OK, I know Halo 2 is practically dead due to no LIVE severs, Halo 3, Halo: Reach, old graphics, etc. But I hate leaving unfinished business, and thats what the Armory skull is. I did some research on Bungiepedia under Acronyms, and saw the Halo 2 OST Skull code, and it listed the first letters of all the skulls, ending in a W. I can NOT give you a link, due to the fact the page has very strong language(Bungie and their acronyms, sheez!), but I'll type it out:

E (Envy) G (Grunt B-Day Party) A (Assassins) T (Thunderstorm) F (Famine) I (IWHBYD) B (Blind) G (Ghost) B (Black) C (Catch) S (Sputnik) I (Iron) M (Mystic/Mythic) A (Anger) W (The Armory Skull)

EGATFIBGBCSIMAW.

The Armory Skull has a name, and it starts with a W. My problem is, what could the name be? Bungie never added its name to the game, so when you activate it the name doesn't pop up. So I've decided to do a little research, and came up with a word in the code: MAW, which is the last level of Halo: CE. I looked at its Halopedia page, and saw a part of the level named "Warning: Hitchhikers may be escaping convicts". So maybe the name of this skull is Warning? It would make some sense, since the enemies are always alerted to where you are, like they were warned about it.

I'll be investigating this more deeply, but for right now, this is it. Post anything you may have found, and I'll give you the credit.

The CoC strictly prohibits links to websites containing adult content and/or explicit material. I prefer to follow the rules thank you. And there are no pics, just text, which I typed in.

You can post any site contaning vulgar language. Hey, they say that in the games. (lulz).

And then all the elitests will be asking your source to be sure you didn't pull it out of your ass. Oh, and the mods rarely go here, there hasn't been mod action here in a long time.

Yeah, there's been speculation on that for years. We had a huge thread on TUE. There's also been speculation that W means Whuppapottimus. JNAMSFTFY is on one of the map packs, so the rumor goes.

Have fun with this.

No, they don't say this kind of language. Its on Bungiepedia, under Acronyms.
