The worst thing that happened to me when i was playing the flood was when i would shoot the crap out of one of the big flood dudes, and i would walk away.........but in like 5 second i would be getting smacked my something else, then i found out that after you kill them, they sometimes get rite back up and kill ya some more. That was when i was a noob

I saw it and went "O -blam!-. This is not good." After i cut one down and it got back up I went " What the HELL? You're dead stay down!" and shot off it's arm and body with about 5 shot shells.

I wasn't too scared of them at first. But I played 343GS and The Library in Jackson, Wyoming at about midnight. It was January and we were snowed into the family cabin, and unfortunately the gurgling of old pipes in the wee hours of the morning sounds a lot like hordes of Flood...

My first reaction was: "Wow! It's like Doom meets Resident Evil meets Metroid Prime! Cool!"
The next 2 hours I spent moving VERY cautiously through the level, not caring about ammo, and screaming, as that is how I overcome fear in a game; catious movement and firing frenzies followed by loud outbursts when I jump out of my skin! lol

this isn't exactly my first reaction but one time my friend and i were playing halo on the pc and we were in two betrayals. we saw something on the radar right beside us but nothing happened. my friend turned around only to discover to his discontempt that it was a flood combat form with no arms molesting him with its tentacles(the ones on their chest). we responded as so: holy f***!!! ka-blam ka-blam ka-blam!!! thats right folks, three, count 'em, THREE shells into that little mutha before it even hit the ground

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

I don't like the flood they're boring now. Couldn't you have them rapidly evolve into super intelligent zombie like creatures that take over covenant & human ships & try to take over a planet. & one more thing make the campaign go for longer in the 1st Halo i finished it in 2 days, & in the 2nd i finished it in 1 day. I wanna play a game that takes a month or 2 to finish. Just a suggestion.

at the start of the level u walk along and as soon as you see the top part of the fallen down tree, you zoom with piston at the roots at the top and u see a combat form run down it. also there are flood on the top of the level to your right (on the tree, u look to yur right and u see flood running away). also the flood on the opisite side of the tree.

anyway, my first reaction to the flood was: Oh CRAPP!! i hope they don't kill me. but that was because my big bro couldn't get past the first infection form fart cus he thought it was "too scary". when i played it i beat the level thinking; wat the hell was he thinking? ITS NOT SCARY.

Away from XBOX LIVE until both Doom 4 and Bungie's new game are released. The Flood will consume you.

It was on Legendary, at night with my cousin. It was pretty easy with only grunts and jackals but when you start seeing the suffering and gore they went through to keep the flood out, we were worried. After the cut scene w/ sarge, we were pretty tense. Then ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh there here bwaaaaaaaahhhhhh. I die he running shooting his A rifle. And when it starts all over again w/ the infected ones, it was pretty scary but cool.

We call em popcorn kernels or kernels for short. There cute too. I'm gonna draw a christmas card for my friends and print it out. The flood thing will have a santa hat on.

I was playing at night, alone, and I nearly shat myself. I could tell from the start that something was up, and that I'd be in for a scare, but I just didn't know what. As soon as I got to the Marine, I was already getting very twitchy, in fact the moment the door opened and I saw movement I shot him in the face and subsequently wasted half my assault rifle ammo... by the time I actually began to fight the Flood I was terrified and shot anything that I saw that had even the vaguest resemblance to one. Just to make things worse, I got totally lost and disoriented, it took me nearly 2 or 3 hours to finally find a way back to the surface, by which time I had an empty shotgun and only about 3 pistol rounds left. I still try and avoid playing Flood levels whenever I can... they seriously freak me out. And after reading the books, it only gets worse.

What really scares me is when they pop up out of what seems to be nowhere, and you stand your ground blasting away with the shotgun, "DIE YOU MOTHER, YOU WANT SOME TOO, -blam!- YOOOUUUUU!"... but they just keep coming and forcing you back, and no matter how many rounds you pour into them, you just can't see an end coming... you sit there while thier mangled corpses pile up at your feet and still they throw themselves at you, until after about 10 minutes solid of this you realise with a shock and a feeling of despair and impending doom that you only have 3 shotgun shells left, and your pistol ran out of ammo half an hour ago back in the deep rooms... not only that, but the ambient sounds, the level, the fog, the terrified Marine, the whole ddamn level is one of the best, scariest ones I've played in any game. Halo and Halo 2 have to be the only two games where I will literally jump out of my seat in fright while playing, and that goes for multiplayer too like on Rat Race when I hadn't seen my friend for about 10 minutes, there was this oppressive silence, and then he jumped out from around the corner and actually ran into me... that was insane.

One other insanely scary thing I remember was when I was playing the Maw once (it's happened a few times since)... I killed about 10 Flood and was just picking up ammo before moving on, when I realise one of them wasn't quite dead. The others were all dead, their tentacles flopped limply, but this one's were waving about in the air as though it was still alive. It didn't get back up, but I made sure I kept careful watch back the way I'd come...

I'm all like, what are these dudes. I was just 13 when I played it, so I was freaked out. It was so hard to shoot them! Finally, found a shotgun and Wham. Those MF were dead. When I saw one feeding on an elite, I threw up. But then, I just continued killing those freaky little dudes
