[Halo 2] [PUZZLE] Halo 2 skulls

So in Halo 2 there are some skulls laying around that give you special powers, and are each associated to a word/phrase. The first letter in each phrase found thus far seem to be a right on match to an acronym found on the Halo 2 soundtrack case. There's another acronym on the Halo case that is still unsolved.

So everyone's excited about the Skulls. When you play on legendary you can find these Skulls, when you hold them they give you some seriously weird powers. Not all skulls have been discovered (seeing how hard legendary is) but enough have been discovered to make an interesting point.

As most of you know, the Halo 2 soundtrack has an acronym on the case: EGATFIBGBCSIMAW
just like Halo 2 (JNAMSFTFY: Unslolved) and the Myth acronym (waccsmd: warcraft and command and conquor suck my di©k) and the Marathon Acronym (DMUKYA: don't make us kick your å$$)

The letters in the puzzel follow the skulls found perfectly, look:

Envy
Ghost
Anger
Thunderstorm
Famine
Infinite
Blind
Grunt Birthday Party
Black Eye
Catch
Sputnik
Iron
Mystic
Assassins
W...

all that's left is the W skull. It's interesting that the last letter in the puzzle still hasen't been found, it could be someplace really secret, or maybe in a multiplayer map (doughtful), however, this evidence is undiniable.

I believe that if the skulls are found in order (as listed above) something will be unlocked, talk has gone around about a "Mythic" difficulty, this is what I place my bets on.

P.S: Max Hoberman, bunjie multiplayer lead is quoted saying:
"The 15-letter one is a clue to a puzzle of sorts" (15-Letter one being EGATFIBGBCSIMAW

That's not entirely accurate, a few skulls dont exist others do. Here's the best resource which itself is part of a sub forum dedictated to the skulls with video proof

Can the Skulls be grabbed on co-op? Because one of the guys who writes his tips on how to do it act as though you're supposed to.

The skulls found so far are supposedly these:

Envy
Grunt Birthday Party
Assasin
Thunderstorm
Famine
I Would Have Been Your Daddy
Blind
Ghost
Black Eye
Catch
Sputnik
Iron
Mythic
Anger
Wordless (Armoury skull)

The last one is called such because no words appear when you get it. This is what the people at High Impact Halo have come up with so far.

My memory's a bit fuzzy on this, so excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't "I Would Have Been Your Daddy" one of the section titles from Halo? None of the other skull names look familiar.

The "I Would Have Been Your Daddy" skulls' effects are unknown at this point - it IS known that after getting it, you are placed back on the ground with a plasma pistol while Spec Ops Elites spawn in front of you. The screen doesn't flash "I Would Have Been Your Daddy" until you kill all the Elites...in the level of Halo, wasn't it the first appearance of Spec Ops Elites?

Yep. It's the first part of Assault on the Control Room.

Not sure. What I am sure of is that there's no way I'm going to try to get the IWHBYD skull for a while, because right now there's no way I'd survive that onslaught. It's MADNESS.

 Skulls
my thoughts

Well heres a hint to getting skulls and well plainly doing legendary on master chief im not saying it all but i will say it has somthing to do with the Envy skull theres a bug that goes with it. Now i have at this moment all but the ghost skull on separate accounts gonna go get ghost after this, and that list from Motoss is pretty accurate just note the G on Grunts, and Ghost, B on blind and black eye, I on Iron and IWHBYD, and theA on Assassin and Anger a rought estimate without doing any calculations cause im to lazy and my windows calculator is bugged so it shows 1+1=5 anyhow back to halo that leavse the possible combinations around 40 to 50 BUT id suggest using them in the order that they are gotten in the game if that don't work well then get a pen and start scratching all 60 or so combinations OH yea and before i forget ill know the answer to if that list is correct or not in say 2 hours but i wont be posting it here unless someone replys to this anyway off to get teh ghost skull saved OH yea side note to make a skull save character dont do the game from start to finish plug in a second controller set it on carpet not table, glass or hardwood OR u can just turn off vibration for that controller lolz, instead Co-op the last level on easy with a accout which u have already done all that on u must complete the level BUT its a hell of alot easier then going through the whole game 15 times also i suggest stealing a ghost and simply ramming through every part of the level. <<not the only period in this entire post LOLZ*
