343i, PLEASE get rid of the skulls!

I can’t play the first 4 episodes of Spartan Ops without having to put up with the Grunt B-Day and Mythic skulls; what is the deal with this? Last I checked, it was supposed to be just Episode 3 that had skulls this week; could you PLEASE remove the skulls from Episodes 1, 2, & 4?

The Grunt B-Day is just annoying and the Mythic Skull makes Elites and Knights very frustrating on any difficulty higher than Easy. I really don’t want to have to put up with this for the next 8 weeks.

At the very least, remove the skulls from the episodes that are not currently featured in Spartan Ops matchmaking; I don’t want to play with Grunt B-Day or Mythic solo any more than I do in that lag-tacular lag-fest that is Halo 4’s online co-op.

Ironically, I was one of those asking for skulls to be added to Spartan Ops; but this isn’t what I had in mind. I was hoping we’d be able to toggle skulls at our own leisure just like in Campaign. Having 343i pick out the skulls for us and then forcing us to play with them on over a 10-week period is not what I wanted.

Agreed. Bad call 343i. If mythic is on, add catch, so we can sprint at them and backsmack them.

I think they’re focused on 5/6 TBO.

I agree. Being able to toggle which skulls we want would have been the ideal way to go, especially if we decide to go solo rather than co-op.

Me, I always go solo; the lag in Halo 4’s co-op is so unbearable it is simply not fun.

It’s almost as if they made it harder deliberately, as to so that no one would play it. Any Ideas?

Are we talking about in custom Spartan Ops? Tested it out earlier with a fellow Monitor and the skulls were not on in custom games, only online.

I love doing that.

The Skulls are turned on in the first 4 episodes; Episodes 5-10 are unaffected at this time. But for some reason they still have skulls on in Episodes 1, 2, and 4 even though they aren’t currently in matchmaking.

Play any one of the first 4 episodes, and see it for yourself. It even says in the descriptions that the skulls are on.
