I suddenly had inspiration for an encounter that could’ve been had in Halo 4, in the form of earlier iterations of the rampancy UI affect.
Imagine moving through a slightly unnerving location; it’s dark, and cramped. That distortion effect begins to occur that messes with your UI(with the added sound-effects from that video) Cortana’s being unresponsive to the Chief, who gets more and more worried as you work through this dark, cramped, unnervingly calm location with Cortana being so very unresponsive… and in the end, nothing happens. Cortana recovers, no enemies are encountered for that brief period, and a brief conversation is had between the Chief and Cortana.
Just imagine that for a moment. It not only emphasizes just how terrifying Cortana’s plight is, but it also gives a fair bit of tension and worry for the player; tension and worry being one of the bigger parts of fear, and not the actual event it builds up to.

That would have been a good idea to put into the campaign. But where in the campaign would they have put it? Or would you rather they add a new mission to fit your idea in?

It could really fit in anywhere, it’d just be a short section of a level, probably either the more ‘isolated’ section of Reclaimer, or Shutdown.
Just listening to that static was crazy!
Sounds like a pretty neat idea.
