I didn't really care. The scare factor is kind of gone if you play Halo CE for the first time after you have already played the other two.
That sucks.

I was kinda "meh.." at the infection forms because they were so easy to pop...then the combat forms came and i started freaking out. I think I really started O_O when I meleed one of those guys with ballsacks for heads and he sploded...

Then I thought I was so great because I could kill a combat form with one AR bullet...so I started tbagging it...and he came back to life. That was ... really startling. I force quitted halo.

Halo without Bungie is like a cookie made without love.

I was scared since the part where you see the hall for off blood and dead grunts, I was 13 by then, The whole mission I was like "Lots of dead bodies but no humans or Elites..." Then at the video part I was like "Hey that elite wasn't there when I passed by there." and then... The doors banged and I was like HOLY SHHH THERE THEY ARE!!!

Best Paradoxes:
"This sentence is false!"

"The sentence below is true.
The sentence above is false."

An ashtray with the 'no smoking' symbol on it.

If you go back to the 1st elevator in 343 guilty spark, it blows up. I was like, "Well, -blam!-".

I felt a little overwhelmed when I saw the Infection Forms for the first time. After seeing what had happened to those Marines from the recording on Jenkins's helmet camera, I remember thinking that if even ONE Infection Form was able to sink it's feelers into me, I was doomed to assimilation. Imagine my suprise when I ran out of ammunition and was mobbed by the little devils, only to find that they sizzled and burst upon impacting with my combat shield. I almost laughed out loud. Then came the Combat Forms...

What are we supposed to be discussing here?


"Nothing in the 'Verse can stop me."

Pretty sure I was around 10 at the time so needless to say I was scared.

It freaked me the hell out. I was either 10 or younger and I was so scared, but yet intrigued at the same time. I can't even remember how many guns I went through,lol.

ohh, and getting lost repeatedly annoyed the hell out of me, I remember when I thought I reached the elevator you were supposed to go in, but the damn thing came crashing down!! Anyone else remember that?!?!

What if you miss? I won't.

Um.... I played 343 Guilty Spark the first time on Legendary (I replayed Silent Cartographer a lot), so I kind of hid in a corner and wasted all of my AR ammo by the time the last of the zombie guys walked in, so I was reduced to frantically running, jumping, and fistfighting with them. It wasn't fun. But I did win the first time, and 343 Guilty Spark is still my 3rd favorite level in all Halo!

It was Saturday night, my parents were sleeping, and I was playing at 2 in the morning. I was at that part, and I saw the Flood, and I screamed out loud, I started shooting rapidly, and when I died, I ran in my parents room.

What a terrifying idea, those "buggers" kept me searching for hours looking for answers on getting away from the Flood and how to defeat them.

YIPES !!!!

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

I couldn't sleep that night because I saw a dark shape in my room that made me think of an infection form, but then I got over it and have been kicking Flood ass since.

I thought of how your mom looks. (Scary)

MEDIC!

I almost didn't want to play the rest of that mission after Pvt. Jenkin's video. I think I would still piss my pants if I was to play 343 guilty spark again

I'm 17 btw

They freaked the -blam!- out of me. Endless waves of infection forms crawling towards you and then the combat forms...

When I first played Halo C.E. when I was about 6 I would resist even going through the campaign without a buddy playing with me becuase it frightened me so much. But now it's all good :]

  • 07.03.2010 8:30 PM PDT

I was like, holy crap. demz some freaky little critters. When i used up all of my ammo on the infection forms and the last door broke and i saw big dark creatures hurling out of the door. I was like holy crap and pulled out my shotgun. When the first combat form lunged at me i was like "your mine" then i pulled the trigger and then *click* That was a moment of absolute terror.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

I remember being ten and getting it for christmas. Then you know I was playing it for...ever.
When I saw the flood I was scared, becasue it was really late at night, and the creepy music was playing. I continued playing, then I had nightmares of the flood.

That happened to me as well. I played Halo 2 when I was like 7 and beat Halo 3 when it came out. I finally got bored one day and went back to play Halo CE. When I first saw them in Halo 2, I turned off the xbox because I remembered reading about them in my brother's guide he bought for it. It was fun though.

I read the book before playing the game so from the moment echo 419 dropped us off I was a nervous wreck and panicked pretty badly before even encountering the flood.

The flood in the first halo were something to be feared, they've become sort of a joke now...


Couldn't agree more.

As for my First reaction it was a "OMG WTF IS THAT!!!" and it took me ages to find the way out.

343 Guilty Spark is by far the best level EVER in any Halo game.

  • 07.04.2010 10:51 PM PDT

It was kinda freaky when I seen those flood creatures that when you shoot em' they can get back up when your back is turned, and next thing you know it, yep your on the ground bleeding out/getting ripped to shreds or being infected.

well yeah I f***ing pissed myself in state of "WTFing HELL IS THAT!?"......
