Subject: first reaction to flood?

Mine was like woah those R not in the manual, then bang bang bang bang bang bang, these things do not die. Then they never stopped coming and finally I figured out what weapons worked best.

So I was marching around inside the Forerunner bunker, knocking off Covies like they were *PUNKS*... then I found *jackass* with the pistol all bugged out and hunkered down like he'd been shivved in the -blam!- with a clown-shaped boxcutter. That's when I knew sumpin' was up. Thanks for the pistol, "IT'S MINE, GET IT??? MINE!!!" With a pistol and loads o' needles, I proceeded into the room, watched the cutscene and began to melee and frag like a schoolgirl with light artillery. Pop O Matic Trouble, killing off the little freaks felt oddly satisfying. But then the carnival music kicked in and Dorcus y Malorcus come swingin'-and-a-jumpin' like they own the place. The second I got slapped, I freaked out and shouted at the TV, "NOT FWIKIN' FAIR, YOU PANTY-WAIST DILLHOLE ZOMBIE BEEATCH!!!"
It was at that moment I realized my pleasant little sci-fi game had gone all topsy-turvy on me. From then on, I pretty much laughed at the Elites, Jackals and Grunts - taking to high-ground banshee-stealing antics to snipe and rocket my way off Halo. But those freakin' filthy, jumping Flood. Darn them. Darn them all to flaming heck. 'Specially if they got rockets on bridges or in El Librotecario.
Those Floodknockers still suck the big one in HALO 2, but I don't like the lack of feedback in the controller when the infection forms pop off my shield. I'll save that discussion for a H2 forum, 'tho.
Gotta love skull-punching the Brutes when ya get a chance.

Let face it, the flood was a cheap "The Thing" knock off. They need to DIE!!!

... and by the way didn't Gravemind look like Andre 2 from "The Little Shops of Horrors".

the flood were easy to take care of in the first game just use a plasma weapon and plenty of grenades .in the second they were much tougher especially the little spores and the fact that they can reanimate the more solid bodies ,that was a great touch to the game as in the first one you killed a covenant and wanted to see it become one of them but it never did.yet by adding the plasma sword and the sentinal beam in a nearly never ending supply the flood were a lot less threatening than the brutes or the hunters.

hadd about the same reaction as i do when i see a bum on the NYC trains. *ugh not again* and avoid them like the plague.

  • 12.06.2004 8:27 AM PDT

My first reaction is "aww... the little bubbles are straining themselves against my inpenetrable shield... awww.... they popped themselves to death.... theyre so cute....." and then the combat forms came and i learned not to pet the green bubbles when you have no shield... no sir.

  • 12.06.2004 11:12 AM PDT

there easier to beat in halo 2,except that they can drive vehicals now.

It was a sunny saturday-afternoon when me and my friend were sitting in his swedish little igloo with his newly-buyed Xbox and Halo... we had come to the greatest challenge we would ever face in this glorius game: The Flood.

When those little squid-thingys started coming towards us, my friend started screaming like a little school girl... and I (who had never faced the flood, I thought it was regular covenants...) started to give them some extra ammo without dancing like a head-chopped chicken like my friend... I wasn't even afraid of 'em.

now, i know better...

Well what scared me was the TONS of little Raddish-like things jumping at my face. My first reaction..."You gota be kidding me!!!!" but then i realize they are harmless....until your shield goes down...

I started to back pedal and unloaded the clip... then i realized the shotty would probably be a better option.

Actually my reaction was closer to...


"Heh. They explode when I shoot them. Freaks. I want some caffeine. Yeahh! WOOO! BURN MUTHA ... what do I call them? Theyre too easy to kill.. yknow what. I dont care. Kill me. (impact on sheilds.) WDF WAS THAT?? THAT Sucked! Im putting you out of your misery! DYEEEE!

Mania? I promise you this: it will be more than a cart and plow that I drive over the bones of the dead.

"Holy crap what the hell are these things?!" That's about what I said. I was staying over at my friend's house, about 3 or 4 days after Halo had come out, and we were playing co-op at approximately 2 in the morning. We had gotten to 343 Guilty Spark and we were playing on Normal (remember, we'd only been playing for a couple of hours total) and we get locked in that room... big... red... things... on motion tracker. My friend suggests "Hunters?" but I'm thinkin' there's way too much atmosphere and creepy music for simple hunters. Then the door explodes. Out come these weird tan colored water balloons with legs. We empty our assault rifles at 'em, yelling expletives. A few more doors blow open, and then the door we entered through earlier opens. BIG weird things that don't die. I toss a few frag grenades in the door, which stems the tide. We exit, I go left and he goes right. We promptly die at the tentacles of 5 or 6 flood combat forms hiding just around the corner. Or that's what my friend says. I've been taking memory-repressive medicine for that period in time . :-)
