The Flood (Halo) vs. The Necromorphs (Dead Space)

Started by RazRaptre8 pages

Some people are saying that the necromorphs couldnt show off their real power because they didnt escape off the Ishimura. Heres the thing, the Flood escaped from the control of a species a million times more advanced than humanity (talkin about the humans in dead space). The Necromorphs cant even escape from a human controlled ship (even though there are virtually NO humans onboard). The necromorphs infect only complete beings. The flood can infect anything, from rotting skin to a dinosaur. Also, I bet that simply nuking the Ishimura would be enough to kill off the necromorphs. THE FORERUNNERS HAD TO BLOW UP ENTIRE STAR SYSTEMS SIMPLY TO SLOW DOWN THE FLOOD. Even that wasnt enough to stop them, so they eradicated all life in the galaxy, depriving the Flood of their 'food'. Even then the flood wasnt destroyed. They simply hibernated.

That's stupid, of course the necromorphs could (and did) escape the Ishimura. Hell, if you really want to get into it, you don't even need to have a corrupted environment to spawn necromorphs, since their base is written into every Marker that's brought into existence. Throw a Marker into a clean environment and guaranteed shit will go bad eventually.

Also, just because the word necro is somewhere in the title doesn't mean this needs to keep coming back to life. What was originally thought to possibly be a decent match-up was realized as a spite thread, so there's seriously no reason to continue any debate. I'm reporting this to the mods so they can just close it.

Flood can use any weapon from the halo serious. that includes spartan lasers (maybe....idk). soooooo....yeah I say the flood. plasma weapons would burn right through though those damn necro's.

Ok so ive seen the arguement here that the Flood (kinda) beat the Forerunners, the most advanced race ever, so obviously they can beat the Necromorphs. Keep in mind that this was at the peak of the Floods power, they had numerous Graveminds, an army spaning the entire galaxy, and not to mention access to Forerunner knowledge and Weaponry. When the Halo nearly wipped them from the universe (save for those kept in research sites), this knowledge was lost. Now they only have one gravemind, and accumulated covenant and human knowledge. No where near as powerful as they once were, but still a nigh--unstopable beast. But then we have the necromorphs, and more specificly, creatures like the Tormentors, advanced brutes, and ubermorphs, things that can take an unbelieveable beating and keept coming at you. Not only would it be hard for any flood to even damage any of their weak spots, but they also have to deal with the sheer brute strength, and near invinciblity. You saw what that tormentor took, bullets from a gunship that shredded a shuttle in 3 seconds bounce right off it. You saw the ubermoorph, short of a mininuke wont kill it. You saw the advanced brute, that thing would tear you apart if you didnt have stasis. Ive seen a tank, a smack to the face with an energy sword takes it down easy. Plus with all the mutations Necromorphs go through, their spines are most likely something else, such as bone sycths or fingers, i doubt the Floods ability to infect them, while the Necromorphs, on the other hand, seeing as the flood are basicly dead aliens, could infect them and make a truely horrifying beast. Necromorphs win, not hands down, no, maybe even by the skin of their teeth, but a wins a win.

You know, the fact that this thread continues to implacably shamble on and seems incapable of dying sort of fits the theme of the two armies here.

there is only THE gravemind. all graveminds have knowledge from previous ones regardless of their present state so the flood will hve the knowledge of all wars fought,all soldiers consumed and military tactics and strategy

I can tell you're a newbie here on the internet so here's some advice: quit feeding the troll unless you want the attention. Also, no one will care if you ignore. If you do, you'll be labeled a sourpuss just like one of the other members on here.

This is actually a close call. In infectious terms. If you read the books, which are more realistic than the games the halo forms take longer than 2 second to transform and the necros still take the same. The flood infect the human and grab control of the system then infects, some humans are "dis-tasteful" and the flood wouldn't take them over, first example Sgt. Johnson. The necros starts as a pink film that goes into the body, grows and the takes control in matter of seconds, but the marker stop the infection, winner necros, barely, for no immunity. Attacks. The necros attack by slashing at the enemy, charging, throwing ripping apart and a slasher will actually infect others by bite. Flood charges, swings, shoots, rams. Flood win but only if the find the way to kil the necro fast enough. Defense, the necro doesn't die without losing large masses of body tissue, in time it doesn't actually die but shuts down and if another slasher come over it can form a larger necro. Flood controlled by a spore in the chest, if hit hard enough the spore will pop and shutdown the host until another spore comes by, at which time the necro would have bitten the flood infecting it. Close one may not have a clear winner. Breeds. Necros infect every living thing while the flood only infect large semi-intelligent. the necros will be able to create more and new necros with already dead ones, including the spider that isn't in the games. While the flood take long amounts of time to evolve, yes read the books its not 2 seconds. based on games the flood would win, but indef the necros have a chance of winning. Anyone who says stuff about the foreunners being wiped out and the flood surviving and how the necros didn't do anything is plain retarded, firstly the flood survived because there where sub-spore samples on each installation, ring, and Guilty Spark installation 4's manager released some because he grew bored. The necros didn't do anything because they were stuck on the ship, and the whole flood knows how to pilot ships and the know what they consume stuff is stupid because if you played the first halo that bubble that you find captain Keyes in, is what needs to be done to learn from the host, which takes time depending on how resilient the host is, plus in Halo 4 and the books the librarian even says the Flood only consumes LIVING tissue. so in the end the winner is close and my hand goes on the necromorph becasue all the needs to happen is that the flood need to get a small amount of the necromorph bacteria inside of it to turn into one, if the spore is inside one the necros would grow an immunity to it because it knows how it function and is no longer a foreign matter.

Necromorph Types:
Slasher: Standard necromorph. Walks around on two legs, with big blade arms growing out of its back/human arms.

Lurker: The baby enemy that grows tentacles and shoots little missile things at you. Likes to stand on walls.

Tripod: The huge enemy you fight early on- the first boss, if you will. Body appears to be made out of many corpses put together. Has two arms and an elonganated torso, no legs. When you blow off one arm, it attacks you with its tongue, which appears to have a baby fused into the middle of it (it's a weak point).

Cyst: Little sack of flesh stuck to the wall/ceiling. When you get too close, it launches a little explosive pod into the air, which you can catch with telekinesis and throw at other enemies.

Puker: Tall enemy, no jaw. Looks kind of like a Slasher sans slashing parts (no arm blades). It vomits projectiles that slow you down at long range, and if you get close it vomits a continuous stream at you. No fun at all.

Lurker: These guys almost always come in two or more, and seem to be based off the raptors in Jurassic Park. They hide behind obstacles in the environment, shout and click at each other, then scream and run straight at you. You'll occasionally see one with one or both legs blown off, and they'll crawl at you alarmingly quickly with their three-clawed hands.

Pack: These look like they used to be toddlers, and they come in huge numbers. They drop in one hit, but there's always more behind the one you dropped. They just scream and charge you head-on, like the lurkers, but dumber.

Guardian: This dude is fused onto the wall, with his abdomen ripped open. Tentacles come out of his gaping torso wound and attach to the wall around him (...why?), and if you get too close, one will rip off your head. He moans and groans and sounds like he's generally not feeling too great, and occasionally sends out teeny tiny pods that grow a single tentacle that shoot missiles at you (kind of like a stationary lurker).

Crawler: This is another baby necromorph, but this one has an inflamed, yellow body. If it gets too close, it explodes. Yay.

Brute: This dude looks like a big gorilla. He walks around mostly on his two huge, bulky front arms, and has two little wussy-looking legs behind him. He rushes at you and knocks you flying pretty well, but if you blow off one of his arms, he opens up his vajayjay and launches explosive pods at you (PROTIP: Catch 'em with telekinesis and throw 'em back at him!)

Enemies I don't know the name of:
The slasher/puker hybrid enemy
The enemy that is just the top half of a dude, runs around on its hands on the walls/floor and hits you with its tail (Leaper? Scorpion?)
The dude with the explosive flesh sack on its arm
The manta ray thing that turns corpses into necromorphs
The giant flesh sack you fight in zero-G rooms. It opens up and has three big nasty yellow arms and launches little barbed flesh-squids at you
The big fat thing that slices itself open and lets out a bunch of creepy-crawlies
The creepy-crawlies mentioned above
The tall, lanky dude that turns into a bunch of little baby tentacle monsters when you kill it
The little baby tentacle monsters mentioned above
(that's not all)
Then there's the 15 + NEW shit added in Dead Space 3, so i'd put my money on the Necromorphs if i were you.

let's see how things turn up..

And let's not forget the Brethren Moons now, eh?
