I hate the flood more than pulling duct tape off my leg. There are many reasons why I hate the flood, the most important of which is that with the covenent on all difficulties but easy, you have to develop a strategy to kill them. For the grunts, I normaly shoot them a few times with my plasma pistol and then melee them to death. I shower the jackles with plasma and then shoot their exposed sides when they roll. I overcharge my trusty plasma pistol for the elites and then finish them off with my assult rifle. Finaly, for the hunters, I get as close as I can, sidestep their melee attack and shoot them in their exposed backside. Now, we come to the flood. The only stratgey with the flood is shoot them in the chest and reload, nothing else. There is no stratgy. That is why I am posting here on New Mombasa, to get Bungie to listen. Please, cry out, let your voices be heard, shout to Bungie, "NO MORE FLOOD!"

I agree. All you can do against the flood is shoot, run, and shoot quicker. It requires no thought strategy, or on co-op team-work.

I thought bungie stated that there'd be a "99.9% chance of the flood returning"

I would like to see a redone version of the flood. Brute flood form or a hunter flood form would be cool. Plus new races makes even more flood types. But I agree there is no strategy in killing the Flood in halo.

I love the Flood..............even though it's Bungie's version of the movie Alien *cough*..........But yeah they are fun to kill and are a challenge to tackle. I HATE FIGHTING AGAINST SHIELDS so I like them more than fighting Elites.

(From EGM Nov 2002)"'Do you think we'd realy wipe out the flood?' Jones asks. 'The covenant have a long history with them. Some really cool stuff with happen there.'" This from the man, Jason Jones, who said he liked the level "The Library." I believe that Halo 2 is gonna be draged down by this craptacular species. I won't play any level after Assault on the Control Room. I just hate the flood that much.

I hate the flood terribly but not enough to stop me from playing(but not complaining). And in my idea "the library" was absolutly the worst level in HALO. terrible plot and endless flood killing...whoever thought it up in my opinion needs smashing on their noggin....but then again "my opinion"....

I like the flood, after killing covie after covie i found it refreshing to delve into a new enemy. I just think they should design levels that are made specifically to fight the flood. I personally hated the library too repetitive. Shoot,reload repeat. I personally liked to be swarmed with flood, on legendry it's fun as hell to be so outnumbered,. I mean, there are times when you are fighting wave after wave, reloading and reloading, looking at your ammo as it depletes. Your shotgun suddenly clicks, you need to reload. You put a round in and you fire, another round and you fire, you can't fully reload because ther flod will overwhelm you. These tense moments are when fighting the flood is fun. Also you gotta admit running in the dark then all of a sudden a combat form appearing and -blam!- slapping out of nowhere can be a bit surprising. The flood should come back. And also the hunters can't be flood because of the plasma guns they carry, they probably have borens syndrome (same thing the sarge has) and can't be infected.

in halo there were only 4 differnet types of enemies the were covenant but since they put in the floop it added alot more enemies.(which i liked alot) i loved having the flood in the game and the liibrary wasn't so bad. i like all the halo levels pretty much.
