I was playing The Maw on Legendary, and had just gotten to the armory. Knowing that camouflaged Flood forms were going to charge through the hatch at the far end of the room at any minute, I turned on my flashlight and put my finger on the R button. Soon enough, a few camouflaged Elite Forms jumped out and met a hasty end. Then, certain that there would be more forms in the room, I reloaded. Strangely, the flashlight seems to be connected to the barrel of the gun, and not the Chief's helmet. Anyway, when you reload a shotgun, the Chief has it barrel up so that he can put shells into the receiver. When I loaded the shotgun to its fill, the Chief put it back into the firing position. To my horror, a Human Combat Form had come lumbering towards me, evidently missing a part of his head. I blasted the thing to hell, cleared the room, and then went into the living room to have a heart attack. Anyone else have any frightening stories?

Every time I get to the armory, I just grab what I need and run away before the flood appear...

The scariest parts in Halo are the second part of 343 GS and the Library, they are an hour's worth of non stop scary running and hiding and shooting.

Well, let's see...The first time I played Halo, I played on Normal. I got to 343 GS at about 10:30 at night, during a thunderstorm. So, naturally, I freaked out. But the real kicker came when I got back to the swamp, where the Marines are. I had 1 health bar left and was about 30 seconds from the cutscene when out of the corner of my eye, I see a Marine kill a Flood combat form and say, "Get up so I can kill you again!!" Very unfortunatly for him and me, the Flood listened to him, shot him with the Shotgun and then killed me. Absolutly freaked me out, because i didn't know that they could come back to life!!

I'm pretty sure that's what happened in my above post. It jumped back up after the buckshot blew its head off. *Shudders*

i think the first time i saw the flood i was scarred for live, seeing that video where the flood start devowing the marines at 12 o clock at night at knight can be very disturbing, and also my very first "pet flood" a x-human without a head, or armes, and was pretty much a flood infected skeliton. another disturbing scene was when i ran into a room in 2 betrayalls and found the flood devowing an elite and a grunt.

but by far the mast embarressing and scarring for life thing ive ever had was when a grunt stuck a plasma grenade to my face on easy.

The first time I saw the Flood, I was playing on co-op at about 4 or 5 in the morning. I have never been so surprised.

The invisible Elites with the Plasma swords. I was playing co-op with one of my friends, and I had no clue what to expct, this was my first run through Campaign. We got in The Truth and Reconciliation, and then our good friend, Invisible Elite with the Plasma Sword comes in. I literally said "Ooo, pretty..." and the thing killed me. I was like "HOLY S--T!"

Can't find a friggin' keygen.

But anyways, back OT.

The scariest event in Halo was my first time through AotCR, trying to cross the bridge that has the Hunters on the adjacent side. I cleared all the Covenant in my view and ran across the bridge only to be blown to hell and back by 2 simultaneous fuel rod shots. That was pretty bad IMO.

One time when I played AotCR, a really scary thing happened. I think it was the first time I played it, and I had entered a room with hunters in it. This was before I knew of the hunters weak spot, so I thought the only way to kill them was with a rocket launcher.
Anyway, here I was in a room with hunters. I killed one of them, but before I could shoot the other one, it came so close I couldn't shoot. To make matters worse, It started puncing me. I ran for my life, terrified. I got trough a door, and just before it closed, I managed to fire a rocket trough it. I stood there to let my shields recharge for a while. The red dot was gone, so I was pretty sure the hunter was dead.
When I wnet trough the door again, I got really freaked out. The hunter had got stuck above the door by the explosion, with the head and torso hanging down, blocking the doorway.

First time through campaign...in the second level (halo). When you're in the worthog and you have to get out and activate the light bridge...you go up that ramp, and then take a left. Well I didn't know there were two elites up there, and they jumped out and were all like "wort wort wort" and it scared the crap out of me.

Keyes. It was 11 o' clock. After a couple of minutes of walking through the canyon ( First campaign ever) without my flashlight on, I run into a load of flood. My shooting wasn't very effictive, so...I ran. I ran into somthing that I couldn't see, and I couldn't get around it. Then I said "Oh, the flashlight you idiot!". As soon as I turned it on, a human type flood was standing right in front of me. It scared me to DEATH. I shot it, killed it, and then other flood killed me. I didn't play Halo for the next few days after that.

It was on 343 Guilty Sparks where you first fight the Flood, the heads. When I frist saw the heads I didn't know what to do so I shot, I thought the heads were easy and stoped shoting and started to meele the heads. When the last door open I meeled the head but didn't noticed the infected eliot in the wave till it meeled me, I paused the game to get it together then went all-out on it. I left the room and turned into two more and killed them or so I thought because they got back up. I got so scared I didn't play it by myself for two days.

Yes, because of when they got the game they all got to that point at night. And when I first saw the Flood, I was playing and my brother was watching me play, and it was about 2 A.M. And we just started yelling "HOLY F**K!!!" over and over again. Then the Elites came out... Damn that freaked us out.
