hey c'mon, have none of you realized? The Flood survived a super weapon that kills EVERY OTHER FORM OF LIFE IN THE GALAXY, INCLUDING MICROSCOPIC ORGANISMS. And yes, it takes a few gutter stomps in the right spot to kill a necromorph, but have you ever tried beating a Flood to death on Legendary in Halo 2? 100 hits at least. Plus, the flood commandeer vehicles. The Gravemind gains the knowledge of any it consumes. The flood repair and pilot interstellar starships. I seem to remember a certain one necromorph blundering into the bridge of the Ishimura and not even realising that the escape pods could fly and lead it to other colonies. About seven escape shuttles, and not a single thought crossed the necrohivemind's mind about using them?
Flood win, necromorphs end up just another host for an infection form, gravemind learns how to planet crack and use another starship.

but, imagine an infection form (flood crab/octopus thing) climbing into the Hunter's chest and taking control of it's nervous system...
plus that hunter was like Hidan in Naruto: invincible, but dumb as ****.

but dude... energy swords. Plus the flood have their own malformed hands, and infection forms have feelers capable of tearing apart an elite's armor.

The Flood would take this as it's stated in one of the novels that the Flood can takeover any organism with an intact spinal cord. It is my belief necromophs still have spines.

Like his name suggests, he's quite atomic

Two energy swords make up his symbol
And trust me, dawg, this homie's nimble
1 turn people dead or alive in zombies .... by changing their molecules ,
DNA , genes and stuff...
as it is said on ther official sites. so if a flood tried to take over a necro morph it would basicly absorbe it . and it would take over an flood infected body cuz it would mearly change the DNA code of flood
2 necros have to be discemberd before they die , and flood just by destroing the nerv system ( halo weapons shoot and explod .. they dont cut .. whit exeption of the energy sword ,and tearing power of larger flood . but both sides have gigants for players ) and lets not forget the imortal hunter
and othe large beasts on the ishimura that have so hard skin that plasma cutter couldnt cut trugh it
3 they took over a ship ( if you look closely its the size of a f-ing continent ) in a mather of hours , it had full miletary armory and some pretty powerfull mineing eqipment .
4 they are not the britest but they lern slowlyas they leard how to use vents ... and the bat thingies are alot smarter that other necros .. but probobly cause the gene splicing they do necros can easly create a smart necro ..
5 they could easly take over a covenant or in this case ( flood ) ship because they wouldnt be prepared for them . woldnt know jack shi** about them the first time they saw necros .
6 NECROS WOULD ABSORB FLOOD CUZ THEY CHANGE YOU AT THE GENETIC LEVEL flood couldnt do sh** about it
7 necros were turnin the whole ship in to a gigant monster ..thats why
they didnt bother with the shuttle pods
8 flood zombie is killed by destroying the nerv system
( i love halo and stuff i watched halo legends but necros are alot cooler , and powerfoul so they would surely win ... )
9 in dead space its only hours after the infection...
wonder what it would be like in weeks or months O.o
10 maybe they would for an aliance ... maybe ... butnot likely
The Flood are able to infect any calcium-rich bio organism, not sure if that would include the Necromorphs. Considering the rate at which the Flood are allowed to reproduce, I'd have to say Flood.
1. If they still have a spinal cord, it is still obviously vulnerable, the DNA change only comes from an infector so unless that infector is going to re-infect an flood infected necromorph don't expect a change.
2. Tell that to the Necromorph who got beaten to death in Downfall , let's not forget the Flood are strong enough to send a spartan flying unless something else happened in the books, so that is enough strength to send something nearly half a ton flying, I'd so a hit from a Flood form would dismember a Necromorph and more.
3. Flood took over a ship, some Halos, and a planet. Your point?
4. The Flood are already smart enough to plot with the Gravemind or whatever its name is behind them.
5. Considering the frailty of the Necros, unless that ship is all grunts and jackals, the Necros will lose. Plasma weapons > Necromorph
6. Says who? Flood have already been stated to overwrite the body's DNA code and at a faster rate. You think the things they infect looked that way before?
7. Maybe I haven't played the game in awhile but what?
8. And as I said a Necromorph can be easily dismembered or punched in the face for a victory.
9. In Halo it is only minutes for a city to be decimated, imagine a hour.
Flood intelligence is so key because they are able to absorb knowledge from their hosts, this is why in-game they are able to do things like operate weaponry or even pilot ships or vehicles.

or vice versa .. the flood couldnt take over an necro infected body ^^
or if it could it would sill work vice versa ..

((((bye bye birdie .. but there are larger necros and the HUNTER))
3. Flood took over a ship, some Halos, and a planet. Your point?
over time necros would do the same ..... maybe evean more ..
cuz they make hell big creatures and were turning a ship in a gigatic transport monser whit their own eco system ..
but for now in concering flood win ^^
4. The Flood are already smart enough to plot with the Gravemind or whatever its name is behind them.
yea necros have that too ..
but are still in learning phase ..... only 5 to 10 hours since the FIRST ever infection ... the flood didnt become albert einsteins in 5 hours did they ........ ^^
5. Considering the frailty of the Necros, unless that ship is all grunts and jackals, the Necros will lose. Plasma weapons > Necromorph
( plasma gun and plasma cuter arnt the sam .. but similar and it would still take much longer for a plasma gun to compleatly discember a necro ) and lets not forget that its the first time covenant of flood encounter necromorphs and probobly necros would beat them ..
6. Says who? Flood have already been stated to overwrite the body's DNA code and at a faster rate. You think the things they infect looked that way before? (well the bodies in dead space turn in 10 secs to a point of no recodnition .. and infector can just put his pe*** thing into a flood and turn it ..... or in anoter scenario no one can turn eatchother
=
7. Maybe I haven't played the game in awhile but what? <<
yea . the bio thing growing around the whole ship its called CORUPTION i think , it built its own eco system and stuff ?? ... turning in to a gigant monster .. and they built hatching pods that would pump out necros .. no nead for bodies ..
8. And as I said a Necromorph can be easily dismembered or punched in the face for a victory.( total disemberment for death.. the point of no movemant = death , and the remains are colected for that big as* thing that has armor resistand to plasma cutter ..
and i dont remember whats it called but the thingie witch just puts on giblets of bodies on itself and its realy hard to destroy , it looked like a head or somthin ; ) .. and merge animals and necros see what you get O.o
still has weak points
and the f-ing HUNTER hes IMORTAL ?? what about him ??
9. In Halo it is only minutes for a city to be decimated, imagine a hour.
In Halo it is only minutes for a city to be decimated, imagine a hour
( the ship is a size of continent so ther destruction rate is the same
and one qestion do the flood have to breathe ?? dont know that ..
and leviatan has materialised in 4 hours and its gigantic
and if isac didnt destroy the ship ... the whole thing would become a gigant necro whit its own eco system
hmmm you got good points too but they are exactly eveanly matched
i as last resort they would form an kind of saprofiti aliance or somthin
i dont know ... but they are both awsome and powerfoul
so i vote a tie
or ..... they kill eatch other and die and we stay happy
1. Kind of the point except considering the Flood's strength compared to Isaac's the infector better hope it is dead before it even tries. Then there is always the Flood spore cloud that also kills and infects.
2. Show me a necromorph that weighs 1,000 lbs that isn't the hive mind or any of the other bosses, if any of them have a chance it is the Brute which might possibly weight more. Then again though there is always the flying Flood forms to deal with that no Necromorph can reach or the Flood Thrashers which are about the size of an elephant.
3. Of course the Flood win that, they destroy other alien races.
4. I'm siding with the side that already has the intelligence to destroy races with the technology of the Forerunners
5. You know those plasma guns actually can melt through the armor of Spartans? Spartan armor >>>>>>>>>>>> Necromorph flesh
6. Flood infection happens in less than 10 seconds and their infection forms seem a lot more effective aside from their endurance, but you never see an infection form get thrown off of their target, those things were strong enough to pierce Chief's armor.
7. Pretty sure the Flood do that to everyplace they take over
8. That Necromorph that got punched by Samuel didn't get back up
I'm positive that same slow hunter died right? I'm sure the Convenant plasma weapons or Sentinal beams will melt him quite nicely... again
9.What continent is that small??? Ishimura only held 1,332 people. It may be the size of a small town.
Aside from being in the more fun campaign game the Necros stand no chance.

I don't think Downfall should be considered canon. The fact that the Marker in the animated film kept Necromorphs at bay while it didn't do that in the game supports this. Necromorphs getting killed by being punched in the face is bull
The suggestion that biological tissue (any of it) is unaffected by superheated plasma in the manner in which it's portrayed in Halo is remarkably stupid.
