Subject: best weapons to use against the flood

what are the best weapons to use against the flood besides shotgun and energy sword one of mine is the brute shot the melee is as strong as the energy sword and uses no ammo like the sword

  • 08.14.2011 7:16 PM PDT

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Sentinel Beam is a great weapon. The Battle Rifle is excellent assuming you get "Sweet Spot" shots.

Sentinel Beam and the Carbine is good as well.

Halo 2 for Life!

the best weapon is to avoid. weapons specifically doesn't really matter strategy is where it's important. Grenades work real well on the floaty looking things. Other then this rocket launcher is fun to use, or a vehicle is good to.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Brute shot melee, plasma grenades, battle riffle, rocket launcher, and fuel rod are the best weapons against the flood on Halo 2 other then the shotgun and energy sword.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

the only weapons I wouldnt use is the pp, pr, sniper rifle, beam rifle or carbine. everything else should work fine

When I go down the elevator on Oracle on Legendary, I only use a sword, a Sentinel Beam (against the Sentinels) or a Carbine (against the flood). Carbines are underrated on the flood, imo.

Actualy the carbine is very affective against the flood,and the plasma rifle is good against the sentinels.

True that

I use the Sentinel Beam on the Sentinels because I always use Blind and also because there's a lot of them laying around during the trip down.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

I find the Scarab Gun to be quite effective.

No weapon is effective against a scorned women's fury. You might need 2 scarab gun's against your ex-wife.

SO TRUE

Hmm, even if I defeat the dragon lady, there's still her mother. We all know that ex-mother's in law are invincible to any attack. I better hold off.

As a rule i use, any headshot capable weapon is good against the flood provided you can actually aim a shot and hit the infection form sticking out of the chest (instant kill). For Carriers, nade's are your friend. If you see a flood with a shield, then use a plasma weapon (I try to use a Carbine/Sword combo on flood levels, seems to work wonders)

Yeah, the best speedrunners at HSH seem to all go for that combo.

people find the carbine useful against the flood? i shall try using it then. assumed it wasnt good against them because of the bullet > health/plasma > shields rule.

I use grenades to do away with shields, then it's a quick headshot to the upper chest with the carbine.

I've never used a PP carbine combo but now that I think about it it sounds good for Flood shooting.

I still pick up the Sentinel Beam only because it's like using a tracer in the dark spooky hallways.

I actually do not like using the Sword, only as a last ditch effort. This is because it cannot kill Elite-infected in one hit on higher difficulty and that second swing can be the death of you with the intense clubbing across your head.

Really? I didn't know that, should check them out. I just assumed since the Carbine was a headshot capable and weapon and being plasma, would work wonders against any flood form (even with shields) and the Covenant. The Sword was there for when things get a little too close for comfort :)

I use the Shotgun and dual Magnums.

"Magnums are ineffective, you noob."

Not when you fire a clip from one, then the other and repeat until you kill them or run out of ammo.

magnum is perfect against the flood! just keep pulling RT/LT rappidly with dual magnums and you can kill 3 on legendary. than you have to deal with the bastard extra long reload time when dual wielding -.- (unless you're using neelders)
