I dont personally like the flood..to much coming back from bein dead makes me waste bullets in bodies.... plus their skin tone makes them blend in to well in the forest and stuffs...makes me uber paranoid. But if they are in halo2 I dont really mind, ill kill just like I kill the covies.(plus I hate how you cant really melee flood)

yesyesyes before, i hated the flood soo much, it was unbelivable. between the end part of 343GS and the maw, i didnt like halo as much. but when i actually played the game over on harder difficulties, i relized it was so much fun blasting away at waves after waves of these annoying little creatures.
the library has become my favorite level, because of flood.

i hated the flood. I hope Halo2 is a battle between Humans and Covenant, and maybe another race or enemy, but NOT the flood.

Covenant are much more fun to kill than the flood. I hope that when they are back you rarely/never fight them but they should definately be in the story nontheless

Maybe a cruiser ship approaches earth(filled with flood) but the covies think its backup cause its a covie cruiser and they all jump from the ship doing an orbital insertion into earths atmosphere(flood live through almost anything), and voila we have the covie AND teh flood on earth.

How do the flood keep the game interesting? The first half of the game, you fight covenant. They dodge your grenades, they use cover, they investigate suscicious noises, they use varied attack patterns, they attack in all their vehicles and different weapons, etc etc. The flood run at you till they die. thats it. They are throwbacks to the days of mindless dungeon crawling shotgun defense like every first person shooter before half life. The flood are the most boring enemy I have fought in a game in years. Even on legendary, they are pathetic. I really hope they are not featured nearly as heavily in halo 2. Anyone notice there hasnt been a screenshot of them yet? I'm hoping thats a sign they will be in one or two levels, not half the game.

I wan't the flood to be more agressive, and a bit smarter. They don't need to be stupid, they need to rely on their primal instincts, which means that they try to use things that they see, and don't think too much about them. How great would it be if flood are kicking off walls (they can already jump really high), and using their legs to be more agile around a battlefield. In Halo 1 the covenant relied on tactics and skill, while the flood relied on pure numbers, which made them a bad enemy because of dificulty settings.

FLOOD = Crap

There should be a poll selection like this:

"No, they annoyed the hell out of me, they're down, they're up, they just keep showing up and making me want to scream, and every time I see a person with liver problems I want to bash their head in because they remind me of the stupid flood bastards! Aaarrggg!!! I hate them I hope they die! DAMMIT!!!!!"

or something like that, because I wonder how many "no" votes you lost because of the "They scared me" part...certainly mine.

Scared? No.
Annoyed to the point of a total psychotic episode? I think the answer is clear on that one.

And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

Totally agree! I hate just shotgun blastin' away. Like on Keyes,, the shotgun doesn't hurt elites a lot and I would have used something different for fighting them. Then suddenly a bunch of flood appear and my shotgun is missing!

I agree with u I hate The Flood they just piss me off alot with their slapping arms. That just piss me off alot so when they r dead I shoot off both arms and the head!! That is the best way to kill a Flood. And they all can go to hell.

They should make the flood super athletic, and a little brighter. So you go from facing the smart covenant, to the in-your-face-a-lot-more-than-Halo-1 Flood who jump from tree-to-tree at extreme speed and melee you knocking you back 10 feet. They shouldn't let them use guns, just have them run at you really fast in huge groups.

And I just thought of something. Since there are Plasma Swords in Halo 2, Will the flood use them? That would make them unstoppable in huge groups. And then combine that with trigger happy sucidal rocket launcher flood, Its gonna be messy.

I have to agree with both of u guys I just hope there is other like one or 2 levels in Halo 2 I just want to fight the Covenant we have some unfinish business. I just want to kill them because I love hearing the Elites say funny stuff like " Wort Wort Wort" or " Ahh Over There" or " NOOOOO!!" I just love that when they die. Like when u throw a gernade u see them dive and roll and the Grunts and Jackals dive to but die its funny!!! But the Flood is boring nothing funny going on so they just boring and piss me off!!
