My last name is Jenkins, so when Private Jenkins camera cut out, it scared the crap out of me, it was late, and i was by myself, i had never heard anything about the flood. One of the best moments in video game history.........

I agree, didn't care about Halo until I played it, so never heard about anything so the the flood surprised and scared the crap out of me. Aaaah, the good ol days.

it was late at night like 12 and i was on this level, the sounds and music scared the crap out of me, all the blood, and dead men, the mentally insane dude also freaked me out, but when the video of the johnson and what the heck are those things? and then it occured to me "i have to fight these things" when the doors broke open and the creapy buggers came close thats when the crap hit the fan and i actually jumped and turned it off... when i came back to play it its was fine but the first impression really made me run for my life, it was a good introduction to the flood * in a scary way *

I had accidentally skipped the cinematic the first time I played and so entered the room blisfully ignorant of my impending doom. my first reaction to the little tikes was "Are they squid?" Then they jumped on me and took my shields down and I went "EVIL DEVIL SQUID.DIE DIE DIE FREAKOZOIDS" and then my mum came and asked me what I was doing and i said, 'just playing' and she looks at me weird.

Yep. The worlds got me dizzy again.

My first reaction was "HOLY -blam!-!" The Flood scared the heck out of me. The reason for that was that I had just finished watching a scary movie and was already alittle freaked out by the movie. Also, it was about 1:30 in the morning and raining out. When I saw the Flood I fell off my couch.SERIOUSLY!

Here's an account of what happened:

I watched the cutscene and heard the music cue up so i knew some where coming. Then I looked at the 'dar and I'm like:

"OMG!!! They're everywhere, so many!!"

So I spin around a lot in case they sneak up and I see the tiny flood comin out of that hole in the wall and I start pistoling them.

Bad miskate, evidently they get mad when you do that. So from then on it was AR, Shottie and Needler for the bigguns. I was scared at first, but then just ran through all the rooms a few times, killing everything that moves and serching for an exit. I was even more scared when they started picking up guns.

My Lord! Most of you are all saying "Holy Blam, I jumped 50 feet." I simply thought "Wow, more stuff to kill. God, they are so ugly," and then when I saw a combat form I thought "God, that is so ugly. I bet I can make it even uglier." I did.

When i first saw the video i thought the marines were being attacked by boogers and was like WTF!? Then when i was attacked i was like oh -blam!- and totally magnumized them. When i started fighting all three types with the shotgun it scared the -blam!- out of me, and i suddenly got ganged up on by all three forms. After the wave a last carrior form blew up on me and lowered my sheilds, so i thought "Finally, a brake", turned around, infection form tackled my face, and i died, vut my dignity didn't respawn for a few hours after that! Oh yeah, does anyone else think the carriors look like three-balled testicles?

Haha yeah good memories of 343 Guilty Spark, except I played it really late at night with the lights off. The first time I got whacked by a lunging flood, I didnt flinch or anything, rather, I said (very loudly) "YOU F U C K E R!," and pumped him full of lead. I love making big deals about my shield being delepleted. I was more mad that he hurt me than scared.

It brought me closer to playing an FPS Resident Evil, which is a good thing. I was a little dissappointed that they were to kill me with numbers rather than bosses. Big scary things that I could never defeat in reality are fun.

Personally, when I first encountered The Flood, I nearly quit the game it scared me so much! But then I thought, "It's just a game, it's not real". So I keep playing and keep scaring myself, because when I am on the walkways above the floor where THEY are, I turn around to find a Human Form right behind me! Many other times similar things like this happened.

Lets just say im kind of in the mood to shoot them in the face. O, and when i shot them with a sniper, i was like, what the crap? I unloaded all my sniper ammo on it, then it finally died, just in time for me to see it get back up and shoot me with a rocket. They arent that bad.
