First of all, i consider Guilty Spark to be the greatest level on Halo, but only once or twice around.

Second, i have a question: What the HELL is that kooky little device we find, after watching Private Jenkins' mission log and fighting the first wave of Flood Infection Forms, in the long, small room immediately after we exit the room Keyes and the Sarge's men we overtaken. Maybe a bit after that.

Either way, we enter a small hallway with a long device taking up the center. it seems almost cylindrical, almost a tube; with crazy electric bolts and beams zipping up and down it.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!!!

and it's REALLY cheap how they give you a shotgun right off the bat in Easy by the downed pelican. AND it's cool seeing those scurrying combat forms up on the cliff after dispatching the Jackal on the downed tree / tree roots. AND blowing off a Covie Combat form's tentacled arm and keeping it as a pet. I get to name them all, too!!! Like Zepherniti, Clemintine, Loretta, and Bob. Aw, -blam!-! i forgot Jedidiah!

GS is SUCH a creepy level. It was voted the scariest or most shocking moment a while back in some magazine, but it actually got ruined for me before i could play through the level. I still get the chills watching and playing through it, though.

Thoughts on the machine thingy?

Maybe it's just Forerunner crap we don't know about.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Yeah, its Forerunner crap we don't know about. Perhaps its shock-treatment tests for the Flood, since that particular facility housed the Flood... not too far off that tests were done there as well. Just an interesting feature I found out: The electricity doesn't freeze when you pause the game. Not anything significant, but its pretty cool.

And with the "shotgun off the bat," play the level on legendary.... not so cheap. Its not there. Same goes with heroic (and, I think, normal... could be wrong about normal, though).

And there's only one monitor. If you see two, its because 343 was probably in right spot when the game transitioned into the cutscene, which would show 2 of them at the same time... its pretty much random, it doesn't happen all the time... not on my copy, anyhow... But, I could be wrong... maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough... But 343 says, "I am the monitor of installation 04," Not a monitor, so I think its just a glitch-type thingy.

Stalking Puma said that he and his brother actually blew up one of those things, gernading and shooting it. Never tried it though, waste of ammo, but if you're bored...

A monitor or a sentinel?
