It wasn't as scary for me, since I was playing co-op with my buddy. He approached me asking for help on it. Said needed help on '343 Guilty Spark' against the 'Flood'. He wouldn't tell me anything other than that. I freaked out when we got to the Flood room. On our way out, we just kep reassuring each other that it would all be okay, and that we'd get out alive (we take our games seriously). We felt so good when we heard Foe Hammer over the radio and saw the soldiers at the top of the elevator that we jumped up and hugged each other. Then we realized we were two guys hugging each other, immediatly ceased and got back to the damn game.

We continued the push through the swamp as our marines were assimilated into the Flood, one by one. However, we were confident that the Flood would cease before our weapons were empty (he grabbed the shotgun at the start so I was stuck with the pistol-I felt like marrying the pistol after that level). When we got to the last area and saw the Sentinels come down, my initial reaction was, "We've got Ghosts." Then, "What the...They're shooting the Flood! Huzzah!"

Yeah. That's my little story.

The music did it for me, though it was scary on legendary when a thousand bloodsucking poisenous rodent things ran at me.

ugh, you don't even want to hear my story, but here it is anyway:

I was wacthing the video and I was wondering what those little things were, so me and my friend were playing and we saw big red blips on our motiong trackers and we were so scared, that when the popped out I threw down my controller and ran away screaming "I'm not fighting those, i'm not fighting those fraky little things!". After my friend dragged me back in, so we reverted to saved, my friend took position in front of me kneeling down, when the flood came out I started shooting randomly at anything and everything, i ended up killing my friend and only a few of the flood, so I ended up killing all the flood by myself so i conquered my fear of them really quickly.

lol... I'm a rookie player, so when I got Halo I was stoked.... I was having a blast until I got hit by the flood... scared the mess out of me at first... It was freaky. But the further one I went, with the shotgun, it was okay... I loved watching the Covnent and the Flood duke it out... I've almost beaten Halo, I've just got that last run to go... ;)

Hey, does Halo 2 involve the Flood too? I mean, did they find a way to bring 'em back?


Yup there back but there are less of them, can drive vehicles{Tanks too},look better and the infection forms can revive dead combat forms as long as their bodies are intact. Also they have half and A.I.

WHEN I GOT HALO 2 IN EB GAMES AT 12:00 I LITERALY BEGAN TO CRY, THEN I WENT HOME BEAT CAMPEIGN THEN HAD A MINATURE LAN PARTY UNTIL 8:00 A.M. -SNAKIERCORD

this is to wonderbread, i think yur right they do get annoying but there not smart, and not organized like the humans or covenant.we need a more challenging race than the covenant in halo 1, but halo 2, its hard enough (i play only on legendary)

i got into halo real late, like summer 2004 late, so i knew some things about the flood, but i had no idea how ugly they were. the little infection forms started 'flooding' into the room and i was screaming 'holy crap!! they never said they were dangerous' and then the combat forms....well, i just prayed until i got the shotgun, after which it was smooth sailing...until the library.....

Wait, if your playing Legendary, in the cutscene, those marines couldn't have possibly lasted longer than they did. Don't you guys think?

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

When I saw Jenkins(sp?) video, that kinda creeped me out. I'm like "Oh crap!" Then i just shot like non other.

I was over at my friend's house, and he had told me about how the flood are little things that feed off of you.... so i was like, ok then, bring it on. we got to thier first level and all the little ones all came out and we easily blew them away. I had gotten pretty cocky at that point.... right up until those combat forms jumped at me. I think i had a pistol, but i blew it away and nearly crapped myself when the thing got back up again!

I had the misfortune of being one of the people to get an X-Box and the original Halo very late. I got both for Christmas 2003. I slowly grew more skilled at playing Halo as the months went by, but my new-found skills didn't help out by the time I met the flood. I was scared to death when I saw them (because of that damn long silence before they started showing up). I have heart problems at my young age (20), and when the Flood started showing up in my game, I literally almost had a heart attack. I take games very seriously for some reason, and I get nervous and worried when I get to something in a game that's new to me and very tough. Holy crap. But it was a great thrill. Now I can fight the Flood in Halo without geting over-worried (actually, I could after about a week after I met them).

Actually, I'm hoping they somehow appear in Halo 2. They were pretty cool enemies.

The Flood for me was what kicked my killing instincts into gear. At first, I would always retreat and retreat time after time, but it was not something that scared the Master Chief out of me.

I h8 the flood so much, they just seem to keep on comin, dey fall down den get bak up and jump on ya.; i remeber the first time that happened to me, I filled it a full clip of my assault rifle (back in the Halo days) i walked over to it and it jump up and took a swipe at me. I had a shotgun in my back pocker so it wuz all good. but to this day I can't stand seeing the flood. ill tell u wat, if bunige were to take ';em out of the next halo game, I won't be crying. The flood don't rly scare me, but they piss me off when they just keep falling from a vent above you. and they jus don't seem to die, and dey could be out matched and keep charging at you. so i bak off shoting as im moving back, and dey jus won't retreat. so I HATE THE STUPID -blam!- FLOOD WHO DON"T RETREAT!!!!!!! :D
