Immediately I thought of this. I think fear very much exists in the games, especially for the flood.

The flood are too easy to kill to be all that scary.

If he wants fear, the point I was making that it was in the game. It was in Reach and Halo 3. In reach an elite jumps on you with a sword in the first mission. I'm not saying that your player has to be scared, and infact Master Chief is confident in the face of danger, but that doesn't mean that fear isn't there. It's everywhere else though such as marines breaking down in the face of the flood.
