Subject: What was your reaction when you encounted the flood,and what you do?

This is my story: When i was playing the 5th level at the end of it cortana was alittle bit of edge which got me concern when she was going on about CAPT Keyes. When i finally saw the cutscene of 353 guilty spark then notice the grunts and jackles retreating, and yet no elites. I also missed the transmission from the downed pelican because i had to turn the TV down so i didnt get any info. So as i moved forward i see yellow dots movingn all directions (which later on i found out they were flood, not marinesand)amd womdered "what the hell are they doing?".Then i saw shooting from the entrance thinking it was marines but yet couldnt cath up to them.

As i moved forward to the door they hacked into, i watched the cutscene to see if it could give me info for what the hell's going on. When it ended i was scared so much i gave it a shot anyway( i was 7) the little infections (me and my mate nick named "poppys" cos they pop) no big deal so then the combat forms came through the entrance then..pause for 2 hours straight...but now i think it was the best horror moment of every game back then i felt like i was watching and playing through the movie "Aliens"so thumbs up for that bungie.

So yeah whats your story???

Hahaha that was funny.

OT: Yea I was 10 and I didn't really think much about the whole thing...untill I came accross the crashed spirit in the swamp. Here I was the whole effin game trying to make that thing crash or explode and then I see that!! At that point I became frightened.
Anyways, I walked into the building and all was normal. I walk into the room with the marine shooting at me and without thinking I instantly shot him. Now I really didn't know what was going on. Next I walked into the hallway and I see grunt blood all over the place with a jackel body laying there. Weird.

I didn't really see the video recording, because my tv was crap, but I heard the whole thing. Recording stops and I instanly turn around to get out, but its lock.
I hear banging...I look at the door about to pee myself...another bang... I'm shaking...and these little nothings pop out. I'm like "ok wtf" and start laughing at the whole situation. I then get hit from behind and turn around and there's a huge zombie in my face!! I put my whole assult rifle clip into the thing and examined the body. I then moved through the whole level on the edge of my seat and checking every corner.

Scared the piss out of me, I was like wtf is going on. Didn't like it even more when I watched the video in Jenkins' helmet. I think I was with my friend and he was telling me how this part sucked so much, and that it was hard, and scary. Saw all these little balls coming at me, I was like, this is easy wth, then all the actual flood combat forms came out and that music... OH THAT MUSIC, just gave me nightmares. Then when I saw the objective: 'Escape', I knew this was bad lol. I was so scared, I think I was 12 at the time, 2002 or so, then when I couldn't find out where to go, I freaked out even more, I JUST WANTED THE LEVEL TO FREAKIN END!

I was 6 so I was scared out of my mind. I also saw the flood in the parts of the jungle you couldn't get to. I was scared of flood levels after that.
