I say the Flood are better in Halo 2. They look better, they have shields and can use camo and it doesn't runi the game by doing this. Can't wait to see them in future Halo games.

Actually...the flood are sorta camoflaged in the Maw...yaknow that one place where peolple get rockets and probably scared the player half to death for the first time.

Anyway, I'd say I like the flood in halo one. They were the super human zombies that were really quick and jumped 20 feet in the air. Nothing really hurt them but the pistol and shotgun. Plus they were put in certain points just to scare you, where Halo 2 flood most people expected it. But thats just a flaw that comes with being second.

Halo 2 flood cam be killed with a quick pull of the battle rifle, carbine, or pistol. Plus they don't jump, and I found them to be a bit stupider. Plus they had the giant Venus fly trap commanding them. But they did come back to life withe the little guys, and that was very cool and a great idea.

Note : This is my opinion, not some elitist shouting what the "facts" are.

Call me evil if you wish. I despise the flood, but also LOVE them! THey're awesome enemies but just seeing them freaked me out (in the first game of course). IN the second game, I was like "Noooooooo! Get away!". One time, just for kicks, I ran around that first Halo 2-Flood Confrontation on the elevator, I ran around and around and around, and vowed to protect the grunt with my life.

Maybe it is just me, but I find the flood to be boring and repititive. I don't like the flood in either game. The covenant have personalities. Grunts are funny. Hunters are massive. Elites and brutes are cocky and ruthless. The flood are wanna be zombies.

Sighness

Indubidubly. Banana.

Definetly in Halo CE, first time I saw them, first time I screamed, first time I busted a shotgun out and blasted their asses for making me scream>_>;

They are better in Halo2 I think.

The human ones look like proper zombies and I like the eerie noises they make. Also the way you can cut them up with the plasma sword and the way the infection forms re-animate them.

BUT they are just TOO strong in Halo2. One punch from a single combat form kills you. Ridiculous. As their name suggests, the Flood's strength should be in numbers ie. they should only be a massive threat when they overwhelm you with numbers. Also, why is the shotgun suddenly crap against them, compared with in HaloCE ??

Yes, call me evil. But i despise the flood also, with a passion. I hate any level that has flood remnents on the floor. It just, i absolutely hate them. Annoying hard to kill. And i mean the first time i saw them.. and everytime after that i seriously felt like master chief, i seriously wanted to blow those mother fu*kers up for looking so ugly and jumping at me. I thought we killed them all off in halo CE so in halo 2 when i saw them i literally threw my wireless controler out my window. No joke. Then found out it was broken from the fall and decided to stomp on it and light it on fire. Cost me frikkin 25 bucks for a new one.

I generally hate the flood, but hell since they do frequently give you the ammo you so desperately need in the game... but anyway, the Flood in Halo 1 were MUCH eaisier to rip apart. However they also appeared in NUMBERS. Something that Halo 2 lacks. The flood in Halo 2 is more advanced and are harder to destroy but there are few of them... oh don't forget we get to see the infection class take over a dead corpse. Sick stuff. Reminds me of headcrabs...

The flood are more difficult in halo 2 but are way more fun in halo. All the levels you play the flood in are dark and dreary. Personally i don't really like a dark levels i like bright city, desert, or snow, scape levels.

i prefer them in halo2, as they have more flavors and seeing the reanimation take place is really cool. plus, i think the elites are tame and the brutes a little repetitive. they have a little more of a haloCE feel to them, flanking constantly and all. had they had the juggernaut, this wouldnt be a question

I voted for cheese, but honestly, the combat forms are better in two, infection forms are better in one, they actually come as a "flood."

  • 01.11.2006 12:02 AM PDT

Halo. Flood in Halo made you run away, hide, and actually TRY to kill them, what with the strong rocket launchers and accurate firing. Like when they wait in a hallway and swarm you so you have to retreat, instead of just run through them all. They were well and truely CREEPY. That said, WHERE'S THE PIE????!!!

  • 01.11.2006 5:45 AM PDT

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

definately halo. in halo the flood were something you didn't want to fight. they came in larger and more dangerous groups and sometimes came out of no where. and if you don't agree play the library on halo and then the library on halo 2 as the arbitor both on the legandary setting. even though the difficlty is very different, the flood are more vicious on halo.

I'll be on my own side.

The Flood had a habit of coming out of nowhere in Halo. That's what I liked about it so much. It kept you on your toes(until you learned that they came from those pipe things in the walls in The Library).

Also, have you ever seen an Elite Combat Form charge at you in Halo? The way they wave their arms like a retard is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen in a long time.

In Halo 2, they're stronger and smarter, but more predictable, as you always knew where they would come from. The Flood are awesome enemies to fight. I love the mushball bastards.

They look better in Halo 2, but they ACT better in Halo. Plus, in Halo, they had the novelty factor that had you going "What the f**k is this?!?!" every time they showed up.

I hated them in Halo 1 cause they could melee you from a mile away. Their arms wouldnt even be touching me.

In Halo 1, the Flood actually lived up to their name. They attacked in HUGE numbers.(When I first played The Library on Legendary, I thought that the only way to stop them from coming was to just keep going and forcing the game to stop. Unfortunetly, I was screwed when I had to wait for GS.) In Halo 2, their numbers were significantly less, but were much more powerful.(More A.I., ability to drive vehicles, etc.)

yeah, it would have been moore fun if they just hang on a hog , like 12 elite flood, they just hang on the hog and drive on you, and they all hjump off and attak you or somthing.

  • 01.14.2006 3:45 AM PDT

The sacrificed numbers for power. On Legendary, it should have been Halo 1 numbers, but with Halo 2 power and AI.

Bring back the old Flood swarms! This is the Flood, not the trickle, dammit.
