the Orks aren't that great, there are bigger problems in the Warhammer 40,000 universe that make the Orks look like school children. the Necrons for example are an almost unstoppable race of living machines, they cannot be infected since they aren't biological and their weapons are god-like, breaking targets down at the atomic level, no amount of armour or protection makes a difference.
another enemy is the Tyranids, which are far far far worse than the Flood, billions of horrible, barbed clawed, razor toothed creatures shooting you with acidic weapons and such, controlled by a 'hive mind', they arrive at a world and that world is lost, pretty much regardless! also doubt they can be infected by the Flood as well, since they are very genetically advanced.
Yeha, that sounds like the Flood to me.
People need to realize the Flood has never shown their true colors. The games always depicted a small infestation, nothing close to what the "true" Flood could achieve.
Tyranids vs the Flood would likely never end. They'd just keep infecting each other (assuming on my part Tyranids are a virus of some sort) and swapping soldiers for all eternity. So long as Tyranids haven biomass, the Flood can use them for parts at the very least.
OT: The Orks are incredibly stupid. The Mind wouldn't get much out of them other then resources (biomass). Now the Imperium...imagine an infected Space MarineA lot of what you said about the Flood applies to the Tyranids as well. Having devoured dozens of galaxies, their Hive Fleets are massive beyond measure. One picture depicting a Hive Fleet showed them as a mass of tentacles almost as big as the Eye of Terror. The main difference between the Tyranids and the Flood is that Tyranids are not an infection. Rather, they take biomass, any biomass, and convert it into various gaunts, carnifexs, gargoyles etc. This gives them a slight advantage as Tyranids do not need their victims nervous system intact to make use of them.
An infected Space Marine would cause some problems. But the Imperium has a solution to those sorts of infections.
I see ,but the Flood too use biomass to create Pure forms,they take biomass from the environment,just look at High Charity a space station transformed into a pile of Flood biomass.
Roberto is right,the games never showed the true form of the flood.But Halo 3 and Wars showed a bit more,oh and Origins part I.
I hope Halo 4 changes this.
