The Covenant(at it strongest) vs The Flood (at its strongest)
Personally I think the covenant would win considering they win most battles when I see them fight in the games, but that's just game play. Who do you think would win, and there are no other factions to help either side.

I really thimk that the flood would win because there are a $**t load of them LOL. If you think about all of the new flood forms, they kick ass.

Did the Forerunner win?

The Covenant would underestimate their opponent and allow their ships to be captured repeatedly just like Bloodied Spirit and Ascendant Justice (By failing to change their protocols) and then it would be all over. The Covenant only span a portion of the Orion Arm at their height, so they are not likely to hold out for very long against an entire Flood infected Galaxy.

Hey.

The Flood.

At it's strongest, the Flood had thousands of ships, military and civilian that hit the Maginot sphere and broke the back of the forerunner's military, only being stopped by the firing of the halo arrays. I don't think the Covenant could do any better, even with the scavenged Forerunner technology they have.

Flood pwn Covenant.

At their strongest, the Flood overran an entire galaxy of Forerunners, which would have hit the Covenant at their strongest like a luxury SUV hits a cicada. The Flood wouldn't even have slowed down.

Can't we all just get along?

Actually, I think I have only seen one battle where a roughly equal amount of Covenant and Flood have battled and the Covenant have won, and that was at the end of Two Betrayals, where the Covenant had 2 wraiths, 2 hunters and a zealot.

Flood, hands down.

This one is self explanatory.

When the Flood reaches its strongest stage (intergalactic) they're unstoppable.

flood easily. now, if it was covenant at strongest vs flood pre-gravemind, then the covies would win

Well we've seen the Forerunners against the Flood, and they had to ignite a few Halo rings to destroy them. So in the end the Flood would most likely win.

The flood would win, it might take time but as we witnessed in halo 3, they already took over high charity and managed to force the forerunners into destroying all life.

It wouldn't even be a fair fight.

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

Only the ancient humans (pre-firing of the Halo array) ever found out how to defeat the Flood comprehensively. The Covenant wouldn't stand a chance. The Flood's attack on High Charity was pretty much the equivalent of the Covenant's attack on Reach. Heavily fortified, but it didn't matter, although the Schism did weaken their defenses considerably.

The flood during the ancient human era were less advanced then the flood that fought the Forerunners.

Because,the gravemind wasn't there yet.

Dude, the Flood defeated the Forerunner and they were like 500 times strong than the whole Covenant!

Do the math!
