Yeah, for sure. The flood is one of my most vivid memories in gaming (and I didn't even play the game until years after it had come out, around Halo 3 days I think).

Many games since (including Destiny) have tried to recreate that feeling of an oppressive enemy that you can't defeat, only push back or cut a temporary swathe through. But no one comes close to Halo.

I think being an RPG really subverts the sense of terror delivered in Halo. You know every enemy will become a pushover when you come back to this content later when you're over-levelled.
