The Flood were defeated by a guy in iPod power armour armed with a space M4.
Incidentally, the Forerunners were also defeated by a guy in iPod power armour armed with a space M4.
The Flood are weak shit. The Forerunners are/were weak shit. Get the fuck out.
>Incidentally, the Forerunners were also defeated by a guy in iPod power armour armed with a space M4.
Wat?
Please note that the flood were contained on the Halo Rings and massively smaller i nscale than they were during the Forerunner's times. Also Masterchief killed like one Forerunner.
>Even with basic Human/Covenant weaponry the Flood could probably fight The Thing, but holy shit if they got even a little Forerunner or Precursor gear it's a bad day fo the Thing.
Piss off. If The Thing can make a goddamn anti-grav saucer in a couple hours with some ductape and soldering iron, think about what The Thing could do with Forerunner tech.
Oh wait, not that much, seeing how shitty Forerunner tech is. Can't even beat a slightly genetically modified guy armed with 5-minutes-in-the-future weapons and armour.
...
the flood need a central nervous system. The Nids can quickly fix that problem with bio engineering on the fly. They could also just start a slow process of digesting the planet from orbit.
Excuses from Bungie "I've lost control of my franchise" Studios to save their horrid storytelling.
Goddamn I hate how the post Combat Evolved games ruined such effective and efficient story telling.
>They haven't read the thread
Just stop. Forerunner-Era Flood are not the same as 'Modern' Flood, and Chief has never even fought proper Forerunners.
2, 3, and even Reach were great desu.
Feck off.
