Man, looking at how the flood's image improved between Halo 1 and 2, the flood in Halo 3 are gonna look so frigin scary....WOOT!

Anyway, first time I encountered the Flood was with my friend in Halo 2. I started freaking out even before the encounter when you go through that room with the glass floor. I was like "Mac, wtf was that?! Are we gonna fight that?" He just said to be ready and laughed to himself...moments later I witnessed a flood infecting a dead body and animating it only to turn on me before it got shot.

Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you said could never be done.

Am I the only one who was calm? I just sprayed the infection forms with AR ammo. Didn't take too long. The Elite combat forms scared me though.

I did the same thing....until I saw the Combat, Human, and Carrier forms, then I was like "WTF!?!?!?!" and I ran all over I think...It's been a while since I played Halo and that level for the first time.

I was like, "Ha, those puny things?!" But then when I saw what they could do with the dead bodies, I was like "I;m getting the -blam!- out of here!"

When I saw the infection forms I was thinking "lololololololololollllooololololoolololololololol" as I mowed them down with my AR.

But then the Human and Elite forms came, I was like "WTF?! RUN!!!"

I was in Halo 2 with my friend and I was like "Ahaha.. This is easy" shotgunning the weaker ones, but when a stronger one came up behind him, and killed him. I sat theer staring at his corpse for a while before spinning around to face my demise...

When I first seen them, I was just like what the hell. Just what I needed, something more ugly than the things i'm fighting now. But when I fought them, boom they were easy no prob. Its just when they sneek on you is when they scared me. And chances are I died.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

I got into my "fear mode". My nerve shuts down and I can't feel my legs no my hips. I get very tense.

When I first started 343 Guilty Spark i thought okay go find Keyes, whatever. But when I went over to the crashed pelican and I heard "...new kind of Covenant..." I thought what new Covenant? So I'm going towards the structure and I see ARs shootin up the grunts so Marines cool, yeah, whatever, but I look around--no Marines--weird. So I go in and I come across the dude with the pistol and he scared the crap outta me but I listened to him. One thing he said creeped me out where he said "You're not turnin me into one o those things!"??? Then i see Jenkins' video, and thought thats nothin! And I killed all the little infections but when they break the door I came in through I see a frickin fat brown really fast creepy thing running at me and I was like "ZOMG ZOMBEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!"

My right eye closed a little and my left eye opened wide....I took a deep breath...grunted..and waited for the "flood"...when they appeared, I was happy to see that they were small and numerous...when I saw the combat forms I just kept on shooting till I could study them...when I saw a infection form, I was turning a corner and it was just there!! I reacted by hitting the melee button.....oops!!!

the first time i played i accidentaly clicked the a button when he was openingthe door in the cutscene so, i didnt know what was going on, and i just stared at the infection forms as they jumped at me (aw they like me), then i respawned and waisted alot o ammo, the funniest part was the carrier forms (i call them outer space potato men) i laughed my ass off, especialy cus theyre tentacles wiggle.

I thought of Starship Troopers, not for anything other than the sheer volume of flood coming at me. I just remember shooting and when the door finally unlocked, I ran out, paused the game and set the controller down for a second to notice my hands were shaking some. It was, without a doubt, a bit unnerving.
