"Shall we let the Flood consume our holy city? Turn High Charity into another of their wretched hives? No enemy has ever withstood our might. The Flood, too, shall fail."

-Prophet of Truth.

To those who haven't played CE ten years ago, how did you feel about CEA? Did you like it more than the other Halos, or could it have been better? IMO the repetition could have been a bit less, but I noticed on my playthrough that THE flood actually play like A flood. When I say this I mean that dozens of them come rushing at you at once, making it very hard. (A popular example is on Keyes, where you don't jump off the ship in the beginning). Halo 2 and 3 felt more like tactical small squad flood. I prefer the dozens at a time :)

I also liked the bigger maps and more larger scaled battles, and non-linear design.

Oh, and Wort Wort Wort!

I did not play it 10 years ago, however, I did play it in 05. PC included. Although this is my first time really getting a feel for the Halo 1 Campaign and it was quite enjoyable I must say!

Flood in H3 levels just weren't overwhelming. The fact that you could run or skip past them in Floodgate, Halo, The Covenant, and some parts of Cortana.... It's hideous.

It should have been like this, only more harder to kill them by meleeing and with no hammer or sword.

Rarely do I see Hunters being killed by the Flood. But on The Covenant, if you:

1. stop Arbiter from spawning by not destroying the left AA Wraith
2. spawn the 3 Elites by destroying the right AA Wraith then kill them at the glass window before the Hunters
3. go up elevator without killing anyone and when you come down, kill all the Brutes
4. get the Carrier Forms and 4-5 combat forms outside to walk in then blow up the Carriers without losing Flood in the process

You can get like 20 Flood combat forms vs. Hunters. I've seen Hunters get sent up into the air by Flood combat forms. It's an amazing sight to behold. Of course, this only works on Easy. On higher difficulties, Hunters always win.

Agreed, it should have been like it was in the video, it would have been much more funner and less stale. Good find btw.
