As I lie, staring into the darkened walls. They slowly grow dim as the clock strikes the windows close the lights fade out and the air grows cold. Nothing but darkness surrounds the only light to be seen the soul the heart emitting a radiance stronger then a thousand suns. Be gone darkness. Never return. As the gates of the mind fall and the darkness seeps inward. That light never grows dim.

i just like shooting there arms and head off so i could hsve flood pets it rocked if u made like 10 of them u could use them as to block rockets bullets plasma and swords

I liked fighting the flood in Halo 1 but they did get kind of annoying. They pissed me off in Halo 2 though. I hated how Bungie downgraded the Shotgun against them. ALso, the fact that the infection forms could reanimate them frustrated me because it made the shotty all but useless. The Energy Sword is the only surefire way to put a combat form down and keep it down. I really hope Bungie returns to the Halo 1 style of Flood combat. Fighting them was much more fun in Halo 1.

This is exactly how I feel.

In halo they were a nice surprise, but in halo 2 they were a nuisance. They are a necissary part of the storyline, and I am confident bungie will work them into Halo 3 in a refreshing way that once again makes them fun to kill.

Halo flood > halo2 flood

Just another thing to the list . . . .

I think the Flood were done much better in Halo 1. They were used as a creepy monster thing, I was freaked out in 343 Guilty Spark, hearing the screaming Marines on the walkie talkies and watching Jenkin's video thing of him and his group being attacked by a then unknown and not expected enemy.
In Halo 2 however, they were only used on a few levels, and as I remember, were all in the Arbiter missions. Bungie needs to use the flood as more of a creepy enemy, like make em' jump out at you when you least expect it, kinda like a Doom 3 monster.

Halo1 was good, there was an actual fear factor when battling them, there were actual floods of flood swarming around you.

In Halo2 it was too easy, shotgun and BR ammo was everywhere, and the spores hardly hurt you.

The Flood had a lot of atmosphere to them in Halo:CE. Listen to the music pieces that play when you first meet them (Lament for Pvt Jenkins and Devils ... Monsters if you have the soundtrack).

They were less fun to fight in Halo 2. There were no camo flood, small groups of spores (which weren't as fun to pop, nor could you easily melee attack them), and their animation was inferior. Someone already mentioned things like the jumping lunge. I think their melee attack looks a lot worse this time too.

It was also exceptionally easy to kill them. On almost every flood level, you can get a sword and kill them with ease. It's cool that you can destroy the infection form in the chest (though not cool that they can now reanimate that), but it makes it too easy.

It's also not fun having shielded ones, though camo flood (CE) were a nice challenge.

What is also funny is that they taught the flood to drive so they could add infinitely spawning vehicles to the flood part of the campaign too ...

Finally, some of the flood screams were terrible. If they're going to make sounds, they should gurgle, not scream. And they shouldn't pop when you blow their limbs off.

Btw, No Doom 3 sections this time (i.e. pitch black with a crappy flashlight)

fighting the flood in H CE was a pain in the ars, but i enjoyed it to it's fullest extent, checking around all hidden corners to make sure you didn't miss any of those bastards so they can come up behind you and kill you, or when your in the middle of a huge gunfight and you think they're dead and they just got right back up.

I DO NOT WANT TO SEE FLOOD WITH SHEILDS.

It ruins the floods idenity. Flood should be organically tough and not so relient on technology. Large groups of good-ol halo1 flood were the best.

I loved fighting the Flood in Halo CE even more than fighting the Covenant. In Halo CE, you were garranted a suprise, but in Halo 2 you kinda knew what to expect.

I liked fighting them in both games! If only you could play as them!

  • 05.13.2006 11:20 AM PDT

I had a blast blowing them to smithereens.

Yes and no. I liked fighting them in Halo 1, but it was just boring in Halo 2.
