My favorite part was the starting cutscene where it looks like its just 1 door away and your like great you brought me on a long winded tour on purpose Guilty Spark ...

[@ReddwarfIV]

@@whatthepick It is one door away. The problem is it's floating in mid-air and Guilty Spark apparently can't send the lift down without you on it.

[@HellbirdIV]

@@ReddwarfIV It is basically a safety feature. 343 Guilty Spark can't get the Index on his own, he needs a Forerunner (or Reclaimer) with him to access it. This is to stop Guilty Spark and other Monitors from just firing the Halo array whenever they want, which obviously the Forerunners didn't want. Moreover, he can't simply teleport a Forerunner or Reclaimer to the Index to access it. By making them walk through the Library they are clearly showing they understand what they are doing and are making the conscious decision to allow the firing of the Halo array... except there's 2 problems for us, the Player. Firstly, Chief is wearing human-made power armour, which 343 Guilty Spark rates as just a Class 2 "combat skin" - while during the Forerunner-Flood War, even a civilian Forerunner would be expected to wear a Class 8 skin or higher in any dangerous area, with Class 12 for Forerunner warriors. So basically, by Forerunner standards, Master Chief is fighting the Flood wearing nothing but his underwear and a paintball gun. Secondly, of course, is the fact that Chief has no idea what's going on and Spark doesn't think to tell him, because Spark just assumes he knows the Halo array is gonna nuke the galaxy.

[@DJB3lfry]

The collective looks of horror when Spark says "The first of 10" were magnificent. I think everyone who played Halo CE made that face at the exact same time. And the worst part is, you kind of think "No... Surely they wouldn't really make it that long..." But oh yes, they do.

[@SamsarasArt]

Thankfully there aren't 10 doors in total. The "portals" also include the elevators. But yeah this level is still way too long.

[@HellbirdIV]

@@SamsarasArt Actually there are! I went through recently and counted them, and there are exactly 10 doors like the one he calls a "portal" that you have to get past before you reach the Index. However, fortunately, I think only 3 or 4 of them make you wait, while the others either open for you quickly or have access tunnels that you use to go underneath them, which makes the mission much less tedious than if you had to wait for Spark to open all 10 doors.

@@duddude321 sorry but what do you mean?

[@duddude321]

@@joestar3335 the Flood were only recently set free at the time. Before Chief was selected the amount of Flood in the Library probably wasn't as great. At the time the Flood were still in the feral stage and focused on spreading out and adding bodies so it would have no reason to prioritize disabling Halo by taking/destroying its firing index meaning that the Flood we see there are just the horde looking for meat (little to none present) and space to spread. Marvin's body was too destroyed for the Flood to use and thus any knowledge of activating Halo's "defenses" wouldn't have fallen into the Flood's tentacles to be communicated as a major threat either. The Sentinels are of intermittent effectiveness as security suggesting limited numbers (otherwise the Library protecting a critically important component of the Halo would be swarming with them instead of Flood). Meanwhile the Flood is simply spreading and growing faster and faster as time goes. Therefore we can conclude that Marvin likely had more Sentinel support and less Flood to fight at the time, but by the time Chief got there less Sentinels were available (either diverted to fighting outbreaks throughout Halo or destroyed) and more Flood had moved into the area.

[@sorrenblitz805]

@@duddude321 well the outbreak was caused during the campaign on Installation 04, the Covenant released it, so it was in the earliest of the feral stage Captain Keyes' death was this installation's infestation's attempt at creating a gravemind.

Something great about the flood is that they force youto play aggressively but you must vary your movement and attack constantly to preserve ammo and not be overwhelmed by the group or by their heavy guns. Covenant and many other enemy in other games allow the player much more of a singular focus and time to cover and restrategise

[@notalive5479]

Flood and Covenant are complete opposites in that regard. The Covenant have high accuracy and high damage output with their weapons, but are not particularly aggressive, encouraging the player to use cover and fight smart. The Flood, on the other hand, aren't accurate and don't even fire that fast, but are overly aggressive and come in large swarms, encouraging the player to just gun them down as quickly as possible, focusing on positioning yourself where you can kill them most efficiently instead of using cover. Even if the Library was never intended to be the way it was and only happened because the original design was too ambitious, at the very least it does a great job of forcing the player to learn how to fight the Flood.

While Anniversary graphics are overall an improvement, there are some parts where it doesn't work, usually because it is brighter compared to the CE graphic. For example, the second elevator in the 343 Guilty Spark level. In CE it worked because the walls were pitch dark so you could easily see the Covenant bloodstains all over them, and combined with the ever-infamous Flood theme, it was effective in creating a horror atmosphere. With the Anniversary, the walls have become a bit too bright and blue, reducing the visibility of blood.

22:09 This is why halo CE is the best game to get non-gamers into a FPS. The game had the tutorial integrated into the game itself and now that i'm old i actually understand what parts of each mission forced you to learn certain skills without you noticing. Pillar of autumn teachs basic movement in games in a way modern games neglect now.

[@Kagura259]

the real lesson on the Library. USE YOUR FUCKING RADAR. XD so often the area you JUST CLEARED and passed, starts spawning some flood again.

20:40 I love to call that part the "dancing floor", because that's basically what you're doing. While you run you shoot, jump, throw grenades, reload, switch weapon, Melee, jump on top of combat forms, jump onto the columns, heal if necessary, pick weapon if necessary, fire some shells form shotgun, reload, fire a couple more, reload, another shell, reload and so on,.. all in a small area for like a minute nonstop.

[@bahlalthewatcher4790]

That room might be the perfect distillation of Halo’s 30 seconds of fun as applied to fighting the flood. This is one of Griesemer’s levels after all.

I've watched numerous players struggle through this level, and I can't believe none of them figured out that you can alleviate a lot of the overwhelming odds by jumping up on the buttresses. It doesn't _stop_ the flood, but a lot of the time, it keeps them from coming at you all at once. I have yet to see any player use that in a video.

[@sorrenblitz805]

Ok, so I thought them meeting the Flood was good. This, however, was pure joy. All their comments on the level were spot on! “This is going on for so long” “They’re everywhere!” “Are you laughing?!” “Is that a rocket launcher??” “AAAHHHHHHHhhHhHhhHHHh!!!!!”

Finally discovered that in the room 343 locks you in - in between the alcoves that the flood keeping popping out of, the little pillars to the sides of that center section have health kits hiding behind them. Made that room 1000x easier.

[@iconiccavalier2240]

Its so interesting to come back and realize later on what Guilty Spark meant when he told the chief he had already actovated the rings once before. I think its like until Halo 4 you find out his past life (or something, cant remember the full details) he was a forerunner. Thats why 343 kept calling him Reclaimer.

[@DovahkiinBob-k4m]

343 studio retconed the forunners in halo 4. Bunji era had then hinted to be ancient human decedents similar to modern men. That’s why chief is called a reclaimer. Reclaiming the lost empire by inheritance
