Mabey I'm one to think differnet
But Technically the Flood can only take over the bodies of all sentient life. The Necromorphs can only take over humans, however the forms of necromorohs range in size of a baby to a segmented worm monster thats over 3 Kilometers long and took 20 years to form. The Gravemind in contrast can be killed and then re-established so long as the the flood has a surplus of bodies to throw into a new grave mind. the necromorphs changed the basic environment in less than 20 days by themselves. the flood can do that in 3-6 days. It's difficult to say would win. the Flood has advantages in the halo universe the the necromorphs don't. the same can be said about the necromorphs. If the two WERE to clash. I'd say they'd combine forces and forms. think about that!? The Hardy nature and versatility of the necromorphs with the strength and intellect of the flood. They would be UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!!
Thanks for hearin me out!!!

says its on easy mode it takes 1 hit to kill the flood and literally they fall to peices while the necromorphs it takes 10? 15? not to mention the necromorphs can block and while your stunned from the block attack u so i go with the necromorphs
Originally posted by BalorC23so you admit to being bias? Listen, the flood take this. Reproduction rate is one of the most important concepts of this fight. They're parasites. Flood are SIGNIFICANTLY physically more powerful (being on par with Master Chief is a HUGE feat considering everything he's done in the games and novels), they reproduce more efficiently, use every bit of Bio matter, regardless of your beliefs, and are intelligent. As if their physical superiority wasn't enough, now they can use weapons. They have every advantage, and yet people still want to argue necromorphs. This baffles me.
I stick with the Necromorphs no matter their reproductive rate. And while I think the Master Chief is one of the most kick ass characters made I think I would still have more trouble fighting the Necromorphs as him then I ever did as the Flood with him.
Originally posted by XanatosForeverwrong. Humans couldn't control the trajectory of plasma like the Covenant could. We has plasma today, and Halo is years in the future. To say they don't have plasma technology is ignorant. Read Reach. It's said by the good doctor (can't remember where) that the covenant could make use of plasma weaponry more effectively. Nowhere have I read in any of the novels did it say it was new technology to the humans.
I know he's talking about the Forerunners. I'm talking about humanity in the Dead Space fiction. With things like plasma based construction/medical tools that could also function as effective weapons in a crisis, time/space manipulation devices, and massive ships capable of breaking down entire celestial bodies to harvest minerals, I would hardly call humans in Dead Space low-tech. Humans in the Halo fiction hadn't even discovered plasma based technology until they met the Covenant, and were still mostly utilizing the same solid kinetic force of projectile weapons that's been part of human history for hundreds, or by their time line thousands, of years.That's not to say Dead Space humanity can compare to Forerunner or even Covenant in terms of tech, but they're arguably the more advanced, at least compared to humanity in Halo, and with no hyper-advanced extraterrestrial civilizations in Dead Space, it's rather hard to put a decent comparison to how devastating the necromorph parasite can be.
Edit: using phone so hard to see everything I type with effectively.
The Necromorphs only mode of infection is a frail, dog sized bat which relies on thin flaps of skin both for transportation and its infection process. the flood infection forms are smaller and faster, there are much much more of them per group of flood than there are bats. they are just as frail but they can infect more quickly and their feelers are sharper than the necrobat proboscis. all that considered, the flood also have airborne spores.
also, the flood controlled vast fleets of interstellar warships, and the necromorphs couldn't even figure out how to get to the control room of the ishimura, let alone pilot it. the gravemind preformed an trans-galactic in atmosphere splispace jump, a precise application of the technology that even it's creators couldn't grasp.

I'm sorry, but I have to correct this. The necromorph infection is not solely reliant on the vagina bats...er, I mean Infectors...to create new necromorphs. It's certainly the most direct method and fastest, but simply being within the the Corruption will eventually lead to transformation, albeit at a significantly slower rate. The Corruption holds all the capabilities of spawning necromorphs, but without dead human tissue it can't mutate Slashers.
