I miss the skull as the oddball.

I am not complaining. I am just stating that I miss the oddball being a skull. I always thought it was funny beating another player to death with a skull. Halo 4 is a new game, so I accept that there is a new oddball.

but does anyone else miss the skull?

Texas beat him to death with his own skull!

That doesn’t seem physically possible.

But yeah, the skull was part of Halo tradition. I don’t see why it was changed.

It’s now an etheral skull.

Most likely for fiction reasons. 343 stated a big goal of theirs was to integrate multiplayer into the fiction of the universe. A flaming skull doesn’t make any sense. A forerunner artifact does.

That said, it was a freaking flaming skull! How cool is that!? I’ll miss it, too, but I think the integration with the fiction is pretty freaking sweet, personally. I mean, the oddball was a minor detail, and 343 paid attention to it. I think that speaks volumes about how much they put into accomplishing that goal of fiction integration.

It is a transparent glowing blue skull in a metal ball casing.

I miss this too. I wish they brought it back. It was pure and true halo.

Skull is still there…

It’s still a skull bro. Now it just looks cooler imo.

Nope, won’t miss it.

Speaking of flaming…I’ll miss my flaming helmet in Reach. =( Wish they would bring it back in H4.
