Interesting article I found.

There was a lot more we wanted to ask, but 343 Industries played it coy with details about extensive tie-ins to Halo: Waypoint, changes to the campaign that allow you to play levels as originally delivered or as "remastered versions" (did someone say Library?), and ways to tweak the difficulty of the campaign levels (if you're thinking skulls, you're on the right track).

Link.

They've added some visual cues to help guide people through The Library but that's about it.

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?

So skulls are being added? Nice. I can imagine how much more fun I can have with Cowbell on for blowing the Warthog to places it wasn't supposed to go.

No. Skulls are not being added.

"if you're thinking skulls, you're on the right track" Not exactly skull, but something like that. Is he talking about the terminals? Or something like skulls.

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

Having Cowbell on would make Tower To Tower a WHOLE -blam!- TON EASIER!

He mentioned "tweaking the difficulty" and as far as I know, terminals simply tell a back story.

If not skulls, what other ways are there that can tweak the difficulty? Nothing comes to mind to me, skulls have been the standard for changing the game in every Halo except Halo: Combat Evolved, I don't see why they wouldn't add them. (What possible new system like skulls could they be making?)

If they aren't using skulls (which they very well could be), what comes to my mind is something similar to firefight 2.0 options, but for the campaign. Just an idea.
