My first reaction was something along the line of "What the #$%& are those? Why won't they die?!" That was when I discovered why the shotgun was invented. Thank Bungie for the shotgun.

Well me and my friend were playing it on co-op, we went into the room and watched the video, had a laugh at "Fine by me" and then tried to get out. The door was locked. So we ran around until we heard the thudding, then it was a WTF situation. We killed all the little spores and had a little laugh about how easy they were, then the main door was broken down.
We killed all the spores and then the combat forms appeared, that got us a little shaken up. Once we killed them all we were glad to be out but then they had guns, and from that moment on they have pissed me off.

I was actually kinda freaked by these things, cause the way they did that first level with the flood was amazing, good enought to scare me.

I was playing 343 GS by myself at one in the morning. It was dark and my house has a LOT of windows, so all I could see were moving shadows and stuff outside... it was pretty freaky, by my trigger finger stayed steady.

I couldnt sleep for days. Images of jumping squid/potatoes haunted me night and day. My Halo experience was ruined. Until I picked up the shotgun.

try this some time!

you have 2-3 combat forms coming at you, kill two of em, and get out either a pistol or a plasma pistol. the last combat form is coming at you now. aim really well, cause this is really hard, and shooot off his arms! you now have a pet flood! it cant hurt you w/out arms, so it just follows you around and blocks gunshots, its so sweet. once i got 4-5 of them clustered around me, all of em trying to kill me with the arms that were'nt there. almost nothing could hit me cause of them, so i just leisurely strolled through the level

My FIRST reaction... hm? Think it went something like, "YEAH! Something new to kill! Wonder if they live longer than those piece of $#^T Covenant.... apparantly not." 1400 rounds of Assault ammo and A LOT of their corpses (And 100 shotguns round from my buddy) later, I was saddend. Until the library... So, none. I slaughetred them all, and was sad.

I don't mind fighting them but after one shotgun shell and they get back up and hit me again that scared the shnot out of me as I was in a room at like three in the morning and no one was up so it was a little creepy...

i have never in all my days of playing ganes seen so many enemies after me at once and i knew i loved this game but that isnt my best one, i was on the covenant ship breaking the seargent out & me and my AI squad was coming up a hallway were ambushed by the covenant,so after about 15 mins of constant bullet fire i was waiting to make sure all were gone,and all of a sudden one of the AI let off a couple of rounds, then the whole squad stated shooting after realizing no one was there we stopped shooting & the AI character who started the shooting actually apologized for shooting at nothing... i was stunned and hooked i loved it

1am playing with every1 else asleep just me downstairs, playing HALO, in an alomost completely dark room. Saw the infection guys, killed them with AR, i thought oh plz this is somthing to be so scared about, the main door opens/busted through take out little guys. Combat forms come and HOLY MOTHER OF BUDDAH (i'm not buddist FYI), i just about fell backwards in my chair. Never touched or played the level for about a week till i came out of my cowardice.

the first time i saw the flood i screamed out "what the heck was that thing" then fired about half of a clip of my assault rifle into a really big group of them. then i started running around in circles shooting thin air. After a while of this i stopped, laghed and started watching them pop. CLASSIC!
