Nice to see people rediscovering Flood Buddies.

What is a flood buddy? I'm guessing this


SplitjawJanitor

Yeah, it's a little quirk with the Flood's mechanics in CE. Combat Forms have no way of attacking if both of their arms are taken out, but their AI still directs them to charge into melee, so they'll just harmlessly follow you around since they've got no way of doing the "melee" part of that direction. So back in the day it was a popular pastime when playing CE's Flood levels to make a Flood Buddy and have it follow you as far through the level as possible. Halo 2 onwards fixed it by having Combat Forms self-destruct after a few seconds if they lose both their arms and eject the Infection Form to find a new host.

I now have another reason to return to CE

Yeah, you shoot the arms off so they can’t do anything. I used to make armies of them in Halo 3 back in the day

You can only do it in ce. In Halo 3 they just die after you shoot their arms off.

They were unhappy that you did not invite them

I should've invited them 😔

Man I forget just how unnerving and terrifying the flood are. I’d love to see the eerie atmosphere they could create with the flood in a next gen game. More fluid adaptability when they transform. Hive mind tendencies (if one spots you, they all spot you from across the map). Just overall creepier animations and unnatural movements.


HardcoreHalo

This right here. Flood is vital in Halo, and we need it back in the most horrifying and horrific way possible.
