I offered them a stick of Juicy Fruit. One proceded to take the whole pack and steal my Warthog.



i offerd them some gushers in the libary when i got there, and i found your juicy fruit! (gives it to KiLLyourTV.) but then, they attacked and my gushers where gone. ;(

My first reaction to the Flood was, "HOLY S$%T, that thing is UUUUUUUUGGGLY!" Followed by -blam!- -blam!- -blam!- -blam!- -blam!- and lots of cursing like, "!@#$%^&*(), WHY WON"T THESE DAMN UGLY THINGS DIE??? AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!"

Really, that WAS my first reaction.

I was awake late at 1:30 in my basement with surrond sound and nobody had been awake for about 3 & 1/2 hours. The first time I saw these things I was like:
"What the hell are those things!"
Once I got used to it though I kinda liked blowing their green guts out with a shotgun.

I had what i now realize to be a fairly common experience: I was up till all hours when i was hit with this really freaky cutscene, freaky little bubble things, and even freakier, unkillable, shambling mutants. I turned it off and went to sleep. Came back the next day and they weren't so bad...

No matter what you do in life, you will disappoint someone.
No matter what you say, you will offend someone.
No matter what you think, someone will think you're an idiot.

Find and eliminate these people.

I was playing co-op with my friend (I didn't own the game yet and he was only that far) and we got to where the flood show up.

My reaction............

HOLY -blam!-!!!!!!! RUN! RUN! RUN!

This was when I was a NOOB.
So to keep it short......

I QUIT!

i need some sleep.....

i hate bees...

no rest for the weary...

acutlly at first it was something like disappointment... i was playing it at midnight on new years eve by myself in the dark. and leading up to finding the flood was scary then when i found out they were little squid things..... but then it got better for a little bit when i saw the zombie guys...

I didn't like them either. They would get up in front of you and you could not kill them easily so you ended up jumping over them or shooting them till you ran out of ammo.

  • 10.12.2004 3:50 PM PDT

Friends are essetial to survival...they give the enemy something to shoot at.

While I had heard of this "Flood," on other websites, nothing prepared me for the sight of these gray skinned goonies...

Well, as soon as the level starts you know something is up, but once I reached the downed Pelican, and listened to the message playing there, I was genuinely unnerved. Not to mention the friendly radar blips, and shadows of Marines on the cliffs above you.

Upon my arrival at the entrance to the underground base, and seeing the gunfire, I thought that my fears had been for naught, and that a squadron of armed Marines would greet me around the corner. I was wrong.

Moving even further into the base presented me with the famous "There's the Elevator, But Nobody's On It," scene. Well, I haven't seen many horror movies, but I did have the common sense to know that something bad and scary was just around the corner.

Well that was an awfully long corner, but the rooms full of slaughtered Covenant, and the half-crazed Marine sealed the deal for me. I thought about quitting right there and then, but a morbid curiosity kept me going...

Boy do I hate morbid curiosity! After the Jenkins video, I nearly soiled my new underpants, but kept telling myself that the Flood weren't real...Well at least in the real world...The Infection forms did it for me. I quit then, but the next week, I mustered up some courage and blasted my way outta there!

The squadron of Marines that greet you towards the end of the level gave me some semblance of relief, but sadly, since I was so hyper-adrenalated (Is that a word? LOL!) I shot one in the leg. Running towards the extraction zone while my fellow marines were being killed all around me seemed to make my trigger finger all the more itchy, seeing as I tried to "save" my fellows by shooting the Infection forms off of them, killing them in the process. When Guilty Spark finally showed his face...er, lense...I really didn't know what to expect, but at least by the end of the level I wasn't afraid of the Flood anymore. Hehehehe...

My first reaction really was possibly nothing similar to any of yours. It's weird. Well, here goes.

"What the hey? Are these? Hmmm... LOoks like.. Calamari! (and hence from then on I called the little infestation maggot Calamari... Squid thinga' magig'. LOL!)"

mine was pretty much the same thing playing late at night... they pop up.... I get startled and think they're gross and developed a strong hate and desire to melee the crap out of all of their dead bodies just to make sure

When i first saw the flood me and my best mate were playing through halo day i got it. We found the guy who shoots at you and didnt think that anything would happen until we got to the door where the marine drops on you. Some how we ended in one of the small side rooms blasting the flood with the pistol screaming AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! hehe it was fun.
