I was somewhat freaked when I first saw one. I called the small infection forms "poplers."

How did you react when you first saw The Flood?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggg ggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i was only 7yrs old i...

made me lol so i came in.

my first reaction was... wtf is that? I was playing with my brother during a party and when the cutscene started, we had to go upstairs for some reason. when we came back, we were being killed by some pop corn monsters and we were like wtf is that. after reloading last checkpoint, we never understood what were these things until i played the campaign solo.

  • 01.14.2011 5:48 PM PDT

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

I was like, "Whoa, look at all the threads!", jk.
I was like, "What the HELL are those?!"

  • 01.14.2011 6:47 PM PDT

I was actually relieved. My gf's little girl had seen her cousins play it and knew the flood were in the building, but didn't remember what part. She watched me play and kept telling me that something terrible was about to happen all the way up until that cutscene with Jenkins. She had me so scared that I would take up a defensive position in every room or corridor and peek around the corner waiting for hell to come at me.
It probably took me a half hour of careful advance to actually meet them. Once I saw how easily the AR cut them up I felt like it was a perfect release of the buildup.

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

I was like oh crap whats going on here.

  • 01.17.2011 4:12 PM PDT

I like your spawn can I have it?

Freaked out by them, didn't expect them one bit. Me and my brother always referred to the smallest one as boogers lol.

  • 01.17.2011 4:45 PM PDT

What the hell is a signature?

I screamed oh -blam!-

  • 01.17.2011 6:26 PM PDT

i called them balloon party favors

  • 01.20.2011 9:27 AM PDT

I saw them jump and explode in front of me without even draining my shields halfway.
Then I saw the door I entered through explode and I saw a very strong and hard-to-kill kind of flood and I started screaming.
I felt quite happy.

The sighted man sayeth to the blind man, "The sky is blue, today is a good day."
The blind man sayeth to the sighted man, "You judge the day by what you see, what if I judged the day by what I see? The sky is black, what does that mean to you?"
The sighted man sayeth, "That someone is dead or dying today."
The blind man sayeth back, "Then the entire world is dying before my eyes."

Funny thing, I just found out last year the the Pistol is very effective against Halo CE flood combat forms. It's like shooting someone without a shield; drop dead.

I used my freind as a meat shield, it was super effective

Spartan-P1E READY FOR DELPOYMENT TO CHOKE SOME COVVIES HOORAH!

Since I saw halo 2 1st I thought they were only in that...then I played CE o the PC when I was...9...I was like: "NO, NO....NOO!"...the sound was broken on my PC and I wish I knew what happened.

  • 01.23.2011 5:56 PM PDT

I make a living of selling my body, and I don't mean sex.

I freaked out. After many hours of screaming, we beat the level.

"Shall we let the Flood consume our holy city? Turn High Charity into another of their wretched hives? No enemy has ever withstood our might. The Flood, too, shall fail."

-Prophet of Truth.

I'm not going to lie, but I started laughing, and I started playing around with the infectious forms. However, when that music came as the last door broke, and the combat forms rolled in.... Man, that was so intense.

What freaked me out more was once I emptied half a clip from my AR into them, they would come back for more....

Good times, I think I was in third or fourth grade when I met the Flood.

  • 02.05.2011 12:05 PM PDT

I like turtles

I hated "The Library"

"Let me go fix this problem over here, wait for me to return" -Spark ="Go crawl in a hole and die."

And that whole level WAS SO DARK!
