Lets see how all badass humans are doing: Isaac: *sigh* I love space... Doom Slayer: Oh FCK here we go again! Master Chief: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what hooked me. I know more about Halo than 343i did when they picked up the series. So seeing someone experience Halo for the first time is refreshing to me. Dee absolutely knew more about Halo than 343 coming in just by knowing Chief was the main character. My mom even knew that and the most advanced game she plays is pac-man. NEVER gonna let that one go, lol
"Oh thank god it's the covenant" *couple minutes pass* "NOOOOOOO NOT THE FLOOD" Lol I felt this in my soul, I remember the exact same feelings from my first encounter with the flood
In halo legends in the episode "origins II" that's basically what happened lmfao. I wouldn't say the entire covenant teamed with humanity in the actual lore itself.
In the book about Halo: CE (Halo The Flood), when Master Chief looked at that recording, it was described that the chief was extremely frightened. Later at the Library the chief was shaking with fear. (PS: at some point during the mission the Library 343 Guilty Spark mentions that he bringed another reclaimer [Sgt. Marvin Mobuto], that didn't make it to the index. The chief found his body which he could only identify through his Dog tag and paid his respects to the Marine. “I didn't know you, Sarge, but I sure as hell wish I had. You must have been one hardass son of a bitch.” He was surprised at how far Mobuto had managed to get, as he himself had been pushed to the limit to get as far as he had even with his augmentations and MJOLNIR body armor).
Except that book is considered to be pretty bad compared to others, people didn't like the way Chief was portrayed in it, it doesn't seem like him at all.
The fact that it's a rocket flood that makes him rage quit is just perfect! 🤣 Those guys suck and they attack out of goddamn nowhere. I feel like the developers put them in just to fuck with players.
I definitely like Halo CE more, but I also can’t wait to see the reaction for those who see how the flood infects it’s host in Halo 3. Imagine Bungie actually making that for the flood in Halo CE on released. If I wasn’t terrified about them before during that time, I would’ve definitely been.
For months i only played then first 5 levels refusing to face them because they scared the shit out of me. Now i wish they were in the new games as it would be interesting to use new weapons and abilities against them and them use them as well.

Halo 1 was the best game when it first came out. The fact it was a shooter and you had so many weapons, large environment, vehicles you could drive, fly and mount and the variety of enemies and the change in how the gameplay felt, like you experienced personally this level. You hate the flood and are happy to fight the covenant again. I wish more games of this era could be like Halo 1 was back in the day. I remember playing this every day and discovering new things.
You think the flood is scary imagine the impression they made nearly 20 years ago. My 8 year old self was so scared to beat the flood levels that I asked my dad to, who never played the game before. Now he's a huge fan of the franchise (well, HCE, H2, and HR). Edit: To those asking about the other games; He doesn't really like them. He doesn't like H3 for it's story and nerfing the weapons from the previous two titles. H4 and 5, he doesn't care much for how those games look or the stories they tell, mainly because they feel more targeted for a younger audience, which I guess they are (lol). He does like the cut scenes for the halo wars games but not so much for the RTS gameplay. He's also not a multi-player guy, he does campaign and rarely deviats towards firefight. I showed him the Halo Infinite gameplay and he likes what he saw, especially the return of the classic art style and large scale play spaces.
20:00 was absolutely perfect timing. That panicked tone from fighting the Flood for the first time, compounded by those infection forms getting too close, and the brief moment of relief that may have come from smacking that one infection form out of the air...…...only to have that shot down by the door bursting open releasing dozens more forms.

@@V2ULTRAKill same, at the time we all just thought spark assumed all humans knew forerunner protocols being the inheritors.

Its all just really cool and blew my mind when i realized how far ahead they planned the story. It just shows the passion the OG bungie had. I wish 343 carried on that same passion
Not to mention the PC port fucked up with a lot of the ilumation effects in the classic version, it used to be even prettier, let's hope they'll fix it.
@@edgarmanuelzetinaaguilar6972 Yeah, I can't believe Gearbox fucked up the transparent effects and the bumpmapping. Doubt it's going to be revived after all this time though :/
@@hungryal someone said the anniversary edition ruined the flood but i think the flood in the anniversary edition look great more details are added some of their armor or clothing are still intact
Potato Frisk It’s not that The Flood were ruined- it’s the atmosphere of the Mission 343 Guilty Spark- many people say the remaster made it too luminated and bright and this ruined the atmosphere of encountering the Flood for the first time.
It's funny to see that even after 20 years the game still has it's scare factor. I was really scared playing it for the first time back in the days meeting the Flood. I will follow you after reach and CE for the rest of the great journey (haha spoiler), and relive the memory's as a first timer. I really love watching this! Keep it up buddy!
To me it's impressive that a game made 20 years ago is has dialogue that make no sense until h4 and the novels. I know that it's written upon that dialogue but you can already tell bungie wanted to make this universe large right off the bat
@* SPARTAN-IV * I know that the fall of reach was written before halo CE was released so they already had a small bedrock to work on, however the existance of the forerunners, the title reclaimer and the mjolnir armor being known to guilty spark aswell as nudging to chief being one of the iso-didacts is pretty good setup, normally you wouldnt leave so many threads dangling in your first game if you dont expect to build a big universe around it eventually. and Bungie did just that and followed up on it, all open threads have been expanded on even as late as the final words of the flood-forerunner war where guilty spark askes why chief hesitates to do what he already did
@@solar7427 In the original outline it's quite clear that humanity *are descendants of the forerunners* hence why humans can operate Forerunner technology and the Covenant species can't. Unfortunately, that plot point never made it to Halo 4, due to copyright reasons between Bungie and Microsoft. Same with the references to Bungie's old Marathon series--343i had to alter the design for some symbols in the Halo remasters, due to Bungie retaining the copyright for the Marathon series. So, not only is the groundwork for future plot threads impressive in the first game, it's impressive the amount of hoops 343i jumped through to make just one semi-decent (and *very* different) storyline in Halo 4.
@@solar7427 To put my previous comment into perspective: this means that in the original storyline *Humanity built Halo* --100,000 years before recorded history began. In 343 Industries' revised storyline, ancient humanity had nothing to do with it, and meet a rather unfortunate fate at uh...spoilers, spoilers, Halo 4 and most especially, Halo 4 Terminals and Spartan Ops, spoilers.
I've played all the Bungie Halos more times than I dare to count, I know each of the stories by heart and could probably quote most of it too. But watching someone encounter the flood for the first time took me straight back to playing Halo:CE for my first time, it was fecking terrifying...
lol i skip all but 2 of the hunters every time because i steal the banshee from the elite on the rock bridge so it doesn't spawn 4 of them and if it does i just skip em
Never thought I’d see a mature dude feel what we all felt so long ago. I love this channel so much, never thought I’d see someone get so into/appreciate a great game. Also, the Flood music has the same affect as the Radar alarm on the iPhone-fight or flight activator💀💀💀 put it on a tornado siren speaker and you have yourself a weapon😂
The library level did its job and is one of the best levels in the first halo. It's supposed to make you feel frustrated and overwhelmed just like the chief is in the mission. Halo combat evolved does an amazing job of putting the player in chief's heavy metalic boots.
THIS! And also if you just hang back and take time its actually not that hard even on legendary. In fact all of ce is pretty fair on legendary. ie not bullshit OP enemies. Everything has a counter if you know how.
SpearixPlays Halo 2’s story is slightly better. But not only did 3 have a campaign that was almost as good, it had the best MP and introduced Forge. Also ODST is technically is an expansion for Halo 3, so...
41:12 *_Covenant Dance_** starts* Me: _bounces head to the beat_ Flood: _appear_ Dee: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not the Flood! Me: *wheeze followed by uncontrollable laughter*
Dee, I'd strongly recommend using the motion tracker more, spatial awareness is super importantand the motion tracker helps alot. Also, once you've finished halo 2, play the mission outskirts on legendary difficulty, just so you've experienced it. You also need to do this to understand some of halo jokes Also flood don't take damage from melee hits or sniper rounds as they're so goopy the rounds go straight through them
@Keith Pillsbury It's definitely intentional. Also, I'm fairly positive that while they can be hurt by those things in later games, they still have significant resistance to those damage types. (Unless you snipe them in the infection form. Which actually might also work in CE.)
@Keith Pillsbury it's intentional I think. The lore states that the most effective to use against the flood is weapons that can destroy flesh or biomass. So stuff like plasma weapons or other incendiary weapons that can burn corpses were the best, and also shotguns
@@raflystiansahlatif5293 Shotgun is best, then rockets and grenades, then assault rifle, then plasma rifle. If you shoot the infection form with a pistol that works.
In case you were wondering, 343 is a reference to the number 7 which is a big running number in the Bungie franchise, and also yes 343 Industries is named directly after 343 Guilty Spark (I do believe anyway, I may be wrong).
Love how he's taking about how good the game is when he's just fighting the Covenant, and you know what he's about to experience. This was an absolute treat.
There's a skip trick to basically forego fighting all the enemies for the last third of Assault on the Control Room. Watching you play it the way its supposed to looks kinda weird now, though I feel I should start playing the game the way its supposed to again. Also pretty good seeing your reaction to the flood for the first time.
@Language and Programming Channel "Pain"? That word might apply to skipping as much of Library as possible, but AotCR was a FUN level, full of opportunities to f**k with Covies. I _enjoy_ messing with them, frustrating them, getting them to kill each other, downright humiliating and enraging them before they die in amusing ways. I use the early Banshee to fly ahead and prep the rest of the level so I can play with Covies, not to avoid them. They're fun playmates when you treat them right. But I guess that's the difference between a racer and a trickster. I still get a laugh out of, e.g., setting up a couple of squads of Covies to be run down by a Banshee Covie gone postal. That's just one of many tricks I can set up by getting ahead in the level and prepping it before spawning the Covies. Nothing wrong with racing through levels if they're painful for you, just sayin' I prefer to play them my way.
Yo, thank you very much for that shoutout in the intro 😂 I wasn’t expecting the little comic strip to be shown right next to that scene from the previous video 😂 😂 it was hilarious. Thanks a lot tho :v Now, on to seeing the rest of the video :’v
Can't wait to see the finale of Halo CE, and looking forward to you playing Halo 2 for the first time. I'm stoked... I remember playing the original on the old school Xbox... they had it hooked up in a Sam's Club for people to play in my hometown in California. Got to the part where you first encounter the Flood, had someone come and ask me to leave from my panicked shouts.
At 21:16 I cracked up so hard. Cause he ain't wrong. High Charity on H3 to this day is my most hated mission in the series only because how creepy it was. Scared the shit outta me as a teen and still does as an adult! XD
I miss those feelings in games. Never been so scared of a game until playing the first flood mission. I think most of us can remember our hearts exploding.
I live the journey you are on. The fact that you came from Play Station and now playing Halo on Xbox makes you the best guy on TH-cam. You are now apart of the Great Journey ;)
*1st time playing the library* "where TF do i go" *93rd time playing the library but this time with magical flood killing pistol* "where TF do i go!!!"
OMG, whoever drew those sketches of the "HD" bit at the start is an absolute LEGEND! Was looking forward to his reaction to the Flood, and...I was not disappointed! Watching him get progressively more distraught. The Library is a place engrained in my memory as a place of nightmares, alongside the Bottom of the Well and the Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time!
@@nicerperson1 It's like the movie Speed, you go below a certain speed you fucking DIE, keep moving and remember that the Shotgun is King and the AR or melee is great for Infection Forms. Also ignore the Sniper, it is like the complete opposite of what it does to a Hunter.
Your reactions to the flood's reveal was just perfect lol. Also, I cant wait for Friday's stream for more Halo 2, so we can see the rest of your Halo journey.
@kabob0077 its kinda a shame the the remaster of halo 2 is so good amazing because you lose the classic tracks. At the same time, i cant say dont play the remaster because holy hell the cutscene are phenomenal
Gotta feel sorry for Jenkins, he survived first contact with the Covenant, saw his home world Harvest get glassed, would have seen some of the worst defeats Humanity suffered, including the Fall of Reach, only to be consumed by a horrifying parasite on a strange ring world
I replayed the flood mission a few years ago on my original Xbox, there were things I missed when I was 8 in the woods, for one the motion tracker getting a random red marker but disappearing, you can actually see shadows in the fog of the flood all creating an unsettling sequence that your being stalked
26:45 "We,... we didn't have any arrows on the floor showing us the way. We had to run in fraking circles; I played this level for what must seemed to be 30 hours or more,... just,... trying,... to,... get,... further,... than,... yesterday... and the shotgun,... it's name is 'Precious'."
This is the purest reaction to Halo I have ever seen. It really makes me happy as a veteran Halo player. Imagine fighting the Flood as a 10 year old! Yeah, that was me back in 2004! Cheers man, thank you
When I played CE I was so young I was more scared of Hunters than anything. Didn’t even get this far into the game. Wish I knew what it was like to see this stuff for the first time, video brought a smile to my face.

But i think the bungie lead writer (i forget his name) always intended for the background lore to be this way. I.e. chief being the lifes work of the librarian. Its all just really cool and blew my mind when i realized how far ahead they planned the story. It just shows the passion the OG bungie had. I wish 343 carried on that same passion
Its actually incredible to see how well the graphics have aged
Not to mention the PC port fucked up with a lot of the ilumation effects in the classic version, it used to be even prettier, let's hope they'll fix it.
Art direction and level desing never age. That's what makes a masterpiece, not graphic fxs and poligon count that get surpassed in 12 months.
@@edgarmanuelzetinaaguilar6972 Yeah, I can't believe Gearbox fucked up the transparent effects and the bumpmapping. Doubt it's going to be revived after all this time though :/
@@hungryal someone said the anniversary edition ruined the flood but i think the flood in the anniversary edition look great more details are added some of their armor or clothing are still intact
Potato Frisk It’s not that The Flood were ruined- it’s the atmosphere of the Mission 343 Guilty Spark- many people say the remaster made it too luminated and bright and this ruined the atmosphere of encountering the Flood for the first time.
Geek "These Flood are terrifying!"
Rocket Flood "This isn't even my final form."
@Brother Kotello there can be MAC flood
It's funny to see that even after 20 years the game still has it's scare factor. I was really scared playing it for the first time back in the days meeting the Flood.
I will follow you after reach and CE for the rest of the great journey (haha spoiler), and relive the memory's as a first timer.
I really love watching this! Keep it up buddy!
To me it's impressive that a game made 20 years ago is has dialogue that make no sense until h4 and the novels. I know that it's written upon that dialogue but you can already tell bungie wanted to make this universe large right off the bat
@* SPARTAN-IV * I know that the fall of reach was written before halo CE was released so they already had a small bedrock to work on, however the existance of the forerunners, the title reclaimer and the mjolnir armor being known to guilty spark aswell as nudging to chief being one of the iso-didacts is pretty good setup, normally you wouldnt leave so many threads dangling in your first game if you dont expect to build a big universe around it eventually. and Bungie did just that and followed up on it, all open threads have been expanded on even as late as the final words of the flood-forerunner war where guilty spark askes why chief hesitates to do what he already did
Same
@@solar7427 In the original outline it's quite clear that humanity *are descendants of the forerunners* hence why humans can operate Forerunner technology and the Covenant species can't. Unfortunately, that plot point never made it to Halo 4, due to copyright reasons between Bungie and Microsoft. Same with the references to Bungie's old Marathon series--343i had to alter the design for some symbols in the Halo remasters, due to Bungie retaining the copyright for the Marathon series. So, not only is the groundwork for future plot threads impressive in the first game, it's impressive the amount of hoops 343i jumped through to make just one semi-decent (and *very* different) storyline in Halo 4.
@@solar7427 To put my previous comment into perspective: this means that in the original storyline *Humanity built Halo* --100,000 years before recorded history began.
In 343 Industries' revised storyline, ancient humanity had nothing to do with it, and meet a rather unfortunate fate at uh...spoilers, spoilers, Halo 4 and most especially, Halo 4 Terminals and Spartan Ops, spoilers.
Master chief and Doomguy?
Might be the best supersoldier duo
I've played all the Bungie Halos more times than I dare to count, I know each of the stories by heart and could probably quote most of it too. But watching someone encounter the flood for the first time took me straight back to playing Halo:CE for my first time, it was fecking terrifying...
Interesting note: by my count, Assault on the Control Room has more Hunters in it than all of Halo 2's levels combined.
It' a shame because I love the Halo 2 hunters cannon firing sound.
Well the original graphics sound.
FleshyMeatSac right, no idea why they changed it in the updated graphics to that dumb sound.
@@URAWESOME94 there was nothing better than not realising there was a hunter near by and then all of a sudden you hear it.
lol i skip all but 2 of the hunters every time because i steal the banshee from the elite on the rock bridge so it doesn't spawn 4 of them and if it does i just skip em
Q: How many are there?!?
A: Yes.
Gravemind: Yes. *
Never thought I’d see a mature dude feel what we all felt so long ago. I love this channel so much, never thought I’d see someone get so into/appreciate a great game. Also, the Flood music has the same affect as the Radar alarm on the iPhone-fight or flight activator💀💀💀 put it on a tornado siren speaker and you have yourself a weapon😂
imagine hearing that music blaring through the town out of nowhere... Nope....
43:16 Lmao, that reaction was perfect
38:26 that moment when your happy to see the covenant rather then the flood.
43:16
Who would win? The Irish Spartan or one Gooey rocket boi?
DBG: "Come on Covenant we need to work together!"
*Throws Plasma Grenade into Flood and Elites battling each other*
Series Death Count: 58
Deaths this episode: 18
Fuckin rip lmao
fuck.. lol 1/3 of his deaths came from his first encounters w the flood
31:05 killed me. Watched that five or so times over.
"Holy hell they can jump!"
That...and much more...
The library level did its job and is one of the best levels in the first halo.
It's supposed to make you feel frustrated and overwhelmed just like the chief is in the mission.
Halo combat evolved does an amazing job of putting the player in chief's heavy metalic boots.
Just because it narratively sound doesn't make the mission good.
@@sizzle5775 i call it good, yet i still complain when i play it.
Total bruh moment.
THIS! And also if you just hang back and take time its actually not that hard even on legendary. In fact all of ce is pretty fair on legendary. ie not bullshit OP enemies. Everything has a counter if you know how.
@@mudmonkeymagic yes, i never try to rush it neither. After all it is a survival mission is some bizarre way.
@@mudmonkeymagic Word!
Can’t wait for Halo 3 playthrough, one of the best games ever, by far.
Yes!
I love halo 3 as well however in my personal opinion I prefer halo 2
Can't wait to see his reaction to vai.
SpearixPlays Halo 2’s story is slightly better. But not only did 3 have a campaign that was almost as good, it had the best MP and introduced Forge. Also ODST is technically is an expansion for Halo 3, so...
He's probably gonna get scared on the horde sounds of the flood 😂
Liked it 7 hours before it was premiered, it’s big brain time
8:03 my favorite vine.
Also, rocket flood: "I'm bout to end this mans whole career.."
lmfao
41:12
*_Covenant Dance_** starts*
Me: _bounces head to the beat_
Flood: _appear_
Dee: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not the Flood!
Me: *wheeze followed by uncontrollable laughter*
Dee: "Doom slayer are you here?"
Me: "worse"
"We trade on foe for another".
"Worse ITS THEM"
Tienes toda la jodida razon
Dee, I'd strongly recommend using the motion tracker more, spatial awareness is super importantand the motion tracker helps alot.
Also, once you've finished halo 2, play the mission outskirts on legendary difficulty, just so you've experienced it. You also need to do this to understand some of halo jokes
Also flood don't take damage from melee hits or sniper rounds as they're so goopy the rounds go straight through them
@Keith Pillsbury It's definitely intentional.
Also, I'm fairly positive that while they can be hurt by those things in later games, they still have significant resistance to those damage types. (Unless you snipe them in the infection form. Which actually might also work in CE.)
@Keith Pillsbury it's intentional I think. The lore states that the most effective to use against the flood is weapons that can destroy flesh or biomass. So stuff like plasma weapons or other incendiary weapons that can burn corpses were the best, and also shotguns
@@raflystiansahlatif5293
Shotgun is best, then rockets and grenades, then assault rifle, then plasma rifle.
If you shoot the infection form with a pistol that works.
@@ericj6636 yep, Halo CE shotgun and grenades are the best imo
@@raflystiansahlatif5293 For the infection forms my personal favorite is the AR, that thing can disapear dozens of the Flood in seconds.
In case you were wondering, 343 is a reference to the number 7 which is a big running number in the Bungie franchise, and also yes 343 Industries is named directly after 343 Guilty Spark (I do believe anyway, I may be wrong).
343 was originally a sub-branch of Bungie so yes, it was named after Guilty Spark.
41:05 I love how Deebeegeek swaps from joy to fear while he realises the epic Marty Music is for the nightmare of the flood.
Love how he's taking about how good the game is when he's just fighting the Covenant, and you know what he's about to experience. This was an absolute treat.
When you got rocket launcher-ed by the Flood, I won't lie. I laughed out LOUD.
But only cos I know what that feels like
There's a skip trick to basically forego fighting all the enemies for the last third of Assault on the Control Room. Watching you play it the way its supposed to looks kinda weird now, though I feel I should start playing the game the way its supposed to again.
Also pretty good seeing your reaction to the flood for the first time.
@Language and Programming Channel "Pain"? That word might apply to skipping as much of Library as possible, but AotCR was a FUN level, full of opportunities to f**k with Covies. I _enjoy_ messing with them, frustrating them, getting them to kill each other, downright humiliating and enraging them before they die in amusing ways.
I use the early Banshee to fly ahead and prep the rest of the level so I can play with Covies, not to avoid them. They're fun playmates when you treat them right.
But I guess that's the difference between a racer and a trickster. I still get a laugh out of, e.g., setting up a couple of squads of Covies to be run down by a Banshee Covie gone postal. That's just one of many tricks I can set up by getting ahead in the level and prepping it before spawning the Covies.
Nothing wrong with racing through levels if they're painful for you, just sayin' I prefer to play them my way.
@@tarinaten2053 you worded that like you molested the covenant
Yo, thank you very much for that shoutout in the intro 😂
I wasn’t expecting the little comic strip to be shown right next to that scene from the previous video 😂 😂 it was hilarious.
Thanks a lot tho :v
Now, on to seeing the rest of the video :’v
That comic strip was hilarious!😂
You drew that EXACTLY as how I envisioned that to play out lol. Great work
Thomas Ansell thank you so much 😂
KeeLoker hahaha it was just, such a perfect set of events 😂
I absolutely had to do it.
Thank you so much :3
Seriously this man's literally every reaction in the video is the best thing what could've happened in 2020.
Me: Loses Marine
Me: "FRICK!" *Restarts checkpoint.*
Halo 3 Floodgate Mission: "Ima bout' to end this man's whole career."
I swear whenever I see these recaps they always make me smile! They're one of the best things about your TH-cam channel
Can't wait to see the finale of Halo CE, and looking forward to you playing Halo 2 for the first time. I'm stoked... I remember playing the original on the old school Xbox... they had it hooked up in a Sam's Club for people to play in my hometown in California. Got to the part where you first encounter the Flood, had someone come and ask me to leave from my panicked shouts.
If you visit his twitch, you can watch the VODS of the CE finale and the first episode of halo2
At 21:16 I cracked up so hard. Cause he ain't wrong. High Charity on H3 to this day is my most hated mission in the series only because how creepy it was. Scared the shit outta me as a teen and still does as an adult! XD
Especially with Gravemind fucking with your mind and slowing you down when he speaks
I miss those feelings in games. Never been so scared of a game until playing the first flood mission. I think most of us can remember our hearts exploding.
There’s so many things he says in this video that if you just heard without any context or background noise you’d think he’d be talking about sex
I live the journey you are on. The fact that you came from Play Station and now playing Halo on Xbox makes you the best guy on TH-cam. You are now apart of the Great Journey ;)
dude I still cant get over that reaction to the rocketlauncher flood LMAO!!!
"Well.... Fuck you Eminem"
Ah, the worst mission in all of Halo - The Library.
Cortana was worse
senzutoast No.
*1st time playing the library* "where TF do i go"
*93rd time playing the library but this time with magical flood killing pistol* "where TF do i go!!!"
just be glad he didn't do it on legendary.
Am I the only person who loves the library?
"this is my least favorite mission". Said about The Library by everyone who ever ever played Halo: CE.
OMG, whoever drew those sketches of the "HD" bit at the start is an absolute LEGEND!
Was looking forward to his reaction to the Flood, and...I was not disappointed! Watching him get progressively more distraught.
The Library is a place engrained in my memory as a place of nightmares, alongside the Bottom of the Well and the Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time!
TIP : Just like doom 2016 ,DO NOT STAND STILL ,KEEP MOVING AND SHOOTING
Gotta play this shit like Brutal Doom, Shotgunning and running.
Or just Doom in general.
Definite, full on John Wick....
@@nicerperson1 It's like the movie Speed, you go below a certain speed you fucking DIE, keep moving and remember that the Shotgun is King and the AR or melee is great for Infection Forms.
Also ignore the Sniper, it is like the complete opposite of what it does to a Hunter.
Halo 2 will make you even more scared of the Flood.
Xale 1231 And by Halo 3, the fear is gone and replaced with anger.
Hate those fungal lookin’ bastards.
I dunno. Watching the flood physically dig inside a marine, brute, or elite in Halo 3 creeped me the hell out.
CheddarChaddar I was referring to the Gravemind. The fact that the flood aren't just mindless zombies and can actually think is terrifying.
@@xaleypoo4779 Oh yeah. I can't wait to see his reaction with every flood encounter
I hated Quarantine Zone in H2
Those drawings at the start have already killed me
The Flood levels were some of the most stressful moments of my childhood. I was in utter turmoil having to play through them.
"Oh thank God, it's the Covenant"
Same bro. 😂
21:50 Kind of ironic if you’ve played through the later games lol
Your reactions to the flood's reveal was just perfect lol. Also, I cant wait for Friday's stream for more Halo 2, so we can see the rest of your Halo journey.
20:28 *"Oh no.* CHIEF DON'T YOU HEAR THAT MUSIC? THAT'S A 4/4 STRING OSTINATO IN D MINOR! EVERY SPARTAN KNOWS IT MEANS DEATH!"
That's library🏫📚 mission 🥶🥶 . Back in my childhood. It is still give me nightmare 12 years later
It was so fun to relive this moment with you, thank you!
Just wait until Halo 3 Flood. It's nasty.
what about the grave mind in halo 2 remastered.
@@rnjrgreen8723 the nastiest
The Defenestrator on Legendary. PTSD
The most powerful Flood types in the lore too.
the combat forms in 3 are weak but the infection forms, ranged forms and tank forms are fucking annoying
If he likes the music in Halo CE.. “waits until he hears Blow me Away in Halo 2”
The people have told him to play with remastered graphics so he will miss it
@@andrewbowen2837 The fools, he should do Classic so he can hear the Glory of that scene.
@kabob0077 its kinda a shame the the remaster of halo 2 is so good amazing because you lose the classic tracks. At the same time, i cant say dont play the remaster because holy hell the cutscene are phenomenal
Gotta feel sorry for Jenkins, he survived first contact with the Covenant, saw his home world Harvest get glassed, would have seen some of the worst defeats Humanity suffered, including the Fall of Reach, only to be consumed by a horrifying parasite on a strange ring world
I replayed the flood mission a few years ago on my original Xbox, there were things I missed when I was 8 in the woods, for one the motion tracker getting a random red marker but disappearing, you can actually see shadows in the fog of the flood all creating an unsettling sequence that your being stalked
Dee Bee Geek: How many are there?!!
The flood: *Yes*
36:18 Holy shit I forgot I was watching you play it until I heard you. I was just sucked into the cutscene
I saw that rocket launcher death in the end coming and I'm like "Oh no" 🤣😂💀
Dee Bee V the flood🤣
26:45 "We,... we didn't have any arrows on the floor showing us the way. We had to run in fraking circles; I played this level for what must seemed to be 30 hours or more,... just,... trying,... to,... get,... further,... than,... yesterday... and the shotgun,... it's name is 'Precious'."
41:09 his reaction is perfect
“This is sticky, sweaty and steamy!” - Dee Bee 2020
31:00 He starts singing Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”
31:06 Flood with Rocket Launcher: “Time’s up! Over! PLOW!!!! Snap back to reality!”
LMAO, everyone's first experience in the Library right there.
This is the purest reaction to Halo I have ever seen. It really makes me happy as a veteran Halo player. Imagine fighting the Flood as a 10 year old! Yeah, that was me back in 2004! Cheers man, thank you
When I played CE I was so young I was more scared of Hunters than anything. Didn’t even get this far into the game. Wish I knew what it was like to see this stuff for the first time, video brought a smile to my face.
Yea, Two Betrayals is definitely the longest and most tedious level in CE, just get through it my guy and then its smooth sailing
Dude this makes me feel like im a kid again. The first time I played it i was frightened by the flood. holly hell it was an experience.
His reaction to seeing the flood for the first time was very good😂 19:21, 20:46
Been a while since I’ve watched a let’s play video and I actually am able to sit through it without constantly checking the length. Especially with this almost being an hour. Earned a sub.
25:06 probably a more genuine “oh Christ” then you’ll hear in a church
Seeing somebody react to this level for the first time is AMAZING, LOL!
It's just as butt-clenching as it was for me back in '04! LOL
