Halo 2 for Life!

Why am I being eaten? Kind of like how do I deal with this? And then I was being eaten and killed by them so I wasn't exactly happy about that.

They were a foe of high skill and unique abilities and made for challenging and not anticipated attack and defensive attributes. They also attacked when I didn't suspect it.

It was enjoyable to play because it was something different to blow up these balloon enemies that formed insensitive monsters able to take large damages (with little regard for being damaged i.e. no fear) but had low awareness which caused them to shoot all over but were very good at physical contact and when they were committed to something were super-fast and wouldn't stop until they had what they wanted.

Usually AI means higher strategy but in this case it meant if you met criteria they would attack you in different ways each time with no strategy (random, unpredictable, strange ways but still with a centralized goal) just brute force sorta.

Very fun.

I thought they were zombies. I was a little freaked out.
And then I spent about two hours trying to find my way out of the level. I memorized it now, though.

Friends before pixels.

Well, when I was 4, green zombies that tried to kill you by whacking their floppy arms at you was very terrifying.

Me and my friend finished the mission, and hid in a corner with teddy bears until my mom came and got us.

We had a flashlight for protection.

The first time I saw them all I was thinking was this level is about to get a lot harder lol

"The purpose of war isn't to die for your country,but to make the other poor bastard die for his."

Stuck It.

I was really young, and first played it Co-Op with a friend.
Dear God I must have shot him 15 times on accident on that level when we were playing.
I called the Combat Forms Human Flood, and Elite Flood respectively, the Carriers were Muffin Men, and the infection forms were Popcorn. :D
Oh good times.

Title.


The first time I experienced the Flood was Halo 3. I blasted first, asked questions later.

Watch the whole thing, with sound

Sincerely, The Flood

Jesus! I know how u feel! The only way to get thru 343 Guilty Spark is at 12:00 AM with all the curtains open!
I didn't play for half a year before my friend dared me to.

(I got through it after about 50 times!)

I was also 10!
I wonder what the great mental difference is between the Flood and the Covenant?

  • 04.11.2011 12:16 AM PDT

i tried to do that but i got killed :|
i tried to melee one to death but that failed.

plus i was only young...so i didn't play that level again and when i got to the library i just failed badly.

I first played halo 3. with my cousin and he said this is the part where mutated zombies come out and try to kill you, hold down the trigger.

Then i played Halo CE and was like HOLY **** and died 4 times before relizing how to kill them.

  • 04.11.2011 5:33 PM PDT

I was like "holy -blam!- -blam!-" because first of all it was in halo combat evolved on "library" and along with the intense creepy music and being at home alone at 12.00 pm with only the light of the tv and my laptop but the level is pretty -blam!- epic...well the whole campaign is -blam!- amazing so yeah...

  • 04.11.2011 6:01 PM PDT

I'm 16 now. I played halo for the first time when I was 7. I freaked out and didn't finish the game for months lol!

I don't understand why people keep asking other people if they are a sugary substance used to spread on bagels and toast.

I turned off my xbox.

I was 10 at the time when i first played it and I thought I was gunna poop in my pant...I didnt for the longest time play the following level of 343 guilty spark, the "Library" for the longest time until my cousin and i got up to the nerve to beat it...but just the xperience of the level 343 guilty spark and the incounter with the flood in general made that level still to this day my favorite out of all of the halo games.Now when I play a level with the flood im just like "awyeah bring IT ON!"

  • 04.23.2011 10:47 AM PDT

i was also just 10 when i first meet the FLOOD and i was almost in chock when the "spider-like-things" came out and eat you and i was having problems because i could not get out of the level. and i found a shotgun........KILLING SPREE, KILLING FREZY, RUNNING RIOT, UNTOUCHABLE,......out of amo.....magnum

  • 04.23.2011 2:49 PM PDT

Considering I first played that mission alone, I was pretty freaked out. The cutscene right before the first encounter was so well done that it perfectly achieved the level of just enough fear needed to keep you on edge. On top of that you then have to escape from that facility with all of those things on the lose. Yeah, it was creepy.
