When I saw the drop ship I knew that something was -blam!- up. I walked along the level, checking every corner, and everywhere I looked there was dead jackles every ware, -blam!- up. I walk through a random door greated by a crazy marine, I shoot him for fun. I make it to the recording and see my fellow marines got there asses kicked. I turn around for the door, but it's locked. Then I heard the banging on one of the other door's and I thought "I gotta get the -blam!- out of here!"

What hope has this alliance if we cannot conquer doubt of faith
not each other-
If our belief should falter?
But put an ear to the stones of this holy city
Inside there voices echo still:
"Seven rings begin the journey!"

it freaked me out i first saw them at 1 am

I was really scared for the rest of the level. It was very fun.

I see the words "the flood" pop up (i skipped the cutscene) and I though oh boy, a flood is going to happen. Better run. The door is breaking. I'm thinking "oh snap I'm trapped in a room that's gonna be full of water! The door breaks open. I literally yelled HOLY S#!7 WTF? And blasted away. The front door breaks open. I kill all of the squiddies and run out. A combat form pops up in front of me and I jumped. I laughed later on but i almost -blam!- my pants when I saw the combat form... wow. I was only 13 btw.

"Good thing I'm playing on Easy" is what I said to myself.

There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

The first time I played Halo's campaign was with a friend who had already beaten it. Late one night as we played through the whole thing, we reached the infamous scene in 343 Guilty Spark. It was a seemingly calm spot for me, the newbie. That was when he announced to me that "Now, we fight the flood". Innocent as a flower girl, I ask "What's the flood?". He took on a pained expression, set down the controller, and rubbed his eyes hard. That's when the first door exploded and the wretches burst forth. "That wasn't so bad", I said. "It's not over", he replied. Thinking back, I remember thinking...what a silly name to call a bunch of monster - the Flood. It only took a few minutes (that seemed like hours) for me to understand the overwhelming relevance of the term. An hour or two later, while trudging through the Library, I was hooked forever.

None of the above: my first reaction was to shoot first and ask questions later.

Well after seeing Shaun of the Dead I thought they were zombies and you had to kill them by hitting them over the head. Well I figured that wouldn't work after about the 20th time I died.

when i first saw the cut scene i was like "OMG!" and started to run out of the room and found out it was locked. i was freaking out after that and when the flood came out i was screaming and blasting away at em (I was afraid they would attatch to me so i didnt let em come near me). after most of them were dead i was like "easy as pie" THEN somthing jumped at me and i was like "HOLY -blam!- WTF!" yeah good times.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

"Ooh... nice..."

I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United Earth Space Corp;
And to the military, for which it stands;
One army, under Bungie;
Unstoppable, with Spartans, and Carbines for all!

The level where the Flood is first introduced still freaks me out. I HATE that level.

my first time playing that flood level was on a BIG SCREEN TV...and there was glare so i couldn't really see what was happening...all i saw was red (my HUD) and weird potato dudes ~blam~ing my shields to nothing...but once i picked up a rocket i felt much much better

"I will not go through that door without a shotgun!"

Thats how much the flood scared me when I first saw them.

you know the little room at the left side of the corridor where they first brake through.

Spent an Hour hiding in that room shooting anything that came through the door.

Never play 343 Guilty spark in the Dark.
