This is an amazing mod! The flood in halo is already horrible. But the flood invading the Pillar of Autumn while everyone is still trapped in the ship before it ever reaches the ring just feels so terrifying. The introduction was amazing.
This is Echo team the airlock chamber is secured...Hold on ...something's contact! Multiple contacts! All over!..This is Echo team help! Help! They're breached our - aahhhhhhh!!!!
In all honesty, if this had happened, the Autumn would have been entirely overrun before it would even touch the ring's surface, or perhaps self-destructed before touchdown, once Keyes understood the nature of the Flood (most likely before they even reach the Bridge). It's extremely likely there would have been extremely few survivors in the lifeboats, with possibly 2 or 3 of them infected to take over the ring's surface and the remaining survivors.
OR the Covenant, upon hearing of a flood infestation aboard a human ship heading to a holy ring, decide to throw all safe fire protocols to where they belong and blast the Autumn out of existence
@@pvt.jonwallace It'd actually be more likely that with Cortana's ability to wirelessly tap into Covenant technology as show in Truth and Reconciliation, any communications from Covenant boarders on the PoA would not be able to transmit what's going on inside the ship until Chief and Co. left it.
@@inderezzed8454 well...in the books a Covenant A.I was able to outsmart Cortana and send a message to nearby covie ships orbiting Reach because she was way to spread out in a captured ship's systems... I can see the Flood presence all over the Autumn and the panicked screams for help and the dying distracting her too much to focus on what the Covenant are doing.
@@pvt.jonwallaceyou make a good point plus its arbiter leading this fleet and hed be smart enough to kill the autumn and just take heat from the prophets after on why he may or may not have damaged the halo ring.
@@pinkinthesushi I’m not talking about audio quality. I’m talking about capturing the chaos and terror of a first flood contact. The original was like a campy horror movie. Modders show how different and well done things could have been, makes you wonder why the developers didn’t go as hard
23:41 you may never notice this, but this part is both horrible and sad: that soldier, was fighting alone, in the dark, with no way out, surrounded by unknown monstrosities, some of them were used to be his friends and mates some moments ago, and he had seen how they turn into that deformed entities. Yes, he fought bravely but pointless, at the end he die giving one last horrible and desperate crying in a indescribable pain, with one last thought into his mind that is fading away: what’s happening, why? And you, the only one that could helped him, you are there, just standing, watching…
If I recall correctly, the Autumn had no set out on its mission yet when Reach was attacked. While the Chief surely knows many marines, it’s unlikely he ever made close friendships with soldiers on the Autumn. Besides, as he was moved around special missions his entire career. Basically used like a piece of equipment, spending most of his years in cryo storage.
@@pvt.jonwallace hehe take it easy soldier, I was just joking out, I know you would try IRL, and sometimes as just like IRL is that way, level design simply doesn’t help.
One of the biggest killers of tension in horror is frustration. The first encounter is far from fair being ambushed like that in a tight space, with the original first encounter, you are given a wide open space and only set upon by infection forms, slowly increasing in number with the combat forms being introduced as the fight progresses.
to be fair I was actually trying to save some of the Marines. in that regard going for the infection forms first is CRUCIAL since if they latch into any NPC they're good as dead. The combat forms coming from behind was bs tho, since...you came from there
TL;DR:it adds to the horror. It actually makes it better because your fighting this parasitic virus that latches onto anything that’s alive and turning almost all of it into these super natural ungodly creatures that only (in their Farrell stage) know to just target,infect/eat/kill anything with good biomass and turn it into one of them. And no one at the time knew what these things were. For all they know they came from whole different universes (and it is actually very like in lore that they have completely destroyed and infected whole other galaxies) and you barely have any space to move wich adds to the intended horror element of the flood and this mod in general.
The moment seconds before the flood attacks when he did hear them real close would have been the perfect moment to introduce the ingame map wich plops up with a couple of few moving red dots that suddenly rush towards you, giving a even greater moment of scare and dispense, otherwise fantastic mod!

I love this. It feels like one of those creepypasta stories in which the game starts to become corrupted and play differently, perfectly fitting for the Flood.
I don’t think chief would have made it off with all of the boarding parties feeding the flood, plus ALL of the autumns crew, had this happened, chief would have turned into a horror final boss. Fresh out of cryo and still relatively low on ammo, with flood in combat armor that can tank some of the shots impact from his bullets, most of the crew that we find on the ground of Halo usually don't have armor. Fireteam charlie and many other survivors often don't in Halo, Fireteam Zulu members are hit or miss, Johnsons Squad, and Keyes squad, all often don't. Makes it more difficult when what your shooting at is coming at you in numbers and can take more shots, even if it is a tad squishy, every shot counts. Chief is a monster on the field but when there's that many that still have armor for him to contend with....he's gonna run out of ammo.
I did die like a dozen times in that corridor with the three marines, so your point is valid. he will have had a hard time facing such a foe after being asleep
This is an old version of this mod isn’t it? In the newest update you never actually make it to the bridge or get cortana and it has more custom dialogue.
@@pvt.jonwallace Yeah hes working on updating the second level to be more consistent lore wise with the first. Said he plans for the master chief to join up with cortana later in the game. The first mission has a slightly slower build up to the flood than this version which is interesting.
@@pvt.jonwallace The Flood evolves through the Halo games from CE to 3, dividing the evolutionary process in 3 phases. If I remember correctly, with an active gravemind the flood can infect other life forms in a matter of seconds and infect dead bodies as well. That's the third phase. In halo CE there wasn't a gravemind, so they were at phase 1, infection was way more slower and they couldn't use vehicles yet. In the first phase of infection, the flood's objective it's to gather as much biomass as possible to make a gravemind, thing they were almost successful to do in Halo CE if it wasn't for the chief.
@@dr.calacas6787 So that makes the appearance of the Flood here that much more terrifying as this suggests that somewhere there already exists a gravemind. 😳
@@H377SC4P3 Indeed my friend, that's the most horrifying part. Something out there already found the flood...or maybe the flood found them and used them to make a gravemind
@@pvt.jonwallace he said about the story secuence, in level 6 is where the flood must appear for first time but since the flood appeared in level 1 (map 1) then the story of level 2 to level 6 must be edited.
ah of course, so far there's only two levels available...whether the author makes an entire campaign overhaul is up in the air, I am too wondering how Guilty Spark will be treated.
@christophercalabro347 I've been using the halo 1 AR since it came out. If you burst it. You can hit targets at range. Look at how the marines fire with it. Point blank hold the trigger. It had a skill ceiling lol
I get the player is trying to show everything the mod has made changes to, but I swear you spend too much time looking at stuff that nobody cares about.
I think it’s the other way around. What’s the point of making video showcasing a mod play through if you just speedrun every encounter and don’t see all the things the mod even does?
@@connorking6852 Damn, it's been so long since I've seen this video, I forgot most of what I saw. What I was trying to point out is the guy looking at the floors and corners like they're anything new we're supposed to see. Looking at the flood mod aspects were great, but looking at something we haven't already seen already was just a bore.

"Grab a gun, point the loud end at the gribbly things."
Wow, this is like a more refined version of that super old Gearbox Halo PC mod that replaced all the covenant with human flood. Great stuff!
Damn such an awesome Flood introduction. Kudos to the mod author.
indeed, he really pulled it off

You can’t shoot the flood form off once it already attaches sadly
