Why are there so damn many flood??? I mean, it's not like there were actually that many humans and elites taken over by the flood! But look at the 4 levels where you fight the floood! there are so many of them, but we know that at least half of the humans and elites used to be dead. And the humans are in their base, covies in their ship and outposts and patrols. So where did they all come from?

I'm not sure. Guess there were more Marines/Covvy on Halo than we thought?

Wern't they in hybernation? That could explain it.

I kinda thot that the covies killed about half the humans, and the covies were just stupid, and fkew down to become flood. I guess the flood just stole all the dead bodies that we "made" and made all the dead ppl and covies into flood.

The Flood doesn't make comabt forms out of dead bodies, they need to be alive, If I recall correctly.

Nah. I remember...even in halo CE, id kill the flood with 2 shotgun balsts, and in 343GS theyed take over the dead marines and hit me in the back. In halo2, theyd just turn the dead marines and elites into combat forms.

I am guessing that the covies are to blame seeing as not only did they let out the flood but they also fed them so well with their cannon foddere gruint and jackal troops. Cannon fodder grunts work well until their corpses start becoming the enemies reproduction. But also i always felt it gave the halo 1 flood an overwhelming feel.The floor was always covered in a carpet of flood infection forms and there was always a pack of combat forms. Now it feels like the infection forms are more like those few infection form aliens from (Alien) as there are less of them and they seem more agile than swarmy, and the combat forms seem to be less numerous and just more powerfull. I liked the frail bodies and numerous style of H1.

Well, it is partly because an infection form can take over an already killed combat form, as seen in Halo 2. So, you can kill one, but they can use it again later.

Well, the machines were breeding them in captivity/studying them (I think) to help the Forerunners find a weakness, and then they escaped (how unexpected). For each marine or covie they kill, that's one extra soldier for their invincible army. Anyway, they can fly ships, so I wouldn't be surprised if they get around a bit.

Any1 can see that flood in halo CE were better. They didnt just appear....o wait yes they did, but it seemed like they were trying to kill you, not just make u use up all ur ammo. And when they swarm you, a carrier comes in and blows em all up.

O_O you looked at your friends balls when "he" sat on your head O_o

well, they do have many different phases, allowing combat forms to fight for a while then becom carriers with an ongoing disease which regenerates more and more of them all the time, you would have to destroy there main hive to stop the flood

There so many because they're weak! So weak that, to hide that fact, they attack in large numbers. Nothing a shotgun can't fix though......
