A lot of people have been posting threads about how they would like
to see different flood types in Halo 3

What If a Spartan was infected in Halo 3 and Masterchief is
pitted in a Battle Against Him. It could Even Be 1 of the Spartan
Clones Trained By Col. Ackerson so you wouldn't be f
ighting against a good guy.

That would make a GREAT BOSS BATTLE !!

Expand on if you l ike.

A Spartan Flood would be scary.

I picture this on the end of High Charity in Halo 2. MC's about to hitch a ride to the Forerunner Ship. As he runs up, a Flood is standing in the way. But it's not an ordinary Flood. Cutscene shows MC sprinting up, then stops and looks closer-a close up of the Spartan Flood as it gruesomely screeches at you and draws it SMGs. MC backs up one step and draws his own weapon. Cutscene over. Battle begin. After you've defeated the Flood Spartan, Brutes will pour in on one side, with Flood on the other in an endless fashion while you can go catch your ride. It seems another Spartan was on board In Amber Clad when it departed from Earth.

Wow.... how dumb are you?

Boss battles are the hadrest part of the game. and people like stuff they are good at. so you must be rubbish at fighting the hard part of games.

Even though I only did halo2 on legenedary with the banshee.

i think that a spartan flood would be cool but i think that they should also make a new race for the flood to add on to the spartan flood and they should also make a new covenit to ok i have something if the spartan's can turn into flood than make it to were the covenit and brutes can also turn into flood but i still think that they should make new coveint and brutes and if u want a good boss battle than make it were at the end of H3 MC has to fight one of the spartan flood but that is not it ok when u go to fight the spartan flood u have an covenit alli with u ok when u beat the spartan flood your covenit alli that u fought beside turns in to an covenit flood the strongest one and u have to fight it so what yall think about that idea i just though of it right off the top of my head pretty good uh

well if yall think it is good than E-Mail me at DemonWolf4311@yahoo.com well i hope some one thinks it is a good idea

Cool idea, but boss battles are bad. Very bad. Still, it would be a worthy adversary. Probably too hard for me to take on. I'm scared...

well thanks but it should not be that hard because they will not have uber strong wepions and they wont have an aimbot on H3 they are suposed to have a better AI system this time

I think a Spartan II Flood Form will kick ass. I don't know about the guy that hates boss battles, but if you play games like Time Splitters - then you'd understand the awesome replay value of boss battles because of the Co-op feature.
Hell, I like boss battles especially because it changes the flow of the game. I don't want to go through a game fighting the same things over again. A change of pace is good. Like land combat then suddenly you're in a banshee, then you're driving a warthog with allies, then lastly a boss battle allies (that don't get killed so easily)

I'm thinking Call of Duty 2.

What ones are alive? it was Fred, John (117), sam, linda, cant remeber other
Sam/fred left to fight on covenant ship and consequently died, linda(i think) killed by plasma rifle or plasma grenade. That leaves John-sam/fred-other one i forgot.

This right?

Which (The Female) are you talking about?? Linda? Kelly? Grace?

There are 4 spartans alive as I know of, TWO females and TWO males, this is not including chief. So 5 spartans left.

There is also that Cassandra character that writes to chief but idk who she is. (that may be non-canon, i forgot)

Spartan floods would be smarter, they suck tactics out their heads. But I dont want a flood spartan, thats not good.

Will, Fred, Linda and Kelly are alive.

We do not know where Fred, Will and Linda did disappear, but they were alive at the end of FoR, while Kelly was taken by Halsey to the stars.

It would be possible that Ackerson had one of the Spartans to fight and trying to find a new Forerunner tech. thus it would most likely meet Flood at some point. It is even possible that ONI send some Spartan 3's after In Amber Clad along with ODST's to take down Prophets and finded out that there was another Halo. They went searching for Library along with IAC and met the Flood.

Boss Battles are good. They are important part of the story, makes it evolve, twists it and changes your purpose to play. So goes with all good games, like MGS, Halo, FF, Time Splitters, Half-Life, God of War, Mario Bros, Zelda, Shadow of Colossus and so forth.
Even Duke Nukem needed Boss Battles, and those were neato.

What games have you played? What kind of game it would be if all you do was to kill same opponent over and over again without accomplishing anything?

I'd say that fighting against Flood Spartan would bring good twist to the story and it would provide good part to the new Novel.

"I'm hungry..."

Fred, John, Linda (wounded, but still alive), and Kelly (Sorta kidnapped by Dr. Halsey for unknown reasons). As far as I know, there are still 4 living Spartans.

Also, Sam was the first Spartan to die in combat. Fred is still alive.


Bosses are not so bad if they make some kind of sense. Tartarus, Regret, and the Heretic Leader on harder difficulties made absolutely NO logical sense when compared to the rest of the game. The Scarab, while not an official "boss" per se, was the best boss in the game. It made sense in nearly every way you look at it. The real bosses didn't, with Regret and Tartarus being the most difficult to believe.

Halo 3 should have bosses. Bosses like the Scarab, though, not like Tartarus. It is fun fighting bosses or boss-esque parts, but they should have you apply everything you've learned so far playing the game, not throw it all out the window while you do stupid repetitive actions to beat a cliche, stupid boss. One major thing that was wrong was that they were too darn different than their normal counterparts. The Heretic Leader was pretty good on the two easier difficulties (other than the fact that a hologram should not be able to hurt you) but the other two were pretty bad. No brute has shields but Tartarus does and it's an impenetrable shield that can only be taken down by one gun shot by one person. Even if you got the SAME gun and shot in the SAME place, you do absolutely nothing. If they wanted to make Tartarus harder to kill than a regular brute they could have done something more believable, like making his weapon more powerful or make him have have a cloaking device, and have him no more resiliant than a normal brute.

Imagine, Tartarus with the natural resiliance of a normal brute, cloaked and hard to see (maybe even throw in some smog and dim lighting) and surrounded by n number of honor guard brutes. Hard enough to be the final battle and climax of the game, but not stupid and nonsensical.


More on topic...
I don't think a Spartan Flood form would be very good. First off, where did the Spartans, besides MC, come in contact with the flood. Also, like someone already stated, it would be no more powerful or dangerous than an elite flood form. Would be kind of interesting to see, though.

  • 06.15.2006 11:34 AM PDT

You better close this sig when your done.

Ok idea (i guess) but only if its one of the other spartans and not the MC because the game would end.

yeah i know thats very obvious.
