Subject: How did you react when you first saw The Flood?

For some reason I didn't care what they were, yes they intrigued me, but in the end I just shot them down in hopes to end their reign of terror.

The foreshadowing made it even creepier. With the camerait was like a horror movie.

Have you ever seen a ten year-old be ambushed by mutoid zombies in a ghost-town facility at twelve p.m.?


I screamed, jumped to the xbox and turned it off. I didn't play Halo until the following Christmas.

Ha ha I was five I literally started crying I was so scared I was hiding in the corner plugging my ears with my eyes closed till my mom came home from the store and said"what happened" I couldn't even respond I was still really scared so I thought she was the flOod so I ran then she saw the game on the tv and saw the flood and said no more halo till I wouldn't cry anymore btw when I was little I would get so scared I wouldn't shut things off that scared me (worst regret.... The maze game....)god that one marines video still haunts me

But 'tis strange:
And oftentimes, to win us to our harm,
The instruments of darkness tell us truths,
Win us with honest trifles, to betray's
In deepest consequence.

The Infection forms creeped me out something awful. Combat forms just looked like run of the mill zombies, nothing too frightening.

What really got to me were the Carrier forms. Something about an egg sac with legs just made me want to turn off my Xbox and go play Mario Kart.

My brother told me about them earlier.

343 Guilty spark is my least favorite level cause it is just confusing like hell!

Best weapons to use in 343 Guilty Spark:

Shotgun
Assault Rifle

if you are firing at the little guys with a shotgun, keep slightly away from them so the ammunition will spread out more among them.

I think its fair to say I was 5 or 6 when I first played Halo, right after release. I was a little creeped out by the mission (The music, the swamp and fog, the shadows on the cliff ledge) but when I saw the video and was ambushed, I freaked out. I couldn't play my copy of the game for nearly a year, but one of my friends always invited me over and I completed the game with him on multiplayer :)

"If I can see their eyes, they're already respawning."

my first experience was alright, a little bit scared as to what they could do, but when i saw one get up I was like, "WHY WON'T YOU DIE!!!????" and felt overwhelmed...

Halo died with Bungie

I was scared at first but as the wave of emotion of the Flood attack washed over me something inside turned cold and although I had been effectively killing Covenent for a long time, a new steel was forged within me...I knew that to get out alive I had to kill every last one of these S.O.B's. I did it, stole the index from the library and blew up the ring world known as Halo, but I knew this wasn't the end...it was only just beginning.


lolololol

Same here ,i -blam!- my pants after the video and then i killed all the little guys but then the infected guys came in... you DO NOT want to see the look on my face,but then about half a year later i played it with my uncle and i pownd it on LEGENDARY, but the halo 3 level CORTANA still creeps me the -blam!- out even with 4 people :(

It was very ironic, because right before i saw the camera, i said "I hope there is no freaking thing that looks like spiders or really screwed up mutants.
I had full grenades, shotgun, and human pistol.
several levels later with the Flood,
i died for the first time on legendary.

  • 07.10.2011 11:22 PM PDT

"Die? Didn't you know? Spartans never die." - Kurt-051's last words.

I didn't really care because I finally played CE a few months ago.

I would have pissed myself. But I think I went before I started the level. The only thing that kept me from going catatonic was my right finger squeezing the trigger and my Assault Rifle roaring.

I still get chills when I play 343 Guilty Spark.

I put myself down for "pissed my pants".

  • 07.13.2011 6:25 PM PDT

MAI ROFLCOPTER GO SOI, SOI, SOI !

I freaked out like: "Oh, hey, why are all these guys dead? Better go invesitga-WHAT THE -blam- IS THAT?!

A few seconds later I was wondering why there were no infected grunts, lol.

Same. After I saw the Flood, for the next week I had nightmares, told my parents and didn't play video games for almost a year. Longest time (After I started playing video games) that I didn't play.

Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don't be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting

I died.

"Hey! I heard you fellas taste.... just like chicken!!"

I was kinda surprised, shocked and a little scared even though I was 16 years old. But I remember that when the first infection forms burst out from the very first door. I thought: " Huh, oh shaiz! Those raskals looks like some kind of parasitic popcorn/cheeze doodles!"
Followed up by alot of running around and popping them like crazy for then to run into the the combat forms which kinda look like mechs for those little balloons but organic.
