Has anyone noticed that the flood in CE do not die with snipers? They are immune to them.
I just played and noticed that. I never did before. Was this purposefully put in to the game or not?
I don’t think that they’re immune, because all it takes to kill a flood is to pop the infection form in the body. ARs and Shotguns do this really well because of the spread. Snipers are precision, so if you hit anywhere beside the infection form the damage is minor. At least that’s what I’ve come to figure after playing so many times, but the physics of the flood are different from Halo 1 to 2 to 3. Take melee damage for instance. I’m pretty sure that’s why the sniper is so ineffective against the flood though.

“Pop the infection form in the body”? This is Halo 1. It doesn’t work like that.

Notice I mentioned I was unsure since the physics changed each game. Figured Halo 1 probably didn’t work perfectly like that, but I still think it has something to do with why the sniper is so ineffective.
Actually, he’s right. In Halo 1, you’d have to kill the infection form in the victim. It’s a very complicated system, really. I’m not too sure so I’m just going to say that automatic, explosive or CQC weapons work best against flood.
Best way to deal with flood is with a shotgun, and provided you aren’t running for your life take the time to blow their arms off so they don’t pop back up when your back is turned.
Probably damage modifier.
Flood can’t be easily killed by melee because there’s a setting checked. But I don’t know about why they don’t die from the sniper.
any one wonder if the flood can take over fresh dead marines/covenent like in Halo 3?
I may be wrong
Yes it was on purpose. They didnt die with snipe in the original game either.
The Sniper purposely over-penetrates the CE Flood while transferring little damage.
I never picked up sniper for floot levels in Halo 1. Most of the times it seems to just go right through them or they abosorb it.
Snipers have always been useless to combat the flood, even the same thing happend on Halo: The flood.
Yeah, basically the bullet travvels so fast through the dead flesh that it does hardly any damage as it passes through in one spot. Shotguns and AR’s have a nice powerful spread, and the god pistol can one shot a hunter, so of course it can kill the flood!
