Good God man! Are you trying to make LASO impossible! I would personally like to see more skulls that are more goofy than anything else. They don’t really affect difficulty at all but they are just there for fun, like grunts having targets painted on their faces or something.
The bandana skull. because i dont want my game difficulty going MAJOR MALFONCTION! on me.

> Impossible? Well… maybe just one or two from my list. I mean, you can’t really have “all power weapons” and “no power weapons” on at the same time.
Mainly the ones about all enemies spawning with power weapons, their damage being double with yours cut in half, and the one about your health draining over time.
It looks like 343i set a standard with CE by making skulls more about customization than difficulty.
I personally like skulls for difficulty like Bungie did, but to be honest I don’t even have a terribly strong reason for this. I just like the idea of skulls being like horseman of the apocalypse, artfully worded and always bringing the pain.
I would love it if they combined the systems and separated the skulls into sections. Gold skulls for difficulty and silver skulls for fun.

Skull that makes vehicles leave a rainbow trail
Skull that inverts your controls/changes your sensitivity at random intervals

Skull that replaces your weapons with skulls
Skull that replaces all of your ammo with training bullets that immobilizes enemies
Skull that makes Cortana insult you occasionally
Skull that replaces sprint with evade
Skull that gives enemies armor lock and troll AI
Skull that takes away jumps

*Chip n’ Dales would be a gold skull, they would not get guns and only dance
A skull to fully disable all level boundaries would be nice. There are a lot of people that react very strongly to bounds, and I think they’d love a skull like that. To prevent people from cheaply getting the campaign achievements, the skull could be unlocked per-difficulty by beating the campaign.
There could be a skull to replace Cortana with Sergeant Johnson – lines included, and with him present during gameplay as a Halo-3-Arbiter-esque ally.

yes
> In addition to the skulls we already have, some of these (if only one or two) would make a nice challenge:
>
> Skull so that double the amount of enemies spawn - Yay. Would also be nice if it affected friendly AI.
> Skull so I can’t use grenade - Redundant like Foreign
> Skull so I can’t use AA - Redundant like Foreign
> Skull so that my health (not shields) slowly goes down over time and only regenerates when I kill an enemy. - Nay. I’d prefer shield decay.
> Skull so that allied AIs do no damage to enemies, and are never targeted by enemies - Yay. This could be incredibly useful for AI collections.
> Skull so that no power weapons appear in mission - Redundant like Foreign
> Skull so that all enemies have power weapons - Maybe. AI with power weapons generally suck in cqc.
> Skull so that enemy vehicles are dropped in pairs where they appear, and so that I can’t hijack vehicles. - Should apply to single seat vehicles like Ghosts and Banshees. Multiple Wraiths are just going to be backup vehicles that I use if I lose one. Think about it. Now that you can get in the turret to get the driver out, inability to board a Wraith doesn’t really make much of a difference.
> Skull so that weapons that trace do so half as well against enemies, and trace twice as well against the player - Nay. Enemies already have homing fuel rod guns. Those would be unavoidable unless the speed of the projectile was severely reduced to balance. Or are you just talking about plasma pistol, plasma launcher, and needler? I suppose it could work but I’d hate to see the Needler get further nerfing.
> Skull such that the field of view is reduced and, in outdoor maps, the range of view is obscured by weather effects. - Nay. A big fov can contribute to immersion. The weather effects idea sounds interesting though.
When I say ‘Redundant like Foreign’, I mean that it would be better included in Custom Games/Firefight style options.
Skulls have been occurring in small numbers since H3. If they were to surpass 15, then they should have very unique effects.
A skull for third person mode (like third person perspective in Reach’s theater), and a skull that makes Master Chief a UNSC green, gold visored version of our Spartan IV from multiplayer. Other than that, I don’t care much.

Skulls have been around since Halo 2.
> Skull that makes some enemies invisible - Yay. That’s reasonable. But if their camo is too good, then they should be able to be spotted such as by malfunctioning cloaking or being noticeable in bright locations.
> Skull that enables enemies to assassinate you - If they’re standing in place and meleeing like Reach Elites, this.
> Skull that makes vehicles leave a rainbow trail - Yay.
> Skull that inverts your controls/changes your sensitivity at random intervals - Holy…
> Skull that makes idle npcs dance - YAY!
> Skull that gives enemy grenades a small chance to spawn a vortex that drains your shields and teleports you - This sounds oddly familiar.
> Skull that replaces your weapons with skulls - Nay.
> Skull that replaces all of your ammo with training bullets that immobilizes enemies - Need more detail. What’s the nature of immobilization? Stun?
> Skull that makes Cortana insult you occasionally - That would certainly disconnect me from the story…
> Skull that replaces sprint with evade - Yay.
> Skull that gives enemies armor lock and troll AI - Oh God no.
> Skull that takes away jumps - Redundant like Foreign.
> Skull that replaces vehicles with various mythical creatures - Yay.
> Skull that changes all friendly AI into male strippers - 0_0
> Skulls have been around since Halo 2.
There were 5-6 more skulls in H2 than H3. ODST and Reach did not add any new skulls.
CEA came close.
I like the fun and/or humorous campaign-based skulls, like Grunt Birthday Party and IWHBYD. I loved the Grunt Funeral skull that you got for pre-ordering CEA, too. Hopefully, they give us a similar campaign skull as a pre-order bonus for 4.
