The Flood Vs Necromorph


i did play first Halo, the flood did spread from one main location to all over the ring but it kill everyone on the ring, alien,forerunner marine etcs

their infection form are similiar to necromorph but they have suicide nature and weapon unlikes necromorph include necromorph absort the bullets when being shot at the body.

The Necromorph, in downfall(the movie) it was only 2 common and 1 bat form later on the movie it took over medical deck(DS1) where you got locked in while you getting captain's rig. soon as possible the WHOLE ishimura(Ship) was taken over by necromorph barely any survivors on dead space 1.

i would go for necromorph over the flood on this
 
Ugh. Trying to read your post made my eyes hurt USG. I don't know all the "lore" behind the Necromorphs, but from the Halo series (games and books), the Flood has been around for thousands of years, and at one point, threatened to destroy all life in the universe before the Forerunners manage to imprison them. If the Necromorphs have the same wide-spread reach of infecting everything, then it would come down to more of a comparison of what they're capable of as individual entities rather than as a whole "species."
 
**Possible Spoilers**

The necromorphs are humans mutated into abominations via an alien marker discovered on Aegis VII by the planet cracker class vessle the USG Ishumura.

From what i have found through audio logs in the DS2 campaign once the marker is destroyed all previously animated flesh + bone returns to a goo like substance.

In DS2 we find out that there is at least 1 more marker causing the mutations at The Sprawl ( a space station going around Titan, a moon of Saturn.)

--- Characteristics of Necromorphs

-- MUCH harder to kill, you cannot simply spray and pray. You have to decapitate them, or they will keep coming and kill you.

-- More variety imo, you have
- Brute (similar to hunters in halo)
- Bat (reanimates corpses)
- around 3-4 types of general necros (all with 5ft swords for arms that you can shoot back at enemies)
- Baby necros which explode..
- Children necros (very fast but weak)
- Spitters (not called that i dont believe but they barf on you and its not fun)
- Stalkers (fast and deadly, also hide until they strike)
- Several boss necros.
- and more im probably forgetting.

So It is comparable to Halo in a general sense of halo = marker, but when it comes down to it I would think the necromorphs would win due to how harder they are to kill than flood in their respective games. Not to mention you are scared out of your seat until you get used to it, even then you will probably jump every once in a while =P keeps it interesting.

mostly all Halo Flood are basiced on one shot killed with shotgun. i didn't bother use my pistol or assault rifle aganist them.

DS2 and DS1, it took me to kill one single necro about 3 - 4 shots depending on the size they are.

with fact's good list for compare. Halo does have other type of monster variey for flood but velociraptor(stalkers) will Own all of them with The Hive Mind. include ubermorph(eww)

I can image infecter use itself own ability on flood's marine cause it is human

Necromorph did took over the colony and ishimura within hours.

I god...I can't believe I'm about to argue this...

The thing about the Flood is that it will infect any sentient being it comes into contact with and it does it fast. Even further, after infection the creature can still use weaponry. In the Halo back story the Forerunner build the rings to wipe out all sentient life in the galaxy to halt the Flood's expansion. I mean we're talking about a threat so great that pretty much all life in the galaxy had to be killed off to just to defeat it...and even that didn't kill them off.
 
You know in DS2 that they say "Marker site (i think it was 12) has been destroyed. But no matter we can still continue" Or something similar to that. In halo theres about 7 rings. Plus once a marker gets destroyed it only destroys the necromorphs around that one marker. They could have testing facilities around other markers that EarthGov or whatever made. Also on the halo games, I have not seen one grunt turn into flood grunt man, Except with the necromorphs they take over everything they see and turn it like the birds in DS2 into those weird things that fly away. Finally necromorphs can turn themselves into goo (from what I got from a audio log in DS2) and then reform, the flood can transform but not reform to the capacity of the necromorphs. In my opinion necromorphs are better
 
I'd say the flood are more deadly of the two. With the ability to take out a spartan's shields in one swing and carry weapons as large as a rocket while using them effectively. They also move rather fast and can jump pretty high. Not to mention there is a countless amount of the small flood pods which reanimate both corpses and killed flood carriers alike. The pods can also infect and take over living beings (as shown in Halo 3). The flood made it to Earth in Halo 3 and the only way they were able to eliminate the threat was by 'glassing' the entire location surrounding where the impact zone happened.

In my opinion the necromorph is just a rip off of the flood lol I mean they have similar back stories, actions, behaviors, and appearances
 
Mdgrim, they're a race in the 40K Warhammer games. Think giant, armored insects with a very bad attitude.

Side question: How many read the Halo series? It provides some additional information about the Flood that you may not have known in the game.
 
Of these 2, I would say the Necromorph, or however it's spelt, off DS. But, of all of them, I'd say L4D, because of the tank. Yeaaaaah.

I've read the first four of the books. After that I just stopped caring about the Halo universe.
 
in Halo 3, they actaully took an whole city? that similiar to dead space 2 when necromorph outbreak on sprawl. the question how long the flood took over the city? necromorph was like 3/4 for sprawl when the game started time you reach ch 4 or 5 the whole sprawl is completely take over.

The Flood took over the Milky Way in Halo's back story. Hence the rings were built and fired to wipe out all life in the galaxy.

But to anser your question it isn't show how fast the Flood took the city. There was already heavy fighting happening there and in all likelihood that city was evacuated before the Flood came.

why cant the flood take over necromorphs bodies when the are alive? i read all the books (well the first good ones) and played DS i don't think that necromorphs can take over bodies of the flood when they are alive, flood can.
now this practically like the console wars there is going to be different opinions and it will never end.
but if i had to choose i would choose flood.
btw never played the halo games only read books.
 
necormorphs bat normally inject something into the dead person or alive person and make them as one of commons. i dont see flood can do that or not. i did see they do it when they are alive or dead

well i doubt that would work on the flood. and the flood cant inject, but they can use the floodlings to get people.
now im sorry if this sounds mean but i cannot understand what you are saying, you need to rewrite that please.
