I hate bungie for putting the armor out like that. Now the recon is going to be the next hayabusa and I agree now so many noobs are going to have the katanas. Hopefully bungie will put out a new armor like all the armors put together or something.
There is no way they could hide a skull in any halo map and release it knowing that not alot of people will find it. As soon as one youtube video, or one person finds it then it becomes easy for everyone else. There is no way they can make it hard to find unless they put it in campaign. Your talking about the internet people...
Sure they can. First thing they have to do: Don't tell any employees who had nothing to do with it. For some reason everything gets LEAKED. 2nd-Make it hard for anyone. 3rd-Make it only found in MM.
That would TOTALLY ruin matchmaking games for those who had the skull. Me, I'm thinking treasure hunt. As in, there is a really obvious clue, so for orbital, it would be, 'visit the pit of no return, but do not look down in fear, look up in expectation'. Then, instead of a skull, they would find a harder clue. The final clue would have forums alight with what the riddle meant. The clues could even cross maps, even include old maps (like the writing on the wall in Valhalla during the Valentine's Day playlist, only spookier). That would be exciting. They could have insult messges if they visit the wrong place... The possibilities are endless!
I'm hoping that the ODST Vidmaster achievements are more like the Annual achievement, challenging but not impossible. Considering that they are called achievements I think that you should have to achieve something.
