I was thinking - oh is that it ? It was more of a trickle than a flood

I was 4 and I wasn't scared. Though it was probably because whenever I was with my grandparents, (a lot) they always watched scary movies so I got used to it before even playing that level.

I first saw the Flood on Halo 2, I never made it this far.

Do not disturb the Classic one.

I peed myself due to the horrific situation of the undead walking and growling noises of pain that went up my spine chilling up every single bit of it. The Flood is Satan and his minions for now. St. Michael will cast him into a fiery hell alongside all the demons that walk the Earth for all eternity.

-Sic transit gloria mundi

I was confused, then a little freaked out. I thought that if one of those infection forms landed on me it'd be instant death. It took me a long time to realize that they would just "pop" on my shield.
Once I learned that I calmed down.

I did laps of the room that you first see them in until I had about 50 infection forms following me in a tight group, then turned around and fired one AR shot. Bam!

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

For the longest time called them "Mushroom People".

One of the best moments in Halo. No one saw that coming. :)

I <3 you too Bungie

Best experience ever. I was at the beach with my cousins. We were all really sunburned and sitting in the basement of the beach house our families were renting. It was a really big room that was an underground basement. Completely dark, freezing cold, and we were playing halo for the first time on the xbox we brought. We all freaked out and had goosebumps for at least an hour. Epic fun. I think we played The Maw together about 20 times, alternating driving at the end.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

I was like wtf is that, and tried to get a closer look on them while playing legendary. Made the mistake of lowering my guard against them and got my ass kicked. Not the spores, the flood combat forms where what knocked some sense into me. After that I learned with the flood, always shoot first then look later when they all dead.

Damn you 353 guilty spark! You killed the greatest stereotypical african american gun toting sergeant ever to tread upon a fictional futuristic setting!

I crapped myself with excitement.

hey my gamertag is monkeyreeper and i have been a halo player since halo3 came out but i still play halo CE , i alredy got recon but if anyone who needs help with anything BUT endure i`ll be happy to help.

i must admit, when i first saw the flood i was like "o great, another godamn enemy to fight" and i was pretty freaked out, but i didnt do somthing extreme like bury it in a metal box or not play it until i was a year older, c'mon guys grow a pair. but now i acually enjoy fighting the flood because frankly there smarter than the brutes, but not as funny as the grunts. my tag is monkeyreeper

Well, me and my friend (we were both young) played it together for the first time. So, during that whole level 343 Guilty Spark, we were all really creeped out. And, by some law of physics, the first time you play that level it always seems to be late at night. So, it's like 11 or 12, and we're having a grand time on Assault on the Control Room. And then all of the sudden we're dropped into a completely different environment. We found all the hints in that level but we never got them, just like everybody else. So we listened to the recording on the pelican, walked for a bit, killed some jackals and grunts, saw some sillhouetes (however you spell it) up on a cliff, (we were scared by that, but we figured it was just some elites) and when we saw the AR firing inside of the building we were all like "hey! marines!" then we get in, no marines. We spent the next 5 minutes looking for marines and we just figured the something weird happened to the game. We noticed the abnormal amount of blood on the wall but with no bodies by them, and that's when we got the hint that something wasn't quite right. A little past this point, my friend remarked on the fact that there were no elites in the level. There was a long silence after that. Then, we found the crazed marine. That scared us s-less. We noted all the bodies, the new, green blood, and at this point, we were scared s-less, like I said. So then we watched the infamous Jenkins helmet cam cutscene. Once it was finished, are hearts were pounding, we were sweating we were so scared. Then when we had all those little infection forms coming at us after busting down the doors. We jumped miles high whenever we heard a pounding door. Then, when the Devils... Monsters music played for the first time, and combat forms came running at us full speed, launching themselves 30 feet in the air, we just completely lost it. We were screaming, and pretty much holding down the trigger for our ARs. There was a lot of friendly fire involved, because whenever something came out of a corner, we freaked and held down the trigger. And then, boy, there was the first time a combat form hid around a corner, then launched himself at me. I just about had a heart attack. I thought my heart exploded. Then there was the first time a combat form came back to life right next to me. Again, I thought I had a heart attack.



In me and my friend's defense though, we were 7 or 8 and the flood in Halo 1 were freaking scary. The infection forms launched themselves at you and made that maddening droning noise. Combat forms mindlessly charged you at full speed and clawed you when they got close, plus, the flood noises were freaking scary in Halo 1. They growled, gurgled, and howled. Also, it was pitch black in the room.
