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.


Agreed the sword was fun on lower difficulties but Legendary it was a waste of time unless you were putting down a flood you just put down or destroying bodies. for me it's the needler,carbine,plasma rifle (brute and elite)

hence the empty one clip, reload, empty the other, repeat

shotgun, shotgun

pick up Plasma Rifles, own, move on.
If that's Legendary you are better player than me pal.

Edit: oops


I'm not invincible, but it's what works.

I may be wrong, but I distinctly remember shotguns were rather ineffective against the flood in Halo 2.

Dual needlers, the ammo is fairly easy to come by, almost no effort/aiming/skill required, you have epic rate of fire AND explosive damage, what more could you possibley want?

:3 I will die. :[

Remove your halo 2 disk. throw it out of the window and put in Halo 3 instead, then all of the flood from Halo 2 will be dead


Remove your Halo 3 disk. Open the Windows and Jump off. So, we can ridicule you some more. Kay?

Look at your game collection, put Halo Reach, Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo 3 at the very beginning of the shelf...

Feel accomplished.

Take Halo Wars and burn it. With fire. Not the copying software.

The pancakes have broken the perimeters of the Castle and the Duke of Crepes has allied with us. For Glory, For Honor, FOR WAFFLES!!!

Bullets are more damaging, but Plasma makes them stay dead

Never try Plasma Pistol + SMG combo.

Unless you have the ungodly ability to rapid fire a plasma pistol.

Halo 2 for Life!

see some might not fully kill them as well, some weapons only drop them.

things like rockets or grenades will kill them and make sure they don't get revived (one can easily be surrounded if they are not careful).

one can do this with regular weapons but it takes longer (have to kill them individually most of the time).

I still think the best weapon is to run lol.

Sword obviously, but the best gun is the plasma rifle.

But the best weapon is shooting off their whip arm.

If they were charging at you, let them attempt to melee you (you can jump away before they hit you and they'll never be able to melee again)

You know, I wonder if you could get a few that way? Do they live on? It would be hilarious to have a gang of them walking around aimlessly.

You got stuck by FalconStickr

I used the Plasma Rifle and Carbine the most.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Brute Shot Melee, Energy Sword, Shotgun to face, BR/Carbine, and the Sentinel Beam.

Unfortunately, I was wrong. Now they try to melee me with their other arm! :(

However, I think I may have found a way to deal with those elevator Flood Elites on Oracle. I'll mention it on jumprs.

I was actually playing the Sacred Icon using this method, and I actually found it worked against the Human forms. haven't tried it on the elite forms though.
