"The Silent Cartographer," one of the most iconic Halo missions of all time, has three skulls and one terminal to seek out in Halo Campaign Evolved. This is the mission where Master Chief is in search of the map for the entirety of the halo, after successfully rescuing Captain Keyes in "Truth and Reconciliation," but getting his hands on it is easier said than done. It's also one of the best looking levels in the remake, with an absolutely stunning beach encircling the island.

There are three skulls and one terminal to find in "Halo," the second mission in Halo: Campaign Evolved, and one of them especially is in a very tricky place to reach. This mission sees Master Chief crash-land on the titular halo after evacuating the Pillar of Autumn in a lifeboat, although when you touch down on the surface, he's the only survivor inside his raft.
