Flood is better than Infection?

Games Other Halo

Now, I played Living Dead on Reach yesterday and can safely say it was so unbalanced and unfair compared with Flood on Halo 4.
I also found myself enjoying Flood more (playing as both the Flood and Humans).

Now I know that’s not evidence but this thread is a question. This is my opinion and many of my friends opinions.

The only thing that bothers me is the limited customisation of Flood in custom games, obviously infection excels at this. If we could have more customisation over Flood in custom games it would be EPIC.

Flood is more far difficult for the Spartans to surive but because there is extremely limited customisability it isn’t as good as infection for custom games.

Also, the fact that Flood have AA’s make it even more challenging, to the point where surviving becomes a monumental task unless you are playing with -[Redacted]-.

To me, both modes are a lot of fun. Yet, very different. They both have different styles of play in two different games with different variations of the weapons used.

Infection (Matchmaking)
-The zombies can sprint in certain gametypes
-Slower zombie movement speed
-Less sword range
-It’s much harder for zombies to infect/kill people
-Headshots! with the Magnum
-Zombies don’t get other armor abilities than evade and sprint
-Last Man Standing actually gets an overshield
-No armor skin for zombies other than special colors

Flood (Hoalo 4 Matchmaking)
-Flood can’t sprint
-Incredibly fast movement speed for Flood
-Ridiculous Flood Claw range
-It’s much harder for humans to kill Flood
-Flood actually have shields. Headshots aren’t going to be that easy now.
-Flood and Spartans get armor abilities (Promethean Vision, Active Camo, and Hardlight Shield)
-Last Man Standing does not get an overshield or anything at all
-Spartan Flood armor skin

Flood is pretty much opposite to Infection. Halo 4 is pretty much the “opposite” version of Halo: Reach. I think we should get something in between, not either.

I resent flood for a couple of reasons.

“Well, we can’t put elites in because that wouldn’t fit with canon. But go ahead and play as flood monster which isn’t even in this game!”

And the fact that it completely killed custom games. Oh yeah, sure it’s fun, but I still hate it.
