Tactical my ass. The Flood in H3 were lame. I admit though, the Flood in H2 did seem tactical, but I think it's mostly due to their ability to use vehicles. Otherwise, they're just more aggressive and durable H3 Flood with some CE Flood properties. I concur though, that CE Flood were the best. I mean, you could shoot them anywhere and they would fall yet there would be huge numbers of them. Oh and they could get up after they had been "killed". Meleeing them also felt good because they were responsive. In H3, meleeing Flood just pushes them back if not breaking them. In H2 and H3, I wasn't happy about having to shoot at weak points ("head", limbs) to kill them. If I shot them anywhere else, I felt like I wasn't doing any damage at all. Unresponsive enemies are very dissatisfying. CE Flood were pretty good with their senses. I've tried hiding underneath a Banshee (you just got to position it right and crouch) at that 2nd chasm on Two Betrayals. Didn't work. I got pwned every time. CE Flood were also more entertaining to manipulate. I once stuck a combat form, showed myself then hid and it ran towards it's buddies. xD And let's not forget how Flood buddies were actually useful. H3 Flood buddies just get in the way. In CE, Flood buddies could be used to delay checkpoints. The only good thing introduced in H3 was that Flood infection forms can raise dead bodies of Covenant and UNSC troops. Sadly, there's a limit to how many bodies they can raise. Once there's enough, they just back off, letting the combat forms fight. The Flood have been dumbed down too much and are the predecessors of Reach AI, lacking responsiveness.

Just meeting the Flood for the first time was heart dropping and exciting when your only in 6th grade. [quote]Also I didn't like the fact that the Flood bodies in H2/3 did't fly around from grenades..... instead they just popped :([/quote] I feel the opposite.[/quote]Their gurgles were legendary. I hate the new screeching noises. It's just [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZlY2gcWHyg]annoying[/url]. Well I hated when their bodies crumbled. It meant Flood limbs all over the place, cluttering up locations and obscuring dropped weapons and equipment. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ajw34307 I did like the Flood in CE, every time one charged at you if you didn't have a shotgun/plasma rifle/pistol you'd just scream "OH SHIIIIII-" before experiencing a death of painful proportions.[/quote]I did that every time too (then again, I also do that when I'm being chased by Goldies, Hunters, berserking Elites, and even Grunts. :P Enemies that dare to chase deserve commendation!).
