the build up was great; but at first I didn't know how to fight them. Now my favorite level is the library on legendary using mainly the pistol, and the shotgun when it got out of control.

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

same here, now I cant really say what I said, but basicly "OH BLAM, HOLY BLAM, WHERES THE BLAMING DOOR!!!!!!!!!" sums it up pretty well, lol

I almost Blam my pants when i saw the flood for the first time.
Then turned around and saw the door locked....

Just pulled out my AR and watched the infections pop...
Saw the combat forms and freaking Ran away...

Then i got to the elevator and let out a sigh of relief... until i realised it was going ... Down.

At the end of the level i saw my marine squad and freaking partied!

Saved 5 of them too. Then comes the convieniently annoying plot device.

Holy Blam! Was my first reaction. Wheres the -Blam!- door! (When combat forms came) What the hell? What kind of freaks are you!

I played alone so it was kind of freaky, in the dark

That was a bit stupid when you meet with the marines cos all you could hear was "Uhh!" and "Show me what you got!" and "We're all dead!" and all of a sudden all your marines are dead.

The first time I saw the flood I almost tiped my lazy boy over backwords. I had the volume truned up realy loud and a combat form jumped right in front of me. I accidently through a grenade and it landed on a carrier form that was next to me. It blew up and I died, then the grenade went off and shot me into the sky. And I had full grenades besides the plasma grenade that I through at the carrier.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

Flood is a semi-parasitic lifeform that can adapt by infecting covenant or humans.Don't worry.The flood lifeforms and virus is on all seven halo rings.


They also infect Forerunners, otherwise they'ed be still around.

As to my reaction it was simply Pull the trigger, have a closer look when its not moving.

my first reaction was "holy crap what the hell scared that guy," i stared at the marine until he killed me so then i respawned and shot his face. but the scariest is looking at the elite with that huge hole in his chest i just freaked out. all the infection forms popped on my oversheild but the combat forms killed me

i did it the weird way. i beat halo 2 first then halo. but i think the flood look freakier in halo2. usually when i get to the first flood part i jump off the platform that spins and descends. then land where the flood spawn with a sword. i wait for the platform to come down while everything dies. occasionally when a flood pops up and crawls up the wall i slice it off for a little fun. but the first reaction was throwing a grenade then killing myself accidentally with it

My first reaction was something like ''Cool!'' or at least something different. I like how the flood have their own 'colony' and as well that they are good for fighting.

lol, the first time I played Halo, it was the PC version and I was playing in my room at night when the flood came and I kinda freaked out... my first reaction was "Hmm... 'The Flood' - what is that supposed to mean? Woah, woah! What the?! What are these things?!" and then I thought "It's ok Devin, they're just... just... walking vegetables, thats all...oh no, why did this have to turn into one of those zombie shooting games?!" but once I found out the rest of the story I liked it.

I pissed myself. Scared the crap outta me. It was like 1 a.m. and I knew I was never going to sleep after that so I just stayed up all night playing.

Seriously, I ran around like Chicken Little for a minute trying to get my bearings and then wasted myself with a grenade. In short, I did the same thing most other people did. It was very "unmarine" like which is quite embarrassing seeing I am a former Marine. :0

Some of the flood in Halo 2 have shields which annoys me because i have to waste more bullets on them.

I saw em i remember syin "BLOODY HELL GET BACK HOLT -blam!-. once i got em after a slight pause the combat forms came i was WTF WTF!!!! blam blam! i pressed the right trigger aimlessely until 2 minutes i realised i had no ammo so i did the only logical thing i ran in circles beating crazily with. i actually finished the level with no ammo i had nightmares for days
