, but I wonder if there will be an option to enable or disable the skulls.

Maybe I don't want a challenge, perhaps I just want to breeze through it like I did my Associates degree.
Play on Easy then, Easy with all Skulls is just as hard as Normal or Heroic with no SKulls on.

My troll sense is tingling.

No skulls on is easy mode.

But I don't believe everyone wants a challenge. Firefight looks to be fun, but I think there should be some options. Disable skulls, alter difficulty, decide which skulls get activate, etc. Of course, altering the basic settings would probably disable achievements, but I'm willing to take that loss if it means I have more fun.

Can't you see I'm Busy!?

It would be cool, sort of like a custom game (no achievements/stats etc)

There is a difficulty level, so if you want to have an easy ride, start it up on easy.

If your suicidal start on Legendery.

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.

My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

It hink bungie has enough sense to not include some silly skulls like Black Eye and Blind.
IWHBYD and Grunt birthday party should definitely be options.

Actually, you're right! The ODSTs can't melee so there'll be no Black Eye, thank god!

yes, I'm sure you'll be able to. It is an expansion of halo 3, so it should be the same.
