I remember when I discovered them, they scared the -blam!- out of me. I was out my friends house playing Halo for the first time, it was about 3 in the morning it was pitch black except for the light from the TV. I would be standing in one spot trying to kill them and then I would see one but i would think it was my friend, so I didnt mind him, then all of a sudden he jumps at me and slashes me. And it had all that scary music. I was frightened.

when i first met flood i was at my friends house. i felt sorry for Jenkins because he is "mentally ill". when i saw the small flood, im like "ha so this is it? This is what made you piss your pants? hahaha." then when i saw the combat forms and im like "WHAT THE F*** YOU "GOSH DARN FEMALE DOGS"!!! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!" many a flood has lost their head since that day.
Halo doesn't cause the annihilation of all sentient life in 3.1 radii of the universe, I DO!

The Flood pissed me off to no end they jsut keep coming. At first it was like thats it? ONe grenade and they all pop. Then I got whipped and I about crapped my pants because I had no shields my screen was red, -blam!- was beeping and this THING wa staring me in the face, then I found an 8 gauge shotgun and life got a lot better.

I was like "what is this" and i always keep on getting this cornered feeling when ever i see them. especially if i play at night alone, but that's probably just part of the thrill.

some of them seem to have an armor in halo 2, right?

I went back and played again to see about the flood following me and fighting the covenant, I also watched the jenkins video, the only thing I dont see is the crazy guy flipping out that you all keep talking about? where is he?

oh ya by the way, I still -blam!- my pants when the flood came, even though I specifically put it on that level to see them lol

at first i freaked out because it was the last thing i expected; bubbles exploding everywhere and headless corpses beating the crap out ot me. during the guilty spark level i started to think that halo was getting stupid but i realized what the flood and the sentinels were all about an hour into the level. but ya, i freaked out.

this game is pritty freaky in the single player mode but whats even worse is the online mode. when you cant hear anything and someone jumps out of nowhere. dose anyone else think so?

Creepy! There's nothing like stalking along in the dark and hearing that gurgling/chewing noise right behind you. Still makes the hair on my neck prickle. The smaller, human hosted flood are sneaky little bastards, too. Good thing I got the gauge!

Well, I had seen my friend play and beat the game, so I knew about the flood. but never really "knew" about the flood. So recently, I went back and beat the game myself, and when I encountered the flood, the little ones, i just said the hell with itand dodged them until I got out, then when I saw the bigger ones, I was freaking out, my heart racing, in a cold sweat, screaming "DIE FREAKS DIE!!!", then when I got to the library, getting surrounded, I was just saying, "Ain't this a -blam!-." and continued shooting my shotgun.

Duh!

I had no idea how to react to the flood, but it threw me for a loop and I still ended up finding out that they are just something you can kill so it was more like a shoot em up fest and some parts I hated it and some parts were fustrating, but in the end it came out all right.

It was pretty funny for me, in a tragicly ironic way... That night I had just been discussing, with my friends, what I hated fighting the most in a video game: Zombies that came back to life, and hive-minded swarms. I like what I kill to stay dead, and I prefer a tough fight with one thing than a shooting fest with lots of freaks (and lets not forget the cloaked ones at the end of the Maw- I practically crapped my pants when I heard them in the dark armory, and saw these shimmers darting around....). So when I encountered my first resurrecting combat form, I thought, 'aw jeez, they just have to be zombie-esque. Just my luck.'. And then, it began to hit me (hit me like the ones that liked to use rocket launchers as shotguns) that these things were also suicidal swarmers. Resurrecting, fast moving, far jumping, tentacle-backhanded-brickslapping, hive-minded enemies that, just for sticks and giggles, were impervious to sniper rounds. Oh man, did I swear that night.

I freaked out coz i was nearly out of shotgun and assault rifle but then i found out i had heaps of grenades and had to blow them up when they were strategically in grouped positions.

I thought, wow, those are ugly. Hmm, -blam- they pop like -blam- bubbles. -blam-
Then I started petting my shotgun and lobbing grenades.

The first time I was playing 343 Guilty Spark and I was playing co-op with my friend ( I didn't have Halo at that time. Now I do!) and I saw that guy shooting at me screaming "get away from me! You're not going to turn me into one of those things!" or somehting like that, but anyways my trigger-happy friend finially shot him and grabbed his ammo. Then when I saw that Jenkins video, I was like 'Great. Now we had marines, BUT NOT ANY MORE DAMN YOU COVENANT!!!!!!' because I thought they were Covenant and then I saw those little infection b-terds flyin at me, and when I shot them, they blew up. I even found out that you can melee attack them. Then I saw the carrier forms and was like "WTF man more of those little suckers." When I shot them they blew up and more infection form flew at me. I just stood still and let them try to eat up my sheilds. Then when I saw the combat forms, I killed him and then zoomed into his head with the pistol and saw it was an infected human! That night I never fell asleep.
