I was with some other ppl and we were passing the controller round, it was on my turn when we got into that room - lights were down, sound was up and we were all pretty caned - and honest to god, i think i did a little poo.. after all that tension-building it was good

Oh and to the ppl who say things like 'Meh. I raped them' - I don't know which is sadder - affectations of nonchalance that you think will impress OR lacking the imagination to immerse yourself in a game like the rest of us. Trust believe.. every one of us who crapped ourselves a bit still shotgunned the living hell out of the flood :D

The Very first time playing halo on co-op campain with my cuzz we played through it and were not expecting it. Suddenly there hords of little heads which was our first impression of them came out. The first time meeting these things. It felt like the just kept comming and comming and that the ground was littered with them. but then playing it later on and over and over i as well as my cuzz relized that there were acually quite few of them. BUT MY FIRST TIME..... WAS AMAZING!!

Well I first played the game long after it came out and I heard many stories but that didn't take away the surprise. I saw it about a foot and a half away from a 42'' screen and heard it on a five speaker system, it was more like WHAT THE HE%^ IS THAT?!

My reaction to the flood was.......if that's all, this whole scary idea is pointless. I saw Jenkin's clip on 343 GS and I was thinking that there was a new enemy in town. It got to the part in the room and sarge was talking to the corporal up top and he was screaming, "WE GOT CONTACTS..LOTS OF 'EM....UGH...THEY'RE NOT..COVENANT..UGH...GAG...OH..NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

Then I fought the Flood against the little infections and i was all "o yeah bring it biznitch!!!" Then the combat forms came and i was all "Mother F**k!" The first one I saw was right in my face then i shot the living hell out of it with my shotgun and was assassinated by another combat form. I hate the Flood, especially the big fat ones that carry the infections that always blow up if you get too close to them. They really piss me off. What's really scary though of the covenant combat form is when they run really fast at you waving their arms back and forth.

Okay, this is sorta related to this forum, but this is HUGE NEWS ON HALO, I git this off RT forums This is not mine, but this is critical!!!!!! I needed a big thread to get this info moving.

***SPOILERS****

Okay, I posted this on HBO, and IGN.com, and I think it may bear mentioning here.

Okay, this has been bugging me for a good long time. There are 7 Halos, each with a 25,000 light-year range of effect. I did research, and as it turns out, our galaxy, the Milky Way is 100,000 light-years in diameter.

Well, I took some pictures of our galaxy, and opened up a brand spankin' new MS paint doc.

I took an overhead view of the galaxy, and divided it into four sections, each approximately 25,000 light-years in width, illustrated with blue stripes. I then looked up Halo's diameter, and range of its weapon effect. (10,000km diameter, 25,000 light-year range of effect). So, that said, four Halos could be lined up horrizantaly, each at an interval of roughly 25,000 lightyears, and span the entire galaxy with thier effective ranges.

So, I tried to figure out where the Halos would go in order to cover the entire galaxy. I ended up putting one 2 on the 1/4 line going vertically, 3 on the 1/2 line, going vertically, with one close to the galactic center. I put the other two close to the 3/4 line, also vertically.

When they were in place, I noticed that there was one tiny spot not covered by a blast radius. I also found that I couldn't move one of the radii into place over there without giving up a very large section of the galaxy.

I took a different overhead view, this one showed the names of the spiral arms of this galaxy, and the part not covered was a small portion of the Perseus arm. To be more specific, it did not cover Sol System.

Now, this is pretty amazing in my opinion. The one place a Halo's blast could not reach without giving up a different, larger portion of the galaxy happened to be Sol System. This isn't because I love humans, or I wanted it to be like that (trust me, I don't). It is eerily odd.

This gives some pretty nice proof (in my eyes) that Earth IS the Ark spoken of in Halo 2. In biblical stories, Noah, commisioned by God, was told to build an Ark, so many cubits x so many cubits x so many cubits. What the hell is a cubit anyway. Nevermind, I digriss.

So, this Ark was the only palce on Earth to be able to be saved by the 40 day and night torrential FLOOD God was about to bring. Noah was told to bring aboard 7 pairs of every ritually clean animal, and 1 pair of every "unclean" animal. (ritually clean animals were Doves, pigeons, oxen, sheep, and some others I can't remember), Noah's wife, sons, and his sons' wives.

So, once God FLOODED Earth, and the FLOOD was all gone, God made a COVENANT with Noah never to FLOOD the earth again. This is signified by a rainbow, the crappiest of miracles.

So, translating this from Bible to Halo, we get:
So-and-so (person-A) was instructed by so-and-so (person-B) to create an Ark that could survive the Flood once the Halos were activated. A place that would lie in a dead zone where none of the Halos' blasts could reach (Earth). So, Person A creates an Ark that could survive the Flood, and once the Flood is go (all life is destroyed), Person-A and several other Person-A like individuals (Forerunners) could emerge and re-populate the galaxy.

Now, approx. 100,000 years ago, the Halos were last activated. Also approx 100,000 years ago, -blam!--Sapiens take the high rung on the Food Chain. So, if Person-A comes to the Ark (earth) with the other Forerunners (possibly humans) that would explain why Humans were able to survive the last Halo activation.

So, it is in my conclusion, that the Forerunners are Humans, and the Ark is, or is on Earth.

Stop me if I'm rambling.


I thought that was kewl find man! w00t 9.7/10...w00t

When my friend 1st saw the flood, he was flipin out all over the place. when he saw the marines jump down he went to and i thought *his goose is cooked* (we were on ledgendary, he was covering my rear the whole time) he died and he didnt re apear for some reason when i was left alive, he went to the frige and got a sandwish. i just stared at him and finished finished the mission.

Moral: It's just not scary enough without a friend geting a sandwish out of the frigerator that you bit off.

"I came into the whole Halo thing late, so i kinda knew about them already. My reaction was more along the lines of "Oh. So that's what they look like. Huh." Followed by much shotgunning."

I also came into it late, but i wached my friend play halo 2 and he gave me the lowdown on the flood, I nearly crapped my pants at the part leading up to the flood, then when they came I'm like, Hey I remember you little buddy!

it's not really the flood that really creeped me out at first, It is more the blue covenant blood that randomly spread out all over the walls....
