I found an awesome trick. (this may have been heard of before) If you shoot off a Flood's whiparm, (The plasma pistol works best) it's weapon will usually fall off and it won't be able to attack you. They only follow you around going "gargle, gargle" and sway side to side. It's the greatest. I had two pets, Spike and Henry and they followed me around for the the second half of 343 guilty spark. It's great!

Yeah. Couple days ago I posted the same thing in another topic, called Tricks. If you can find it you'll see the same thing. The best weapon is actually the shotgun. (don't feel sad, I thought the best one was plasma pistol too, for about a year.) If you stand way, way back, you can blow off the melee hand and the gun hand at once. No offense. BTW, would you mind calling the armless Flood "buddies"? I'm trying to win an argument with my friend, cause I found out this trick before he did, about two years ago, but he still insists on calling them pets. Our record for "buddies" was 23, but we got fragged. Glad you figured this one out on your own, instead of relying on forums.

That's swank. We called that move (as I said in my other post) the Living Bunker. If you get enough buddies, they encircle you completely.

Flood buddies are fun, i prefer the elite ones though, they seem to take more hits.

What are you talking about? You mean marine Flood buddies vs Elite Flood buddies? The Elite buddies do take more hits BTW.

yeah i thought so, i think it's because you can blow out the stomach to a marine buddy. I enjoyed learning that you can actually beat a flood to death....you just have to spin around him and hit him from behind....i accidentally killed like 3 of my buddies going crazy today :(
