My friend ruined the surprise for me so l knew it was coming - l just didn't know when. So when l saw the come crashing through the door l'm like pfsht that's nothing. But those were just the infection forms. My friend never said anything about big ass, crazy zombie creatures that jump really high and look gross and evil. So the "Oh -blam!-!" element was still there.

When I was living at home I had come from work one evening this was about 3 years ago and I walked on my brother playing halo ce he was on the library level. I was watch for about ten minutes and I got my first look at a flood form I think it was a carrier or combat form the minute I saw that thing I wanted puke my guts out and I had nightmares for two days some experience eh.

Happy 5th Halo CE and happy 2nd Halo 2
Both games still keep my blood flowing

Become the hunter.

I was like "oh $#!7" when I finished that recording in the helmet and the doors started to break open. I didn't know what they could do so I didn't let a single one near me at first, and then I found out they couldn't do much damage. Then a combat form jumped through the last door...

also sorry to say but the flood levels got repetitive. oh look the same hallway just faceing the other way. oh flood comeing out the same looking holes on the wall. it was still fun though.

First time I saw flood my friend and I were playing co-op me for my first time. I was thinking hold **** what the hell? He just told me to run and I ended up fighting off the entire flood while my friend got to the end of the level

When i first met the flood in the level 343 Guilty Spark...i nearly shat my pants.

Then the Library came to be...and the had the Carrier forms and the Combat forms weilded Rocket Launchers...i had to change my pants.

Then Two Batrayals, when i was finally used to them...they jumped across the gap between the two suspended bridges...i shat a brick.

The Flood always, somehome, found a way to scare me...and to this day i still hate them and fear them. Best twist ever.

When I saw them I was killed instantly by the giant wave of them jumping so I didn't even know what happened. I was just walking along and then I was dead I thought it was some sort of error
