I always get a kick out of people who cry about the flood levels. Personally, I think the flood rock. Granted they have no cool dialogue, but they are a blast to fight. I love using the CE shotgun and pistol, and those are my weapons of choice for flood eradication, so it is just all good! The flood levels are the most challenging because they do not stay in certain areas of the map, they will follow you or attack you for the most part until you are dead or they are dead. That is what I want in an enemy!

I hate them! They frustrate me so much when I have to spend an hour shooting non stop. And then I run out of ammo! Time to melee! O wait, the floods melee is ridiculously good so that won't work!

I love fighting the flood. I think it's the best gameplay ever. I just go in with my shotty, get surrounded, then back up shooting all the way until my back's to the wall. That's why I'm scyced for left 4 dead. it sounds like the gameplay will be very similar to flood combat.

Fighting the Flood is nothing more than spamming weapons against waves of enemies which is boring and loses its appeal over time. They're also nothing more than space zombies, which we've seen before. They're like a cross between the Zerg and head crabs.

Except you don't join 3-way fights with the head crabs or Zerg.

Um, yeah, you do. I'll say it again, it's been done before. You know, with the whole Black Mesa vs. army vs. aliens deal, and then there's Protoss vs. StarCraft vs. Zerg. :P

Sorry, my bad. I've never played HL or SC. But the rhyming was a cool touch, if not entirely...there.

Yeah, while StarCraft has some of the most bad ass characters ever that make the Gravemind look like a tiny piece of rotten cabbage practicing for his school play.

Does it matter? Point is Gravemind made the Flood all the more cool. ;)

Honestly, I had no idea that the Gravemind had any association with the Flood after I beat Halo 2, and it still took me quite a while before I realized the Gravemind was the central mass of the Flood itself. It could have been a fourth party or something, I thought it was a guardian or inhabitant of the Halo rings or something.

FINALLY, a smart person! :)
The Flood levels are a blast and are some of the best. Sure, AOTCR was maybe the best level, but Two Betrayals was even better. Most Flood levels have epic fights, anyway. Oh, and the Library was pretty fun ;) Just finished it today.

If you want a meaningless fragfest where enemies constantly swarm you, go play Serious Sam or Doom. For me, it's more fun to fight an enemy that fights intelligently instead of throwing itself at you like the retarded space zombie game play I expect from the Flood.

Flood are my favorite enemies. Not only are they zombies, but they are weapon using, sniper-proof machines of death.

When I started playing the first flood level in Halo 1 I was only 3 years old, so when the flood came out i was like are these some kind of covenant?(i had no fricken clue what anyone had said at the time so when they came out after i watched the vid im like oh these dead Parasites are way to easy and now in Halo 3 they are about the hardest thing there is. They take me hours to kill them (unless there's a flamethrower).

You just have to shoot the infection form, then the whole thing dies. For the first game, kock the arms off of combat forms, or pump 'em full of lead, since they really don't have a weakness.
