Me and my brother was playing co-op and we just finish celebrating after conquering AOTCR. We got to the Jenkins cut scene and we were kinda getting nervous. Then boom the little flood swarmed around us. We were not too scared. We were slapping them to conserve ammo. Then the warriors started busting thru the door we were like "holy crap!" after three deaths we managed to escape the room, and i turned to my brother, and i said, "at least they don't have weapons." then we went up to the next room, and we got owned by flood with AR and needlers. My brother was like, "Thanks a lot bro!" After several attempts we managed to escape 343 GS and made are way to the Library. When they started leaping at me, and sending rockets up my brothers ass we started to get scared again. Every little turn there was a flood man slappin and clawing at us like we killed his mother or somethin. It was so freaky.
ONe time when I was going solo on 343 GS, I spotted the flood on the hill and I was like, "Oh some help," because I was on Legendary and that particular area was tough to me (at that time, not now). but he just turned and went the other way.

I was playing on heroic (ok, normal) with my friend, and we got to the jenkins cutscene. we were like "oh holy -blam!-, what are they?" when we saw the video. "do we have to fight those?" we didn't know. the music was seriously freaking me out, then the little Flood bubbles came swarming at us, and we were like "piece of cake." then we encountered the Flood fighters and we just about crapped our pants. look at them: they have no weapon in their claws, and they're well out of smacking range. you're holding a shotgun, pistol, or assault rifle, lining up a shot, when BAM! they come flying right at you like they were shot out of a cannon! is that scary or what?

me, I totally flipped, for about 2 seconds and realized that that thing was killing me, and I went totally psycho on its ass, and the other three thousand that attacked me. And considering that I barely knew halo existed until my friend brought it over, the whole think had me freaked out.

I expected the flood to be worse then they turned out to be as I went through a level that looked like it was going to build up to a pantcreaming result but then these...these CRAP SACKS with tentacles attacked me so I shot them.

At first I thought they were new covenant until I remebered the dead elite. Then I was to busy shooting to car what the "popcorn monsters" were. (Yes thats what I called them before learning their name.)

When I first saw them I was on Halo 2 and thought they were heretics cause i couldn't see them clearly--- Then on Sacred Icon I saw what they really were and was like, "Gross--- Is that a human?" I didn't even know what they were called, but after I found out a little more about them I was freaked out... and then came the shotgun.

Well when i first saw the flood i just pulled the trigger, and carried on......and carried on.... until i got a shutgun which was the the case of 'pull trigger as quickly as possibly to get rid of the SOBs. But i first thought, what teh hell is that? it just flung its frikin body right at me!

It has been a long while since I first played that level, I don't really remember my reaction, but maybe I was suprised, Of caurse hearing Cortana's talk right before made me nervous. I actually said, after I got used to the flood, "Those poor, poor elites, hunters, Poor them, They didn't get killed by Me.." Because they could see(or not see, depending on where you were hiding) and know what they got killed by. I damned the flood for the reason that they killed MY Covenants... Ha ha..

My personal favorite thing about the flood was trying to find out what wepon worked best on the flood. I had tried useing multpule wepons includeing grenades and by the time I got to the Shot gun the Levle was over and I was like "well F**K that..."

When i first saw the flood i was like ok i can handle this considering they didnt have weapons but i swear if one snuck up on me I would have yelled 4 mommy.
When i saw that the flood had weapons thats when my ass was grass (I was playing on heroic) and i was getting slapped like a naughty cheap hoe. Since I was getting nowhere I had to come here to bungie to print the walkthrough
