[thevibezone]

This video doesn't describe the 8 different times my friend ended up killing Sgt. Johnson, which is definitely canon

[VariksTheLast]

Zuka: You took everything from me!

Chief with a SPNKR: *I don't even know who you are.*

[thatbrtshguy]

Imagine fireteam raven turned into a fps game. Like a halo 1 ODST if you

[zacherybelcher]

That's hilarious that an elite who's life is focused around killing you is the one I always kill with a rocket at the last elevator in the game

[MathMasterism]

6:53 This scene in Halo the Flood, was such a badass moment for Keyes. The dude calmly asks a Marine's for his sidearm, examines it for a minute, then without a word suddenly fires it at seemingly nothing, only for a dead elite to suddenly materialize inside the pod.

[therookie]

Respect for Sergeant Marvin Mobuto. He made it so far when Spark recruited him to retrieve the Index, he was in sight of it, but then he was finally killed by the Flood. He wasn't a Spartan, or even an ODST, just a normal Marine who managed to make it to the top floor of the Library killing countless Flood before being killed himself. All that remained was a pile of flesh and his Dog Tags.

To quote what Chief said upon finding this:
"I didn't know you Sarge, but I sure as hell wished I had. You must have been one hardass son of bi***."

[hawks]

26:41: zuka: Ima gonna restor my honor
Cheif with a missle launcher: nah

[tehuselessguig]

honestly it took me this video to realize that they made Cortana stay in the control room during 343GS and The Library so that you could really be alone against the Flood and during the buildup of their introduction

[CometX-ing]

I'm glad that Dust and Echoes managed to make it off the ring.

[VNM-Venom]

Halo the Flood may not be my favorite book but I love how it made the battle of installation04 have more scale, there was a lot going on and I love it.

[echo]

Dang I didn’t know fireteam Raven all died on the ring, RIP, sounded like a badass group of ODSTs if you ask me.

[Dexieboi]

"I wanted them to include the shower scene because it was a humanizing moment for the master chief"
ya sure about that? Or did you secretly wish to take a shower with masterchief?

[fawnfever]

Oooooh I’m excited. This is probably my second favorite thing in all of Halo, second only to the battle for the Ark

[s-]

Replaying CE after reading the flood it's so fun, look it's zuka samamee! Oh, he's dead.
And the over dramatic dead of Sam the crewman.

[codeyvo]

I read Halo: The Flood, and at the time, I was almost confused whether the game was based on the book or the book was based on the game. The similarities in scenery and staging of the events made for a compelling read and it was one of the first times I've thoroughly enjoyed reading a novel.

[MistahFox]

Imagine if the Autumn actually received 343's hail. The entire Halo universe would be drastically different.

[sillyduck]

I think it’s kinda funny that there’s this huge battle going on in the ring and meanwhile master chief is kind of just doing his own thing XD

[cobalt-D]

A part of me always likes to imagine a tineline where the Covenant fleet didn't reach Installation 04 somehow, and Spark, for the first time in several thousand years, is able to talk to someone as a friend. He gives the Pillar of Autumn a tour of the Installation he's so proud of, the humans get to breathe for a moment at a safe place, and Spark, Cortana, and Captain Keyes get to catch up on thousands of years of lost history

[ryanschreck]

William dietz and Eric nylund were two of the best things to ever happen to halo

[Vash_Carrison]

Damn. Halo 2, ODST and Halo 3's timelines are gonna be like 2 hours combined.
