more like 343

For an unstoppable "flood" of little scurrying shits that steal bodies and tech, they kinda do fuckall to shields.

You'd think the forerunners would work on getting really good shield technology, on a cosmic scale, instead of creating a set of doom bomb planets, on a cosmic scale.

>>263297836
Elites, and masterchief, have shields that pop after taking a few dozen infection forms.

The issue isn't that, the issue is the forerunner race focusing their efforts and technology into building a set of universe exploding bombs, instead of perfecting the shield technologies that clearly fucked up the flood so easily without requiring any effort.

>>263297318
Microsoft created 343. 343's just the meat puppets dancing on Microshit's strings.

Don't blame the soldiers, blame the leaders.

Starvation.

I'd guess a plant like lifeform would be able to beat the flood. No nervous system to take over, relatively little biomass if infected, non/semi mobile. Plus, plants are really good at adapting defensive abilities.

The flood is a single plague, and can create environments where other forms of rot and decay can thrive. Nurgle is ALL OF THE PLAGUES, if he can't control the flood through being fucking nurgle or through warp interference with the gaymind, nurgle can literally just turn the flood's ideal environments against them.

Considering these things could wipe out a species that was basically flying liquid, infecting a metroid would be impossible.

two things:

1: possession by ing is different than infection by flood

2: those were the weak ass Tallon IV metroids. I'm talking the SR-388 metroids that even the space pirates new better than to fuck with. and we all knew they had vapor for brains.

>>263296446

>>263297137
I dont think Grunts can be infected. The Flood needs a host body that has a nerve system and enough calsium to support the infection form. This is why creatures like Lekgolo cant be infected.

Yes. The rings.

That was easy.

>>263312674

Also any healer in a fantasy game with a cure disease spell.

Also anyone smart enough to give the people fighting low level poisons and drugs.

Also any species that actually functions in the real world "Accelerates Evolution" my ass. Where does that genetic information come from? The same place the Hulks extra mass?

Pretty much every faction in Halo has defeated them.

The Flash can run fast. How fast? He can run so fast he can appear everywhere in your field of vision. And I'm not just talking illusions; he can accelerate so fast that the seconds it takes for him to be there and not be there simply do not happen. He's always there. I'm not just talking about Earth either. He can appear in every conceivable point in the universe instantly if he so chooses. No ground you say? Fuck ground. He's running on Speed Force. If there's a direction, orientation, angle or spot in the universe not occupied, the Flash he can be there.
But we're not done. Moving so fast Flash gains another ability called the Infinite Mass Punch. I won't blow your brains with science, but once something accelerates past the speed of light it gains infinite mass. So now we've got infinite Flashes, all with Infinite Mass Punches wound up. You cannot block infinite mass, it would crush reality.
But we're not done. The Flash can also traverse time and dimensions (see CoTE), so now he's gone to every possible conceivable point not just in physical existence, but in the 4th dimension such that he is at every conceivable yoctosecond you ever existed. In every single dimension, everywhere, all at once with Infinite Mass Punches.
But we're not done. Just to make sure he lands every hit, all those Flashes can slow down your speed to the point you cannot move a single electron. You weren't fast enough before, but now you can't even think to dodge.
Now you're done. There is no defense in any universe that could stop this. It's absolute bullshit at its finest. And it is completely possible for him. Infinite everything, what are you even going to do? You're gonna stand there and stop existing. The first punch completely erases you from existence.
Never make another power level thread for the rest of your life. The answer is: The Flash.

In reality they wouldn't harm most intelligent alien life since they wouldn't be using their biological bodies.

They can get infected just fine, and they get turned into carrier forms. Elites, Brutes, and Humans are good for making combat forms.

And the reason the Hunters aren't able to be taken over is because they're a colony of worms in a big suit of armor

Comic book characters are never consistent in their powers and thus shouldn't be included in power level discussions.

Pretty much every race manages to counter the flood once they get set up. It's just hard to do. You see the problem is they are very infectious and in most cases it's the initial scare effect. That being said they almost always get a good infection going.

>>263296446
Lots of things can defeat the flood, lots of things can't. The problem is that in each game's universe there would have to be some kind of introduction and a planned final for the flood.

Technically speaking just about any video game character could probably beat the flood if it was introduced via the proper methods.

RE: A meteorite lands on the planet, Umbrella operatives try to examine it and the scientists become flood, quarantine happens and your guys go in to get the research materials. Finale is a thermonuclear explosion to sterilize the plant.

DMC: Flood gets summoned through random demonic portals, Dante has to kill them all and break the demonic entity that summoned them, which will cause all of the flood particles and entities to get pulled back into their original location in space.

Etc. Anything else is just a fanwank of "MY POWERFUL RACE COULD BEAT YOUR POWERFUL CHARACTER!!!!"

>>263296446

Halo fanbase is filled with butthurt idiots, but not autists.

>>263323782

Halo was a 'Fuck yeah, Humanity!' story. It was about humans nearly being wiped out and through determination and the will to survive humanity survived barely and in a final ditch effort won a war that seemed impossible to win.

Then 343i turned John's luck in to a superpower and the UNSC is somehow more powerful than it was in the war.

The problem with Halo fanbase is that they eat up everything that Bungie/343I says is canon, even thought the whole thing might be retarded. That, and that they are possibly the most butthurt fanbase there can be. One visit to Waypoint forums proves these 2 things.

>>263324308
But is being able to escape fights a bad thing? You could never really get away from a close quarters battle in previous Halos. And its not as if everyone playing the game can just sanic out the door when their shields drop - by the time they try to run, its usually to late.

And can you explain why having larger maps is bad? I understand that bigger =/= better, but if they're designed with sprinting in mind, is there really a problem

>>263296446

I dug the armor abilities in Reach, I wouldn't mind keeping sprint as one of them. It was pretty cool and added a lot of depth to the gameplay. In terms of multiplayer, Reach was by far the best.

Sprint should not be anything more though

If a Spartans armor costs as much as a warship why does he still die in one shot?

>>263325646
If you died in Halo, it was most likely your own fault. By having sprint, you can now avoid death by running away, thus causing a better player than you to lose a deserved kill.

As for bigger maps? Well, Halo hasn't really been a game filled with large maps, since 4v4 has been the most popular gametype in all Halo games, and vehicles are pretty much forgotten in BTB because of sprint.

"As the 41st Millennium drew to a close in 999.M41 during what many pessimistic Imperial historians have begun to call the Imperium of Man's Time of Ending, the Adepts of the Adeptus Mechanicus discovered to their horror that the Golden Throne's mechanisms were slowly failing and that they lacked the knowledge to repair its arcane technology. Unless something is done, the Golden Throne's life support systems will eventually malfunction and the Emperor of Mankind will die, surrendering his spirit to the Warp and throwing all of Mankind into darkness once more -- or setting the stage for humanity's final salvation."

Unfair, but true. The flood wouldnt even register to any of the playable races in 40k. Even the tau would just squish them as an afterthought.

>>263332573
but spores are pretty much immortal

Your in a middle of a genocidal war that you are losing and it's impossible for you to capture and study one of the things. Killing everything not them and putting your safe in statics is the best thing to do

the imperium of man would exterminatus anything they touched.

They have to stop while they're ahead, or they'll either turn 40k into 'space bugs vs green guys' or pull some ridiculous bullshit to keep the other races alive

what if they touched Terra?

Joe Staten, Lead Writer of Halo 2. He's more of a loss to Bungie than Marty IMO.

Flood spores still are not capable of infecting people like Infection forms.

No, no, you are immesurable resources to construct device that kills everything besides the fucking thing that threatens you. That's beyond fucking logic and it's there only because otherwise Halo wouldn't have a plot, just like Mass Effect..

Then it would be flooded with every elite troop physically possible to stop/contain the threat.

Emprah would wipe it with a single thought.

Highly unlikely, as even the Necrons can't get close to the place.

In the extremely unlikely event that they do, though...

Again how can you make a giant pulse device that kills the target you know nothing about? Can't capture and study it so you have nothing to go by

But what if they make it to the golden throne

How do you know he will object? Look at his current position, anything is better then that.

What if he wants to get infected and then take over the flood through his infection. Thus becoming the gravemind that leads the flood

>>263332690
That's not how you do crossovers. A single space marine would try to climb some stairs despite warnings from his comrades, only to get trapped next to a Flood thing that would then take him over

>>263334130
make pulse bombs and drop them on the fuckers
see if they work
if not, change them
rinse and repeat
would still cost less time and resources than halo rings
