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.
