Don't know why it calls me rubuilt gymnast 7, it's really UNSC595 in case you were wondering and I have played all of those games online

From my point of view (on Legendary):

1. (see the helmet cam) what are those things? and they're not covenant?

2. (Infection forms come through doors) WTF? wow, these buggers are quick, at least they die easily.

3. (see combat forms)HOLY -blam!-! those aren't covenant! those aren't covenant! (in back of mind) at least they don't have guns.

4. (elevator goes down farther into the nightmare) wait, go back! go back up elevator please!

5. (see combat forms with guns) seriously Bungie?! I don't wanna die! I wanna live!! I wanna live!!! (in back of mind) at least they don't have rocket launchers.

6. (on the Library and see flood with rocket launchers) FTW!

Many will enter, only one will rise to the top and he might not even win....

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...

Ya now you only need to melee most of them 1-2 time then they're dead.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

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.

you have the picture with the grunt from the end of halo 1, that's halarious. but any way like you i wasnt scared and i was 5, for me it was just "cool now i have something else to shoot at" i just had fun with it on my first encounter, but halo 2 flood are my most hated flood of all

  • 06.07.2011 5:34 PM PDT

I still won't play COD!!!!!!
HALO rules!

My pants were a little damp. I get freaked out still when i play halo 3.

"tbagging has been in halo since the getgo, don't like it? Go make a thread about it!"

Ok. So im 6, right? I get to a cutscene and i think..bathroom break! (Didnt wanna piss my pants..) I come back just a chief sets the helmet down, and im like "ok, lets kick some covenent ass". Then i hear the noises, and im like "Wtf is that?!" Door breaks open behind me, i turn around. Instant pants -blam!- soon followed. At first i used a plasma pistol and a assult rifle, and i almost ran out of ammo. (I was being a dumbass and not collecting ammo) So i have like 10 rounds left for my AR, and then the combat forms come in and my exact words were. "Fk this sh.t!"

I was twelve I think.

  • 06.09.2011 10:22 PM PDT

I kinda jumped. It was cool though.

i was about 10 at night and me and my cousin (we were both 10) were going through the game on our first playthrough. we missed pretty much every clue on the way in and the crazed marine just sort of made us mad cause he shot us. eventually we got to the room and found jacobs helmet cam.as soon as we saw the flood we both yelled WTH is that we then finished watching the clip. imediately after the clip was done we backed into a corner then the flood came.After that it was really just alot of friendly of fire at least 400 combined rounds of AR and cussing every other half minute. Finally we killed all the flood my shield was done and i decided to start moving as the door opened a infection form flew out hit me in the face and killed me. this scared the ever loving -blam!- out of me and I could not sleep for a week cause when ever i did i had i had nightmares of those little green bloby basterds

  • 06.10.2011 9:35 PM PDT

I was like "What the...? These stupid zombies are stealing all my fun with the grunts! Darn you!!!"

  • 06.10.2011 10:04 PM PDT

I was playing with my brother on co-op when we watched the Jenkins Cam. I pretented to be thirsty saying "Gonna get a drink". I never went back.

  • 06.11.2011 12:34 AM PDT

Can someone explain this to me so that it makes some goddamned sense?

I got to The Library and quit.

  • 06.11.2011 7:05 AM PDT

  • 06.11.2011 7:10 AM PDT

When I first saw them, I was like "Oh SHI-". Then I killed them, watched them get up and I was like "THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF"

Recon..??

I honestly thought the infection forms were giant mutant cockroaches....

  • 06.11.2011 1:35 PM PDT

Holier then thou

To understand this, I have to explain the encounter...

The first time I encountered the Flood I had read in-depth into the callings all around me indicating something else was coming, something worse. That the covenant enemies were not the only things I had to beat... so when I first saw the swarm coming at me, I simply was like, "ok, boatloads of enemies, AR is my friend..." when I got to the regular host bodies, then I was like: "AR not working well, AR not working well. Pistol working nicely." and after running around to the part where the Flood had weapons, "Well this is going to impossible on legendary..."

Do all in all, I was calm about it and didn't care. Just wanted to kill them and be done with the mission...

  • 06.11.2011 10:03 PM PDT

i was like 8 when i saw the flood and i was kinda scared. it took me like an hour to get out of the level haha. and it was on the computer so i had a small screen. all i remeber is saying "OH CRAP".

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I honestly didn't find them scary at all...

However when reading Mona Lisa...*shivers*
