343 is a very well made level. the designers, although copying some rooms, should be congratulated. the eerie "hovering uuuuuuuuummumuuummm and monster and trickling" sounds are so good they make you forget about rooms looking the same as the last. on the escaping part of the mission i did get lost once or twice but just follow the blood on the walls to escape. great map. the trickling stuff was good, and the marine is great. my friends always shoot the marine but i dont. as you go deeper to the facility these things make you feel a little more "nervous"...
1) creepy jungle surroundings... rains on campaign mode!
2) the radio distress calls in the jungle are great, and the covie dropship engine sounds gd!
3) you can clearly see Keyes and the marines with Johnson and all are ahead of you as they are fighting into the facility when you arrive.
3) the lift down and the shafts are huge. the facility looks/sounds imtimidating. this shows just HOW important part of a game AUDIO is.
4) the blood, drips and marine, and the flaming ledges. you wonder what caused it.
5)the movie before the door, the sound behind MC. MC actually acts scared and quickly.
6) some rooms on the way down to the flood area are empty. a bit too quiet.
honestly, although the easiest mission excluding the P-O-A. i love playing it
Actually, That gunfire at the first is the flood. If you go across tha big tree with your pistol on zoom, you will see a figure run up beside the Covenant gun. That figure is a big flood form. I have watched that segment time and time again and that figure moves too fast to be human. It is still too fast for an elite. The larger flood forms are the only ones with that kind of speed. Plus, the Covenant don't run from humans. They only fear the flood. Also, Foe Hammer lost contact with Keys dropship 12 hours ago, meaning that could not be a bunch of marines, unless it was them in their INFECTED FORM!
