Wam Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) A question for everyone: What was your initial reaction the VERY first time you time you saw the flood? I believe this is a great topic to discuss and share nightmares (or acts of bravery.) Please, share as much detail as you wish. You can discuss the building up to the flood, or how they affected you in later games, but please share your opinions. My first time: I may have been young, but I was still attentive. I was so confused as to what the Covenant dug up. I was scared that, well, the COVENANT were scared. Walking into that facility, seeing figures running in the distances, shots from nowhere, gross noises, it kinda stuck with me. Fighting out of the facility was the scary part. I had no idea what these ugly-looking beasts were and so I tried spraying and praying my way out. I repeatedly got lost and stressed. Oh lord, it stuck with me. >.< Edited April 14, 2015 by AhhOldWoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrhuntington Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 "Popcorn?" Nah, the level set them up nicely and the rotting of the corpses was surprising to say the least. Didn't see it coming with the way the game had been going up until that point. I never compared the Flood to Zombies really, even thought their similarities are high.

Axilus Prime Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Here was my stream of thoughts. "What's going on?" "This music. It's a bad sign." "Something really bad is behind this door." "Whoa whoa whoa HOW ARE THERE SO MANY OF THESE?!" "WHAT IS THAT?!" "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!" First time I ever faced the Flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Kenway Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I thought I was fighting humanoid potatoes (thats what happens when you're 6 years old) but when I came across the Proto-Gravemind for the first time oh man scared the bijebuzz outta me and I didn't play a Halo campaign for the next 5 years until I got a 360 and played ODST oh man that was nice.

Kinda puts a sick twisted spin on Potato Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbrabbit Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 First thought. "Damn these things are ugly." That is all. Because if there were more, it wouldn't be a first thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unease Peanut Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I was around the age of 7 when I first faced them and though they were plants at first because I couldn't understand English back then and had no idea what they really were. Then as I grew older realisations started to kick in... Suddenly eveything started to make sense and it horrified me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Dude I was actually so creeped out because we were in a dark room and the music set up the anticipation of something popping out and then all these ugly little crawling things start coming at you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowFiend216 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I can't quite remember what my initial reaction was, seeing that I was only about 6 or 7, but I will say, that I was completely terrified of the Flood. I wouldn't play a mission that involved Flood unless I played co-op with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BATMAN Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think I might've cried a little. There were so many, and they were everywhere. So after the initial panic, I'm sure I was whimpering/growling at the screen, begging the question, "Why won't you die?" But that was a long time ago.. I remember my dad would always yell at me for leaving the disc in the tray when I was done with the computer. He wouldn't even let me play multiplayer XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWI Golgari - Your Fear Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I remember being like "What?, but... the covenant, I am fighting them.. So now I have to fight this?, and the covenant are fighting them too?. But we are not teaming up and everyone wants two kill the opposite two? FML I need a partner, its Morphin time."

Vaulting♥Frog Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 In Halo CE they were a fantastic twist which was completely unexpected at the time. They were great. Then Halo 2 came along and I couldn't stand them. Not because they were difficult (they weren't) but they bored me. They didn't add anything to the game for me and in my eyes didn't belong in the rest of the series. Could have done just as well if not better with out them. Halo 3 was the same. But then again I am at odds with most everybody when it comes to the Flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
