I know. If you haven't seen them use a host then chances are they can't use a flood. Isn't Gravemind like the head flood guy?
I didn't mean the flood. I meant if they can use the elites or a pred as well. Or do they just get the normal human drones you see in the movies?
If the flood infection forms can't infest the Aliens, they can just amass by the hundreds and swarm each individual alien warrior.
And I have little doubt that an army of flood, armed with stolen vehicles and guns, will defeat an army of aliens.
But if the Flood were forced to fight without stolen material, then they'd likely take out each other.

How do you think the aliens fight? They swarm and swarm and send waves and waves after one person if need be.
They both take each other out by the thousands but I give it to the Aliens who have the speed advantage so they can do a lot more damage before going down.

Depending on the environment that the battle takes place in, Gravemind would probably pour Flood in by either the hundreds or the thousands. The lives of one matter far less to the Flood than the aliens, because there's a lot more where they came from.
Or, if the Flood got their stolen weapons, they'd just charge the alien frontline with a rank of carrier forms, give them a volley of rockets, while the combat forums hold their position and bullethose the rest until the aliens came into melee distance. Then whip out shotguns and energy swords.

Travelling speed doesn't really do much for the aliens, as they're pretty much melee-based.
And judging from the speed that they attack in the movies, it's pretty similar to the Flood combat form's melee anyway.
How fast are the flood anyway? i was under the impression that the infected human forms were like zombies?I seen videos of the little ones and they seem pretty fast. Sorry if i'm wrong haven't played halo and most of the information I know came from Message boards.
i heard about those grenade ones. i guess they can always just try to spit acid at it from afar until it explodes. Or avoid it LOL.
Anyway this match would most probably take place near the Aliens nest.
Since I can't see it happening any other way. The Flood infected forms aren't really alive and I doubt a face hugger can infect the normal little versions unless they have a mouth opening and are alive in some way. There not right?.
Since they would be no use to them as host the only other way they would fight is if the flood threatened their nest . In that case the queen would order them to fight to the death at to protect the eggs.
Unless this is like open field like battle. Were they both face each other like it were a battle out of The lord of the rings.
So to the topic creator which is it?
