The first time i ran into the flood, i thought, "wow, these things are cool and scary, and this is a great story!"

Later, on legendary: "AAAH, AAAH, O MY GOD, AAAH, GET AWAY YOU FREAKS, WHAT CAN STOP THESE THINGS?!? GYAAAAAAAAHG... bOOM.

Nowadays, when i run into the crazy guy in 343 GS, i say "you know what? you want me to kill you, so i wont." Then i leave him there, and trust me, it makes that part of 343 GS much more scarey to hear the lamented screams of the insane in the background. But i don't know if hes still there when you come back.

I remember when i was determined to beat every level in halo on legendary, alone. i had two levels left: Truth and Reconciliation and The Library.

I did Truth and Reconciliation first.
MISTAKE
It took me about 4 days of waking up and loading my last checkpoint. Running up, getting shot by that STUPID elite that is on top of that little outcropping, and i remember getting killed by the hunters (i didn't have a pistol) and having to start that whole DAMN part all over agian, for about 4 days.

Then the Library,
Oh yeah, that was fun, if you like working for 2 days in a dark cave with a stupid blue ball of crap floating around ur head.
I remember thinking "no, don't leave! The bad things will come!! Noooooo!" And this was to Guilty Spark. god.

Back in my day we didn't have no fancy lasers, and the hogs were indestructible!

The first one I saw I just looked at for ages then I remebered it was on legendary and that they could two hit kill me (then i saw one beat a hunter in hand to hand that scared me)!

I thought that those little garlic thingies were deadly and would hurt me alot. I ran foward and dodged those little things and was so freaked out... I started shooting them with Assult Rifle. I sucked at Halo back then, so I was bad at aiming. Before you know it, the drone came, and I barely took out any garlic things.

"arrghh!!! blam blam , smack, smack, rat-tat-tat-tat BOOM"

...back to the checkpoint...

I was playin' at midnight and I skipped the cutscene, so my first reaction was sorta like "..................door [CUTSCENE].........[FLOOD] AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHH.......FREAKS.............. ROT IN HELL" then my dad looked at me funny

Skipping cut scenes? Tsk tsk. All that hard work by the Bungie devs gone to waste... I liked the Aliens-type homage in that cut scene, though when they turned up it was pretty much a case of "loads of little gimps! Gaaah!" and then followed by the bigger bipedal versions, which was kinda freaky.

I liked the Covenant versus Flood antics too, where you could sit back and let them mess each other up.

I think that the flood are the easiest enemy in Halo because the Covenant are smarter, meaning they group together and throw gernades and stuff. I think the flood are mad easy with the right weapons. Granted with a pistol or shotgun they are a piece of a cake, but even with a plasma weapon you can take them down easy.

Thats because flood are stupid.

But they are very annoying, too, and some of then are just so small.....

Once, I had a flood who meant to throw a frag gernade at me. Only he never pulled the pin. I was staning there and shooting his buddies when I saw a frag gernade hurtling towards me.

"picked up a fragmentaion gernade"


Hey, thanks.

Me and my friend had a hearty laugh about that one.

Umm, all those people who said that their first reaction to the flood was to shotgun them, dont you get your first shotgun AFTER you meet them? If not, tell me where it is!

ditto
My situation was a bit different, I don't think it was quite midnight...but otherwise, ditto.

My second reaction was "DIE HELL-ONIONS!", because that's what I called the infection forms. They took a while to eliminate until I realized I could pop 'em with my shield, instead of trying to shoot them all.

the first time i walked through the doors i didnt know what to expect, then one of them little ones came roud the corner, bit my leg &got squashed so i laughd histericaly, then i saw them wandering things that explode into 3 and was abit intimidated but soon i was facing rocket launchers and hid in a corner for a few days recovering from the shock. it is handy that they kinda help you tho by killing all the covenant 4 u.
