Me too. When things are shot until they fall down, they shouldn't be able to get back up!

yeah but the flood can be taken out with about two shots from a shotgun or pistol. Elites take much more firepower to bring down. The floods easy as long as you have good reaction time.

yeh but more often than not, when they get back up they cant actually harm you (you were probably too busy -blam!- it and filling the poor bastard with lead) some can, but more often than not they just follow you around for some reason

did anyone that voted 4 the covenent even play the game? the whole poin is the flood where creaming the $hi.t out of the humans and covenent. the only reason MC can kill them is because he doesnt have exposed skin, so they cant infect him.

The flood freak me out. Also i've seen a battle durin the game and the flood took out the Covenant. But, in some situations the covenant are better.

In Legendary the covies will always drop the flood. Except the area's where flood constantly respawn. Otherwise the covies are harder. (hunters alone can lay wave after wave of flood on the ground.)

The flood are worse because of their look. The whole concept of them taking over corpses and using them creeps me out a little (even after playing the game for so long). The overall look of the combat forms creep me out too. The fact that the flood don't need the body parts of the infected bodies is quite dawnting. On Elite combat forms the head hangs back and with both Elite and Human combat forms: bits like arms (and in the Human combat form's case the stomach area) can be blown clean away and they will still be standing. Thats another thing, the flood still come charging at you no matter what. They won't stop at nothing. Now that is what makes the flood scary.

The exploding flood simply make you jump at the quietest areas in the games. Sometimes it can really S**T you up

If we're talking which is hardest though, I would say the Covenant.

Sum one said sumthin about the covie having shields. Actually, only the Elites have shields.

1 shot with a rkt launcher will solve all your problems unless your problem is 343 Guilty spar then you r doomed.

Its not so cool how The Flood can lose body parts and just keep coming at you. And when they fall, they should be dead. DEAD I SAY!! DEAD!! *gets in the fetal position*

I'd say the flood. I think got post-tramatic stress from playing 343 GS for the first time at 3 in the morning...during a thunder storm...with all the lights off...

(and right during the cinematic where we see the flood for the first time, my sister had to sneak in behind me, and grab me, and scream 'boo'...)

The Flood's melee is long and powerful. Their dismembered limbs act as whips, and they can really screw u.

Flood. By far. Have five carrier forms surround you at once, then tell me the covenant are worse. Plus, they jump high and far, carry shotguns, and lets not even start with the library.....

covenant.. the only reason the flood normally wins is because they have a huge number advantage... get a squad of 2 hunters and 10 elites to go through the library and well see who wins.. no grunts or jackals tho theyll screw it up
