i remember seeing a vid of a guy playing the library on legendary and when he had to wait for 343 to open the doors he stood somewhere and the flood never spawned and attacked him. does anyone know where this is located plzzz?

I believe I know where it is. There are two places like it actually. On the second door, where 343 Guilty Spark leaves you alone while he goes to override the system, there's a narrow pathway near the door to the right. This also shows up on the third door, where there is a hiding place just like the second one. I usually hide there on Legendary to avoid the Flood, but then my trigger finger gets a little itchy (heh heh). Well, I hope this has been accuarate, and good luck following these directions. If you still can't find it, don't hesitate to reply and I'll locate the spot again and give you more fluid directions.

I prefer mowing faces with the AR. More fun. Sure standing by is easier but its just like standbying on XBL. Sure you get through faster but are you really having fun?

I got to watch the vid again and found it. Man that place is too cool, yet I don't remember if I tried it yet or not, Ive been practicing unlocking the Meg and have gotten pretty good at it heheh. I remember hearing in the Halo 2 stragety guid from Bungie (yes, I have it. It was a christmas present after I already beat the game several times) says that if you have to hide, do it! Itll save ur ass. So if it comes from Bungie, do it! lol

You should try going all out on that level. It's tough, but it's a real rush. Real flashy too. Heh Heh. Remember. They may out number us, but they still don't stand a chance.

I wouldn't consider it cowardly. More like, being smart. Survival is key on that level.

I love unloading my shutgun into 10-12 flood combat forms, then pulling out my pistol to take care of the damn carrier forms. Beating them down is also fun.
