As much as I want to post this on Waypoint. I simply can't. Why you ask? It's because I'm permabanned, but that's been like that for a while now.

Anyway... WHY U SO OVERPOWERED FLOOD?!!!

Ahem... after playing a few matches of Flood, there are many broken mechanics that need urgent fixing, because right now, Flood is barely playable.

1. Betrayals! When someone joins, they are considered an enemy to both Flood and the survivors. Another problem the JIP causes, it doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's gets annoying. I'm surprised 343 hasn't got round to this.

2. This one somehow relates to the first problem, but instead of getting betrayed constantly, you spawn with neither a Shotty nor a Magnum. Believe me when I say this, but after joining a match, I ended up with a DMR. It's amusing, yet unfair. I feel that 343 don't really care about Flood, it was something to keep the LD fans hoping, and boy, did they get it, only for it to turn out so heavily broken.

3. Thruster Pack. It's absolutely garbage in other game modes yet it's rather efficient in Flood. What's the point sprinting/jogging when you can cover almost half the map just by using this AA alone. I find it retarded that this AA can junction with a melee attack, something Evade lacked in Reach. Evade was barely containable, yet there's no escaping this AA. Which moves onto my fourth point.

4. Remember back in Reach where you got a Bulltrue, yet you still died anyway? Yes folks, it's back. I'm not going to say much because we all hated this anyway. Hell, it's happens all the time now, there's no escaping it.

5. Is it me or does the Magnum seem weak. There are times where I've put so many bullets (Hitmarkers included) into one guy's face and yet he still lives, thruster packs into my face, and BAM! I die. It might just be me though.

I could go on, but right now, my arm is aching. Feel free to add more to this topic. Remember, this is purely my opinion and experiences.

DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.

Flood plays like Modern Sonic.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

I detest point #4.

I realize the Flood had shields, but sometimes my bullets or Shotgun blasts don't seem to register.

And the Thrusters, it's understandable that the Flood need to dodge incoming bullets, but having the ability to traverse an entire map, I don't like that very much.

So basically you agree with all the reasons Spartan Ken posted earlier, only you beat him at getting banned first?

I don't know the exact reason for why I was banned, I just did. And as you can see, I don't normally post that much. I'm not that very active as I use too. So I miss quite a lot of threads during the day, but if you want, can you link this thread of his?

I will never forgive Bungie for giving every Infection player along with 343 the mentality that zombies knew Kung-Fu or something along the lines of it when they were alive.

I make a living of selling my body, and I don't mean sex.

Doesn't make sense to me that the Flood can kill so easily. What happened to the way H3 or Reach had it where the game slowly gets harder? I'd rather be a Flood than a human due to the fact that I get more kills in that form than the latter.

  • 11.27.2012 3:06 PM PDT

Oddly, I can't find his thread when I swear I saved it. I'm still looking for it though. It wasn't too old of a thread he made.

EDIT: Ah ha! Found it! He actually listed good idea for Flood and they Ban Hammered his unfortunate ass.

I don't need no stinking signature!

I think the amount of health and shields the flood has is fine, it's that damn thruster pack that ruins it completly.

FLOOD ARE OVERPOWERED? -blam!- you. What, now you can't camp in the back like a whimp and get 30+ kills? Get some freaking balls and run around like real players do.
1. Its every man for himself, deal with it.
2. Never happened to me.
3. Its actually great. Prevents flood from being spawnkilled/camped.
4. That is just lag.
5. Zombies have a small but noticeable shield...?

End: Your arm aches from typing that? *Face desk*

I agree.

Halo 3 was at it's finest. Halo Reach was alright, except for it's piss-poor maps and it's atrocious remakes. Halo 4 however...

Ive gotten 20 kills in a row as a human being a flood is harder still. OP needs to learn to play better. Dont sit in a corner it doesnt work in this

Implying that I camp for kills and use cheap methods for a hard-to-reach spot to get too.

I don't think you actually read my OP, but decided to bash it instead. How the -blam!- are you even a Legendary member in the first place? Also, my arms were aching since the start of the day. It's called work.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

Thrusters make the game unplayable, and it's no longer infection, more like slayer vs weird things with energy swords.

Bullet problem sounds more like lag, I haven't encountered it.

Meh, Halo 4 has been laggy over the course of it's release, it might be just that.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

I just think it's a shame that you can't change the Flood's weapons.

You must've been playing with idiots.
Playing as the Flood is leagues easier than playing as a human. Slicing while thruster packing = kill.

No, I actually DID read your post. How'd I get to be a Legendary member? By being a member since Halo 3 was released (Which has nothing to do with the conversation). Don't post your opinion and not expect retorts, whilst you bash mine.
