So you like the flood i see. I dont think they should be in it at all. Theyre campaign levels arent as fun.
No way!!
The flood are not only utterly central to everything that is Halo, but they are incredible fun in the game!!!
I mean, I WILL NEVER forget that moment in the first game when you first encounter the flood. Outstanding, really just outstanding. As that feed played back from Jenkins video-recording I was actually starting to feel the dread creep into me... I really FELT that sense of "oh..no...something terrible is going to happen to me very, very soon"
When it's finished and those doors start banging before they burst open with a tidal wave of freaks!!! WOW!! Just WOW!!!
Let me tell you, my bowels loosened at that point.
I was running around firing at everything... they just kept coming. All I heard in my head was "Game over man!! It's GAME OVER!!!" (I was Hudson in Aliens.... and I was knee deep in an alien -blam!-storm"
Beautiful.
Then in Halo 2, the music goes all weird and there they are again. Those God-awful freaks. Intergalatic rejects. I hate em.....I hate em so much I want to shoot them...alot...in their face. Yes... because they are ugly and sinister and make me feel ill.
Anyway... the game's atmosphere is superbly enhanced by the addition of levels inhabited by the flood freaks. That's not to even mention their central purpose in the awesome Halo story. The one which will finish next year...
Oh yes.
