I was watching a video of the flood on video and saw something weird..

A human getting infected,but it wasn't Halo 3 or any other Halo game.

Can someone explain me what it is??

It's at 00:00:37


Who knows it's a marine from a possible CE remake...please tell me i'm not wrong.

Possibly a test animation from the Halo 2 era, or maybe a pre-rendered video. The quality of the animation is on par with the ODST video released with the Multiplayer Map Pack Disc back in 05.

Good spot :)

Am I supposed to write something funny here?

Yep, looks like Halo 2.

Looks like H2.

Character design matches the H2 Marines. Same goes for the texture quality on the walls etc.
Animation is more on a H3 level however, so thats a bit curious to see.

I'm guessing this was a test animation to have dead bodies turn into Flood in real time. H2 never really had that, but H3 did (H3 showed Flood consuming bodies all the time), so I guess this feature was cut from H2 and later implemented in H3.

It's comparable to the global battle video - ideas for H3 tested in the H2 engine.
