"Hoh boy, heavy -blam!-. Good thing I'm this badass robot-soldier-whatever guy with energy shields to protect me."

Honestly the really scary thing about the flood is when you fully realize it's power.

I absolutely freaked when I saw these horrific mutations of the human form. Took me a while to recover. Glad I did though!

I know that you are wrong

When I was 9-10 those things scared the S**T out of me. It took awhile for me to get out of that part of the level too. Man that level was scary.

i didnt play halo for 2 weeks, i was so scared :D

  • 11.30.2010 5:34 AM PDT

I currently am working on Halo Wars achievements. 4 to go.
I currently am working on Halo 2 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3:ODST achievements.
I currently have all Halo: Reach achievements.

I freaked out because there was so many of them! And it didn't help that I was confused about them, too...

i was not expecting it at all to turn into a total horror fest. i was terrified on that first level of them. and the Library was not a pretty sight for me.

  • 12.01.2010 4:15 PM PDT

Was a long time ago... But I'm pretty sure I shat my pants (considering I was only about ten when I first played the game).

I first met them on the Library, my brother plopped me in when he couldn't beat it. Arse hole.

Anyway, after seeing the things of nightmares, I crept back into the start of the level and hid in one of the boxes. I sat there afraid because I could hear them scuttling around, still.

Memories...

I was a little freaked out.

You've got three options in life: be good, get good or give up.

I remember finishing watching Jenkins video record and the initial attack and then saying "What are this things?" and thinking "RUN!!!!" and then bumping into the closed door. At that point i got a little scared.
The worst part was the first time i killed a combat form, i turned away,went up the ramp, found another two lurking at the exit and i ran back the way i came(didn't have a shotty the first time around) to find the same combat form i killed attacking me.I really didn't expect that!

wow either alot of you guys are exaggerating..or you are just -blam!-..its a game o.O

when i first seen the flood in halo ce. it was interesting and was wondering how difficult they might be. quickly learned the shotgun takes em right down lol

  • 12.04.2010 9:04 AM PDT

The moment Jenkin's video was finished I knew that I would have to fight a ton of them.(This was before realizing infection forms weren't instakills) I ran to the middle of the room, threw gernades at the opening swarm and mopped up the rest w/ my AR. It got really tense when that first combat form wouldn't die despite all the AR rounds being pumped into him. Then he got back up and slaped me silly. (I was so glad to find a shotgun in that labrinth) Then came the point with lift that had blood smeared all over the walls. My heart sunk. Finally, when I clawed my way to the top, there were a bunch of Marines. I knew they wouldn't stand a chance against the small ones. So I spent the next 30 min. trying to mow down popcorn so the marines wouldn't get infected. I was sucessful up to the point where the flood poured down both flanks near the LZ. There was no way of me saving them from that mess.

I also had a hard time firing at the covenent when the flood appeared. They may not have stood a chance, but I wasn't about to deny them their ability to resist those abominations.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

The little puss-ball infection forms I was just like, "okay", but the combat forms made me say, "OH SHI-"

When they would get back up after I thought they were dead I was like, "Aw, c'mon!" because I'd still have a room full of them coming at me.

In the end, I found that the premise of the Flood was more frightening than their actual appearance.

I actually played the game in the dark. Which did scare me! My second reaction was, when did Half Life come into Halo?

  • 12.12.2010 12:07 PM PDT
