First Impressions: Halo PC

[Walkiry]

While that is kinda cheap, I rationalized it as the Flood assimilating the Covenant and Marines you left behind.  After all, the Master-Chief is Space Rambo, but even he can't kill every Covenant on Halo.  There are (were?) undoubtably some that you bypassed and/or plain didn't encounter.

Oh no, I can understand that perfectly, like for example when covenant forces show up in a place you had cleaned before in their ship through a door/shaft/whatever you couldn't check or open. The flood itself, in the library, usually comes through openings to the surface in vast quantities, even in places you had passed already.

What I hated was that they appeared out of nowhere. It was in these narrow passages that let you go under the giant doors that don't open completely, and in those there was simply no way they could have run in one second all the way from their "respawning points" so to speak.

At least I only found that a couple of times, it's not all over the place ;)

I was playing it safe with the elites and assuming their shields do charge up. good to know for sure :)
