Subject: So, I Forgot. Why Do You Hate The Flood Again?

I was just sitting back thinking about how much I missed fighting the Flood in the past two Halos, and then I remember how much people said they hated fighting the Flood.

I don't remember why. I find them to be more interesting than the Covenant. They have a better back story too. Is the Flood too challenging for ya? Does the Flood scare ya?

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Because they don't do anythign different. It's always Combat Forms, Infection Forms, and Carrier Forms. Halo 3 mixed it up a bit with the Pure Form, but the Flood have so much potential. They got boring.

They get repetative, they are close comabt (which I don't like), are annoying, and they are just -blam-ing creepy.

The Covies were pretty much the same??? There weren't too much additions to the Covenant from one Halo game to another.

Personally, I liked playing against the flood, because it would be a good excuse for there to be a flamethrower, swords, and plenty of shotguns around (at least in Halo 3). also, they could help you get rid of covenant or weaken them significantly, which was pretty useful on Legendary.

The covies were entertaining, and each specie was unique and awesome.

True, but at least the Covenant had interesting factions within their ranks and new factions were added in Halo 2 and refined for Halo 3.

The Flood BARELY changed.

Do you like Yax? I do.

I used to not like Flood levels on high difficulties, but since I've started replaying the older campaigns I love the levels with Flood. They are more interesting to fight than Covenant. I can't wait to fight the Flood with improved graphics in CEA.

Ok, yeah I see where you're coming from. The flood where annoying at times on Legendary in any of the Halos, especially in H3 with the ranged forms, but I didnt hate fighting them

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

In Halo 2, all you needed was a shotgun to conquer the Flood. In Halo 3, all you need is your fists. The Ranged forms in Halo 3 were basically the only exception. It got extremely boring and repetitive.

I enjoy playing all the halo games and have beat them all on Lengendary, whoo hoo. :P

I like them slapping me.

Welcome to bungie, you have no rights. play nice!
CLICK!

I like the flood.

  • 08.31.2011 4:49 PM PDT

They're just really annoying and after Halo CE they got less scary until by Halo 3 they weren't scary at all.

They should bring back the much tougher and scarier Halo 1 and 2 flood, only give them much more advanced AI and maybe some sort of scarier moves, like takleing marines and dragging them off or something. Anything but the mindless rush of brainless punching bags they are now.

The flood are somewhat similar to the Xenomorph or "Alien" from that series, fast and viscous but above all smart, they should act more like they do in the book The Flood, then we would truly fear them.
