Holy crap...the music when the flood were first introduced was beyond creepy.

I remember playing that level co-op with a friend (the first day I played Halo); we played through the campaign from beginning to end, and that part of the game scared the crap out of us. We had no idea what was coming.

While Spark and Library are obvious choices, there was something vaguely ominous about Halo. It looked like Earth, yet you knew it wasn't; somehow threatening.
Actually, every level had its own creepy ambiance now that I think about it.

I don't see why the library is considered as scary as it is. It's like Halo 2 and 3, it's got a lot of flood, but it's lacking in ambience and darkness.

I went with 343 guilty spark but it seems everyone else did too.

I always offer fair game and usually allow some "extermination" of my teammates. I think that anyone should be able to play Halo or any other game they please.

How is T&R scary? You just fight Covenant.

Halo 2 and 3 just plain failed with the flood. Sure, they're a somewhat creepy, and they're everywhere, bute Halo 1 is the only game that had a true horror feeling to it.


Yeah i mean Halo 3 when you first see the flood its like"Wow that isnt scary at all the little infection forms look like shrimp" but in halo when you met them for the first time ever its like"OMG what was that noise,I just saw a shadow" then you turn around and some thing jumps at you. I mean ive played Halo 3 completely but when you first meet the flood on Halo 1
i always turn it off.

That video scene in 343 was really pulled off well. Hey, did anyone notice that the dead marine that was proped up against the door disappered after the video?

That's the point; nobody knew about the Flood, and so everyone was scared! And yes, unlike Halos 2 & 3, the intense music really adds to the atmosphere of the game.

When I played 343 for the first time I was like 11-12 years old, it was 1 Am. I seriously didn't touch my Xbox for a week and didn't play that level for like 2 months so I could only play the levels before 343. It was quite a scary level.

Edit: When you think about it you can see how bungie planned the floods entrance in the game. 343 is supposed to make you fear the flood, the library is to make you hate them, two betrayals and keyes are two make you awe them for just being able to jump out of the shadow and completely overthrow the mighty covenant and the maw for getting your revenge on them.

Halo. All that grass, all those trees, and all that water, it sent shivers up my spine.

  • 05.05.2008 11:14 AM PDT

343 Guilty Spark. God, the first time I played that, I damn near wet my pants.

I was alone at 2:00 AM in the house.

  • 05.06.2008 6:38 PM PDT

343. the library was tense, but the presence of 343 guilty spark in that level was annoying and bought down the feel of scary, whereas in the level of that name you wnet through half a level that was minus any enemies besides a few grunts running scared and some particulary bloody corpses. then we are attacked by flesh-eating ballons, and then zombies. scary stuff, especially seeing as i was like 13 at the time. hell it still makes me jump a bit when i watch the cutscene.

How is T&R scary? You just fight Covenant.


I don't know man. That floating sword was preeety terrifying the first time I saw it.

Though I have to admit 343 was definately scary for me. Just going through the level it becomes more and more like a .....oh geez what the hell. what the hell?. -see the jackal in the hallway with blood everywhere- WHAT THE HELL?!?! And of course....the video. Then of course fighting the infection forms themselves. They were pretty easy once you learn how easy it was to kill them making you think that marines were really bad shots. Then....the combat forms came to scare the bejezzus out of you. From that point I was like "game over man Game Over". And I didn't play it till I had a friend over for co-op.

343 Guilty Spark scared me the most. The atmosphere in that level especially is just awesome... My favourite bit of that level is at the start, when you get dropped of by echo 419, and you wander up to the abandoned pelican, and it's pouring with rain, and you hear scrambled radio messages. That bit made me feel.... Genuinely freaked out

343 Guilt Spark. When I saw the flood, I started to shiver.
And the start of it just seems like the setting of a scary movie.

  • 05.09.2008 4:30 AM PDT

343 guilty spark, u know there is an easter egg where u can see the flood before u go inside. When u go across the log look up at the hill, u can see them running away.

343GS because of the flood.
Bioshock is by far the creepiest game I EVER played
