I remember fighting those icky and nasty FLOOD aliens for the first time and they scared the $#!* outta me. HAHA never play HALO 1 in the dark or HALO 2 in the dark for that matter.

I freaked the first time i saw them too. I hate scary movies, and it was like having to play out of one. Kinda reminded me of Resident Evil (which i never have/will play). I find that the best way to eliminate your fears is to face them with a full load of grenades, a shotgun, and a weapon of your choice.

Just shoot them in the face and run around them in circles. It's funny, they get confused and shoot rockets and stuff at each other.

I would've loved to not know about them in advance. Damn OXM.

Yeah, that kind of ruined the whole surprise, didn't it? I mean, why reveal the big plot twist and basically tell everyone the secret new enemy...I never read that mag anymore :(

Agreed though. The first time I saw them, I knew I'd be facing them, but the first time...I spent a long time in 343GS because they freaked me out so much. They'd run at me and I'd run away! Not to mention that the level itself was pretty creepy and confusing, anyway.

Heyyo,

Or, she could be a character from Bungie's game called "Oni"... :P

Lolz, w00tage n' stuff...

Anywho, they're not too scary, for the ones that are humans or elites, just blow off their arms, and leave them be. Enemy's only respawn once one of them die. So if you shoot off all their arms (it's possible), then you can run around that area without having to worry aboot getting slapped around.

I've played scarier games. Doom 3's plenty scary, soo dark.. the shadows... THE SHADOWS!!!! lol..

By the time I watched it on PC I had seen it many many times on the xbox version but it is a little scary.

Heyyo,

The only way for them to be really scary to me now, is if they were pink, like those demons on the original doom's (1 and 2)... that pink thing freaks me out every time... I guess pink's such an inhumaine color it's just scary or something... or I have some kindof psycological problems... probably both, lol...

  • 01.14.2005 10:58 PM PDT

Heh, I remember thinking the infected elites were just big bunches of flood infects (popcorn flood) grouped together. That was when I first got the game of course. A few minutes later I took a look at one of the "dead" flood and noticed the hoof.

i think the scariest part of the flood is the growling stomach type of sound, it freaks me out. but it was really funny, i was watching my friend play and he actually wet himself when he found the flood!

I hate the flood, they're so annoying because 1) they lack character 2) they get up after you kill them 3) they're stupid, the AI is basically 'run towards player, loop' they're only a threat coz of weight of numbers. Not like the covenant, they're worthy of fighting. you can be inventive and have fun fighting covenant, killing flood is just repetitive and monotonous.
I so strongly hoped they wouldn't be in Halo 2... just one of my many disappointments.

The flood in Halo 2 just appear suddenly. In Halo (1) they actually add to the story instead of just appearing.

First time i played a level with Flood in it was in the middle of the night, so that was kinda freaky. Especilly the 343 Guilty Spark and The Library. But the shotgun soon fix's all you Flood problems. :)
