I want to know which Halo has the best flood

It's all the same to me, but I'll vote Halo: CE since everything else in the game was better.

ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.

Halo 3 Flood was all destroyable with a plasma rifle melee. Lame.

Halo 2 Flood was outright insulting. They had such good aim with rockets on QZ.

Halo CE Flood set the standard for me since I started there. End of story.

Halo CE Flood wasn't completely idiotic or super-powered. Melees were just right; firing was accurately inaccurate and correspondingly did less damage; You could continue fighting after shields were gone; huge mob-rushes; rockets could kill you; they could surprise you, then chase you down. I don't need to mention more.

i agree, the halo flood were the best. good balance of strength and weakness. agressive but not relentless, not marksman but dangerous enough.

halo2 offered some rediculously resilient and highly accurate flood that were just a repeatative pain.

the flood in halo3, while impressive, were remarkably easy to kill being as melees did more damage to them than most weapons did. the only flood annoyance in halo 3 were the little bastards that shot the spikes.

Halo 3:s Flood was funnier to fight but the Flood in CE was definitely scarier and better.

  • 04.30.2008 3:50 PM PDT

Don't forget to look both ways.

I think the flood in Halo: CE were much more exciting to fight because they were a nameless terror. There was no Gravemind to guide them, they were mindless killers who hunted without mercy or intelligence.

  • 04.30.2008 8:58 PM PDT

Halo CE because I could shoot off there limbs so they couldnt hurt me and they would follow me like pets.... And i named them.

Halo 3's flood is ok but halo 2's is a bit rubbish so that leaves Halo CE which has more levels with flood Yay!!!

Does anyone even read these?

In Halo: CE I could get pets from the Flood, so definitely the Halo: CE Flood.

Just message me on live.

Halo 3's are cooler.

I have not played 3 (no 360 in my place!) but I very much prefer the CE Flood to 2's. The Flood in 2 were not nearly as much fun to mow down with the watered down WEAK shotty. The fluidity of their movement also stunk. In CE the shamble and jump had some smoothness to it. In 2, everything was so much more herky-jerky, it was just unpleasant to have them on my screen. As for combat...........well........the 2 versions were tougher, and on legendary, with certain skulls on they became almost impossible to beat down without dying over and over. With GBP on and a BR or Carbine, it could be fun, as long as you had some distance to go for the explosive headshot, but up close their melee was just obnoxiously strong. So much so that on the platform circus ride down, I usually just jumped off to one of the side cubbies and waited for it to make it to the bottom, and take my chances jumping down the tubes.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Halo 3's Flood was ruined by the Ranged Form.

In my opinion, Halo 3's flood were the best. Here's why:

Halo: CE's flood were good, but weren't the best. Halo 3 took the goodness of the Halo: CE flood and expanded on it. For example, it's shown that the flood have a spongy flesh material. It makes sense now that a melee attack kills them in one hit.

Halo 2's flood were terrible. I never liked the way they looked, although the sound effects were pretty cool. They were far too accurate with their weapons, and there were just so MANY of them! I never liked Quarentine Zone or that one where you first see the giant Forerunner sentinals.

Halo 1 flood.
I hate the H2 flood, and the shooting, long range ones in H3 are really annoying.
And, I cant manage to smash the small flood in H3, like I could in H1. :,(
In H1, Punch the first in line, and see the rest pop away!
In H3, if I try to smash them, they only break when they hit my body . . . . .

That's the worst thing about Halo 2 & Halo 3's Flood. The popcorn is too hard to kill. They dart and weave, and it takes nothing short of a miracle to melee the small ones. even when you do, it doesn't create the massive chain reactions that the Halo CE popcorn used to make(and still does!).

  • 05.05.2008 7:28 PM PDT

I like my Covenant like i like my woman, screamin and with a sticky on there face.

i think what makes the halo ce best was the way the weapons affected them. The shotgun could actully be used to kill mulitpe amounts the new shotgun in 2&3 required you to walk within a foot of them and then get killed by the other around you, in 2 and 3 they were just fustrating to pay. in ce they also seemed scarier

Halo CE

In Halo 2 the flood had several weakspots making them easy targets.

In Halo 3 you just waft a gun in their general direction (okay melee, but still) and they disintegrate....I mean where is the fun in that?

Ide have to say Halo CE because It was easier to just gun butt them and not waste any ammo because I think those flood were the weakest in gun butts in the games.

the only thing i like about the halo3 flood is that you could kill the infection form and drop the whole combat form. but the weakness was far too exposed.

Halo 3 flood are more balanced because of how many. Also they could infect live bodies and were more gory.

  • 05.10.2008 8:16 AM PDT

There really aren't that many in Halo 3, just harder to kill. Compare the mobs from Halo 3(2-6 at once) to the mobs in Halo CE(2-15 at once). In Halo CE, you had to think of how to survive the onslaught, not just run in, pressing "B" wildly and come out alive. I do think that re-animating dead combat forms is a stroke of genius, though.

I'm gonna have to go with Halo 1. Halo 3's are more violent and gory, but Halo 1's are more prevalant, and creepy. Plus, in Halo 1 you have the amazing pistol and shotty.
