Playing Halo at 8 PM in my isolated room with a friend who doensn't have Halo. We accidently skipped the cutscene, so we didn't know what was coming. I had a assault rifle and couple of frags. When the door opened and the Flood came out I threw a frag and ran behind something and started to fire...I never played 343GS for a few months after that.

When I first saw the little infection forms, I thought they were almost laughable. Then the infected elites came out, and that was quite a different story! (I first played the level at 3 in the morning)

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.

I just remember killing them. I don't tend to react much to anything new, my sights turned red so I killed ^^

My first reaction was: WTF!? Then I started killing again. And I kept on killing...then I ran out of ammo for the pistol...and was forced to use the damned assault rifle...which sucked. i managed to save a few marines though.

If you're fast emnough, you can save up to two marines that are caught in the building. I remember walking into a room and hearing marines screeming curses and thats when I decided to help them out. I saved them both but they don't do anything except run around a pillar saying that they want to get the hell outta there. It's kinda funny. I killed them both :-)

You know a few rooms after you first see the flood, you walk in and there are still 2 or 3 marines fighting with shotguns...but then they turn into flood so it's not cool.

I can never have the meat shields long enough (when you shoot the arms off and they can't do anythin). I just get them confused and sfill em full of lead.

I had fun shooting the cabbages (infection level) with my trusty AR. Then I ran out of ammo and saw that they don't hurt they were FUN. Then came the big guys, they were taken on with my AR as well. I put them all down and went to go through the door when a heard that gurgling noise behind me. I turned around, AND THEY ALL GOT BACK UP, though none of them had arms, so that was fun. All in all, I enjoyed the challange, and also got to practice shooting at some living, breathing, CLAY PIGEONS. It was the trap shoot all over again. With my shotgun loaded with angry hippos, I shot and left trails of death in my wake.

The first time I played it was in coop with my brother. We were freakin out a bit after seeing all the covenant slaughter. My brother said: " How could we have miss the fun ". Then we saw Jenkin's recording and were like "Thats what caused this mess, wtf?". But then came the big guys and my brother was like: "Thank god we missed the party" while I was crapping my pants. They killed my brother fast and I was left to deal with the rest. I killed them all but ended so messed up. Then went up and saw that white and red lifesaver. But they nailed before I got it. I was my turn to laugh at my brothers attempts, and it was hilarious. But then, the nightmarish Library came into play. That was not funny at all.

The first time I encountered the Flood, everyone except one of my friends had played throught the game already. So me and him were going through campaign together. Once the Flood started pouring in, we kinda gave eachother a "what the hell is going on" look. All of my other friends just smiled. One of the best game moments ever.

Me and my friend were playing halo co-op and we encountered the flood on 343gs and we were basically like What the Hell is going on.

My first encounter was watching my cousin play the Library, and i thought they were covenant until i played the Two Betrayals with him on co-op and then seeing them attack the covenant, so then and from so on with the all-mighty shotgun i literally learned how to play them game getting the DIE FREAKS DIE ATTITUDE.

Mine was definitely a lot calmer than I thought it would be, because I knew it was coming (being a late-comer to Halo). With all the anticipation, I was completely unphased by the Jenkins video. The entirety of the conversation was:
"Front door, squddies moving in!"
"Right, Right!"
"Left, they're behind you!"
"They don't hurt at all..."
"Behind!"
And having seen the legendary speed runs of 343GS, I knew to throw a Plasma Grenade through the door. The only actually scary parts were the "Flood Song" [Devils... Monsters...] which I find really creepy. As for scary, the Library... Stuck in a room with a crazy blue robot with the Flood Song blaring and thousands of zombies and squid attempting to make you a stain on the floor, with 2 shots left in your shotgun and a half-empty pistol...

I think I was playing with one of my friends who introduced the game to me. I'm like, "What are THEY?" "Oh yeah. Those are the flood. There little infectious alien dudes. "Oh. Ok." ............ TATATATATATATATAATTATAATATATATATAATATATATATA
