Hunters can't be affected.

Flood hate Grunts.

Give me a Flood-infected Tank.

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

Hunters cannont be taken by the flood due to their biotic structure. Hunters are made up of thousands of little worms that work together, as opposed to being just a single biotic matter. When the flood take over a hunter, well, they couldn't, they could only kill it. There are grunt floods. They're the carrier forms. Smaller life forms, such as grunts, are too small to act like the fighter forms, so they're used as carrier forms. As for brutes, who knows.

Not true, those pregnant ones that explode? They're grunts, not always but most of the time.

Infected Brutes would be good. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Didn't we have flood driven tanks in Halo 2?

One shot: one kill, zero seconds to live

i'd hate to go up against the brute floods, but also the hunters can't be infected and the grunts are the carriers

Hunters:no, bluebaron is right

Grunts: possibly not, too weak

Jackals: just like the grunts, still too weak to be a fighter

Brute: yes, very strong fighters

Elite: already happened

Drone: they can put thier flight ability to good use, but very weak

any covenant species i missed please reffer.

Imagine carriers that float up/over to you...

How bout flood infected dogs, cats and squirls? That is if the flood makes it to earth. That would be sweet.

Yeah, we did. As wel as all other ground vehicles. I think the hunters aren't a mass of worms, it wouldn't have the consious thought needed to act in the way it does (intellegently). It is far more likley that hunters bare relations (Physical rather than evolutional) to the Testudines order (Tortoises). Their shells are covered by armour and the orange is the muscle to control contraction.

you forgot about prophets, but they would be even weaker than the grunts

actually, jackals probably can be fighters because infected humans are strong and usefull to the flood. jackals are probably stronger than humans, i dont know.

the drone wings aren't that strong, but with the strength they get from infection, probably. Floating carriers would open a new difficulty in Halo, like flood wasn't hard enough.

any other weak prey like prophets are going to end up like captian keyes, ugly. I didn't mention prophets because I thought that you guys would already know they are as weak as grunts. Howbout brain flood forms, intellegent but weak prey can be used to store information.

Humans are way stronger.
Ok. So we just need to get a jackel to arm wrestle a marine and then its settled.

so far the only thing that has intelegence is the gravemind, but it doesn't seem like the flood are too keen on gathering anything more on intel other than how to kill and work vehicles.

flood can only infect living organisms, im not sure if they can infect machinery, because gravemind kinda turned high charity into a floodlike fortress that the chief will have to destroy(another boss like Tartarus) eventually in Halo 3.
