well when i first got to 343 gs i didn"t think about zombies but when i got inside the building and saw the marine that was shooting at me and going crazy and there was suff dripping from the roof i knew right then and there something was up then when you open the door and the marine falls on you its so freaky man and when i saw jenkins video and those flood infections i said what the heck are those then i knew they were not covenant and i would have too fight them to get out of the building.


im sorry to dissapoint you but the stuff dripping has nothing to do with the flood cause ive seen it in AOTCR and POA. Its some kind of covenant coolant.

For me... well... for me... (Remembers back to the traumatizing moment)

I remember laughing (safely atop a bridge) at the grunts and elites that were getting the crap killed outta them by their infected brothers. I started to shoot at them with my assault rifle, one bullet after another, to see how many shots it would take with it. But, to my surprise the mofo jumped at me. I then jumped down, screaming and shooting randomly everywhere 5 seconds before I died....

The first time I played that level scared me -blam!- less.
At the very beginning you get some foreshadowing; a bunch of covenent, armed to the teeth, are running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
You notice the grunt corpses lining the path.

Then, the sightings begin to occur
it starts with a shadowy figure running across the top of a ridge, pausing, then continuing on
I remember saying "what the hell is that? its too tall to be a marine, but its not running like an elite!"
you see grunts getting chased out of the complex by assault rifle fire, only to find it abandoned..
you see green goo dripping from the ceiling.

Then comes mr. Crazy marine. I stood behind a pillar and listened to him, the first time I played the level. That was enough to convince me some wierd -blam!- was going down.

Then you walk into that corrider (weve all seen it) were theres a jackal, who obviosuly got the living hell beat out of him, theres blood all over the walls.

Finally when you meet the flood your so scared you can barely find the trigger. thats what happened to me and my brother. I felt as helpless as Jenkins.

I was like hooly sh** followed by my shotgun


Well, at least I was forewarned. My brother had already played Halo, so he told me all about it. But still, that was pretty much what I said.

I got into HALO late too, and faw the infection forms at around 10 at night. i thought that was all until a battle form ar whatever theyre called dropped out of the ledge above me. The tv was the only thing on and scared the -blam!- out of me. Something else that scared me too...I ran out of shotgun ammo! Dontcha hate it???!?!

I thought the Marine shooting at you was a little freaky, i stayed behind the battlenet terminal next to him to listen to what he was saying, ("I played dead, they took the live ones!") then when i watched the Jenkins video, i thought to myself, AH CRAP.

I was not in a good mood when I found them. I had spent several hours wandering around in the swamp trying to find where I was meant to go. I was playing on normal so no easy shotgun by the Pelican for me. I was sacred after that damn marine. I get even more scared by that video. I slaughgter the waves of Infection forms with a full auto AR, using up all my grenades. Then the damn Combat Forms burst through the door and kill me. Queue Save and Quit



On an aside, in Jenkins's helmet cam, if you look closely when they are in the Pelican, you can see the Dropship from the start of the level IS ALREADY CRASHED. Was there a second (first) party of marines who got there before Keyes?

When I saw the flood, I was playing at night with all the light turned off. When I saw them bust out through the door my reaction was "HOLY F**K!" I immediately stated shooting them with my assault rifle full blast. I thought it was cool how bungie did that part.

it was very late at night when i played that level and i was actually afraid of playing halo, lol i kept getting nightmares like hell....and when i 1st saw the infection forms and shot them with my AR i thought " is this it....this is easy " and then when they started to surround me i was like " ok, now im starting to understand " and then when finally the warrior forms came in...." WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY! " and then i was scared!,

Those freaks from the flood didn't scare me! One close combat shot was all it took to kill them. And they call themselves the flood. More like the MUD! I don't mean to boast but are they suppost to be hard? Well maybe on legendary, but on any other difficulty I'd wipe the floor with them! LOL!
