true but they could of added a suprise in halo 2 and made the story line a bit more scaryer

They could've...but when the Arbitor says he smells something familiar, and if you know the colour of Flood blood....you'll notice yellow crap dripping in the scene. Like me, I wasn't at all surprised as I expected the Flood and I expected to see Sentinel too....and I did =/

I think the Flood were scary in Halo: CE, but creepy in Halo 2.

As was said above, since you expected them, you couldn't be scared. But the Flood are creepier in the second game, especially when an Infection form revives a Combat form. Creepy!

  • 11.18.2005 10:51 AM PDT

True. The second flood were creepy, had unlimited numbers, and came out of every nook and cranny. But in the first halo, the flood came out of actual nowhere, and scared you. I eman, they would wait behind a bend in the path to surprise you, while holding a rocket launcher at shotgun range.

the whole reanimating corpses was freaky as hell. when i first started, i would shoot down a flood and run by, only to get back meleed. now i never leave a corpse not fully mutilated- i make sure the arms and head are all missing. there IS NO COMMING BACK FRoM THAT! YOU HEAR THAT FLOOD MONSTER! DIE DIE DIE!!!!

sorry. they scare the crap out of me.
if they would have put in that flood juggernaut in halo2, then they would have been way cooler. alas, they only perfected the zombie syndrome. still, in '2', i prefer the flood to almost any other enemy.

The fun thing I liked to d with Flood from Halo CE was blow off their Heads/arms and have 'em follow me around. I had Bob, Gary, Jerry, Timmy, Tommy, and my favourite was Jamie. However Jamie decided to follow an Elite and got stuck and died =(

I first played Halo 1 when I was 11 years old. I'm 13 now, and I was never afraid of the flood. Heck, I played for amusement. I thought the flood was a rip-off of a "scary movie"

The flood in Halo CE were creepy, even when I knew they were there. Killing flood infection forms, rounding a corner... and they filled my visor, leaping at me, as I held them off with a Shotgun.

Send me a group invite, and I shall return a harsh reply. Do not invite me to groups. I do not accept. Don't believe me? Look at the list of groups I'm in right now. Consider this your warning.

Never leave a corpse with fewer than 3 holes in the head.

Eee. Halo 1 Flood were pretty scary. Just a wave of screwed up creeps. Endless horror. As soon as you round a bend, you see a Combat form. You fail to see what it's holding until a speeding obstacle flies at your head... Not good.

Halo 2... Eugh. With the graphical enhancement, yeah, they did look a lot more creepier. More... detail. And they looked shiny. Ew. Slime -_- They don't really swarm at you, just waddle and possibly run. You put a few of them down with a bored grimmace. Suddenly, they start to rise and come after you again. You're all like, "Oh my god! Screw you, Zombies. Why won't you die!" *Ka-blam...Chrk chrk* *Ka-blam...Chrk chrk* *Ka-blam...Chrk chrk*

Yup... I just don't like Sacred Icon and Quarantine Zone. Pissed me off... Badly. Fighting the Flood on vehicles are okay. Fighting them in close quarter fighting... Freaky. Especially they Halo 2 Flood.

Halo 1 Flood aren't so bad close up... In bright locations, ie: The Maw. I could at least see those bastards run down the isle, right into the blast of my Halo 1 Shotgun ^_^

No soldier should be honored for doing what is expected
of him. He is after all, just doing his job.

Halo 2 Elite floods looks like the abomination in Warcraft 3 and there are less carriers.

yeah, the carriers suck in '2'. the infection ar eeven better tho, as killing one doesnt mean you kill the whole group. plus they instantly take your life if you have no shields. and the shielded rangers were a good addition.

still, tho, all of the flood levels in halo2 come nowhere close to the awesome design of 'guilty spark'... why didnt they have a swamp level? backwash looks awesome!

its probably becasue you knew how they could pop out of anywhere and wha they acted like, sounded like, and looked like. Plus you could fight them on viechles (i have no idea how you spell that). In halo 1 they also popped out of literally nowhere, just spawning randomly which frekaed me out. I would fight using hit and run, and when i came back to my hiding spot there would be someone there.

I intensly dislike fighting the infected lifeforms of those unfortunate to be inferior to the Flood's power.

Or, as I would say it if i wasn't annoying people with a stupid vocabulary,

I HATE FLOOD!

I bet...that when everybody first saw the popcorn balls and them eating at the marines, people were thinking 'Ah, I can take those things!' and after a few doors break down some creepy crap comes flying out a door, right at you and THAT'S when people almost died in fright and freaked out the entire level. (I know I did >_>; I thought the colourful blood was kinda cool looking..like a rainbow =D...didn't scare me >XD)

  • 11.20.2005 9:04 AM PDT

In Halo C:E the Flood also made those funny noises also an dthey were also introduced more dramaticaly.

Arbitor has Camouflauge which lets you get BY everything....I think that owns a flashlight -_-; Unless you could use your flashlight as a melee. That'd be cool, like in Doom3. The flashlight is Godly >XD
