Subject: Whose brilliant idea was this?

If you think about the Campaign level Quarantine Zone in a nutshell, it basically boils down to "Flood with vehicals." This was, undoubtably, the worst idea ever.

1. Who agrees?
2. Who designed that level?

Fighting Brutes instead of Elites is the dumbest thing, They don't growl or go AAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGG WORT WORT, though I heard an ally Elite do it in Halo 3 somewhere... QZ is a great map. Just took me 2 or 3 years to realize it.

I have very mixed feelings about this level. The flood on Legendary and no skulls are difficult enough, and as soon as you add enemy toughening skulls, its an absolute nightmare to play. The overall environment and map are fairly cool, it is just that the level is so "against" you. The flood with rocket launchers are positioned in exceptional cover, you miss with your first shot, you are back a checkpoint in a heartbeat. The vehicular flood are so resistant to damage and swarm you so quickly that even the scorpion dies many deaths.

On the easier levels, it can be a fun level to play. For a seasoned H2'er, with sputnik or other skulls (esp BE) it typically is not fun for me to play.......I go for the skull, and bye!

What wrong with that? It's basically like fighting Covies with vehicles.

Except when you have Mythic on (I'm not sure if you need thunderstorm for this too, I can't recall) and there's flood in a vehicle... they're invincible. That... is not at all like fighting covies.

Flood in Halo 2 are practically invincible all the time.

I prefer the SMG for the Flood. The shotgun takes back seat to SMG's or a sword. Frags are effective too. Since the density of the bodies was decreased, you need something that shoots softer. Battle rifles are great for the Flood if you have Grunt Birthday Party on, as it destroys the corpse when the grenade explosion happens. And you learn where the headshots are on the Flood... in very weird places sometimes.

The only bad thing is that flood don't care if they kill themselves or lose an ally! so they go beserk with vehicles, espeacially the tanks... :( and flood are prettymuch invincible agants any thing that isn't a heavy or a shotgun, unless u do a headshot, and somobdy said before the head can be inwerid places...) near the upper chest and head r where the parasites are, near the nerveous system and brain. if u shot anywhere else, ur shoting a discusting rotting corpse doing no damage at all. expet heavies blow them apart and shotgun can slightly blow them apart too.
