in a huge bloody war

  • 06.11.2004 6:11 PM PDT

Most of the time in the orginal Halo when i would let them fight it out the flood won all the time against the covenant,and the sentinals can be destroyed easily be the flood's that jump and swing at them,and as far as the marines go i love them,but they are like fish out of water without the master chief.So go flood go

The covies win as long as it's not an area where the flood keep coming. (provided they've got elites with them... maybe a hunter or two...) Just look at the last big fight in the lvl 8. (TTB)

Well, the infection flood take out grunts and jackals with ease, because they stick onto them until they die, but dont work on elites or hunters unless the elites shields are down.
But thats when the warrior forms come in, especially if they have rockets or big fire power.
The flood would win, the sentinals couldnt beat my grandmother and the marines would die a grizzly death.

1.Master Chief
2.Flood
3.Covenant
4.Marines
5.Sentinals

The sentinals would win because the only time the flood ever beats them is when they outnumber the sentinals 4:1. It would be close between the sentinals and the covenant but the lasers would burn through the elites sheilds.

So it would be:
1. Sentinals
2. Covenant
3. Flood
4. Marines

Dude, play halo (or read The Flood). MC could barely hold his own against the flood (unless I'm playing as him) so the flood is the biggest contender on that list. However, if you turn evil, marines can be really hard to kill if they have cover and grenades...

Iwent with the covenant they win sone times. after all they have spec-ops


yeah, but spec-ops die and become flood, so I don't think so. The flood is basically unstoppable unless you are a very skilled spartan or a Halo or a Frag Master.

The marines....they have master chief for gods sake.

The Covenant. Here's why.

I think the sentinels should win. The flood, marines, and the covenant are going to be to busy battling and the sentinels just have to go real high and shoot lasers at the flood. Then the covenant. Then at last, simply take out the marines.

Since it's a full scale war, the Covies would win. The Marines have pretty good ships, but nothing compared to the Covies Cruisers and Battleships. The Flood don't have anything that can get out of the atmosphere, so their stuck on the planet, and I highly doubt the covenant would let the Flood steal a ship to leave. Also, even if the Covenant were losing, they'd Ice the planet. They're goes all of the flood and almost all of the marines. Covenant would win in my opinion.

In the game, (two Betreyals) when the covies fight the sentinals, I threw a frag and killed all of the grunts, and the Jackals didn't come in yet. The 2 Elites took down the 3 Sentinals with ease, so I think the Sentinals are out of the picture. Sure they'd be a good fight, but that's what Banshees are for. When I played against them with a banshee, they only took one point of damage from me and I killed about 7. So Covies for me. (I posted something about covies winning before, but I forgot to mention how they would fare against sentinals. and I forgot about editing, lol)

A flood, they overflow, thats why they call them the Flood! If Halo never blew up and the war continued on the ring they would destroy everyone and start eating eachother.

if it was a big bloody battle like you said the covies would win. sentinels arn't varied enough for a huge battle and the marines and flood are more suited to skimishes. in halo 2 the earth battle is large scale and i'd say the covenant are kicking our asses. if there we're entire battalions of brutes and elites even the spartans wouldn't win. so if its a big huge war the covenant have the best odds. if its smaller scale its anyones game (providing the marines have master cheif and still excluding sentinels as they suck)

i think if they had equal parts of each from of covenet and flood it would be a close battle the marines need the mc or they are hopeless and the sentenals are only good aginst the flood also i didn't factor in veicles so i think the covies would win with hunters and veicles
