Make Bungie.net More Enjoyable: Read & Follow

This is something I've wondered for a while, but never got an answer.

All right - forget infection forms. That would be tough to count. In fact, we might have to forget Flood altogether because of the infinite respawn on Keyes. (or did someone prove that it wasn't infinite?)

Anyways, I'm more curious about Covenant numbers. Has anybody gone through on a certain difficulty and counted them all?

Thanks.

Grenades are like RAM, you can never have too much

there are a few chainspawning elites so its tecnicaly impossible to count but the best bet to get an average number would be to look at halo pc and just check the map files spawns but im lazy :P

What do you mean by 'chainspawning'? You could figure out the maximum number of AI spawned and take that... or just not count them if they are infinite until you do something. (perhaps like that part on Keyes)

My guesstimate is 467 without flood. Be interesting to see how close or far off I am. Perhaps I will play it through again and count them.

OP - Sorry for being infinitely nerdy...or...maybe that's perfectly in place here...But was watching the special edition DVD for H-3, and they (as in Staten & co) said the "Infinite Flood spawn" in Keyes wasn't actually infinite. Would be funny if someone could outlast it and post a video...

That would take a while. Also, on the Maw, when you are on your way to Engine room, when you're going through the hallway leading out of the technician's room for when they were working on opening your cryo pod there are infinite flood spawns there too.

That would be really hard to survive the one on Keys. However, on The Maw I have outlasted the flood respawn area many times. Its like 7ish minutes of constant fighting with only very breif respites inbetween waves.

This is what I was thinking of. Yes, someone has already done it.

Nice vid all the way around. Well done. Has really been so long, didn't even think about difficulty settings. Tricksters have a different MO. Thanks for the post.
