Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

They also said Halo 2 was going to be a far darker game, but there wasn't as much cases of desperate Marines, or Scary Environments as there were in the first Halo..


Don't think I hate Halo 2 or anything..I love it. I just hope Halo 3 will learn from all the bad things in Halo2, and introduce some of the same gameplay Halo had (less auto aim, no melee lunges, better FRGs, different hunters)

the flood should def be creepier. they're meant to be, and unless your face to face with them, they're not that scary looking.

I completley agree with the topic starter.

I want the flood to be scary, gorey and just plain scary.

Yea, we know, well, I know. They probably will fix the problems, and if not, it'll still be sweet.

We all know Halo 2 was cut short for several reasons.

My answer to you would be thus:

Halo 2 would have gotten darker had the plot developed to the point the Bungie team had at first envisaged. As it is, the darker elements have had to wait...... until now :-)

Think of it... without the flood there would be no halos! and there still might have been forerunners around

Even going back and playing Halo 1 earlier this week, I found the Flood more scary/intimidating. "Yeaarg! Keep away you monsters!"

In Halo 2 I just pump them full of ammo and/or slice them to bits. They're not scary at all anymore, and they're too easy to kill as well.

THe flood in halo 2 were pathetic

They need new flood and make a whole lot more like Halo 1
Plus lets see the forerunners bring out some new enemies the sentenials are kind of getting old

Heh, I just got the halo graphic novel myself and the flood in the first story in it were pretty freaky looking. I would definatly crap myself if I saw some of those things comming at me in halo 3.

In Halo:CE the flood were vicious..... They took out Banshees on Legendary, so i let them fight for me.... I want to see a Flood grunt warrior. Now!!
Flood Grunts+Jackals = Carrier Forms.

i totally agree. the flood gives me the creeps big time. i love it how everything is all broken and bloodied wherever the flood has been. and the creepy little sounds that give you clues that the flood is on its way. make it even worse bungie! make it next years best horror flick!

I think the Juggernaut should either be a Drinol, or a form of mixed Elites+Marines going for less smarts, but more power than the "Brain Forms" do.

I also agree with what a few people have said. In Halo CE the flood were Scary and dangerous but in Halo 2 they.....well....they just sucked :P . I think in Halo 3 they need to be vastly improved, they arnt called the flood for no reason. They should always be swarms, everytime you face the flood you should be outnumbered. Oh and they should have deadly melee attacks :)

  • 07.23.2006 3:31 PM PDT

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

I agree with post starter, I mean I like the halo CE as well as the halo 2 ones, though I think it was a bit funny killing the halo 1 flood, just because they fough more at range, and less running straight at you and shooting...

Plus with the adition of the AR, I cant wait till Im backing up against a wall, hundreds of combat forms rushing towards me, just pumping them with the Assault rifle, spent shells flying out of the side of my gun, **throws frag grenade**, reloading, but halfway through reloading you realise there to close and wip out your shot-gun, and just start mowing them down....oooo.

Yea they should be more scary...

I thought the Halo 2 Flood melee's were more powerful. In my experience.

Well, the flood in Halo 1 were much more menacing. Why? Well, because they actually shot at you, jumped a farther distance, and flooded you with thier bodies and types. It was actually the Flood doing what their names describe. Instead, in Halo 2, you got about 5-6 at a time, where in halo it could be from 3-50 at a time.

Im not saying there werent alot of flood in Halo 2, there were more flood levels than not, im just saying they never came at you in more than 5-6 flood at a time waves. It just wasnt the same.

In Halo 3, it should be much more like the library and Maw when you encounter the flood. Actually, scratche the library. Anyone remember the level Keyes? That was alot of flood.

Also, the Carrier forms don't seem too cool in Halo 2..they seemed more...alive..in Halo.


It looks like they have a stick up their asses in Halo 2 =/
