Yeah, but if you took notice at the end of Halo 2, Gravemind took the liberty of making High Charity a nice little nesting place for the flood. You know, i've never really understood gravemind...is he like the first, original flood thing? cause it sure seemed like he looked like a flood....anyway, i figure gravemind will find some way to get High Charity into slipspace and into earth....jeez, thats just one more freaken problem to deal with....oh well

And i guess in addition to that, we really don't know what kind of things are on that Forerunner ship that Truth has taken to earth....afterall, one or two little infection forms could have sneaken onto that thing before they took off. Ha, how bad would that be if a Brute got infected with a flood? jeez, that'd be freaken chaos....as if they aren't hard enough now, put them in flood mode and it'll be destruction galore...

If the Flood are in Halo 3, then life is over because that would mean the flood were on Earth and everyone will die.

i would like to see the flood become scarier as well but i would like to see them be bloody and have some bullet hole in them or somthing like that because it would be a good touch towards making them look more deadly and unbeatable making few people want to fight them and making them have a scarier and more controlling look to them!!!

Yeah whoever was wondering how the flood were coming to earth is from the info cortana gives him and the gravemind comes to earth...One of the missions like many ppl have said before me, is going to be to save cortana from that ship once it crashes to earth...Thats why you dont see the flood in the trailer and was very sneeky on bungies part. You see how the MC was in the desert? The flood cant survive on dry weather and if you notice are only seen where hosts live or in damp areas where humidiation is present.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Exactly, Halo 2's floods were ghey. Please make them more accurate. Even on legendary they keep missing shots.

I hope the flood are much more deadlier, scary, and twice as ugly. Fighting the flood in both halos was my favorite part of the game because of the challenge. Especially on legendary.If they get on earth though, humanity's future really doesnt look too good. and the masterchief might have to activate the ark and use it against the flood like the forerunners did before him

I think that the Flood need to be tougher and more scary. Think of their name. If you see a wall of water coming right at you, you're going to be scared sh1tless. Also, it's practically unstoppable. The Flood in Halo 1 were almost perfect, they just should've been a bit more on the fast side. In Halo 2 you could put down a Combat form with a single Carbine shot to the head, just kill the body or infection forms that try to revive him. In Halo 1 they took like 4 pistol shots to the head just to put down.

Basically, they need to be more true to their name and then we'll have a winner.

I want a flood juggernaut that doesn't do tons of damage but takes a ton. I want to hear a low sounded pound and some shaking which warns me they are about to come and gets me scared. I also want a lot of them to be peeled and broken off as I shoot it so I can tell I'm doing damage.

Like in Resident Evil 4. There were rejuvinaters or something like that, that when they are near you can hear this creepy breathing sound whichs freaks the crap out of me because they are hard.

I don't think that it's the Flood that are scary, it's the experience they emulate, and the environment.

There were a couple good moments of that in Halo 2, the mission, um, with the Arbiter, you had to get over the Sentinel wall. There was a point where everything was really creepy and dark. That's what makes the Flood.

So I think that the Flood are actually scary, they are powerful in Legendary, or even Heroic, but the areas are pretty well off, but to you guys it seems that we need more of those areas.

Compared to Halo, the human Flood were vicious in Halo 2.

But I agree with what the topic creator said something about an "adrenaline rush" of fighting them or something like that. I think gameplay and enviroment has the most to do with it.

Enviroment-Less repetitive level map layouts make for better fighting experience. Map variation is important. The overall atmosphere and detail of your surroundings go well with the gameplay e.g. a mysterious Forerunner infrastructure with alot of weird devices that leaves you more to wonder than wondering where the next Flood will be at. For instance, if all the lights were removed, leaving a near pitch dark enviroment(not so much as another High Charity-where Flood are sparse)-it would do alot to add to the tense atmosphere(music will do too) not to mention you have to be on your guard never knowing where the enemy is coming from which makes it ideal for the Flood to stalk and ambush you in large numbers. Sometimes they don't always make obvious Flood screeches when sneaking up on you-just subtle moving sounds that leaves you whirl around to see where it is. Of course, the level design will have to accomodate that. I'm imaging you approaching a dim-lit doorway into the heart of darkness. A few steps forward, you hear Flood screeches. As you try to find the source, several Flood forms sprint at you with blinding speed(much faster than Halo or Halo 2) from the darkness ahead. And if you thought the sound came from behind you as well-you're right. Several more dropped out of a shaft right behind you...

Some people still think the Flood were boring to fight in Halo 2. I was thinking, what if, the Flood uses actual combat tactics. Holding two-handed weapons with both hands, throwing grenades, rolling/leaping to the side or another spot for a better position or to avoid a grenade, clinging to higher ground to take pot shots at you, firing from behind cover and ducking back again, more areas where they have artillery and heavy supression guns lying in wait(such as indoor corridors), a horde of Flood hiding waiting for you to come by suspecting nothing as they mob ambush you, surround you from all sides, strafe across, running battles, pursuing you in vehicles, sprinting even faster, leap at you out of nowhere or land right behind you (sometimes making little noise) to pulverize you before you can even react, general all around increased aggressiveness, all that good stuff. Of course, they'll still be those that rush you blindly or charge if you close in.

Reminds me, the Oracle level was a good example of the adrenaline roller coaster. That one room where the Flood attack from all sides and that distant music/sound of the Flood was pretty creepy. I felt like I had to hurry up and kill them, or i'd be dead.

Grunts are cool...

Halo 1 Flood- Funny looking things...kinda reminding me off over-grown koala bears that waddle around and TRY to hit you

Halo 2 Flood- The Koala bears turn nasty...but still look kinda funny.
