 Halo 2 - TrustedReviews
For me, Halo was such a big draw that when the Xbox launched in the US in late 2001, I flew over to New York to pick up a console, because I didn’t want to wait for the UK launch in mid 2002 before I could play Halo.
Halo created a believable gaming scenario that made you feel as if you were truly interacting with the game in a way that I hadn’t experienced since playing Half-Life for the first time.
However, I then reminded myself that I was playing Half-Life 2 on a graphics card that retails for close to £400 (not to mention the cost of the rest of the PC), while Halo 2 was being played on a three year old video game console that costs £99.

 Halo 2 Skulls - Halopedia - Halo Wiki with Halo 3 Walkthroughs, Weapons, and more!
A Skull in Halo 2 is an easter egg left in by Bungie to make the game more challenging or interesting, or to unlock potentials that would otherwise remain hidden.
There are some discussions saying that activating all skulls will unlock a secret movie at the end like Halo: Combat Evolved (when you complete the last level on Legendary) or bring out more secret-revealing dialogue in the cut scenes.
People curious about these unlocks have found a 15-letter code on the Halo 2 Soundtrack and thought this code was a specific order these skulls needed to be activated to unlock the secrets.
