is it just me, or am i the only one who absolutely hates the flood? i mean i don't mind the meing in a few levels, but not throughout the whole game. and who besides me thinks it would be kinda sweet if maybe for 1 level or sumthin the covies and humands temporarily unite to fit ethe flood? especailly in a war-like format, with hundreds of people on both sides, having their battle in a big open desert, or jungle perhaps? i dunno. what do you guys think?

We must always fear evil men...
But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most
and that is the indifference...
of good men.

I dont think you are supposed to like them. I love them tho, fun as hell... covies are too predictable, the flood are a real challenge

I think we all hate and love the flood at the same time. The flood are unbearable to fight. Althouhg i really hated how early in the game they came in Halo 2, way too early for a good plot twist. Although the flood do have a great depth to them, a mystery thats even greater than the Covenant (which isnt much of a mystery now, thanks bungie for that). I think the flood will have to be done a certian way in Halo 3 to make them more like the Halo 1 flood, but more adaptive and intelligent in the same way.

The flood in Halo 3 should use cover, should climb walls and flood out of every opening. Hence "flood" The Flood in Halo 2 just didnt seem to flood as much. In halo 3, they need to come in at least 3/5 or 2/3 the way through the game. Any earlier would be suicide.

It's a good thing you hate the flood, it means bungie is doing their job. You feel the sameway MC and Arbiter do about them.

Speak for yourself. I enjoy fighting them. At times, they have scared me. Especially on the 343 Guilty Spark level.

God, I hate the flood, but it's funner than fighting an elite or something. The only thing that could be funner is if they somehow infected a brute (yes, I know they can't be infected but still...) or a hunter, another impossible thing. It'd be soo freakin hard.

Their hide like skin is too thick for a parasite to accept his body as a host.

Where did you get this information?

Cuase if i remember correctly, the flood can infect anything "with sufficient biomass to contain it" as 343 put it. Im thinking that if the brute was killed, the flood infection form would have all the time in the world to burrow into that thing.

maybe thier bones arent made of calcium, because the flood depend on calcium deposites.
