the flood just piss me off. The covanant however have a more personal anger toward humans. It woud be more satisfying to kill covanant. while the flood just attack everything and have no real good stratagy other than freak lunge attack and shere numbers.

I enjoyed fighing the covenant more. They had far better A.I. than the flood and used vehicles and sometimes said funny things.

I find it funny you people complain about the Flood so much. Do you even realize that without the Flood Halo, as an installation, means NOTHING! If we did not have the Flood then having a massive 10,000 km in diameter ring would be worthless. No threat, no reason to make God's own anti-son-of-a--blam!- machine, and believe it or not, it would make for a rather dull storyline to what would been a kick ass game without it.

So keep the Flood, hell bring them back for Halo 2. Add some more flavor to the mix.

Try and remember what I said about the Flood. Your mind might be changed for the better.

covenant because there are more looks to them (elites, hunters, jackals, grunts, brutes, prophets and whatever else there is) than the flood, i also like fighting the covenant because of the grunts, they crack me up

The flood are mindless idiots while the covenant have brains that fight with the use of strategy and other stuff.

That is one looonng sentence! Anyways, the Flood are an integral part of Halo's story. I'm sure that if the flood come back in Halo 2, their AI will be improved.

the flood in halo 2 will be much cleverer, they were supposed to be in halo but they didn't have time to make them have a particular style of fighting, instead of just running after you. The flood if/when they appear will act a lot scarier.

Correction. The Flood are not mindless idiots. Yes their main thought processes involve attack, feed, breed, repeat, but how they go about it is much different. The thing is the Flood are only as intelligent as those they infected and took over. Hence some being absolute idiots and others being bigger idiots and one special one that is really huge and really smart.

Also there is evidence suggesting against the Flood being stupid.

" The Flood are hard at working repairing your vessel... " as said by 343 Guilty Spark. Now that suggests intelligence to me. They must be smart in order to survive and multiply. So think before you just assume they are lacking in intelligence.

Well this is not sticky yet so ill boost it up by saying that flood are the only things that covenant fear. It kinda spooked my the first time i played 343 guilty spark when the flood came.
