Halo CE weren't easy to kill, but you could kill them any way. Library on Legendary was fun.

Same here. Enough said.

In Halo CE there seemed to be the right balance and blowing off limbs was awesome so it has to have my vote.

Easily Halo 3. In both Halo: CE and Halo 2, they were uninteresting and all you could really do is shoot the crap out of them until they died. In Halo 3, melee attacks are actually useful, and you can pull off headshots by aiming for the spore. In addition, they can infect and reinfect hosts, and I don't believe they could actually be destroyed in Halo 2 or CE. They are just a better enemy in Halo 3.
The thread is "Which is most fun to fight", not "Which one is the best". I agree Halo 3's Flood are better designed, but they aren't much fun to fight. They don't give much change of pacing, and their lack of weaknesses was why they were so fun to fight. You would always be on edge.

Yeah... and all the points I have made make them, in my opinion, the most fun to fight.

Well, it is subjective. I interpreted your proofs as why the Halo 3 Flood are a better built enemy, rather than their gameplay tendencies and fighting characteristics. However, it is your opinion!

Can you believe it?

In Halo 3 you finally get to see the infection forms infect people. So I would have to go with Halo 3.

In halo 3 they are not as aggressive, not as fast, not as numerous, and don't have the resistance that they did in halo 1 nor the other distinctions from covenant units that made them such a refreshing change of pace.

Definitely Halo 3. They were actually kind of fun to fight. Shocking!

I have to say, neither game. In halo CE, you can either go with the shotty for close combat, or with the pistol to hit there weak spot (yes, the flood have a weak spot), or both, then, however, you would have to deal with the popcorn.

Halo 2, they still have that weak spot, but they are tough, more aggressive, on close combat, I had some joy, using the sword to vaporize there bodies, or simply give the sword to an ally, and go with the carbine, the carrier forms, however, lost that cool "pop" they made when they explode.

Anyway, the greatest loss from Halo 2 was the Flood Juggernaut. (likely the first pure form)
yea, it apparantly was tough to kill, but if they got the better of you, simply throw a sticky.

Halo 2 flood showed extreme accuracy with the damn rocket launcher, (thanks to the lock on) Halo CE flood didn't have lock on, but they are accurate. (although it is funny when they shoot at a nearby wall, killing themselves in the process.

In any case, both floods in the game are ok, the Halo CE ones are everywhere, and there swarms (or floods) can easily overwhelm you in higher difficulties, same goes for Halo 2, although you are often given the chance to be well equiped with either a tank or a sniper for the onslaught.

You have reached the voice message system. To place this call as urgent, press eleven.

H3's flood are the most fun for me, though sometimes the other games can hit the spot better. Just depends on the mood, but more often than not, H3's is more fun.

You just can't beat that epic fight between the flood and that Brute Chieftan on the Covenant level.

  • 07.05.2008 8:49 PM PDT

Fight good. Fight hard. Fight to the death.

H3's flood bore me though, that is why I made the choice of CE.

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


There's that, but it's more acceptable than the Brutes being infected. Brutes were immune for lacking neural capacity, which is why they weren't infected in Halo 2. Somebody, probably the guy who misspelled judgement as a chapter for Halo 3, decided the Flood could infect Brutes to keep the story alive. I wasn't very impressed.

All my opinion.

In Halo: CE the Flood were the strongest. They held strong weapons and came in numbers. Only a few weapons were affective. In Halo 2 & 3, they are easy to kill.

They literally flood you. I played today on the Library. Had a dam hard time. That's in Halo : CE. Although, Halo 3's flood are very fun to kill. A bit too easy. The only time they come in the masses is Floodgate.

Bungie is the best.

Simple as that.

i love halo1 dont get me wrong but the flood levels are so boring in halo1 and 2. thats my opninion, i dont h8 halo1 or 2 :P

  • 07.24.2008 4:22 AM PDT

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

yea I was like WTF? Where did these little needle shooting flood come from?(can someone explain or a link please) That and the ones that can change from one type to another. Again.... WTF? I just played 343 GS last night and really loved how they react to what you do. I always let them notice me,then I make them chase me. I'll go around a corner, and when they come..... BLAM!

Simple as that.

Halo 3, alot more of them and new characters make it the "Cortana" mission challenging on Legendary.

  • 07.30.2008 4:21 AM PDT

halo 3 is the worst flood, and CE is the best by far

actually the thread is which games has the best flood not which is the most fun to fight. and i have not played the Halo 3 flood but id say halo 2 was better out of 1 and 2 because of the fact they were harder to kill, unless u had a sword then it was a one hit kill and they couldn't get back up.
