I should have mentioned this years ago when I first played Halo 3, but what is the point of that first skull at the very very beginning of the game. After you get introduced to light combat and you continue on to where a phantom drops several enemies towards this pool of water. After you kill that wave, go towards the right where you can basically fall off to the river, there is a skull there and it does completely nothing. I pick it up and does nothing? Anyone?

The skulls you collect in Halo 3 are added to a sub menu in the Halo 3 campaign lobby. There you can activate them. Each skull usually comes with some sort of debuff that makes the game more difficult to play. For example, the famine skull makes it to where weapons you pick up have less ammo than they usually would. All the skulls you collect in the game can alter the game except if I remember correctly there is an extra skull in the level Cortana that doesn't actually get added to your skull list. If I remember correctly this skull either does nothing or it makes the player start the next level with a spartan laser or some other weapon. Like I said, I'm not entirely certain, it's been a while.
