For Those of you who dont know what the Lambent are they are basically the flood version of Gears of war.

I know this sounds pretty unfair since the flood can take over planets and the lambents cant. So to even things up a bit this battle only contains their combat forms. e.g. flood tank flood drone, Lambent drudge lambent berserker etc. In a hand to hand fight. No Gravemind for the flood either
Here is some info on the lambent
Some Info on flood combat forms

what infection would win?

EDIT: Some people seem to think its about who infects what quicker. Its not. Its about who would win in a massive battle.

And also since a lot of people seem to think the flood would win, just think about it. The flood arent that powerful without a Gravemind. They cant coordinate themselves without it. Therefore IMO The Lambent may scrape through purely because they have better combat forms.

Actually the answer is not blatantly obvious considering the fact that NO ONE knows the full extent of the Lambent threat as Gears of War 3 hasn't even come out yet. Either way all these vs threads are getting ridiculous.

Awesome, I go7 vo7e # 7

:D

But, uh, *laughs* this isn't even a fight. Its a continent's-worth of mindless zombies versus one of the most dangerous--if not the most dangerous--biological entity in science fiction

No Gravemind for the flood either

edit: That is physically impossible. You basically just defaulted the lambent win. Taking out the Gravemind is literally like taking out the Flood: the Gravemind IS the Flood, he is not a part of it, he IS it.

1) Well first off, consider this: it's taken the lambent a good 18 months to consume the majore areas of Sera in Gears of War (I think I read somewhere that the largest landmasses are pretty much finished).

By contrast, it takes the Flood a couple of hours to consume an entire planet.

2) Yes these threads are getting old. They're fun at first, but then it get's too be way to much.

While I would say that they're both easily matched considering Gears of War 3 is not out yet, I do have a bias towards Halo, so The Flood gains a vote.

He means the Flood in their Feral stage, not the coordinated stage where they get a Gravemind.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

Hmmmm, I wonder what would happen if a flood spore tried to infect a lambent infected being.

I like the Mk V armor.

No gravemind, then it's the Lambent, that is unless they can produce spores nd in about ten days flood wins.

Actually flood wins either way, they just keep coming.

It's just too tough actually, can't make up mind.

Sorry.

  • 03.09.2011 3:30 PM PDT

could flood spores posses lambent husks?

Not Lambent do not infect people, they just blow up on them.

So is it possible for something infected, to become infected again?

Like a Flood Lambent Combat form

Lambents are just a natural mutation. Flood are the worst parasite ever.

*sigh* 1)If you actually read my post its not about who infects quicker, its about who would win in a battle.
2) A reply to your previous post about taking the Gravemind out of the battle. This does not have to make sense. Its just a little bit of fun and discussion for crying out loud. Dont like the vs threads dont read them then. Its basic bloody logic.
