I like fighting everything in Halo. The flood are such an intregal part of the Halo story, and key to everything... Once you know how to kill each flood type, they are not so bad.

The trick is aiming -- some people just shoot at random and hit one or two. With the AR that's all you can do, but with the shotgun, aim for the exploders or right in the middle of a group, aiming it perfectly at the door they first come out of when you first meet them can possibly kill them all if not 75% of them. Don't try to use the sniper rifle, use that on the covies. Shotgun owns flood, pistol isn't too bad, AR is fine if used right, covie weapons suck. Best loadout, shotgun and AR, both have surpression fire capabilities and in a group like the flood, you're bound to hit at least one.

Note for people who like grenades. Onetime used it against a spawnner and he flew towards me, and blew up right infront of me, bringing me to like, red, and his hatchlings finished me. The little ones are okay as long as you have shields.

ya killing the flood isnt bad as long as u have a shotgun and a pistol.. i normally use the pistol to take out the big exploding pieces of popcorn and use the shotgun to finish of ne stragglers that didnt die by the explosion...its very simple once u got it down pat...it only takes 3 shots with the pistol to kill the giant ones that let the little guys out

The Flood are more annoying, though- they don't need guns- the infection forms drain your shields and climb walls, the carrier forms can do anything (depending on your diff level) from seriously draining your shields to critically injuring you, and the combat forms can melee, pop up out of odd corners, shoot guns, and mob you. It's like running into a room in Marathon 2/Infinity and having a group of Hunters teleport in around you...
They're a pain to fight when you aren't in narrow corridors- like open rooms and the Library.

i think that the covenant plasma rifle is good against the flood. its good at range for picking off the small one and good close for rapid fire for the big one. but against flood i never leave home without a shotgun. and one thing about the covenant grunts, when they start running ad screaming in there high pitched voice, that you ever feel sorry for them and not kill them as they sound so cute? well me and some of my mates have a few times.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Yea. Their annoying when you just finished off some covie but fine in the middle of the maw or library. I love it when they jump at u n u have the shotgun. Well when their about to melee you you blast em to hell. Its awesome.

As long as you hit them in the head and not in the center or the foot because they will come back to life and can come from behind and smack you I did that with the poiso

In the original PC Halo game that was supposed to come out in 1999, there was no mention of the Flood at all since it was never supposed to be part of the story let alone the game wasn't supposed to be played in first person shooter. It seemed like the Flood was rushed in to finish the game in time of the Xbox launch.

The Flood weren't in the MacWorld video because that would've ruined the story. The Flood were meant to be a surprising twist.

1) halo was origonally for PS2, PC and mac, but take 2 (i think) dropped them becuse they were taking too long, microsoft offered them publishment on the Xbox, then someone decided to take the 3rd person tactical shooter and make it a first person shooter, i hope there will be some of the origonal tactics in there...

Halo was never going to be for the PS2. It was a PC and Mac game. Microsoft BOUGHT Bungie after seeing the FPS version.

the best weapons combo is not the ar and shotgun. Its the human pistol and shotgun. i used that combo on the library on legendary and had very litle problem. The pistol lets u bring down combat forms at range nd pop carrier forms before they get too close. it eve works well on infection forms. also, in a pinch, the covey plasma rifle works well too. and the needler is nice for getting ones that are perchec on cliffs, like on KEYES.
