Despues de un par de niveles que no estuvieron nada mal, con buena accion y unas secciones bien interesantes creo que he llegado al nivel en donde decidi dejar de jugar este juego de niño, Halo 2 tiene varias secciones en donde parece mas un survival horror que un videojuego de accion espacial, esta en particular hubieron varias secciones en donde estoy seguro no iba a pasar cuando tenia 6 años, simplemente demasiado oscuro y tetrico todo, me recuerda tambien a cuando pude probar Bioshock y de inmediato lo rechaze por todo lo lugubre del ambiente, era un tiempo en donde solo jugaba los titulos basicos de Nintendo pero ahora que soy todo un hombre me toca revivir mis viejos miedos y de una vez por todas pasar este juego, que por cierto es bastante complicado incluso en las dificultades mas standard, la cantidad de enemigos que te lanzan asi como la duracion de cada uno de los niveles, esta vez no fue diferente.
Comenzando el nivel y no habian pasado ni dos minutos cuando ya perdi a todos mis refuerzos gracias a unos robots defensores del lugar, divertidamente tambien estos robots juegan a mi favor mas adelante pero ahora tenemos una mision, infiltrarnos en la biblioteca infestada y conseguir una de las llaves que pueden activar el Halo, asi que pan comido, al menos para el Master Chief, solo que el justo ahora esta en las profundidades del mar asi que le toca al Covenant promedio saltar a la accion, nos deshacemos de algunas de estas torretas y seguimos bajando hasta los niveles mas reconditos de esta plataforma y nos vamos encontrando con algunos de los vestigios de los flood, al parecer tambien un parte del ejercito de los humanos ha tratado de pasar estos pasillos primero pero ahora solo son un maldito estorbo para mi, veran, los floods son parasitos que se alimentan de los cuerpos de otros seres y tienen la capacidad de dar vida a cualquier cuerpo muerto asi que ahi me tienen.
Yo en un pasillo lleno de cadaveres y una horda de parasitos floods en camino para tomar esos cuerpos y usarlos contra mi, no tenia ningun refuerzo que me ayudase asi que creo que fue por voluntad y mucha suerte que inicie un tiroteo y avance lentamente por los pasillos, incluso habian de las armas que me gustan asi que agarre primero un fusil de asalto y despues dos pistolas magnum para, con ayuda del siempre presente don del protagonista, hacerles frente a toda esta horda, cuando se acabo la municion de las pistolas en una de las zonas llenas de floods decidi cambiar a una escopeta ya que note que son mas efectivas para volar cabezas y hay mucha mas municion en el camino.
Pase por algunos de estos pasillos infestados y con una neblina espesa (por eso es que digo que este nivel es puro survival horror) para llegar zonas abiertas en donde persistia esta niebla pero tenia un poco mas de espacio para maniobra y acabar con todos, la escopeta probo ser el MVP de esta mision ya que de un solo tiro podia tanto bajar varios de estos parasitos como tambien los huesped que tenian, era bastante efectiva en su trabajo y me ayudo a mantener a una tropa que me habia encontrado en la entrada de uno de estos pasillos, aunque no por mucho claro porque estas compañias nunca duran lo que se supone deben durar, tambien he de agregar que este nivel es demasiado largo, hay muchos pasillos que juraria tenian el mismo diseño pero siempre se encargaban de tener varias hordas para asustarme en medio de la neblina, hubieron varios jumpscares en el medio pero al fin llegue a un pasillo despejado en donde sabia que me otorgarian un checkpoint, estaba planteandome dejar la sesion ahi pero de verdad queria terminar y aunque sea ver una cinematica.
Finalmente estaba en una zona despejada y ahora si parecia que iba a tener un refuerzo decente que me hiciera la vida mas facil, aqui entrabamos en una nueva zona que debiamos superar lo mas rapido posible ya que los floods no paraban de llegar, seguia teniendo la escopeta en una mano y decidi agregar otro fusil de combate para disparos de mediano alcance ya que algunos de estos huespedes tenian armas y de tan solo unos disparos podian bajarme el escudo, estuve varios minutos limpiando esta zona con mi equipo y al fin llegamos a uno de los primeros puntos de control mayores, y con ello la cinematica, aunque es solo una de relleno ya que tenemos que seguir, aun no encontramos la llave pero yo decidi parar de grabar aca, la sesion me desgasto mas de lo que crei sobre todo con esos pasillos infestados de floods, espero que para la proxima ya pueda completarlo.

After a couple of levels that were not bad at all, with good action and some interesting sections I think I have reached the level where I decided to stop playing this game as a kid, Halo 2 has several sections where it seems more like a survival horror than a space action game, this one in particular there were several sections where I'm sure I was not going to pass when I was 6 years old, just too dark and tetric everything, It reminds me also of when I could try Bioshock and I immediately rejected it for all the lugubrious environment, it was a time where I only played the basic Nintendo titles but now that I'm a man I have to relive my old fears and once and for all pass this game, which by the way is quite complicated even in the most standard difficulties, the amount of enemies that throw you as well as the duration of each of the levels, this time was no different.
Starting the level and not even two minutes had passed when I lost all my reinforcements thanks to some robots defending the place, amusingly also these robots play in my favor later but now we have a mission, infiltrate the infested library and get one of the keys that can activate the Halo, so a piece of cake, at least for the Master Chief, only that the just now is in the depths of the sea so it's up to the average Covenant jump into action, We get rid of some of these turrets and continue down to the deepest levels of this platform and we are finding some of the remains of the flood, apparently also a part of the army of humans has tried to pass these corridors first but now they are just a damn nuisance for me, you see, the floods are parasites that feed on the bodies of other beings and have the ability to give life to any dead body so there I am.
Me in a corridor full of corpses and a horde of flood parasites on their way to take those bodies and use them against me, I had no reinforcement to help me so I think it was by will and a lot of luck that I started a firefight and slowly advanced through the corridors, there were even some of the weapons I like so I grabbed first an assault rifle and then two magnum pistols to, with the help of the ever-present gift of the protagonist, to face all this horde, when the pistols ran out of ammo in one of the areas full of floods I decided to switch to a shotgun as I noticed that they are more effective at blowing heads off and there is much more ammo on the way.
I went through some of these infested corridors and with a thick fog (that's why I say that this level is pure survival horror) to reach open areas where this fog persisted but I had a little more room to maneuver and finish them all, the shotgun proved to be the MVP of this mission because in one shot I could both lower several of these parasites and also the hosts they had, it was quite effective in its work and helped me to keep a troop that I had found at the entrance of one of these corridors, although not for long of course because these companies never last as long as they are supposed to last, I must also add that this level is too long, there are many corridors that I swear had the same design but always took care to have several hordes to scare me in the middle of the fog, there were several jumpscares in the middle but finally reached a clear corridor where I knew I would be awarded a checkpoint, I was considering leaving the session there but I really wanted to finish and even if it was to see a cinematic.
Finally I was in a clear zone and now it seemed that I was going to have a decent reinforcement that would make my life easier, here we entered a new zone that we had to overcome as fast as possible because the floods didn't stop coming, I still had the shotgun in one hand and I decided to add another combat rifle for medium range shots because some of these guests had guns and with just a few shots they could take down my shield, I spent several minutes cleaning this area with my team and finally we reached one of the first major checkpoints, and with it the cinematic, although it is only a filler as we have to continue, we still do not find the key but I decided to stop recording here, the session wore me out more than I thought especially with those flood infested corridors, I hope that for the next one I can complete it.
Yeey you made it to the end of the post :) thanks for joining me today!
