allright...lets see. have read the books final spartan? the flood could take over an elites,grab a wraith tank and whoop everthting up. all they could also grab rocket launchers and whoop stuff up,and because theirnumbers THEY WOULD WIN. thats whole point of destroying Halo. because hte flood would wipe EVERYTHING out. DUH. I WIN! as in the words of cortona- "humans,covenant,whatever. were all equally edible"

I've read the books. I meant in the game. In the game a flood couldn't get inside a wraith. I don't really trust the books too much anyways.

Another point. The only reason for destroying Halo was to make sure they never got off of Halo. If a flood (one flood. as stated in the books that one carrier form would spell the end of earth) got off of Halo it wouldn't be the end for earth or anything. It'd take over a few humans the flood humans would die and we'd just have five less human beings. The point is. In the game the flood get blasted. (unless A,B,C is the case.)

well...final spartan. IN THE GAME.the flood are the best. havent you seen them whoop up elites. iv seen,on legandary,i flood infection form take out a red elite. iv seen infection forms take out hunters. then plus combat forms they would win. iv seen 2 combat forms take out FOUR elites,the combat forms had AR and plasma rifle! the flood would WIN!!!!!!! why do think the covies fear the flood? cause the flood would kick their butts is why.

the coveis weapons suck against the flood. human weapons own the flood though. i think its sort of a triangle. humans( including master chief) can take flood, flood can take covies, and covies can take humans.

Good point rawski, except for the fact that Master Chief kills both, and very easily.

This thread missed out the sentinals and Ol' Sparky btw

Covenant are most powerful, if they werent so surperior then halo would suck and have close to no storyline. You must play normal......... and have you read the books? they have these huge ships larger than flag ships, that fire super heated plasma beams which cut 5 UNSC ships into oblivion from like bilions of kilometers away.

Ack. I knew I forgot to add somthing. The covies always win when there are alot of them together. Otherwise the flood can win.

So flood are stronger but Covies who are in groups (team battles between the two) will win in combat. Once again I shall point out the final fight in TTB. As long as I've played the covies always win that fight. Which is good. that ways I have a rocket launcher to blast the wraiths with... Or in most fights on "The Maw".

Let's stop arguing now. Both kill eachother every now and again. But I'm sure we all know who the most powerful is. 343 GS. Muhahahah.

In my opinion, None of the races are the "Toughest"! The flood can multiply like rabbits in spring, so for sheer numbers, and being able to easily replace those numbers, they are the "toughest". Now the Covenant, they have the best technology, and navy, so in a space battle, they are the "Toughest". However, the Covenant, for all their knowledge, firepower, and technology, they lack the ability to adapt, and to use tactics. So for ground defense, Adaptibility, and ingenuity, the Humans are the "toughest".
The problem with the question is that "toughest" isnt defined, so therefore, you cannot truly answer the question. Think of it this way. Comparing WW2 to Halo, then the Axis are the covenant, the Russians the flood, and GB/USA the Humans. At the start of WW2 the Russians had Millions of soldiers, just no weapons or equipment. The Axis had tthe most and new technology, but Hitler/Tojo refused to adapt to the changing landscape, and GB/USA had mostly left over WW1 tech, but also had the ability to adapt.

from what I get in the question, he means species wise. First, the covie arent a species, so right there they lose. Second, if taken from the as a whole angle and stuff like technology, the covenant still lose because it isnt thier technology, its the forunner(s). The Flood come in last because technically, there wouldnt be any prob if Halo hadnt been opened AND they hadnt gotten on the ship. However, if the Flood return in Halo 2, it must be because of a closer Halo. Humans win because
A) Their armoured soldiers kick ass (spartans)
B) The odst's can beat jackal's and grunts
C) Overall, humans ship structure is better, compared to a covie with no shields.
D) The Covie are paranoid bastards intent on our destruction, for no particular reason (one can only hypothesize).

i would say that the flood are the strongest as without the help of a massive reactor blowing up they would have taken over the whole galaxy hence the whole end of halo. Sure the covenant have big guns but the flood just infect them and use them to kill humans or there own kind!

ok,how about this. if you gathered all the covies in Halo,all the Marines in Halo and all the flood in halo,with their AI (not saying that the covies would be smart enough to call in a ship and glass the plantet) no vehicles. who would win?
here what would happen-
the marines would get melted in a wave of plasma and popcorn crabs,the grunts and jackals would die from a single popcorn crab,the hunters would shoot and kill anything in their path (with like 5 popcorn crabs on them they woul die too) and the elites would eventually all go down as well. you have to think,ALL the flood in the game,shotguns,rockets,plasma rifles then plus the popcorn crabs turing dead marines and elites into combat forms. then CARRIERS with their power of frag gendes poping everywhere. the flood would eventually overtake them aall.

ok elites brutes and hunters maybe physically stronger than humans but the rest of the covenant arent... besides humans are much more intelligent than the covenant and knowlege is much more powerfull thing then pure strength... so its pretty obvious that unless your just talking about physical strength then humans are much much stronger than the covenant or the flood.

You idiots... the human race still uses bullets. The Covies have developed weapons that can fire SUPER HEATED IRON (PLASMA). Plus there ships in space are better and if you havent noticed...they will be bombarding earth without any naval resistance.


the covies were actually behind us in technology they found the forerunner technology(plasma weapons ships and that sort) i think the flood is the strongest cause just one of small infection forms can start the whole race again the flood never are cowards and they always are doing what is best for their species but i think they are all equal though but if anything i will go with the flood

Covenant are actually pretty stupid when it comes to technology. They just got better weapons cause they found the forerunners old stuff. Humans are smarter, remember when Cortana made that covenant gun a lot more effective because the covenant didn't really understand how it worked? Humans are adaptable. Flood would win though, because they have numbers, strength, and popcorn. Like it has been said, one popcorn can take out anything without a shield and turn it into a combat form. Many people think the flood are stupid, but they are actually fairly intelligent, or at least the mind that controls them is. They just act stupid because the mind knows that its no big deal if a few combat forms die. They only have a single thought in their head at a time: what the mind tells them to do. So if it says "kill MC" they will just run at him and try to kill him, without thinking about other things, like that he has a rocket launcher. It doesn't matter, because more will come after mc blows the first up.
