As you know,The covenant purely hate the Flood but what we all want to know is that,can the covenant ever defeat the flood, with their own weapons? When one covenant soldier dies he is replaced by hundreds of others.But so does the flood. So can the entire covenant armada ever get the best out of the flood?

Well...

High Charity was a Covenant city guarded by thousands of ships and home to millions if not billions of Covenant, and the Flood were able to take the entire city.

Think of it militarily. The Flood is not a traditional enemy. Normally when you spread out your forces, you grow weaker because you can't keep hold of all of your territory. The opposite is true for the flood. As they spread, they get stronger.

In addition, they create Combat forms by infecting compatible hosts, living or dead (but not too beat up if dead). This means that as the Covenant grows weaker from losing soldiers, the Flood grows stronger by gaining them. As an added bonus, the Flood can resurrect fallen Combat forms, whereas the Covenant does not have that option.

To summarize, the Flood is unstoppable once it reaches a certain level of strength. The very existence of the Halo network proves this. Makes you wonder what they plan to do about High Charity in Halo 3.

The Covenant suck. They coudlnt kill flood unless you shot its head legs arms and infection form off. There weapons suck.

Why would their weapons suck? The Flood had no weapons of their own, while the Covenant create theyre weapons using PLASMA.

Not only that, if the Covenant have capital ships, with destructive power like Halo, only minimized, one could easily destroy the Flood.

Covenant weapons are not as effective against the Flood as human weapons because plasma only burns off the top layers of tissue. Human weapons are projectiles that penetrate the infection-form and destroy it, paralyzing the combat-form.

francisco this is mohrs this my reply to your forum i think that the covenant has a better advantage against the flood because the covenants has their own technology but the flood depends on what they suck from the species they contaminate and they are more advance and more aztig than flood
