Flood

You've got to have the Covenant.

You've got to have the Flood.

but I mean, could they essentially start with like blue team and maybe master chiefs adventures with blue team before they delve into, you know, the covenant war or before, I mean like the covenant and like the, you know, the halo one and the rings.

And I guess it all depends on where they start.

I know the Sangheili and Letgo Lo and the different aliens.

I know bits and pieces about it.

I know what the Flood are.

I know what they do.

you kind of want as many characters to be on the table to be killed off as possible because that's what's really going to help drive the horror home.

And funnily enough, like the main character, you know, going with Marvin Babuto, you already know that he dies because that's, you know, how you were introduced to him in Halo the Flood.

So you already know that, oh, like one of these characters is not making it to the end.

So there's this inherent tension in what's going to happen to the rest of these complete newcomers.

The hive.

Flood?

Flood.

Flood, thank

you.

Yeah, the swarm, the hive, and the hiss are all in different cases.

And then we cut to Keyes and Johnson, and they are both...

They're still being held captive, and they get delivered to the two remaining prophets.

...

Flood level.

Love that level.

There's just-

Yeah

...

so many Flood.

I, I, it really stood out to me as being like-

30 seconds, folks.

If you read the books, I have, Zeta Halo is where the Flood were created, right? If you wanted to make a 14 to 20-hour experience that had a studio of, I don't know, 200 people, and you can make it in potentially, um, I don't know, two years, two and a half years.

Make it like A- Alien: Isolation but with the Flood in Halo.

Scientists left behind, "Oh, no.

What do I do? I'm not a marine." But you have to escape the Flood, right? You have to get off the base.

You find a handgun.

You find a pulse rifle, right? Well, not an actual pulse rifle, but you know what I mean.

You find one of the, one of the guns from Halo, and not, I'm not talking about the guy becomes a sniper expert and he's picking off Flood left, right, and center.

I might go with Gears of War series because stuff like Lambit, Zombies, and the Sires experiments are fairly creepy.

Creepier than the Flood and Halo.

I haven't played a ton of horror games.

You know what, Scotty? Neither have I.

I liked, I liked the, a lot of the things they tried to do.

with, like, you know, the Flood.

They used the Halo 3 Flood designs and stuff like that and the animations for that.

They used Halo Reach's game engine for most of this stuff.

They really emphasized the difference between missions because, like, in the original game, you would go from, like...

When you run back through the snowy areas after the Flood got released, spoiler alert for 20-year-old game, they, like...

They absolutely made it show the flood was spreading throughout the thing, which I like.

This is a nice little environmental touch.

For all you lore heads out there.

Our primary enemies we're fighting are the Covenant and the Flood.

The engine, we use proprietary Bungeon engine.

I don't know why we have all this information.

He enters a mysterious facility.

He finds evidence of something horrific.

The Flood are released into the game.

Chief meets the Monitor of Installation 4, and he explains that the Flood are containment breach, and Spark recruits Chief to retrieve Halo's index.
