first reaction to the flood? well as a genetically enhanced cyborg supersoldier i did what anyone else would do in that situation. I soiled myself, panicked then ran around the room hoping that they'd get bored or lost. Eventually i sucked it up and did what a more stable person would do, fire the biggest gun i had at them. This was the AR. Hmm, size doesnt matter in halo:ce it seems. Once met with the combat forms who KEPT GETTING UP i decided that the AR was the worst gun ever, considering that on the face of things it seemed to be an angry death dealing bullet hose. In reality the AR turned out to have as much damage capability as a bunch of tulips (which i wish i had had at the time).

Overall the first encounter with flood was a terrifying experience, no thanks to the rifle, and is on par with the first hunter meeting (also thanks to AR) in terms of "WHY WONT THEY JUST DIE?!!!"-ness.

Orange or green blood anyone?

I loved it. It was refreshing. The assault rifle is useless if used in a scattered manner. The pistol was most helpful against spores. I got a god forsaken headache during all of the running through identical rooms crap, but trudged on. it ROCKED!!!!!!

I played Halo 2 first. And, to be honest... I wasn't really paying enough attention during the Oracle level the first time through to notice anything was really going on. But when I got to the Sacred Icon level I thought I had fallen asleep while playing and had entered a dreamworld. The whole gaming experience changed for me. My first reaction was, "OMG... Halo is a zombie game... I've been playing a space zombie game and I didn't even know it." My second reaction was thinking what a great move it was on Bungie's part to have something like the Flood in their game. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but the great three way sci-fi wars are waged between the same three combatants: An industrial side (humans, Terran, UNSC), a biological side (Aliens, Zerg, Flood), and a ceremonial side (Predators, Protos, Covenant). This seems to be a winning combination and Bungie hit the nail on the head.

They killed my lovely marines!!!!!!
I hated them from the very first moment, I needed 3 months to get out of the 343 Guilty Spark level and I didn't go back there until half a year later when I was doing it on heroic.
I think I didn't do it on legendary, but I can't remember...
I still remember doing Library on Legendary though, that was fun!

well when i first got to 343 gs i didn"t think about zombies but when i got inside the building and saw the marine that was shooting at me and going crazy and there was suff dripping from the roof i knew right then and there something was up then when you open the door and the marine falls on you its so freaky man and when i saw jenkins video and those flood infections i said what the heck are those then i knew they were not covenant and i would have too fight them to get out of the building.


im sorry to dissapoint you but the stuff dripping has nothing to do with the flood cause ive seen it in AOTCR and POA. Its some kind of covenant coolant.

I was playing Halo 2 killing every thing but my minions and then I get to that first room with the flood. All the infection forms come and I'm like "No prob!". Then I'm fighting the Combat forms and after I kill them I notice that there's still a red dot on the radar after I kill them and think "Wierd glitch". Then mor infection forms come and I see them jumping into the combat forms' bodys and I'm freaking out when they start coming back so I start screaming "HOW DO YOU KILL THESE THINGS FOR GOOD?!!!! DIE FREAKS! DIE DIE DIE!" I learned two seconds later from my brother who had already beaten the game maybe ten times that you can get rid of them for good with the sword, rocket launcher, or FRG.

Pie anyone?

lol

i was playin for awhile and just havin fun. when i started the first map with the flood or "food" i was going to act all real about it and make everything seem real.
so i walk in the room with that crazy marine......and just start freakin out. he was talking about me not turning me into one of those things....??? so i see the jenkins video and see those things running around, so i think to myself.....are they really that hard to shoot. when the lvl started and said the flood and the little balloon things come down, i say to myself, no sweat. after killing most of those little things i run out the door looking behind me.....bad idea. i get smacked in my back so i turn around and theres this zombie with half a head slapping me. AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! RUN!!!!! i tryed to stay in the game alittle longer but there was just more and more and more flood. i turned off the game and went to sleep....sorta. i still havent beat Halo. of course i like to play around with them every now and then but not very long,

um yeah what he said...i guess

  • 03.14.2005 4:22 PM PDT

My little brother and i were playing late that night before on easy and back then that was hard for us. We agreed to stop when we got to that level. The next morning he woke me up and persuaded me to play. we saw them and we paused the game to contemplate because we r both -blam!-s and we got kinda freaked out. So he said the infection forms were taking over elites and marines and warping them how you know they do. I though they were a whole new race of aliens. because he is my little, ignorant brother i ovcourse won the argument. we unpaused the game thinking they were easy to kill. Oh how we were wrong.

Ill never forget the time i saw a flood get back up after i throughly pumped it full of lead

when i first met the flood i was playing halo in a church at 11:00 at night on the level Keyes. i was new, so this dude was like these are harder to kill, not like the covenent. an elite combat form came at me so i shot it with the shotgun. i was like "that was easy" he was like no, watch it. i thought whats it gonna do, get back up? it did. i freaked. Later, i played thru the library at my grandmamas house at night. i must have died a million times, 3 at the imfamous last door alone. im very scared of zombies( thank you resident evil at age 5). needless to say, i was shaking uncontrollably after i finished the level.

The whole 343 level was kinda creepy, especially that first guy that shoots you. Strangely enough, my first reaction was how the hell did they bash down that door. That was followed by awww, they're so cute! That was quickly followed by OH MY GOD GET THEM OFF!!!!
