The fight against Truth continues, as he brings with him a legion on that enemy hated by both humanity and the Covenant.
That’s right: The Flood has made contact with Earth.
Out of all the Flood-related levels I’ve played in the trilogy up until now, this is definitely the best of the bunch. It’s paced well while establishing the threat and what it can do for those who haven’t played the first two games in the series. The new enemy types also give these encounters a much more dynamic structure than the monotonous slogs we’ve received prior.
My attention was also drawn to the fact that the Elites were finally fighting alongside us in order to defeat a mutual threat. It felt good to see the two sides cooperating as they realize there’s more to gain from that than fighting against each other.
Even 343 Guilty Spark has joined this alliance of ours. I fully expect him to betray us at some point, but there’s a distinct “Gang’s All Here” vibe that I’m getting from all of this.
It’s exactly what I would want to see from the finale to a trilogy like this.
