The Flood gets very boring from a gameplay perspective.

I liked the Flood missions as a kid because they were scary, and I like the flood as a concept/story element. But the tedious gameplay becomes grueling on repeated playthroughs.

>fight endless spawning swarm enemies until you rush past an invisible wall that makes them stop spawning
>drop into a room full of carriers and have your shields insta dropped
>turn corner and have rocket flood murder you instantly

I love Halo 1, still my favorite and this isn't an issue if you just play through the game once. But trying to go for all the achievements and having to play 343, The Library, Two Betrayals, Keyes, it's hell.

Halo 4? Beating Halo 4 on Legendary was actually the easiest game to beat IMO.

Those guya are easy, just use the dual rifle to spray the trash down and then ads to head shot the knights. Almost as easy as the flood if you use back pack reloading.

Agreed. Kinda like OG Half Life, the gameplay momentum and variety of the game runs out of gas by the end. More under-standable once you know that the Halo 1's development cycle was crunched in a year.

I would recommend the spv3 mod for the original Halo P.C release (It fixed the flood to a degree); but it has even worse difficulty spikes at points.

They're easy yes, but they're also boring to fight IMO.

I actually enjoy the flood for some reason.

Halo CE and 2's flood are pretty much the same, 3 had more forms and mechanics for them which made them more interesting to fight against.

Also who thought it would be a good idea to give the flood rocket launchers

I didnt like fighting flood when i was younger...mainly because they were scary to me back then
Now however

I love fighting flood :D on legendary...one wrong move and you are swarmed...
always moving
always shooting
using armless floods as fire cover
using onion heads as living grenades :D

I’m playing this for the first time... The Flood is so damned tedious that I am desperately wanting to cheat. Unfortunately, there seem to be no cheats for the MacSoft Mac OS port of Halo. The console is useless.

Every game, even good ones, has some ridiculously tedious or imbalanced segment. I don’t mind a bit of a challenge but I become irritated and bored with so many games. It’s just not fun. If I’m angry at a game, then it’s no longer entertainment. Why play?
