I finished The Flood. Now it's on to First Strike. So, there are a couple of things I never knew. One, I didn't realize that a person being infected by flood, at least for a short period, retained consciousness or cognitive thinking. Probably my favorite parts of the book were following Keyes and Jenkins' thoughts/actions while infected. Shoot, they could even talk - sort of. That was rather fascinating to me. I also had no idea that hell jumpers tried to take the Truth and Reconciliation off of Halo to escape, and Mckay sacrificed herself and the entire crew to prevent the Flood from spreading to earth. Silva was a dick. Didn't like him at all. Oh also, my favorite minor character in the book was the grunt, Yayap. We would have been good friends lol.
EDIT:
I've been listening to halo music at work again, and finding that there are more and more tracks that I like. Originally, my favorite tracks were Covenant Dance from Halo: CE and Peril from Halo 2, but I've expanded my playlists. Impend from Halo 2 is great as well as Mombasa Suite. I'm enjoying several Halo 3 tracks too. Inevitably, if I'm listening to stuff on youtube, it randomly switches over to Halo: Reach music, which while not bad, is really slow and depressing. I prefer the more upbeat songs. Under Cover of Night is a classic a Walk in the Woods is very chill, but in a good way.
Oh yeah the pistol is so good. Highly controversial when discussing the different halo games, because some people hate it. Personally, though, I love it. I've been playing almost nothing but halo ce 4v4 slayer games through the match composer and have not tired of it. Now that i've started reading the books, I'm having an itch to replay the campaigns. I think, even though Reach is one of my lesser favorite games, I'd like to replay it as well, having read The Fall of Reach recently.Been screwing around with mcc just to play the old Bungie games again. I forgot how incredible that halo 1 handcanon is. It’s stupid OP but fun as hell
I still haven’t played reach. I will.
