The mini flood guys get inside of dead creature and take there bodies over and greatly distort them. The bigger fighting flood are infected forms built to fight. The fat ones release the mini ones. Gravemind is a giant flood that acts like a home to the rest.
you cannot be the flood in halo
THE halo games that have the flood are halo combat evolved,halo 2,halo 3 and halo wars
If you are referring to a flood, they are called carrier forms. My advice when facing these
no the were only on halo rings
halo 1,2,and 3
The Flood of Halo: Combat Evolved is fairly simple to kill. Shotguns and other human weapons are very effective. Infection forms (the lil balloon things) are easy to kill and will die even if steped on. If there is a group in one spot, one shot will kill them all. Flood combat forms can be killed easily with the shotgun, assault rifle and the pistol. Flood carrier forms can be killed with 1 shot from the pistol, because the explode when shot, make sure they are not near you when you kill them.
No.
No, there is no flood in Reach. With the expception of halo wars the flood was not released until halo combat evolved where the humans stumbled across their existence in search of a lost platoons distress beacon.
No. You can never play as the flood.
on the video game Halo, the flood is an ancient parasitic life form that lives inside the halo rings, it was herded and contained there by the forerunners. they can use any type of carbon based life form as their host, and some flood have become pure enough to stand on their own. the flood have no separate thoughts, only a collective entity called a gravemind. there are many of these scattered across the universe, and I think they are all inside halo rings. the halo rings are there to control the flood from spreading and infecting everything, and as a last resort, the ring can detonate with enough force to kill all life forms in a galaxy, as a way to control the flood. i hope that was the answer you were looking for! ":-) The Flood is not exclusive to Halo rings. They are also found on other Forerunner worlds that have yet to be found..
the flood is a virus which takes over dead bodies
No.
