Subject: Resurrected Topic: Brushes with Death

The War will wage forever; though with it's fury comes a peace that you will never know here.

This topic was posted before the current Bnet we have now, and due to all the new members we have flooding in, I'd be intrigued to hear any brushes with death that you've had while playing Halo.

Here's one:

I'm sure you're all familiar with the hallway in Two Betrayals in which two elites fight flood combat forms. To your (and my) dismay, after the flood are dead, another one, wielding a rocket launcher appears on the other side of the hallway.

My experience? The combat form fired a rocket at me. A blood-lusting elite jumped in the rocket's path, eager to kill me. Consequently, he died. I killed the flood with the launcher.

End Result: Me nearly ruining my pants with laughter. Few times have I seen an elite save my skin (although one gold/sword elite saved me the trouble of slaying his comrades. He was a tad busy fighting a flood, and his sword arc smacked his buddies too!).

Having said that, what are your experiences?

In that same situation I looked at the rocket (too shocked to move) and died.

Well this story takes place like a week ago and my friend and i were playing halo on co-op, as he was being (ummm how do i say this without offending anybody, oh yeah!) "retarded" (and by that i meen throwing grenades every where and shooting the marines) he threw a plasma grenade right on the ceiling above where he was running to, it hit the ceiling and fell right on top of his head, i turned to see him standing next to me with a glowing blob of light coming from his forehead, and at that instance a took a few steps to the left and ducked behind a barrel and watched his ass explode in a grand display of fire works. and the moral of this story is "Choose your freinds wisely"

Nothing like making friends on the battlefield.
