Subject: Something weird on the level Cortana.

Me and my friend were on the level Cortana, when I was killed. Now due to the nature of the level, I was just getting the message telling me that it wasn't safe to respawn, so I was waiting for ages because my freind was getting constantly attacked, but he didn't die. All of a sudden, my screen goes green and murky, and then I respawn. I was confused, and a few days later when I was readiing Halo: The Flood, what Wallace Jenkins described being infected was like seemed to match what happened to me, could I have been infected?

Woah, that is pretty weird! Maybe you did get infected.

Yeah, I was dead for AGES, about 15 min+

Sorry, it was like last year, and I thought that it was normal when I saw it. But i'm willing to try and replicate it.

It may not have been that, maybe your friend stepped into one of the Gravemind Moment places.

  • 08.28.2010 10:23 AM PDT

No, it was splitscreen and it was only on my half, but it was clearly not a gravemind moment, and anyway there was no gravemind voice.

Can't be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walking next to me.

I highly doubt this.

Agreed. If anything it could have been a glitch. Your dead bodies in Halo 3 won't get infected by the flood. If you notice when you do die, the infection forms just pass right over you.

I do not see what possible glitch would make my screen do that, but not my partners, I understand your doubt but I promise you it is true

Next time this happends, take a picture of it and share it with us. Because I know that you didn't take a screenshot of it (if you did then you should obviously post it). This is basically why no one really believes you. We need evidence.

Well as I said i'm willing to attempt to replicate this, but it has to be very specific, its hard to make someone stay dead for so long whilst the others stay alive.

  • 08.28.2010 12:16 PM PDT

Maybe it didn't happen, maybe I thought it did after I BUMPed my head.
