Skull

The crest of the hidden skull on this level appears to be the Covenant Mark of Shame. Judging by this, as well as by the name, it seems that the level will be set in a Covenant Separatist environment.

Achievements

On Heretic, there are two achievments available to get. The first being the hidden skull which will award you 25 Gamerscore and the second being Blades of Fury - Get a Sword Spree on Heretic (Ranked or Social) will also award you 25 Gamerscore.
