I might be alone here, but, I loved the Library. Was like a completely different game unto itself. The overkill was almost sadistically comical. Wouldn't place it & Spark up there with T&R or TB, but, they made a great change from the established pattern.

I agree.

The Flood levels in Halo: CE gave the player cause to pause and think. Everything was quiet, then suddenly, you would be mobbed. The ambient sounds added to the atmosphere, and the Flood made really creepy sounds. It wasn't done quite as well after that, though some of the Flood-infested areas in Halo 2 had the atmosphere. It's just that eternally-respawning enemies never gave you the opportunity to stop and observe it.

i so agree. the library was, for me, the apex of the Halo experience. it really showed the true story behind the story.

I myself liked the first flood level because it was creepy and you didn't know what the covenent were running from and that helmet video amped up the suspense

I defy anyone to come up with a better cutscene sequence. Might sound stupid, but, I literally felt dread when the words, "The Flood" came onscreen for the first time. While Arbiter was a bigger shock, the Flood intro was just golden.
