Subject: what do you call the flood?

i personally call the infection forms 'meni (men-eye)' after a mis-interpretation of a cut-scene. (it seems to fit well too.)
i call the carrier forms 'poppy dudes'
and combat forms just'flood'
pures are just 'tanks','annoying shooty guys',and'spiders'

what do you call them?

I just call them by their names.
Infection forms, carriers, elite/brute/marine flood, tank forms, archer forms and stalker forms.

Sangheili Major: "Brute ships. Staggered line! Shipmaster, they outnumber us, three-to-one!"

Rtas 'Vadum: "Then it is an even fight. All Cruisers, fire at will! Burn their mongrel hides!"

I usually just refer to them all as Flood, or by their actual names. (i.e, combat forms, infection forms, tank forms, etc.)
However, being seven when I first started playing, I ended up coming up with some rather stupid names. c:

The Flood as one I used to call "Uglies"
Infection forms were "Poppers" or "Popcorn" ...OTL.
Carrier corms were simply "Exploding ones"
Combat forms...I think I just referred to them as either "zombies" or "Uglies"
And then the Proto-Gravemind I just liked to call "that weird thing that Captain Keyes is in."

Ohh, the age of seven to eight. How I miss those years of me not paying attention to the story.
...Actually, I don't miss that.

Whens there's no one to turn to, just aim ahead

I don't name what I'm about to shoot.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

I used to have some pretty stupid names for them, but now I just use their actual names.

Infection forms... poppers.

All others usually involve me saying "I freaking hate these things."

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.
