You obviously Are in the wrong forum...
This forum is for old bungie games and for halo canon...
What u just said is the oposite of what is stated by the game,books.
INFACT flood does learn from its victims....and its told in every game and book that has flood in it...
This makes me think that you have never played halo...
And I'm just curious ....why are you saying things that you actually dont know ?
You clearly don't know anything about the tyranids. The flood can't learn how to use the tyranids guns, because the tyranid IS the gun. Tyranid guns are actually smaller tyranids, as are the bullets. The tyranids can evolve much faster than the flood can learn about whatever it could possibly learn.
Also, the tyranids don't build ships, they don't have 'tech'. Once again, a Tyranid IS the ship. That is why Tyranid ships can literally east other ships. They are massive animals.
I have been playing Halo from the start. Why are you attempting to speak English, when you clearly have a problem doing it?
The Flood cannot beat the tyranids. The Hive Mind is infinitely more powerful than the Gravemind. The Tyranids can evolve in a matter of hours to combat the infection. The flood cannot possible infect every tyranid entity. The tyranids harvest every single speck of biomass to make more tyranids, leaving the planet attacked as bare rock. The tyranids re harvest their own dead back into more tyranids, so the Flood would not be able to infect many tyranid forms, and even if they didm there is far too many tyranids of different types to deal with. I would love to see a couple of combat forms try to take town a Hive tyrant, or a Biotitan.
-Same with the Flood or did you forgot the fact that the Flood had biological weapons like spores,spikes or big balloon bombs in Halo Wars.
Bull-blam!-, the Flood supercell allows them to adapt to any situation and allows them to create ANY organ they need.
Source is the bestiarium on wayppoint,you can offcourse read the halopedian page.
-And the Flood is a single organism known as the Gravemind
-Prove it that the Hive mind is stronger the the Gravemind.Everything you just said is done by the Flood too.Look at High Charity,the Flood got biomass out of an artificial planetoid,it wasn't even a fertile planet. Or just look at the Halo Wars shield world,it's barren as hell full of Flood buildings that can regenrate after sustaining damage and can even throw more Flood at you.
If you watched Halo legends origins,you see Flood forms the size of Forerunner Dreadnaughts.
It takes more then a month for the nids to fully infect a planet,it only takes a few days for the Flood to do the same.
The Flood's biological weapons are nowhere near on par with what the Tyranids have to offer, they can terraform slowly and make small explosions, but for the main part, all the Flood has is the ability to infect.
The Flood would be vastly outnumbered by the Tyranids too, a Tyranid invasion force (A very minor part of the entire Tyranid race) numbers in billions of live ships, these live ships housing trillions of Tyranids with devestating weapons and adaptations, the Flood are limited to being little ballons of doom, unless they can find sufficient biomass to fuel the war effort. Even if they managed to infect some of the Tyranid forces, it's likely that the hive fleet would quickly adapt and form a resistance to infection, rendering the Flood's only real offensive measure useless.
Both the Flood and the Tyranids are terrifying foes that could bring man to the brink of extinction, but they are from entirely different universes. The Flood are for a universe in which humanity numbers in the lower billions with relatively simple technology, and are a threat to match this. But the Tyranids are from a universe in which humanity numbers in the trillions, with millions of planets settled, awe inspiring technology, and a multitude of other races with other such advantages.
The Tyranids need to be able to take on a galaxy in a perpetual war of a gargantuan and terrifying scale, the Flood need to be able to take on a weak humanity and the Covenant. Admittedly they took on the Forerunners too, but this can be attributed to things other than sheer force, ancient humanity beat the Flood and "only" lost a third of their race. They're designed differently for story purposes.
Also, Hive Mind > Gravemind, purely because the Hivemind is always there, and does not need to be formed to lead, in addition to the benefit of psychic powers.
