I had this posted in the other one, then I realized that whoever started it failed to notice there is already first reaction thread, whatever. Here goes...
My first encounter with the flood was in co-op. I had just gotten an Xbox and Halo the week before but didn't have time to play at all. That weekend, my buddy Tailor came over and we sat down to beat Halo together.
After hours of play, we finally reached the level in which the flood appear. To say the least, niether of us were prepared. Me being a tactical person started lobbing plasmas and running, while shouting obscenities. Tailor just started unloading AR clips, which seemed to work fine. I just sat back and said WTF? The flood is only a bunch of damn ballooney spider johns, at which point Tailor started singing soprano. His screened flashed. Mine quickly followed. Luckily I still had all my frags. Whithin seconds they were gone. Screaming more obscenities, I attempted to use my pistol to score headshots. When that didn't work I drained my assualt rifle.
There was quiet. As we stood, hearts beating rapidly, an uneasy silence filled the room. All of a sudden, a dead body was gone, then another, and another. The red flash returned, along with the words "Goddam motherf***ing son of a b**ch!" I turned to see what was happening but as I did so, I got pimp slapped. Firing once again on these pissed off dead guys, I made a beeline for the door. On the way out I turned to throw a sticky, missed, and stuck it to Tailor. He was a short distance away and closing fast. An attempt to dart up the ramp resulted in a blue flash, and the words Waiting to Respawn...
