necromorph is both human and animals. like stalker*act like velicoraptors*\
I don't care if they aren't part of this comparison, they could wipe the floor with both of these sissy races at the same time. They are aliens that devour all living matter on worlds to use the DNA for improving the deadliness of their creatures leaving barren rocks in their wake.

Tyranids and Necromorph got same simliliar. but does they get killed by dismember them?
Some of the bigger ones are difficult to kill but the rest have strength in numbers, they form endless waves of small creatures and throw them at defensive lines just to make people run out of ammo.

same as necromorph. there bigger one are difficult to kill to mention the ubermorph will kill every tyrndia on sight. cause it cannt be killed, you can dismember it it gonna restore it again
They wouldn't really need to dismember the ubermorph's limbs one at a time, the ubermorph in dead space was killed by engines from a dropship. Some Tyranids can spit bio-plasma which could burn through all of its mass at once.
In some respects, but Tyranids are much more plentiful, bigger ones have psychic powers and are generally much harder to get rid of. They also don't have to rely on infecting animals, when they strip a world they drink the oceans and devour all the plants for resources to make more of themselves.

It really isn't surprising that a Warhammer 40k race would beat another similar race, since they just ratchet things up to near unbeatable levels.

If it only regrows limbs like the hunter then it goes to reasoning it could be killed in the same way. Even if it was invincible, which is just silly, there probably just weren't means in the game for it to be killed, the Tyranids might as well ignore it. One of those things doesn't really matter. It can't board a ship without help, it obviously can't be mass produced, it couldn't even hurt the important Tyranid creatures.

This is true, 'nids could own pretty much anything. I mean, even ignoring the fact that, by the lore's logic, all of them have become much stronger since introduction, they still have ENORMOUS numbers. Not to mention space ship-like 'nids exist.
As for the question, I'd go with the Flood. Necromorphs really failed to reach the same scale as the flood, considering just a handful of people were able to completely shut them down in a small period of time whereas the Flood could not be stopped. Hence, the "Flood."

im sorry but your argument is just so biased its wrong :/ now i don't know much about dead space 2 stuff, but i did play one and well, sure the flood are squishy and would get decimated by the necromorphs the sheer numbers and the fact they can take over anybody dead or alive would just over whelm them. that's in fact how it happens in the halo universe sheers numbers and certain ones can use certain weapons. now im straying away from the DOW 40k stuff cause well its not on topic, but tyranids would own everything.
now it would be nice if you could read up on some stuff about the flood so your argument isn't just one sided.

You brought up a point I was thinking of earlier lol. The flood can take down the tyranids no problem heh, just swarm them with piles of flood parasites until a weakspot is found and the infection can take place
. I mean come on. The flood can infect entire PLANETS in a few days or less. Hence why the rings in the halo universe were created. If the flood were to spread too far, then the rings would activate and destroy all sentient life in the universeYou brought up a point I was thinking of earlier lol. The flood can take down the tyranids no problem heh, just swarm them with piles of flood parasites until a weakspot is found and the infection can take place
Tyranids can have force fields similar to the Spartan's shields, except they don't go down so easily. They also have ranged weapons to clear out infection forms and can reclaim all the genetic material they lose to the flood to create more Tyranids. In addition to all that Tyranids quickly evolve to adapt to what they fight against, the basic gaunts (small creatures) and the rest would evolve to become immune to infection in some way.
The thing is, both the Flood and Necromorphs were both brought down by people that look like sissies next to 40k Space Marines, which it takes entire armies of with support from many other forces to stop a single Tyranid Hive Fleet. A Tyranid Warrior form is statistically more powerful one on one than one of these Space Marines.
Thus since Tyranids > Space Marines and Space marines > Issac/Master Chief and Issac/Master Chief > Flood/Necromorphs we can conclude that Tyranids > Flood/Necromorphs.

Each Tyranid fleet possesses its own Hive Mind, and the overall behavior is different from Necromorphs and Zerg in that there is no conscious goal of total domination. Instead, the act of consuming a planet is seen only as a way for the fleet to continue to survive.
Tyranid cannt win!

What does any of that have to do with anything? The Tyranids consume planets as a method to increase their races numbers, just as humans reproduce. Just because they don't want to take over worlds doesn't mean they can't win a fight.

So, planet eating is essential to Tyranid survival and evolution, therefore the Necromorphs are better? I'm kinda lost with what you're saying here. Seems like that motivation would be pretty inspiring.
More on topic, I remembered that the Flood don't have a crippling weak point. That weak point being the fact that if you just take off Necromorphs' limbs, they die. The flood, even though they just need to be shot to die, really, could easily figure out how to exploit that, and then the Gravemind sends out new mutations specifically designed for killing Necromorphs.
Really, the Flood's ability to adapt, listed rather early in that link you posted, is probably what really makes them win over the Necromorphs. The fact is that Necromorphs do get stronger and more advanced, but the Flood become more experienced and rather than evolving to just become stronger, evolve specifically to assimilate the Necromorphs into the Flood.
Let these opinions not diminish my opinion of Dead Space, it's a really good game. I'm just stating the facts. They may be inconsistent at times, but I try to stay consistent.
