  The idea of having the flood mimic someone’s family or friends is a really interesting idea. I hope we do get a flood horror game eventually and it incorporates this kind of psychological horror, I feel like there’s a lot of room for writing like that which we haven’t seen

  The atmosphere must be completely dire. You are a clueless small human, fighting an unknown horrific enemy, keeping it inside the continent, while earth is invaded by the covenant. You know next to nothing about what is going on. <br>Everything is lost. Final stand on earth. <br><br>In the end of the story, Africa is glassed, UNSC is defeated on the ground. <br>In the very last mission you see the Covenant carrier flying through the portal. Distant radio chatter of people crying, shouting and praying. The last hope for everyone.

  I’m not 100% sure, but nobody except a few people in the UNSC know about the flood in 2552. <br>The ODSTs, their commanders etc don’t know what they are in for.

  I&apos;m on board with the concept of an ODST horror game. I think the events of Floodgate with the flood on Earth is a good spot for it. But having the ODSTs deploy during the events of The Storm in support of John-117&apos;s mission to destroy the Prophet of Truth&apos;s anti-air infrastructure is a more natural way to insert the ODSTs into the setting than a suicide mission to a mcguffin. It also allows the player to fight the Prophet&apos;s forces as ODSTs, establishing the power level of the ODSTs compared to the tougher Brutes, this can then be used to make the flood scarier because these hard as nails enemies go down easily against the new foe.<br><br>It also gives you a natural progression through the game as you experience Earth without the flood, the early infection, the rapid spread of the infection and eventually have to flee the glassing.<br><br>Your script is good, but it&apos;s front loading a lot of exposition because it&apos;s starting from a complex situation. You&apos;re introducing characters (Hood &amp; Shipmaster), a problem (flood have landed on Earth), a solution (glass the region) and the complication to the solution (the jamming) all at the same time. You then introduce the actual protagonists (the squad), a problem (We need to shut down the jamming) and there&apos;s the ensuing complication. From the intro I would cut Lord Hood, the Shipmaster and Miranda. The sergeant walks in, relays the orders (mentioning Lord Hood), tells the squad to lock and load it&apos;s time to drop. Sprinkle a couple of character beats as they get in the pods and drop and that&apos;s all you need.<br><br>There&apos;s a lot of good ideas there.<br><br>One thing that I would prefer is instead of having custscenes of significant length (such as Angel&apos;s at the start of the Hospital) I would much rather play through that exposition.<br><br>Best of luck with your scripts!

  GET THIS MAN TO 10K!<br><br>Also, love the idea of delving more into the psychological trickery and mind warping stuff that the Gravemind can do. One of my favourite things about the Flood in H3 is how they talk in unison sometimes. Obviously, it&apos;s the Gravemind&apos;s voice coming through, but there&apos;s nothing saying that it can&apos;t call upon the voices of other people it&apos;s consumed. It seemed to be able to use Cortana&apos;s voice to get at Chief throughout the campaign. Great concept!
