Gold/Mandatory Skulls:
Iron- "Respawning is disabled. Be careful!" When Iron comes on, respawning is disabled until the end of the round. So don't take unnecessary risks, don't split off from the group, don't be stupid. Or you'll be waiting for a long time on flying cam, unable to help your teammates avoid the same fate.
Tough Luck- "Enemies always evade danger." This is the first skull that comes on. It's going to make it harder to score kills with grenades, needles, and plasma pistols. So focus on using those weapons only when the enemy has little room to dodge.
Catch- "Enemies love to throw grenades" This means that there will be a downpour of explosives aimed at you at all times. It also means that you need to prioritize enemies. Starting with Grunts. Then look to supress Brutes. Jackals, Drones, and Hunters can't throw grenades, so you don't have to worry about them anymore than you already do.
Black Eye- "Melee to recharge stamina." This one is a tremendous pain. You must pick your fights very carefully, making excellent use of cover. When you do get damaged, the only way to recover is by melee. This does NOT mean that you should go charge a brute when your stamina gets low. It means you should diminish the enemy force and bash the first grunt or jackal that comes close enough. I want to re-emphasize the importance of cover whenever drones come out.
Tilt- "Enemy shields deflect bullets." Break out the plasma weapons. PP and BPR are your close personal friends now. Well, they already should be, but now they are friends with benefits.
Famine- "Enemies drop low ammo weapons" Remember what I just said about plasma weapons being your friends with benefits. Now they're your buddy that slept with your girlfriend/sister. Deal with them when it's particularly necessary, but move on as quick as possible. There will always be more where they came from.
Mythic- "Enemies have 2X health." There's not much to say here. It's important to remember that an unshielded head shot is still a one shot kill.

Silver/Optional Skulls:
Blind- It takes away your hud, your ability to see your gun, everything. If you're the type of challenge junkie/ Mythic player that would actually enable this skull, then you already know all of the strategies for playing blind.
Cowbell(Or Sputnik, I've heard they're bringing back the H2 name)- Increases the physics on explosions. Larger force. Enable for the lulz, unless of course you are using...
Grunt Birthday Party- This makes grunt heads explode into confetti. This explosion can damage surrounding enemies. So increasing the force of the explosion (cough*cowbell*cough) would be a good idea.
IWHBYD- But a dog beat me over the fence. You know the deal.
