Heh. Whoever said that the Pistol doesn't completely kill them is right. It's happend to me many times... There'd be a time where the Flood vaults over the bridge, perfectly, I nail him with five quick rounds. He drops to the ground, then suddenly, he jumps up again...

Look, i know that needlers are effective againts sentinels; If you notice, Covenant will always win against sentinels, sentinels win against flood, and flood win against covenant. Humans are usually there in the middle, but they only win if it is normal difficulty or easy. Oh, and pistol is weak against sentinels, like 2 clips to kill one.

No. Covenent will usually beat Flood AND Sentinels. Sentinels are good against Flood but tend to lose sometimes because there are too many Flood. Marines are horrible against Flood though.

Covvies will only beat the Flood on legendary, if there is much space between them. This way, the covvie spour fire down on them and kill like half. In close battles, the flood always win. Unless theres a Golden Zealot Elite with an Energy Sword.

No soldier should be honored for doing what is expected
of him. He is after all, just doing his job.

The only weapon most effective on the flood is the shotgun and pistol .
I use the shot gun against the big ones and use the pistol for the little ones.
I am a HALO GOD !
I have beat HALO 1 AND 2 on all setings .
I use a custom controller setup and in multiplayer I am unbeatable .
I tried to find some local tornaments but there are none in my area for a game god my age .
I started a tournament of my own in my area and I wooped butt on the younger players who play more than i do.


....good for you.

Combat Type : Shotgun/Pistol

Carrier Type: anything that kills them from a distance(rockets and grenades are a waste) or just dont care about them.

Infection Type: Assult rifle works best, anything that shoots many shots quick. a good grenade works well too.

Shotgun, Pistol, Plasma Rifle, and Rocket I think a good combo though is the shotgun and AR and the shotgun and pistol shotgun for close range and pistol for long range. The shotgun and AR shotgun covers the close range and the AR gets rid of the little bubble things w/e they are.

Does anybody know why flood don't use sniper rifles, or are they just too stupid?

Well, to be able to use it would require two hands definitely, due to its length. The Flood only have one hand. The other is a big tentacle. Thus, the only way they could use it is when the enemies are close enough that they would not need to keep it steady, and there are better guns for that.
The Shotgun, Pistol, and Assault Rifle plus any explosives (including Carriers and destroyed Sentinels landing on the as a big burning fireball) are the best, definitely.

M90 Shotgun for combat forms and carriers. I still get one shot kills in legendary, but wait till the combat forms get close. Then shoot, or it won't be very effective. Use MA5B AR for spore pods, and pistol for long range (Mission 9 for instance where some combat forms are in the cliff)

Only use rocket launchers for large groups of combat forms/carriers. (Particulary in Mission 8: Two Betrayals), where the flood start to gang up on you.

Plasma weapons are okay but it tends to get annoying when they overheat.

Sniper rifles are completely and utterly useless.
