As we know, in Halo 3 we have 2 sorts of skulls. Gold Skulls are designed to make the game harder. Silver skulls are designed to make the campaign playing more fun. The Grunt B'Day Party Skull is certainly one I have on everytime I play through the campaign.

While playing through the Halo 2 Campaign the other day, on the level where you play as the Arbiter for the first time, an idea occured to me. I believe that all the allies on that mission have active camo, even the grunts, so why not integrate this into the Reach Campaign?

Before you take one look at the paragraph above and think "Stupid Idea", let me lay out the idea for you. This "Camo Skull" would be activated the same way that a normal Gold skull is activated in the Halo 3 campaign. During the mission, every enemy that you come across will have Camo, and will behave the same way as they normally do in Campaign, but the one difference is you can't see them clearly.

As there are Elites in the Halo: CE campaign that use camo, it would follow the canon (not that it is needed), and I believe it would be one of the hardest skulls to have on, and as long as Bungie keep the Meta-game, it could be very helpful in achieving those new high score records.

So there you are. My idea in a nutshell. Take it apart, discuss it, or simply choose to ignore this thread, but please, post any ideas you have that could improve this to make it reach its potential.

Ah, but Envy only gave the chief camo.

Assassin did do the job though.

I was disappointed at the lack of the Assassins skull in Halo 3.

Exactly, it wasn't in Halo 3, and although not a new idea, it does need to be put back in.

Plus was every enemy invisible? Or just the Elites? I can't remember Hunters being invisible.

It would be really really hard to fight jackals, jackal snipers, and drones with a camo skull. I think the camo would be cooler if only the elites and grunts got camo.

But what Gold skull doesn't make the game really really hard (in comparison).

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Camo for the enemies seems like a cool idea. :)

I have to admit, I did forget that they had a skull like that in Halo 2. It would be good though if it could cover all enemies, including Hunters and Jackals.

No, I'm just a quick typer, and originally type it up in MS word, then quickly spell check it so it is legible. Everyone should do that.

It would certainly make it one of the hardest skulls. What multiplier should it have, if you imagine it exists?
3.0X?
