In Halo:CE, the flood was a cool, unexpected twist. But i was kinda let down when i saw them again in Halo2. I was jus hopin for somthin new and unexpected....maybe like an evolved flood.....

When the little guys came in I was like wow, this is pathetic followed by my assault rifle. Then the combat forms came in, and I was more like OMG WTF R THOSE then death.

I thought at first that it might be fun to melee the little guys to death, then I realized that the big guys just would not go down that way...then I found my heart actually beating hard when running from about eighteen hundred of the bastards in the Library. The closet monster doesn't even scare me that much.

When i first played the flood it was 3:43am and I was so tired anything was funny.I basicly laughed and said "hey look at that"...then I threw a grenade and found out it was much easyer to meele attack them,but I still threw gernades here and there.

Have you been pwnd by a girl yet?

When I 1st saw the flood they scared the be-juezzus right out of me,and on tons of occations they made me jump out of my skin especially when playing halo in the dark! But i got used to them some what over time well more so now and I really hate the sounds they make it drives me nutty sometimes, but they sure are interesting creatures none the less!

I was playing it on legendary when wham right in the head a shot rang out and I was dead then a shadow was coming and there was the Flood form standing on my dead body so I was a little more cautious next time I went through there and I got sick of playing so I saved and Quit.

Well, I was playing witha friend when it happened, it was around 2 am and right after the cutscene with Cheif looking into the recording in the dead soldiers helmet I went "What are those things?" now when my friend replied it sounded like a horror movie "Those are...........the flood" and when first say a combat form I went BERZERK with the Assult Rifle and blew its head off..........literally

at first whenever one landed in front of me I jumped about two feet in the air... I played 343 GS for the first time at midnight when nobody else was awake so it was pretty freaky

ditto

Im like. HOLY -blam!-! ITS LIKE A ZOMBIE MOVIE! Like with the shotgun and zombies who wont die in Legendary. Then once you fight in the Maw your like "Its to bright for the flood." ANd then outta nowhere they start "flooding" from every crack in the compound!

343 GS is one of the best levels there. You're just creepin through the jungle "Hmmm, where are the elites?" Then when i got to the base there was the assault rifle fire, and i'm like "Hey, it's our boys!" I ran over and nobody was there! I saw the burst doors, the green stuff from the celing, I saw the vid where Capt. Keyes goes "friend of yours?" And all the covie blood and i thought "Oh man, this aint good, the marines couldnt do this. Than i saw the marine with the pistol and i thought "Holy -blam!-!!! WTF?!" After i saw the vid with jenkins and saw the flood i thought "Oh my god, I'm gonna die!" Than the combat forms came up and i saw that they were elites and humans. With guns. And i went "Damn, they can shoot me!" I found the shotgun shortly afterward, and proceeded to blast them all to hell.

I almost did when I saw how far they could jump...how high...that they can shoot you...that they are persistent...that they are on you in a couple of seconds...that they attack in swarms...the value of their melee attack...and the most terrifing...the Grunt infection forms that explode, and triggers grenade explosions, brings the still live targets to you, damages with the shockwave of the explosion, and...releases more of the little bastards!

I see lots of mentions of the SG in here, but in 343GS with your first encounter you HAVE NO SG, just the AS and MD6. Since I borrowed my friends XBOX when I first really played through the campaign and I wanted to be better than them I just set it to legendary. Needless to say the first time you do that flood room on legendary its no easy task. Trying to run around backwards shooting this thing running high speed at you tentacles flailing was hard to say the least. Then you walk back up the ramp out of the room if you picked the wrong side which was to the right there were 5 more infested just waiting. It definately got my adrenaline pumping.

I also heard that a hunter is invunerable to any form of flood.

WOW


I dont know about halo2 but i know on HCE the hunters are not invunerable, because if you remember on the level keyes, when you fall out of the ship and fight your way back to the gravity lift. There is that one room where unlimited waves of the Zits as i like to call them keep moving at a contingent of elites and 2 hunters, you watch long enough they will kill the hunters with no help from you.

Lol, but i never stay around with flood running around,
to my reaction of the flood was "die die die die die" until i realized i had no ammo and melee attacks were useless against them.

You all were lucky with your AMMO i didnt even have 1 round left! I ran threw the whole level hoping i woudl fnind a gun but nope...... but i still passed it!!!



do you know what ever happened to the MA5B rifle?
