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

When I got Halo for the PC after playing Halo for the Xbox only a week I tried to go though the whole thing on Heroic. I did fine until I found the flood...and started dying every few minutes getting suck on the first few checkpoints for almost two hours. I changed the difficulty setting, beat the game, and then went through again; this time I was ready for the challenge. I took up my MA5B Assault Rifle and...DIE FREAKS DIE DIE DIE!!!

the first time i played the flood was at 10:00 in the morning with a friend who had already beaten the game so i wasn't really fazed, epsecially after i had my hands on a shotgun..... the movie was probably the most freaky part. the pimples weren't scary at all

It was freaky. I went into shock and lost all focus. when i woke up i realized that I needed to finish the level and be done with it. run, shoot, run, shoot, run, shoot, run, pause to put pants in laundry machine, run, wait! an elevator please go up. Foehammers voice, marine commentary... AMMO!!! I was alive, ALI... wait, what are those flying things... "Greetings! I am 343 Gulity Spark!" Flash of light... oh crap... one solid level of nothing but flood...changes clothes as all others were soaked with a mixture of piss and a hopeless boy's tears.

I was playing the game at one in the morning. I had been blasting away at Covenant forces for hours that evening, and I sure as heck wasn't ready for that part of the game. At first, as I was going through the building, I thought the Covenant was trying to turn Humans into one of them. That was just me going on my instinct as I got bits and pieces. When i got to the guy in the doorway I thought at first he'd come help me, but instead I left him there. "What an idiot," I thought. When i saw the scenimatic, though, i started pumping with adrenaline. I was literally scared to die in the game, scared to death. The little pod things weren't the problem for me, it was the walking freak-shows. They freaked me out a bit too much. I ran through that level and got out without dying, and hoped I'd never have to see those things again. Of course I did, but I put up with them.

It was probably the closest to a horror movie Halo or Halo 2..3..4 will ever get. but it has about 10...000000 more aspects to go until it really is horror. but hey, thats not wat halos about, halo (and halo2) is about killing, shoving your -blam- down covenants oddly shaped woman part throats and shotfunning anyone in your way

When I was playing I saw the blood, an how the bloods dicretion, I was srarting to freak out and It was like mass murder,then I got to the area were they first poped up, then my radar picked up hell loads of enemys and I was like CRAP .The small ones were easyer than I thoght but, the taller flood, that Freaked me out. Later I shot both there arms out and noticed they were using dead bodys. But I was freaked out by the numbers they came in.

my first reaction to the flood wasnt very cinematic

i was on the level before the flood and i didnt even know they existed

i was at my friends house playing halo 2 (because i only have PC)
and we were playing co-op and i was like coooooool we can be elites now

and then i saw the flood and i was like wtf are those?
and my friend said "there the flood" ".......................the flood?"
"yeah didnt you get that far in halo yet?" "no but now i wanna go home and play it!"
and thats exactly what i did

i played on halo PC. I actually modded it a bit so that i was invincible and shot rockets from my assault rifle..but..they not scary. At all. You may ask why, and the answer is my graphics card is so old, that they looked like walking shadows..or something..or like bubble shadows...so when i got it for the xbox i was like OMFG i am so screwed! and the one poped into me and i was like "oh...thats not too bad...barely did anything". And then the other 1000 came...

LOL

I had played Halo a bit before...but just random levels cause it was my flatmate's game ^^;

While he was busy playing something else on his laptop i decided to play it through from start to near the end (there was no way i'd be able to do the warthog run thingy...it would take me a zillion times!)

Any way...as i'd seen him play through the first couple of levels as he wanted some practice b4 Halo 2 came out...I walked through it kinda easy...easiest difficulty hehe ^^;

But when the level for the flood came i started getting scared...."what do i do now? i can see anything!!"

I also thought that it was the convenant changing humans into weird zombie things...How wrong was that guess...Then came the cold sweat and the shaking and the OMFG!!!

"What do i do!! There's -blam!- millions of the Buckers!!!" "HELP!"

"Just use the shotgun...cause i didn't have one and died...but getting one the second time i was still sh17 scared...but i made it...by running my ass off all the way...leaving the other poor souls behind hahahaha

The whole buildup before you finally encounter the flood was perfectly done.

Basically "Halo" goes "Silent Hill"...

The whole time going through the building my thoughts were "What the hell happened here?" and I listened to the crazy marine for a few moments and then killed him (heh, pistol ammo). Then you finally find Jenkins' helmet and see a glimpse of what happened, but you only see the small parasite flood (what I call the Head Crabs). When you go one-on-many with the flood immediately after you get swarmed by tons of the head crabs and combat forms (ESPECIALLY ON LEGENDARY) and tied in with bone chilling music... and that I was playing in surround sound at nighttime in the dark (so i could hear those stupid parasites all around me)... it was "awesomly scary"

My first reaction to the flood was a swift frag grenade to the middle of the horde followed by machinegun bursts to mop up the little ones. I thought to myself "hmm, that wasn't so bad." Then I ran into the flood wielding pistols and assault rifles. They too were smited by the almighty frag grenade. At this point they did however succeed in pissing me off for the rest of the game.

mine was more along the lines of: Hah look at the covenant run! (few mins later). ok...cutscene...WTF? AGHHHHH! TINY LITTLE HEADS! DIEEEEE! (a min of stamping on freaky little heads liater). WTF is that? Oh hell there's loads!
Then it was just oh ok. floods back. pass the shotgun.
Rocket launcher wielding flood is really annoying.
