The Coolest Flood Content I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!

Hey Hidden, I got an idea or a suggestion for you? Can you make a flood shirt or a Gravemind Coffe mug?

[@Cliffjumper2004]

Love these videos hidden and I made sure to sub to you both

[@Mr_Dorito3134]

Ngl hiddenXperia, you should do more videos like this. I LOVED this video.

[@awesomeguy9513]

Getting a flood horror spin off game or show would be so cool, there’s definitely demand for it with how popular flood videos and designs can get

[@ericj6636]

Dead space and the callisto protocol are basically that.

[@operatorphantom1459]

A horror/tactical shooter where you play as different UNSC personnel or civilians would be cool

[@ThommyofThenn]

​@@operatorphantom1459didn't play dead space but I agree playing as a regular UNSC soldier in a horror game would be very cool. Not being able to rely on your shields to pop the infection forms or protect you from the shrapnel of flood-launched rockets. Although the supercell can infect a perfectly healthy person, maybe your character could have a nifty helmet that serves as an air filter but no pressurised armour. Then the more cuts or shrapnel damage you get, the more susceptible you get to violently being assimilated

[@koolerpure]

they could do the flood taking over a planet and giving us the perspective of the unsc on the planet trying and failing to protect it and use zero spartans to do it and if they made it gritty itll be the best halo ever

[@salaxoltldetective989]

There's a game in the making called "Branching Sickness" or something like that set in the same universe and you play as an ODST I believe

[@mushroomfish300]

The two marines and two jackals aligning together to fight the flood, even for a short time, was so heartwarming and was so heartbreaking when they finally lost. F's in the comments for them and Marcus.

I love how well the fans contribute to Halo, it’s probably the same for most big gaming communities, but Halo feels like it’s held up by its community to an even greater extent

[@MrFunzerker]

Yeah, warhammer community have some pretty good animations. Too bad the publisher doesn’t take too kindly to them.

[@sandvicheatfresh]

team fortress 2 literally does valves job for them. every cosmetic, war paint (weapon skin), taunt (emote), map, bug fix is made by the community to the point where theres a fan remake of the game using an 2008 version as a base (as in the literal 2008 version of the game) and another team remaking the game from scratch in the source 2 engine

[@chromie6571]

After Bungie left the community’s all we’ve really had since

[@Matheus-ki9zo]

Skyrim is only still THE Skyrim because of mods.

[@liamfoleysound]

@@chromie6571 3 main series games, halo wars 2, a movie, a few mobile/arcade games, an animated series & 2 live action shows… Feel free to have criticisms of each project or the overall management of the IP for sure, but dismissing everything after Bungie is a bit harsh is all :)

[@Khornecussion]

For the Master Chief to call you hardcore is probably the best posthumous honor you could get as a combatant.

[@ZealotPara]

Imagine in a new Halo: CE remake, there's a section on the main menu just called "Mobuto" or something, and you get to play through pretty much everything we saw him go through in these animations, and the HUD looks like the marine bodycam footage at 18:40. That could be a great hour or two of some extra content to play through.

[@chipsdubbo5.56]

I have been following those animations while they were developed, and was giving him feedback and advice. I really love how he can capture the feel of the OG Halo CE animations with the movement and camera work almost the exact same as the game cutscenes. It really is mind-blowing that he can give us a visual representation of what we have always had to imagine in our minds; and now we can see it on screen! Thank you Luc for spreading awareness about these short films so more Halo fans can appreciate and enjoy them!

[@badzilla1173]

Was recommended his stuff a few months back. Love his animations. So good.

[@TheRenterGuy]

Marvin's story should be what an open world halo looks like. We played as a Spartan,ODST,& Elite. Now I want to do a standard marine.

[@suffy101]

True

[@MGD11717]

In the original halo on original Xbox you actually do find Marvin's body in the library I don't know why 343 took this out in the remake

[@Bary_McCokner]

As a UNSC marine, Marvin has probably been killing Covies for years, then he crash-lands on an alien ring-world, and is teleported by a blue orb into a confined space with the Flood. That poor bastard.

[@miguelallenmateo1189]

It feels nice seeing big youtubers acknowledge smaller ones. Since the vid released NotPipi increased by 2k subs the last I checked. And, yes, his animations are indeed very good.

[@michaelcox1948]

Chief calling u "one hardcore SOB" is an achievement of the century lol

[@Aerofuerza]

I hope some of the old concept arts turn canon

[@TheRussianORIONTrooper]

With how good 343 has done with the lore recently I'm sure they will

[@Joni_Tarvainen]

If Marvin Mobuto were in project Orion, he'd be up there with Johnson. If he were selected into Spartan II program, we'd have three Hyperlehtal designations.

[@stefanogarcia8064]

I always wanted to see how the 2 marines and 2 pirate aliens came together to fight a common enemy... to me this first clip was canon

[@MRDLT00]

15:26 Elites in Halo 1 and 2 are the ONLY Elite designs. Simple, yet tall and elegant. Perfect designs.

[@MyHaloForges]

Thank you HiddenXperia for sharing this, it's amazing work and I have sent a sub to NotPipi's channel. Here's a crazy idea, imagine the Halo community donated to someone trustworthy to pass on the funds to Blur studios with the green light from Microsoft to animate what would be the first true Halo motion picture on the big screen, a movie based on the novel The Flood giving Halo fans the Halo CE story along with the events of Installation 04. That would be a dream come true!

[@MothFable]

Breaking quarantine is insanely good and seemingly rather underrated, Mona Lisa is another peak piece of flood content. The graphic novel Johnson’s story pops up in has a great story about some elites dealing with flood that’s legitimately super interesting. There’s a lot of cool less known halo content with the flood that I hope you see at some point if you haven’t already!

[@Storm_Dev]

How cool would it be to see a Generation Kill/Band of Brothers style series detailing a gritty story of a Halo CE Marine platoon complete with witty dialogue and squad chemistry. A man can dream.

[@scottnoseworthy975]

10:48 I used to play it when my mother would start yelling in the house growing up. Somehow made everything scarier

[@mastertree14]

I swear i just watched NotPipi YESTERDAY and already Hidden is covering this guy. NotPipis animation's are great and definitely deserves more attention!!!

[@inha1ed]

so glad ur featuring this guy he deserves waaay more views lol

[@yapyapthedestroyer2562]

I remember videos on 343 guilty spark pointing out the small detail of those marines and jackal corpses being there. Seeing an animation on that is both neat to see and saddening.

[@SobBaget602]

to those Chad Kigyar You will be missed and remembered

[@smitabhmoitra5726]

You're right. This guy is talented as hell!

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

I've watched that first one before. Installation 00 made a community post about it a while ago. I didn't know about the other ones, though. Also, i think the D on the time at 12:31 stands for deployment, not day. So it would be 64 hours after either waking up from cryo or from landing on the ring.

[@xboxgamerJ16]

The way he sits in his chair... why is that so familliar?

[@BrandonsUsername]

@12:30 The +64 hours is the total mission time. From his awakening on the Pillar of Autumn to that log was a little over 2 and a half earth days. At least if the armour clock is synced to an Earth clock. If it's a dynamic sync to what ever planet he is on, then its possible that a Day on a Halo ring isnt 24 hours and the time may be converted to a local day/night with an hour being longer or shorter as needed. For example if a day (noon to noon) was actually only 12 earth hours then the timer would be running at about 2x speed compared to a timer on Earth.

[@VoiceOfTheEmperor]

Yeah, good call mate! This stuff is FIRE!

[@jeanmouloude]

Oh yea i’ve seen that dude’s animations :) I pointed out how the jackals are the most likely to switch side, cuz they’re just paid mercenaries

[@paladindaril]

Theyre is indeed 1 marine body in the library.

[@aaronbarrett5061]

Man that first one, marines and jackals side by side, legit had to stop myself from crying like a baby 😂 I want that made into a god dam film NOW! 😭

[@Bagel_weblenton]

A remake of halo CE with all the extra parts of lore from the flood book and everything else like ODSTS, maybe being able to see the camp that was built ( i forgot the name of it alpha base or something ) Linda in the cryosleep pod, and maybe even like extra missions or even just little Easter eggs and a overhaul of the graphics as long as they stayed faithful to the og look would be sooo cool

[@kotarai_]

These videos are amazing. But if you get the time I highly recommend Mona Lisa. It's probably the best official mini-series involving the flood.

[@that_one_helljumper]

Kig yar and humans teaming up makes the most sense than any other combo with the kig yar being in the covenant for money and piracy and not being zealous like the elites. I think it might be mentioned somewhere in the lore of the four teaming up to fight the flood

[@Player3.]

Glad this guys getting recognition. His animations are awesome!

[@Zenghilios]

0:57 no no, as a reactor, you had it right the first time

[@abccomando9329]

there actually is 1 marine body on combat evolved in the library its in one of the tunnels

[@handqu4886]

That marine would have been a killer of a spartan

[@SleepyKurisu]

Just watching this vid makes me want a flood horror story even more and not just one at least 3 each with a different pov or maybe just have one long really well done film with 3 povs from 3 different protags. Crazy how just the beginning stage of the flood makes enemies turn to allys

[@TheStardustConspiracy]

His animations are incredible!! If I ever wanted to make a custom campaign with full mission cinematics I know who I will hire

Just imagine how different halo ce would be if it unfolded the same way that Halo: The Flood described it as

That last animation was *chef's kiss* And all of them were great and hit me with a huge nostalgia bomb! Nothing like the OG Halo.

[@Ascendedninja6]

Crazy how it reignited the same vibe I got when i first came across The Flood. I've been seeing comments lately saying The Library is the worst level in CE. That baffles me because me and my friends had the most fun on that level, and we would play it over and over.

[@Destroyerofnations]

[@declanthomas7159]

CE had so many little stories within the story with just corpse placements This guys work is brilliant, imagine him doing stories such as Rtas' raid on the Infinite Succor, Operation First Strike and the story of Zuka Zamamee

[@Black_Dragon_Studios]

The main problem with a traditional zombie story with the flood is that it really wouldn't work because traditional zombies are are slow, unorganized, sloppy, and unintelligent, while the flood is anything but those.

Love how Johnson is dismissively pushing away the infection form in the thumbnail. "Not now squidlet, I'm a little busy killing your big brothers, I'll get to you in a second"

[@ThommyofThenn]

I like how the AR uses the stock sound effect of the Warthog, only for the original sound effect to be used when Johnson is using one

NotPipi deserves all the credit and support of this world, his work is amazing. He had announced he would stop making animations a short time ago because he had lost his hardware and the materials he worked with, but then he came back stronger than ever. let's all give our support to him!

[@WanderThruster99]

I love NotPipi and seeing him get recognition feels amazing

[@benhales1953]

The 2 marines and 2 jackals are a metaphor for how enemies can put aside their differences for a common goal of survival. I won't lie it actually got me quite emotional

[@superintendentvergil9928]

It's amazing the fact that you are promoting such an underrated channel.

[@JacobTyler1776]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The very talented modding community could come together and make mini campaigns and standalone missions to bring stuff like Sargeant Johnson's escape, Marvin Mobutto, Chips Dubbo, or that Flood outbreak on a Covenant ship where the Shipmaster had to duel his old mentor at the end into the game. - Sodaz, HaloVFX and the guy who did the excellent videos showcased in this vid (and others I'm sure) could do cutscenes. - Organizers of the project could run a page where they post what is needed, and let people submit sound bytes for voice acting work to be used in the mods. Getting Halo KZbinrs like Hidden Xperia, Act Man, etc. to do stuff for projects like this shouldn't be too hard either. - We can all see that there's a lot of talented people active on the Steam Workshop who could do the work for the gameplay/combat encounters, mission flow, etc. Many hands make light work, and if this was properly organized and promoted in the community, who wouldn't want to be involved in a project like this?? With the right team of people coordinating everything, it could really come together. If it's true that 343 is diverting most of their resources allocated for MCC elsewhere, something like this happening is probably the only realistic way we'll get to experience all this amazing lore in-game at some point. I'm not one to just spout off about what I think "should be done" and just shrug my shoulders and say "good luck with that." I don't have modding or animating skills, but I'm a marketing, propaganda, and cold contact guy. If @HiddenXperia or someone with the influence and resourcefulness to help pull something like this off likes my ideas and wants to talk about coordinating efforts in some way, feel free to reach out. I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Finally! I was wondering when you were gonna talk about this!

[@teamdoghouse82880]

Does anyone else think getting a game that focuses entirely on the Sangheili would be totally worth waiting for? Like a game that possibly details how they would deal with a potential Flood outbreak? A game where the humans take a side seat to the Arbiter and his Swords of Sangheilios as the main protagonists, along with other clans as rivals and allies.

[@chromie6571]

This is one of those fan suggestions that makes me think a little too hard about the unprecedented level of mishandling and missed opportunities this series has gone through since Bungie left. Now am sad

[@teamdoghouse82880]

@@chromie6571 it would be so easy to create a landmark game from a simple narrative: Rival clans seeking to take power from the Arbiter and his faction continue the pursuit of forerunner technology, with which they can continue to wage war on humanity, the Swords of Sanghelios, and the other species of the galaxy. During their quest to obtain said ancient Forerunner weapons, technology, and relics, they come across a remnant of the Flood, stored in stasis and cause an outbreak that the protags barely are able to contain. Easy peasy. You have a winning formula that features all of the species and factions from the Halo universe.

[@jakeetter2822]

I got ideas for plausible flood fan animations. 1: This takes place shortly before Noble 6 is in play. Noble 6 investigates a rebel bace that went silent shortly after getting a mysterious artifact. Then he has to destroy the bace 2: A human captured by the Covenant. He is approached by a Flood worshiper, and asked to join him when the flood attacks. But instead he chases the flood worshiper before a flood carrier from picked him up. 3: This takes place in the war between the Spirit of Fire and the Banished. This is the view of a marine who takes his personal duties to guard the quarantine area. 4: This place in the last moments of the Forerunner Flood war. A Forerunner and a human team up when the Flood attacks the greater ark.

This is soooooo cool. Amazing work! LOVE the RE3 inspired scene- the OG RE3 soundtrack and music here fits soooo well with the Flood fight. LOVE Sergeant Johnson kicking Flood ass... it makes you think: who actually was hearing the "Devils, Monsters" theme during the fight- Johnson, or The Flood in awe and terror of Johnson's badass- ness.

[@zow8238]

That Breaking Quarantine animation begs the question. WHY WHY WHY *WHY?!* haven't we gotten a single damn thing revolving around Halo First Strike? No animations (BQ aside), no spins offs, no nothing. It's one of the best Halo side stories of all time. It's got Chief and Johnson and Linda reuniting, a rebel alliance, betrayal, and, most importantly, OPERATION: FIRST STRIKE, the singular mission that bought Earth just enough time for the UNSC to outlast the Covenant through the Human-Covenant war. I mean, for crying out loud, it was the prequel to Halo 2 and has the perfect setting for an FPS spinoff. Just imagine controlling Chief and fighting alongside other Spartans and desperate Marines as you invade the Unyielding Heirophant and try to break Truth's shadow fleet before it can descend upon Earth come Halo 2. Wouldn't that be badass? I think so.
