the flood would be easier to fight then it would with terrorists. Because terrorists take very powerful morphene and other drugs so when they get shot it doesn't affect them and they keep moving. But with the flood all you gotta do is give em a good blast in the stomache and they are down for the count.
Actually, the Flood would be at about the same level as terrorists, as they are somewhat the same. Remember that the Flood swarm all over the damn place and don't give up, unlike unprepared or unwilling terrorists. The Flood also have the same suicidal disposition that terrorists have, and also have exploding Carrier forms among their ranks, such as suicide bombers. There have been some rare cases where the Flood's intended victim is mutated, but not psychologically controlled, such as a terrorist joining, only to turn against his fellow companions. One of these rare cases is actually Private Jenkins. Also remember that the Flood can reinfect downed members as long as their body isn't in many different pieces, and the Flood are also very similar to terrorists, as when they take a shot, they either die or keep coming. If you blew off a terrorist's arm, he'd be screwed, but the Flood still have the other arm. Let's also not forget that the Flood can jump higher than hell, smack harder than hell, and like I said, they really live up to their name. The Flood would be a little harder than terrorists, but probably not better.
Here's a comparison betweem terrorists and the Flood:
Infection Forms=Terrorist Propaganda
Combat Forms=Terrorists
Carrier Forms=Suicide Bombers
The Flood swarm, don't die easy, and don't really respond to bodily harm or getting beat up.
Terrorists are sneaky, suicidal, and don't respond to bodily harm or peace talks.
Pretty even, and I have no idea as to who would win in a match.
And remember, Halo 2 allows vehicle operation to the Flood, so terrorist T-62s and Technicals would need to be on the lookout for Gauss "Hogs, Scorpions, and Wraiths.
If you are a combat veteran, Spartan 19283746, I am in no way insulting your service to your country. If so, what branch?
