Does any Flood related media in Halo, including the og trilogy, count as horror?

Halo: CE Anniversary is somehow worse than Halo 4, and I don't even know how.
I don't know if it's something with my game, or if it's on all versions of it, but there's a button you can press on a xbox controller that changes the graphics from high (good looking), to low (trapazoidy)
It might not seem like a big deal, but the real problem is that if you're to switch to low graphics, it will show you all the correct hit boxes for objects, whilst if you switch to high graphics, it shows you nothing but you still can't shoot through it.
That's not them only bad thing about it, it's also ridiculously hard
like the first half of the game is easy, but once you get to 'Two Betrayals' it gets harder, and around halfway through it gets even harder.
I can't stress how much I hate it.
TLDR; Low graphics better hit boxes, incredibly hard difficulty halfway through the game.

Story Saturday — Chief's Close Call
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
On Installation 04, John-117 had a particularly close call with the Flood. A pod infector latched onto his back, burrowing into the seams of his Mark V armor. Before it could infect him, Cortana overloaded his shields, killing the Flood form.

Does Chief know that Arbiter was behind the fall of Reach?
This is a question that I'm sure has crossed a few people's minds, especially if you're someone who enjoys the dynamic that Chief and Arby share.
Reach was basically Chief's home; he grew up there, he was trained to be a Spartan there. That planet holds a lot of fond memories for him, and losing it to the Covenant was a devastating blow that only made him all the more angry towards them. So, you can imagine that he would be pissed if he ever came face to face with the one responsible. But when he did, there was no malice beyond shoving a magnum in Arbiter's mouth. They're good allies by the end of H3, so, does he know?
Well, the short answer is: yes. He absolutely does.
So, the real question here is: when did he know?
In order to answer that, we first need to look at what confirmed Chief's knowledge of the Arbiter's dark past in the first place.
Halo 2 Anniversary introduced terminals that gave lore fanatics incredibly juicy details about the in-game universe, and the very first one on Cairo Station is a report by Jameson Locke that details EVERY major crime committed by Thel 'Vadamee. Upon opening up the terminal, we are greeted by this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A "blink and you’ll miss it” detail that I think a lot of people's eyes glaze over upon first watch. Now, I know what you're probably thinking - "Oh, he's viewing this report on Cairo, so he knew this back in Halo 2 then!" Ah ah ah, not so fast.
Locke specifies the date of the report as September 26 2552, but the events of Reach and the original trilogy all took place two months prior in July - if you remember how Halo 3 ended, that means that Chief is stranded in space by the time Semptember rolls around. Unless he has time travelling powers, there’s no way he’s reading a report from the future on Cairo, especially while it’s under attack. 
So, that said, when did Chief have a chance to read the report? 
Well, the answer is actually very simple: directly after the end of Halo 4.
If you need a refresher, Chief was thrown right into the conflict with the Didact from the beginning of the game, and it was non-stop action for him ever since. However, the ending cutscene of the game shows us his armour being removed (presumably for repairs), and he gets his first real downtime in years. This is when we can best assume that he found the report.
Now, allow me to paint you a picture.
Chief has just come back from defeating the Didact, but in the process he’s lost his closest friend. Fresh out of his armour and knee-deep in grief, he seeks to distract himself by digging through some files to find out what he’s missed. The last thing he remembers before entering cryosleep four years ago is discovering that the Foward Unto Dawn was torn in half, and the Arbiter was nowhere to be found. So, what happened to him? Did he survive? Is Chief’s newfound ally okay?
The database has several files listed under “The Arbiter”, but he ignores each in favour of one that immediately catches his attention, marked by ONI as highly classified.
He came looking for a distraction, but found only anger instead.
For the entirety of his time between the end of Halo 4 and during Halo 5, Chief had been dealing with his grief over Cortana and the indirect betrayal of someone he once trusted. Repressing those feelings led him to take on mission after mission back-to-back without rest, so much to the point that even ONI noticed. Blue Team was thankfully there for him through it all, but there wasn’t much that even they could do for him beyond supporting him. 
Fast forward to the end cutscene of Halo 5 - Chief doesn’t see Arbiter until he’s lost Cortana again. He failed to save her again. He’s at his lowest, the worst he’s ever felt, and there’s little anyone can do to cheer him up, if they can even tell he’s hurting.
But then in comes Arbiter, who - thanks to one of the books - provides the perfect distraction, taking Chief off to the side to have their first real conversation together, reminiscing about the past and catching up with each other. Chief gets to see how far Arbiter has come now, and just how much he still wants to do better. In the midst of Chief’s pain and guilt, he probably no longer has the energy to be angry, and he can see how holding a grudge against the Arbiter will benefit no one.
Forgiveness may not be in the cards just yet, and maybe one day Chief will get closure for the things Arbiter has done to him and millions of others, but for now, Arbiter can still inspire him to keep fighting, and he’ll value their alliance for as long as it lasts.
EDIT:
So I appear to stand corrected and have been informed that the original trilogy does NOT take place in July (Halopedia is the most convoluted rabbit hole I s2g) - CE takes place in September, and then Halo 2 starts in October with Halo 3 ending in December.
That complicates my theory a little BUT my point still stands that Chief is a busy guy and wouldn’t have read the report on Cairo while it was under attack (if you take accessing it during gameplay as canon). He also wouldn’t have an incentive to go looking for the information nor would he even know what to look for until Halo 4. There’s also a possibility that he was briefed about Thel at some point prior to H2, but wouldn’t have been able to make the connection that the silver-armoured elite he briefly met via the Gravemind and then fought alongside later was Thel. He just knew him as “The Arbiter”.
Either way, he still knows regardless, and it’s incredibly fun to think about the ramifications thereafter.

It's interesting that halo conservatives call people who like things that aren't the holy pentagon of halo (CE,2,3,ODST and Reach) shills, because their views are so strong that they cannot imagine someone freely disagreeing with them so they choose to believe that people who do disagre with them really agree with them but are payed to say otherwise

Did You Know that screenshots of the maps Beaver Creek, Damnation, Hang 'em High, Headlong, Prisoner, and Timberland can be found hidden in their respective Halo: Reach remakes from the Anniversary Map Pack?

While the screenshots of Beaver Creek, Damnation, and Headlong are hidden outside of the play area, the screenshots of Hang 'em High, Timberland, and Prisoner are hidden on the floor, inside a gravity lift shaft, and beneath a catwalk, respectively.
