The Flood are an awsome part of the Halo story, but do you think they would work as a character model for Multiplayer? Elite Flood can use sheild generators, and maybe they would even make a Spartan Flood for us to use!

I think a Zombie-style gametype, would be great with Flood.

They would not. I would like to play as them, on a level such as Backwash, and ambush people from trees and kill them, as gruesome as it sounds. However, they do not have eyes and die to quickly. The eyes they do have are inoperable. Both would be from odd angles, if they did work. The Human Flood would be tilted, and the Elite Flood's head is facing backwards.

All in all, I vote "Yes, I would like them", although it would not work out.

They have their reasons.

Not good reasons, but reasons nevertheless.

I think an infected Spartan would be a great character. The Spartans armor could show the team color while tentacles burst from the cracks. It would be a startling appearance, seeing a Spartan consumed by those parasites.

It wouldn't work out. Since the flood combat forms are weak and don't have shield generators they would thus be worse then the Spartans or the Elites.

See my above post. Or, you could play as an Elite combat form. We saw that they could use sheild generators.

HECK YEAH
that would be cool to have a gametype that was based on the hit mp game ZOMBIES
so that like if you were killed by a flood (aka zombie ) you would become one on your next life and also you would be randomly selected for zombianship...ness

Imagine doing it on Backwash, when you're the only player left and you have these Flood forms all after you. Imagine if there was a Juggernaught (Australian way of spelling it) after you.

Do you think that Bungie would put that in? I mean, it seems like a great idea. It would work great with some night-time levels. (if those get put in Halo 3...)

Lol, well what about a Heretic Elite? They are balanced, and look awsome!

I'd love to wrap my tentacle around the flag, rush from the enemies base... and get sprayed by gunfire from a hostile hog. All that would remain is a a chunky green paste, assuming that the Flood's corpses still fall apart.

Hah, I suppose we can compromise. But I would still like the Flood. Imagine the artistic oppertunities!

no, ive played a mod where you played flood, it wasnt very good, you jumped so high it was retarded, like jumping from the bottom to the second level of a base in sidewinder, (it was probably cause it was h1 flood tags) but you couldnt drive vehicles (definitely h1 flood tags) and there was always flaky dead skin falling off infront of your screen, it was annoying, and retarded

Maybe you could have A.I controlled flood where you destroy as many as you can in a set time limit or before you die? Playing as the flood wouldn't be that bad if you outnumbered the enemy or you could maybe even play as infection forms or carrier forms.
