What were you thinking in 343 Guilty Spark before you encountered the flood?

I was really getting freaked out, the elites were dead, the covenant was far from organized, and the hall with all the blood, the freaked out marine etc.

The music was making me quite cold and flaky. And then I probably made a Star Wars reference which made me laugh half-heartedly only to return to the fear.

I was thinking, "All this AND zombies. I love this game."

  • 11.23.2007 7:54 PM PDT

I knew what the Flood were looong before I played 343 Guilty Spark. I don't remember what I thought of them before I knew what they were.

I thought to myself as my dad and I were hiding on the top ledge of the room with no ammo, "... Well aint this just peachy!" If you've watch Tremors 2, when they were stuck on the top of the building just looking down at the shreikers- Burt out of ammo... you'd have a good depiction. God I love that line.

  • 11.29.2007 2:39 PM PDT

WAT is this i dont even

i stopped playing becuase it was one and the morning and it scared the piss outta me.

P.S. i was 10

  • 12.03.2007 10:11 PM PDT

oh god this feels so good. i have not talked about h1 for a LONG time. i actually decided to play it again to day... knew it SO well, did the whole game in about an hour and a half. but yeah, thinking back all those years ago... ok, first we start with cortanas words on the previous level "theres no time, get out of here, find keyes, stop him. Before its too late!" i was like "ok, maybe hes walking right into a covenant ambush (the words about something buried didnt get to me then). the start of the next level, the words "well enough alone" i was like "hmmm...." watching all the grunts and jackals running away from something. the swamp setting, and the strange dots on my radar were making me feel suspicious. so then i play the level, until i get to the assault rifle fire. the grunts running from it. my first thought "marines?", then "nah, they arent that good, plus the convenient explosion that makes it impossible to see who fires (me and my friend actually took an alternative route and found out thats its actually floating assault rifles). then the lift came up all by itself. just a hint of butterflies in my stomach... walking on, hall way with a HELL of a lot of blood. "WTF?" was my thought. by then the butterflies had come up and were holding steady. went on.. ok, we come o the marine. i actually screamed when i saw him and ran behind him. after my conscious mind had gotten back control, i recgonized the voice as a marine voice. the words "stay back, stay back, youre not turning m into one of those things!" actually mde me really scared. by the way i was like 10 when i first played this. ok after killing the marine and putting him out of his misery, i went on. fast forward a bit... ah, the final cutscene before the apearance of the flood. i was genuinely scared at this point, and watched, heard the strange sounds etc. saw the video, was like omg im gonna die. after easily dispatching the popcorn dudes.. the door opened and the music started and combat forms came through. my subconscious took over and i ran around in circles firing wildly. after i killed all them, i saved, turned off halo and never played it until i worked up the courage again a week later. good times good times, after that my addiction to halo began.

I had reached that level at 3 am....and I remember being on edge....I had the trigger held down, throwing my AR in every direction....it was a great surprise...and its probably what made Halo CE so great....

I found it scary in the swamp when my radar went yellow dots all around me. I actually saw a Flood running the first I played the level, but I thought is was just some kind of monster and started to freak out.
...
Looking inside the little room with Covenant dead and blood all over the place was...scary
...
When I saw the recording, I was like, "OMG! There's a lot of them!!!"
...
Then here came the music and the combat forms!!!

It was pretty creepy at the time i never played legandary and all the elites dead were creepy it would take me a while to kill all the elites. i mean the crazy marine and private Jenkins video record thing that was wierd.

I was seven when I played this level for the first time. I had stayed up all night playing. It was rather late (or at least for a seven year old) at ten, and I had just gotten to this level. Being seven, not much had sunk into my brain, and I wasn't as scared as I should have been. I got lost and it took me like a half hour to get to the "weapons cache" though, and by then the recording set to infinite loop had me trembling. I can't recall what exactly I was thinking as I progressed through the building, but I shot Bisenti (I think that's who the Marine is) without a second glance after he hit me, and kept going. I was surprised by all the carnage, and I was quite jumpy, but I hadn't hit terrified yet. I nearly screamed when Kappus's body fell on me, and I was quaking with fear when I saw the video of Jenkins. Then the Flood burst in and all hell broke loose. At first, I was thinking it wasn't that bad. Then the combat forms came in. I had had enough. I BOLTED through the level, terrified. I killed half the Marine survivors before realizing they were on my side.... and they were very angry with me, for some strange reason, when I stopped firing. It wasn't until later I realized they only turned on me because I shot half their guys dead. After dispatching the last Marine, I bolted through the swamp. When I finished the level, I turned off my Xbox and didn't touch Halo for over a month; I had many nightmares, and I was simply terrified of the Flood - Guilty Spark was my least favorite level, and for years I would always look over my shoulder and lay in bed stiff with fear as I heard "noises" in the middle of the night. It was around the time Halo 2 came out my fears died down, but I would never play past Assault on the Control Room whenever I played Halo 1. Now I realize exactly what a goldmine Guilty Spark is, and how it is the best level in Halo, possibly any video game, and I play it a lot, now on Heroic and Legendary rather than Easy. I love it. And I don't wake up in a cold sweat expecting to be devoured by the Flood in the middle of the night anymore, either.

*dies*

During the Pvt. Jenkins clip, I was thinking: those marines are idiots! Then I went in the room & totally freaked out.

After a few hundred kills, I got used to flood & finished the level.

The library was so scary though. That guilty spark is a retard. He jsut left me there to get ganged on.....a lot...

There are somethings that just can't be explained no matter how you slice it. Learn to live with it.

I didn't know that running further into the level was actually better than staying back and taking them on one at a time.

I died so many times.
