They did such a great job building up the suspense of the part where you first fight the flood I was scared to death. Just after you watched the movie from Jenkins helmet and the took out everybody you have hundreds of them just trying to swarm you. It was one of my favorite parts of the game!

Sorry, didn't know you had a thread about this. Where is it I'll go post there. That was just a defining moment of the game for me and wanted to hear other peoples thoughts about it. Didn't mean to intrude

It hit me like a ton of bricks. Here my dad and I were pumped and ready to kill more stinkies (elites; we didn't know their names at that point) and Foehammer just dumps us in the bog. I was scared.

We went down into the structure with a "so far same old same old" attitude (wich we liked). Then we entered the "chamber". The first little onion sprout popped out and looked at me and started moving towards us. Initially I thought "Ooow look; it likes me... wtf! RUUUN!" It was pathetic. We were practically tripping over eachother to get out of there. Then the Onion heads (Combat forms) came.

We eventually exhausted most our ammo and were stranded on the top deck with the broken bridge (door right to the left of us but we were too confused to know wich way was up). It kinda had this Resident Evil feel. All we could do was look down at them and they'd look up at us. We were literally stuck up there for a good 15 minutes. Then one of the human flood attacked us. I scoped in on it's body with my pistol and realized what it was; I was kinda shocked. If you look the detail in the corpse (bones, muscle, flesh, etc) is fairly high. It creaped me out because back then I had zero tolerence for that kinda stuff. We were so relieved to get out of 343GS and so horrified when we entered the Library. The Puffdaddies shook us up quite a bit. There were a lot of suicides before we realized that throwing the grenade BEHIND them was bad.

Three years later I love revisiting the halls of the Library; brings back memories of my first few days playing Halo (kinda has this "good ol' days" feel). The Flood's like wine; it betters with age and having a partner make their levels a hell of a lot more fun.

I am with you buggy. Totally freaked out. I shot one and i thought it was like a moving grenade. So we kept our distance from them for like the first 2 rooms before we realised they were partially harmless,

I shot it and it fell down, "They aren't bad." Then the thing got up and charged at me, "WTF?"

The spot where they first come out and swarm at you still brings chills to my spine, even though i've played it a hundred times

Yea I loved that too. What I always do is take a hard right off the top of the bridge and run past the door to the left and then turn left and hide. It triggers the door to open so the flood can see the Elites before me. Then I let them duke it out. I root for the covies but usually the flood win because the grunts miss their fuel shots and blow up their buddies.

Estne volumen in toga an solum tibi libet me videre?

Nothing suits me like a suit.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

HOLY ***T!! I guess i shoudlnt have shot the wall for about 5 minutes and waster my ammo... i restarted the level, but still, i was freaked out. They got up after you shot them.

I thought, why is the same damn topic being repeated over and over? Too bad there's nothing left to talk about in this lonely sub-forum... :'(

Yea. If only everyone came into this lonely damn sub-forum as well read as Yutaka541. Then there'd be not need for it. God, such arrogance is stupifying.

  • 06.08.2007 11:04 PM PDT

Me and my fellow warriors in the Covenent did not fear such vermin. However the only time a slight chill happened to run up my back. Was when we were playing Keyes. Running in the dark with your flashlight battery out is not cool.

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.

Same here, but I didn't know they were enemies until one came close to me and then I either looked at my motion sensor or aimed a weapon at it and the crosshair turned red, but then I fired at it and it exploded, and that's when they all came out. But yeah, anything but the little infection forms scared the crap out of me.

If im low on ammo, i let the covies and flood duke it out, but usually im looking for some fun, so i stand at the top of the ramp, and when the flood come at me, i throw grenades and shoot the carrier forms. explosive goodies all around, then when im out of grenades, i simply fire my AR into the mass of flood in front of me, when im out or AR ammo, i pump a few shotgun shells into them and keep swapping weps. it so awesome, u slowly get pushed back, and when u kill the last flood ur standing at the back of the platform, but nowadays i pride myself on not moving from the top of the ramp AT ALL, u totally feel like death himself standing there handing out generous portions of firery demise

When I first saw them, I thought "who the flaming heck?" before firing a few rounds and killing the little floodlings. I proceeded to think that they weren't so tough and literally charged at them assault rifle blazing. Then I suddenly came face to face with an exploding flood carrier......
