I didn't like them in H2, some had sheilds. But then again, when all we had was HaloCE, I didn't like them then. But if I had to choose, I'd go with the HaloCE flood, they were more mindless. I want less levels with them tho. Although... I did like the kind of fear Bungie tried to instil when the flood were near in H2. It seemed like they were more fearsome creatures, rather than "what the hell is that?" "I don't know, just shoot it!"

I like fighting the flood, because I think that they can be harder than the covenant.

+ They can use all weapons, all vehicles
+ Their melee attack is just lovely <3
+ They keep nice sounds while fighting
+ They can jump really high, long
- Sometimes they act very stupidly.

In Halo 1, the flood were very amusing because of their behaviour when they have no arms. Try shooting off their arms and let them follow you around until you have a large number of harmless flood. Then wait for them to gather round and jump on top of them. Now you can walk on a carpet of flood. Yay! That doesn't quite take the same effect in Halo 2 though since they can kick you.

bungie got rid of the ability to make flood pets.
shoot off both arms, and they fall over and pop.

Most people loathed the library's repetition and constant battle with the flood, but I kind of liked it. Running around with an AR and a Shotgun, blowing the -blam!-es away. then they came up with the flood infection forms bringing guys back to life by going into their chest, which is cool realisticly, but you can shoot all the infection forms before they ever have a chance.i still like fighting elites and grunts way more than the flood.

I agree, I kind of liked being all by myself, the enemy swarming at me from all sides. I still remember the first time a combat form got back to its feet after I shot it down.I was all "HOOooollyy crap D:". In Halo 2, they upped it with those Elite forms that had shields. And did anyone see the video of the Flood Juggernaut? They were never put into use, but using a modded Xbox you can find an area were there are a ton just stashed around. Hopefully we'll see those bad boys in Halo 3.

i dont know, the flood in halo 1 gave you a good spirit in halo 2, it didnt do much of a deal, it was getting boring even tho there was TONES of it in 1 and 2. Like in the library it was getting a little boring.

I have a modded xbox and have fought against them. They aren't that much fun, and they aren't massed around, they just replaced the brutes in the level thanks to the mod. I personally do not want to see them.

If you have better things to do, why are you playing a video game....

haha, this is a close call on this poll... umm, yes and no, I thought that they were kind of a repetitive kinda character... all the AI was completely the same, they didnt use any tactics, they just ran at you and tried to kill you mindlessly... I know thats kinda what they are meant to do, but Im sure Bungie can come up with a creative way to make them more tricky / challenging to fight...

I don't like fighting them in Halo 2, useally just turn invisable and sneak through in and when I'm the Chief I try to run through the level.

That is one of the main problems with halo 2 imo, the fact that there are enemies that are more fun the just run past, then to kill. and the fact that you have infininant number of cloaking abilities

Yeah, The Flood were so much more menacing in Halo: Combat Evolved, and they were much, much more numerous in Halo as well.

And they never stopped.......they just kept coming. In halo 2 it wasn't like that, in fact the entire game was much less intense.

And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

Sort of. I loved fighting them in Halo 1. [except the library] But Halo 2, it was too easy. There were tanks to fight them with! And swords, and shotguns and BR's everywhere. It was kind of boring. They should come out with a new breed of flood, like brutes.

Acting like pre and post pubescent idiots who feel confident behind Internet anonymity? Even though it's applicable to the majority of our members, we ask that they not do that here.

The first time I fought the flood I was scared (still kinda am).

They are some of the most annoying SOBs in the game.

They keep going... and going... and going... and going and going...

and they never stop

No they did use weapons , and u guys are right in halo 1 it was actually pretty cool and stuff but in halo 2 they were too easy, i think they should make halo 3 more like the first with a good storyline because in my opninion i think halo 1 was better , halo 2 was bascially just made for xbox live.

Yes it puts scariness in the game (kinda) but they do need to make them scarier.

I liked them in Halo: CE, but in Halo 2, they were just annoying. I also hated the flood level because they were always so dark.
