skulls pre-unlocked -_-

I am truly disappointed with this. i was looking forward to finding them.

What are you guys’s thoughts on the matter?

I don’t really care about the skulls so much.

Yeah, sure i can agree finding them in H2,H3 was fun, but i don’t really care about the skulls so much.

There is already a thread on this.

Same

Personally prefer to just find terminals.

why thank you :smiley:

This is the first I’ve heard about this :frowning: I loved looking for skulls and helping friends find them. Also unlocking pieces of armor was really fun… Iwhbyd… But the dog beat me over the fence.

At least there is still terminals, imo terminals are better as it gives extra story.

I’m inclined to agree with you on this.

Least we can find them.

I’ll live. I’m too excited to look down at things! :smiley:

i thought more people would be disappointed, but yeah i suppose you guys are right, at least there is something to hunt for.

Sacrificed for the benefit of campaign challenges? I know you don’t earn S-IV XP from playing normally, but aren’t there still campaign challenges?

That’s my bet as to why. Could have been a workaround for coding the challenge-XP system for challenges with skulls on, maybe too little time to make it work. The campaign challenges, many of which use skulls, get automatically setup, including the skulls, in Reach if you select the challenge. If they blocked off those challenges until you’d found the skull, people would definitely complain too, that they couldn’t get as much XP as possible that week/month/whatever, that’s for sure.

Nobody’s ever happy. Oh, humans.

We get the Domain terminals, but it is a bit less scavenger hunting than in Halo 3. Maybe someone weighed the concerns of the MP XP monger (growing and vocal subset) against the concerns of the campaign completionist and made an executive decision late in dev as the stuff was coming together?

Dunno, but giving them benefit of the doubt until I hear something otherwise.

Any easter eggy things in SOPs, I wonder?

That’s cute and all, but I was hoping for more, um, canonical stuff like more terminals or something else. I guess that’s not technically an easter egg then?

Wait, are the Domain terminals in Spartan Ops? I gotta go read those achievements again…

It is disappointing, but apparently the terminals will make up for that. I’m compete,y fine with that.
