I was playing this level (343 Guilty Spark) in the middle of the night. Everyone else was asleep, the light in the other room was flickering because the bulb was not screwed in tight enough, and that creepy music that plays when you get to the part where you have to retreat was playing. I was new at Halo back then, so I was not sure where to go. After wandering around aimlessly for 10 or 15 minutes, I finally figured out where to go. Suddenly, a flood combat form jumped out of a dark corner in the wall and lunged at me. I got so scared that I jumped 2 feet off the couch and almost crapped my pants. Luckily, I was holding a shotgun, and my reflexes caused me to pull the trigger. The reticle happened to be pointed directly in the combat form's gut, and I killed him. Eventually, I completed the level.
