Subject: black eye skull 3rd round

in this article it states that tough luck is the 1st skull activated and catch is the 2nd. I already knew this and im sure some of you did to.

later in the article it says black eye is 3rd. I dont know about yall but i think this is the most annoying skull and it kinda ruins gameplay.

i just want to run around and shoot and play normal i dont want to have to melee someone every minute

i dont know about yall but this kinda disappoints me

that would suck hard, like if your friend's sniping he'd have to go down and beat someone down

well when you grab the skull hopefully it doesnt activate it right away like it did in halo 2
thatd be dumb. in halo 3 it wasnt like that and because its an expansion hopefully it will not, but idk

i do believe the black eye skull affects health

so instead of running to healthpacks the healthpacks (grunts) run towards you...

I don't think it will be as hard in ODST. Halo 3's shields seem more important than ODST's stamina.

And if stamina regenerates when standing still as I've hypothesized, black eye will in a way be beneficial because you can regenerate stamina on the move when you punch someone.

Your blood will clean the blood for now.

i think the black eye recharges stamia so that means your screen will be red until you melee someone

Retreating is not cowardly, it's just fighting in a different direction

Maybe it will only affect your stamina. So if your stamina is low, it won't come back until you melee someone.

I'm sure healthpacks should get your health up.

I'll hold the rope..... and the camera. 'Cause I'm a multitasker like that.

It could be a "blessing in disguise" if it affects health and stamina. You could just hit a grunt instead of wasting your limited health packs.

Idea: Do you automatically pick up health or do you have to hold a button (RB)?

It would make sense that if you melee something you would recover your stamina.

As for health, you'll have to replenish it at various health kiosks located around New Mombasa.

We're sort of talking about Firefight, not campaign.

Yes, but on higher difficulties and with skulls the grunts will probably kill you first...

yea they definetely will once other skulls are activated which means teamwork is very important in this but do skulls come in after each round or set i forgot

This probably for stamina, because while there are grunts, they swarm, and your melee isn't the strongest in this one. Basically, you'd probably get owned if it was for health.
