I had heard my friend talk about the flood and how much fun it was to fight them.

My first reaction: "This is it?" Then the combat forms showed up. "WTF IS THAT?! GET AWAY! WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!!" From that day forward the shotgun became like a family member to me.

My first reaction to the Flood was "cool, space zombies!" Because we all know the only thing better than killing zombies is killing zombies in space.

But to pick one option from the list, I chose "are these supposed to scare me?" It's a cool idea, but the Flood are laughingly easy to dispose of, especially with any human weapon. And in Halo 2, you can run right past them in most instances.

What we need are more types of Flood. The only ones that pose a threat are the Combat types, but all they do is stand and shoot stupidly or do a suicide run. They need to have as much variety as the Covenant.

Even though I knew they were coming it was something like...holy crap! die already! ahhh! Every time I see them now I freak out in a similar manner. They really are spooky little buggers.

Halo 1: "Holy -blam!-, what the hell are those!" - first realizing that they fight as zombies and come thrashing at you stupidly - scared as hell at first - didn't know how to fight them. Then, once you figure them out (just like playing Matador with hunters) they were mostly annoying. I like fighting military style against Covies.

Halo 2 they improved - fight a lot better now (at least the elite combat forms do) - seemed a lot easier.

BTW - did anyone who beat H1 on normal find H2 on normal much easier to beat? I am going through on legendary tonight to see if it gets harder.

What would rock would be if there were Hunter flood - bigger, badder, scarrier. - be cool if the flood took over Sentinel Majors and flew them into you and shot at you.

When it had the little chapter beginning and it had "The Flood" on the bottom I was like, "What the hell? Am I gonna have to escape from a flood?" I was getting all freaked out picturing water gushing in from the sides then I heard the BOOM BOOM and I was like, "Oh -blam!- here it comes." Then the flood came in and I was like, "HOLY -blam!- THIS IS SCARIER THAN WATER!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I don't get scared much, so my first reaction to the cutscene was. "Huh. That sucks." Then they started pouring out of the doors. " I said something along the lines of "Are you kidding me? These things blow." Then the combat forms came.
I played the campain the first time through on Legendary, knowing that it would be the best experience. I also was playing co-op, and somehow my partner was killed within a few seconds after the cuscene. Maybe the exploding doors........ Anyways, once the combat forms came out, and I saw how useless the AR was, I whipped out my pistol. I said something much like Neo on the first Matrix: "Whoa." I said it just like he did, shocked, yet not quite realizing what was going on. SInce that point, the pistol became my primary flood killing weapon, more than the shotgun. On halo 2, I just dual wield.

First when the little things came out the doors I said "are these baby covanent" so I killed em all so then when I saw the combat forms I thought "did the covanant mutate or something" so I killed them too didnt really surprise me untill I saw them slaughter the covenant in the one hallway then I thought that it was a civil war between the covenant and the mutants untill 343 Guilty Spark cleared me up on the details so I played through the game and won This is my first post and yes I own a halo special edition X-Box and Halo and the collectors edition Halo 2 Bungie Rocks

Uh...sorry to say, but I despise the flood. I thought that Halo turned from a great war game to a wannabe resident Evil after the flood appeared. All of my favorites levels don't have the flood in them. Although I will admit that the the flood have a much better role in Halo 2 than they did in 1. You don't only fight the flood for three levels straight like in 1. So they don't get nearly as boring nealy as quick.
