I was disappointed in H2 when they didnt add any more forms of flood then was in H1...The flood are annoying but new forms would spice it up.

What about a hunter in flood form, hunters that aren't immune to the infection. I saw a drawn picture of this fictional character somewhere. That would be insane to have one of these.

Yea, the flying Bugger form sounds cool, but the Flood's already friggin annoying, so I hope they are not in H3, they shouldn't be, I mean, H3 is going to be on Earth right?

Why not a Brute form? Or are they immune? And I dont think theres really a need for a flying form since they jump like 30ft up anyways.

Gravemind has a working ship with a Shaw-Fujikawa engine. He is more than likely going to ask Cortana for the coordinates to Earth. He will use the ship to get to Earth. OR if the theories some people are having about the Flood being in the Ark are true, then we're still screwed no matter. Also, they HAVE to be in H3. They're the biggest plot device ever! Especially Gravemind. He needs to loose some weight.

ON TOPIC. I think that more Flood would be interesting. And having one for the other races of the Covenant would make sense. But as I've said before, I think the Flood think the Brutes are too dumb to use, so they're safe.

Yo, StingRay00Alex? there already is a grunt flood form.

The exploders.

look at the legs of explodies, then look at grunt legs. same shape.

And i guess all the methane in that grunts life-surport-system is what makes all those spores grow inside of it.

Carrier forms. And it's not because of the methane. It's already been explained in multiple places. The Flood consider the Grunts and Jackals too weak to become Combat Forms, so they instead use them as Carrier Forms.

I think it would be a little inconsistent to add new forms of flood, unless you get told they mutate into an even weirder form or something.

" When the group finally reaches the main floor of the conduit bay, a new Flood form awaits them. This creature is known as MALOCANTH PREFECT, and is a giant, vicious biped that has infected another, unrevealed Covenant race."

A hunter flood form is impossible, they have sufficent calcium, but not a suffient mass to be infected.

The Flood Juggernaut would work.

For those who say they don't want flood in it, thats really not possible. Halo just isn't Halo without half naked killing machines, quoting Cortana. Sure, new forms would be fun, as long as they aren't so over-powered that you get so frustrated while fighting one, you scream, throw your controller on the floor, tear your hair out, and go running out of the house. Something balanced would be good.

Oh, no, HELL no.

As little flood as possible, within
reasonable plot confines, if you may

And a boss battle against Gravemind would
be sickeningly lame. I do not play Halo
for boss battles; it's just not that style of game.
