They'll be smarter but there strength depends on what difficulty level you've set the game at.

I dont think there will be flood in Halo 2, unless they are realeased again on the new ring you visit, I know the grunts will be stronger (I read it somewhere on the site), the "popcorn things" are -blam!-s and should killed with a blow drier or something, and the "fat guys", you throw a rock at them and they blow up anyways, the flood suck and shouldnt be back in halo 2!

Oh. I knew that they were going to be much smarter. Like in the first halo I was on AoTCR and I had a banshee on that ice bridge part and a Elite jumped out of my may but off the bridge to his doom. Tha was stupid. So they are not going to be stronger?

Also have you noticed the size of jackals, they look like they would be tall as a marine if they were standing up straight.

Well since the are smarter, i bet they will be stronger to some extent. We know the Elites are equal to the Spartans in MP after all.

Remember that is MP, Elites have nothing to do with the way they are in SP. They're just equal to Spartans to balance the game. All Elites in MP are, is a Spartan with different skin. They might have a few minor differences though since I didn't get to play the game at E3. Though things are most likely to change.

i was more creeped out by the anticapation than the actual flood...though i resently noticed a bit more detail on the human flood wariors (you can see the're ribs) so i can imagin they will look creepier in halo2...shivers.

Halo2 enemies may be tougher, will be smarter, and actually have armor that repels (sometimes particular) weapons fire, but I don't think all that together will let them keep pace with us after being thoroughly LAN hardened from Halo:CE

Just look at the E3 trailer. They looked a lot tougher. Imagine Legendary...and shudder with fear. The Marine AI is better too. Imagine Bungie working the kinks out. It leaves a warm fealing in my pants, since I just pissed myself...
I don't know if the flood will be back, but if they are, it will be scary. The Flood had a tactic. It lives up to their name. They Flood the area and rip everything apart! They are fast and deadly. In Halo they'd tear a Covenant patrol to pieces in seconds! Sacry.
Now all they have to do is find and destroy the other Halo's before anyone else abuses the power to wipe out the Universe... Which means the Flood might be released again. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

White elites sound strong...grunts are already as strong as it is dammit. on legendary they can take a sniper bullet sometimes! They take long to kill, possibly as long as an elite (fully charged plasma pistol+some shots=ownage however grunts take many shots just about as much as elites, if not more)
jackals were annoying as hell, but I seen in the video that the new battle rifle can knock out their shields...yay! So I guess they're weaker...
And wtf who says flood was easy! They are not easy. Once you see all those floods pop out with a shotgun and assault rifles, your done for! They can possibly kill you in one shot with shotgun, and melee hurts like 70% of your shield!

since the AI is being beefed by Bunige, the enemies will indeed be harder to kill. But as for their strengths and powers, I think it might be a bit better if they dont do anything too different for ppl like the grunts.

BTW, jackals shields can be taken down by just one punch in Halo. so u dont have to wait until Halo 2 comes out to take jackals with the battle rifle butt

Yeah, the Flood is dumb. They will still rip MC or Covenant apart..
I remember Well Enough Alone, and saying to myself "What the -blam!-! Whats killing everything?" and then the first drone came at me and I screamed battle crys. I remember the chill and the dread anticipation in the Library. I remember screaming in rage when my plasma weapons didn't do -blam!-. I remember the shotgun is salvation..and the pistol is redemption. Only weapons I use, even against the Covenant now...save for the occasional Plasma Rifle or Sniper Riffle...
