it was looking at my radar and seeing all the movement, followed by wave after wave of infection forms. died first time coz had low ammo! then, when the flood forms started flying around i was like "i need a shotgun... now!"

they reminded me of The Thing and theres a fanfic about it here.Very well written.
But they scared the crap outta me and I couldn't even look at them. I stared at the floor untill they killed me the first few times I encountered them lol

To play or not to play....

I cried "Mummy, I want my mummmmmmy..." and I wouldn't go outside my room alone for nearly a week.

Just joking.

I did get a bit of a fright from the Flood at first but I am more scared of them now that I know them than when I didn't and they were new.

"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.


we didn't get Halo until it was well out and we hate getting lost and wasting time so we play on Easy. we were looking at the guides and my sister starting shooting the Marines (the ones that help u), convinced that they were Flood...when the real combat forms showed up my sister asked if we got to use rocket launchers in this level or not

Dude, your sister is really bloodthirsty. Sleep with one eye open. hehehe.

Try the harder difficulties, maybe that will up the scare factor.

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.


I know what you meant. I first played in the spring of 2005. I played AOTCR as my very first level that I played without his brother butting in to take over. Later I played with my other on 343 GS. He told me about the movie. I've played the game up until that point. When I first played against them I wasn't scared. But that was then. Then when I got my own Xbox in Spring 2006 I played 343 with my cousin at midnight. Both of us nearly pissed our pants. He wanted to stop, but I made him finish the level. I think H2 Flood aren't scary. But every time I play 343 GS I nearly give myself a heart attack. I only play that level to play at the end with the Marines. See how long you can keep Johnson/Stacker alive. It's fun.

I was playing with my cousin on legendary (acting like bigshots cause the covenant was getting easy). As we passed the crashed covie dropship, we knew something was wrong. When the marines were on the radar I looked to see a deformed monster running. We listened to the marine cry and tell his story and looked in awe at how (well we thought) the marines kicked a$$. When they charged us we opened fire, after that was over we tried to run only to be confronted by combat forms. The end.

R.I.P. Super Nova and Wardemon.

to me it was the best moment of all time in any game period. i was scared -blam!-less and didnt eat for 2 days cause thats how long it took 4 me to beat 343gs and the library. also i slept with the light on and had my magical impenetrable bed sheets to protect me from the boogie man and the combat forms

It was crazy...was playin co-op witha buddy, and then the little crabs come out..a little freaky, but not a problem...then the big fighter guys come out and beat down my buddy..so I spend half an hour running around the room away from them all and shooting back at them...I FINALLY beat them are a while...it would have been much, much easier if my buddy didn't insist on playing on Heroic >_<

Lucky you weren't playing on legendary. Not knowing what weapons to use when the poppers came made me waste more than half my ammo on my pistol and AR.

To make it short - we got dealt with!

Watching the downed dropships and strange things on the motion tracker along with the dead grunts on the barricaded room was one of the best lead ups in Video game or movie history.
My thoughts:
During the cutscene
1st: Aww the captain and that black dude! They are awesome!
2nd: Gah! this looks like that scene from the Aliens movie, gunfire everywhere! Poor Jenkins, I hope Johnson and the captain found a way out...
3: Wait... where are the bodies!? What were those things?

While the door was breaking:
1: You wanna play rough? Well, Say hello to my little friend! *lobs grenade as the door breakes*
2: GHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DIEEEEE BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH I'm KING OF THE WORLD!
3: They are not stopping!
4: *after seeing the combat forms* You ugly son of a- Gah, melee took off half my shields! FIRREEEEEEEEEE! I wish I was playing Co-op! why did I have to start this level at night!?
