when i first saw the flood it was kinda frealy but what with a little bravery and lots of bullets i worked through it
i read the little packet from halo 2 and in the credits it said flood so i knew they were in halo2 before i played it

When I first played that level and saw the covenant running from somthing, I knew that there was something there that was freaky. When I saw the Jenkins video I was very, very desturbed but I was expexting somthing to happen. When the little ball dudes came I was not very freaked out, because I never knew anything about the combat forms. Now when those suckers came flying in the room, I was really freaked out, they were all jumping super high in the air and smacking me. My exact words when they came in would have probably been "Oh......My.......God.....WTF IS THAT!" I really did think it was a weapon created by the covies, but whent wrong somewhere, then of course I went online and actually learnd about the Forerunner. After the encounter with those combat forms, the rest of the level was quite freaky, but when I whent up that lift and found some good old marine buddies, I felt good, but then they said we were gona charge out.....there.....where THEY live......then I was once again freaked out, then when I saw the sentinals im all like "what the hell....im getting help from robots??"

Yeah, I can easily say that, playing 343 GS for the first time, is the only time I've ever actually been nervous playing a video game. The music and suspense of the whole thing was incredible. I was 19 the first time I played through HALO:CE. To this day, 4 years later, I am still a bit nervous of that level.

I let my shotgun do the talking, but after a while you seem to get to know the flood, just the covenant, know their weaknesses, know their strenghths, so they became somewhat of a bore to me. -sigh-....................................................... ........................Anyway............................... ......

well lets see i kinda knew something was coming when i saw the grunt blood all over the wall of the elevator so i was ready for something scary and i kinda knew what they looked like because at the start of the level when you cross the log and you see green blips on the radar if you look at the bllips you will see them

It was late at night, me and my brother were playing coop, Pvt. Jenkin's mission log played and we were silent, we saw the crazyness and the death of the troops, during the cinamatic I remember saying one thing over and over again: "please don't put me in now, please keep the cinamatic going, please keep going" then our fears were realized and we relied on our adrenaline rushed twitchy reflexes to shotgun them. It was awesome, one of the coolest moments in the game, and after we got through the library we were left with a great sense of relaxation, accomplishment, and puddles beneath us.

first off i started wandering around looking at the dead bodies and seeing the shadows thinking "hmmmm this should be good" then i see the hall ways lined with purple blood and im like "SOMEBODY got their covy A-- handed to them" then im seeing the dripping stuff and im getting a little bit freaked out, then as jenkins video starts when its black for a few seconds i thought u had to press a button to make it play so i did and it scipped it so im like "DAMNIT" then the little guys burst through and i ran around the room about 9 times firing at them yelling "I LOVE POPPING BALLOONS" then the combat forms came and im like "ooooooo....sh-t.....AHHHHHHHHHH" then i spent about 2 hours running through that place trying to find out where to go. it was better than res evil.

It reminded me of the mines of moria but more zombyish. The crazy guy who fires at you scared me, i then thought all marines we evil and shot the majority. only to discover when you get out of the place and there are marines. They all killed me. so lovely. Also i hate it when the lift blows up. I was so not expecting that. I felt quite unprepared.

I jumped while emptying my clip and running backwards.--This all happened at 3:00 in the morning after I had been up for about 20 hours. Things get blown out of propotion when you're half delusional.

I was playing it with my friend on co-op. 2 AM, and we are the only ones awake. Our actually response, extremly close to the real thing.

"What's that?"-me, after hearing the banging noise.
"I dunno..."-micheal
"WTH ARE THOSE???"-me.

Niether of us have fired yet. We waited to see if they were hostile. One jumped on me.

"Dude, one's on you!"-micheal
"Shoot him. SHOOT HIM!"-me

We then unleashed our assault rifles.

"Look, they're banging down the door we came in through. Time to get out I guess"-me

The door is bashed open and combat forms fly at us.

"AAAAHHHH!!"-me
"WOAH!"-micheal

We escape, and are exhausted after that level.

"I need some caffiene..."-me

Do we dare continue playing after we get mountain due? HELL YES!

I personally thought that Bungie ran out of ideas and needed something to get the game out on the market, not having enough time of-course said,
'Hum... I don't know, I guess we could do like, zombies, anything else?
'No'
'Ok then, zombies it is...' :(
And couldn't do something really cool as i believe they would... having time... Any way I really thought they kinda sucked, they were fun to blast for about five seconds then just became annoying. No character and less tact then wet mice on roller-blades. I'm sick of games with zombies! They just suck!

(But the rest of the game was just strait up genius)

It took me a while to move forward after the crazed marine incedent. Then after the Jekins video I was a bit relive. That was until the combat forms burst into the room then the only thin that went through my mind was "OH SH---". It took me almost the rest of the night to leave that room.

My first reaction was like "...Door getting pounded...seen the aliens movies....should i run?....oh they are just balloons lol....not just balloons...whew, now I never have to see them again!...TEN doors of flood!?!? (If you don't get the joke, play through Halo 1 and go through the GS missions, you'll get it then) :P
