I'm gonna put myself as "Other" on the poll, by "Other" I mean...
"They look nothing like the early sketches I saw"
"*Unctrollable weeping* Let them die already! PLease dear God! Let them die!!!"
"I'm going with that Marine, 'I don't think we brought enough ammo to kill all these things!'"
"Hey! They got guns! Giant tentacled monsters with guns! Is that my assult rifle?"
And probably a few others.

i was playing through halo on co-op with my brother and needless to say we were awaiting the flood with some anxiousness.
i had read the halo guide i got in a mag but it was just a cheap black and white - no pictures affair and when they were saying 'you can shoot their arms off but they still come for you' i was just confused.

so when we watched the jenkins video... silence... then we were both actually panicking slightly. it was pretty scary having to gun a path through that door.


I was playing with my brother the first time at night when i saw that video. I never heard of the flood before this.That sort of tapping always came when the flood came.It raining that
night slightly then hard.The rain slightly tapped on myt roof then after i was tweaked it got hard real hard then lightning and thunder. It got really confusing at times and i 'accidently' shot him and mabe tap the walls a bit

the flood are the enemies i hate the most on halo. my first reaction was a mixture of suprise and confusion. i didnt understand how they where created or where they came from. though good at battle field combat they are a easy kill depending on the weapon your using(dude use the shotgun) i looked up some stuff on the flood and its kinda neat how our poor fighting marines can die and turn into great sick zombie soldiers. i was real angry seeing the flood in halo 2, i thought i had taken care of that problem but i guess the game needed something added to it.

I was kinda like: "DAAAAAAAAHHH!!!! I'M GONNA DIIIIEEE!!! GET AWAY FROM MEEEE!!!" and I shot like crazy... o.o;; I didn't like that at all. After beating it, I took my inexperienced friend through it and it pretty much scared her to death, and here's me laughing hysterically at her dismay.

It was so creepy!!! i was playng co-op with my sister and we had just got the game and it was like late at night( notice how almost everyone saw them at night for the first time?). when we were walking through the walls splattered with blood, it was especially scary when i opened a door and a dead jackal was there. we reached the room right after the cutscene and then it was like AAAAAH CRAP WHAT ARE THESE THINGS!!! THERES MILLIONS OF THEM! blam blam pop pop hahaha that wasnt so hard then the combat forms came and it waas like AIEEEEEEEEEEEEE GET ME OUTTA HERE!!! then we got out of the room and ran through the level and we got lost! we stopped playing fo a while. p.s.: once an infection form stuck onto my friend and i tried to smack it off and ended up killing them :) i actually checked the manual to see if I missed anything

Before I had gotten to that level I had read the book. So I knew what was coming. But my friend hadn't gotten there so when we played that level HE FREAKED OUT IT WAS SOOOOO -blam!- FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One time a Marine killed a combat form and he said "GET UP SO I CAN KILL YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!" Then the combat form got up and killed the Marine. It was so funny I had to pause the game and laugh for a few minutes.

My friend came up with nicknames for them:
Infection Forms: Tentacled Bastards
Carrier Forms: Popcorn Bastards
Combat Forms: Monkey Bastards

When i seen them the first time I almost turned the game off then i said the heck with it and kill all those -blam!-s. It was funny because when my brother came in the room he looked at them and pretty much fainted. I just laughed while I was playin. Then i got to the library and i was so paniced because the level was so long. I was glad when halo 2 only had like 2 or 3 levels with flood.

Remember the level 343 Guilty Spark from Halo 1? When Chief starts watching the film some marines will say (in the film): "I've got a bad feeling about this..." "Boy, you always have a bad feeling about everything." And then they die. Now, in Halo 2 you can find the same thing!
Start the level The Oracle and head into the large room. Now listen to the grunts. THEY WILL SAY THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE MARINES IN HALO 1!!!
Lol, i know it isn't one of biggest secrets but it was so funny!

all of you peoples were lucky. I came in and as soon as i saw them i was like "AGGGGGHHHHHH, IM ON THE LINE!!" and instantly threw 3 grenades and wasted 2 clips of AR on air. I then took a deep breath and restarted from the checkpoint. As soon as i saw the Combat ones, i had to make due with some crappy alien weapons (needler wasnt that good, i kept wasting it.) and some AR. Then on the Library... Oh crap... That was horrible! I was killed 16 times without knowing what happened. Id be shooting ma AR (hey, it was the only thing that had ammo for a while, apart from a rocket launcher, and you cant use that at a 4 food radius..) and then id throw a grenade, and then suddenly i'd be Like AGGHGHGHGH and id be dead with Master Chief's Foot flying up his ass and parasites biting the crap out of me.... But it was annoying how long the level was...

When I first played on 343 Guilty Spark i thought that I had to fight sum boss cuz of all the dead covenant and the blood on the walls but then I found the flood and i must say they were interesting of course they were freaky and i was playing in the dark with my friend but i think that it was an awsome story twist and i liked it,
