I've had a very peculiar experience in the Maw. I was playing the level about an hour ago when it happened. In the engineering chamber, I was running along the top of one of the exhaust-vents as I usually do. I had already destroyed the reactor vent and was about to jump up on the platform to take down the last one when a zombie shot at me. I took a shot at it and ducked down, only to find that I had landed on the edge of the inside of the moving exhaust-vent! Before I could turn and get out, it closed and the reactor vent opened again, causing my health to go down with all the heat. With no visible way out, I turned and crawled as fast as I could to the end of the exhaust-vent and found myself falling through a dark wind chamber, where it saved, placing me in a loop of me falling and dying.

Fortunately, I had exited to the main menu before that, so all I had to do was turn my xbox off and on and load the level again so I wouldn't have to start all over.

Has anyone else had this experience?

It sounds like you made it inside the Vent Core.

If someone can call a warthog a puma then why can't I call a combat form a zombie? They're dead things, thus I call them zombies, and as far as I'm concerned, that's completely beside the point. :P

Anyway, to quickly sum up my experience, I just got caught in a very unpleasant position in one of the reactor core's vents. Lol.

I hate endless loops of death.

p.s. please, never NEVER say lol after things you wrote. lol is meant for when someone else says something funny. saying it after you say something just sounds like you are laughing at the things you wrote, which is kinda dorky.

p.s. The flood are kinda zombies

There's nothing wrong with laughing at yourself. It was one of those "Haha, I killed myself," experiences.

You've officially killed this thread. :(

*Sighs.*

Did you get the looping death as well? That was aggravating, especially since you could hardly tell where you were falling in the first place.

The flood infection that takes over the host and doesnt really make it a zombie.The brain of the host is still thinking,but can barely control its body functions(Prt.Jenkins)The host brain dies as Masterchief blows it up by a shotgun.Read the novel.

Yeah I once got a death loop on Halo (level 2).

Coming out into 'Reunion Tour' subtitle I was getting bored and decided to turn left and burn as fast as I could to the edge of the cliff in the Warthog and stop before falling off. It caught my attention that a 'checkpoint ..done' came up which distracted me for the second where I could actually have saved my doomed hide. Everytime I 'revert to saved' I was going too fast and was too close to the cliff to stop myself.
