I know a lot of people don't like the Flood, but I have a question for those who enjoy playing with the Flood.

What traits, behaviors, if any, have you observed in the Flood? Any glitches?

Here's what I have observed:

-Carrier Forms occasionally will jump. I've encountered this on The Covenant while I was leading them to the snowy area for the half-infected War Chieftain glitch. Also, if you give Arbiter the Beam Rifle and get him on the back of the Mongoose, he will actually shoot it.

-Sometimes, Infection Forms will not attack you if there are any active combat forms alive. By keeping at least 1 combat form alive and dismembering it's whip arm, you don't have to worry about them.

-The half-infected War Chieftain's AI seems to be mixed Brute and Flood AI. He always charges at you and he gets in a berserk state when you approach him. He is compatible with all weapons, just like the Flood, but he can't use the Energy Sword. He retains combat abilities, such as vehicle boarding, and he can jump very high.

-On Halo, Tank Forms seem to have strong minds, able to resist the game (which kills off all the Flood) for several seconds before shutting down.

I have yet to encounter anything extraordinary in Ranged and Stalker Forms.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

can we please get back on topic?

i can easily research the flood since i spend so much time on flood levels

i`ve noticed that if you melee a dead marine body being infected while above it the body will glitch into the game,it works best on ramps

and i checked the zombie flood "hunters" glitch and it`s exactly the same as the zombie elite glitch i found

im assuming a keen flood observer such as yourself would know this but ill say anyway

if you shoot both arms off a brute/elite/human flood it will run along armless (and harmless lol) then explode, releasing the parasite and letting it go to another body for it to infect

even a first time player will know that


i wonder though what would happen if you were to load a different area while someone is being infected or before the flood bursts

  • 08.19.2010 1:51 PM PDT

you'd be surprised how many don't know

many of my mates didnt know till i showed them

then again, they arent really that observant lol

when i was bored once i went into theatre on floodgate to watch the flood spawn and move about, sometimes its quite funny to watch
