Tips?
In many areas, Halo 1 rewards intelligent aggression. For example, in "Into the Belly of the Beast," the longer you can stay out in the open and sticky the crap out of the zealots without neglecting the little guys, the smoother life will go.
A more overlooked one is The Library. It's actually not a very hard level. UNLESS you're overly cautious. Those flood know the ins and outs of the facility, they're smart, and if you hang back around some of their entry points, they very well may opt to drop endless waves of themselves into your face. The best way to get by a corridor that flood are dropping into is frequently to charge guns blazing.
This isn't to say that idiotic aggression is useful; you very well may want to mix things up in such a hallway from "safety" if it looks too hairy at the time, but don't be afraid to take the plunge when you need to, else you may very well wind up being slowly worn down by endless waves of zombies with weird tentacles.
Speaking of being worn down, as much as you want to conserve ammo, DON'T BE AFRAID TO SHOOT THE POPCORN FLOOD if you absolutely need to! They're often overlooked into Halo 1 because they don't do much damage to shields. But, they keep your shields from recharging. On The Library, in the midst of endless flood, "keeping your shields from recharging" is synonymous with "OH ^&%*& YOU'RE DEAD!"
So basically, play The Library with intelligent aggression and respect the brilliant of your flood enemies.
If you play it like a pansy, The Library is awful. Otherwise, it's great fun.
