Combine has no plural. It's always written as "Combine" There are no "Combines". God I hate it when people write that. Looking at the poll, I think Demons and Metroids are the only ones that have such...
Anyway, if we're talking backstory as well as in-game, then the Combine.
I think a multidimensional Empire would fair pretty well against those others. Just for the people that don't have a clue, the Combine Soldiers in Half-Life 2 are NOT the Combine race. They're humans that have undergone certain procedures/enhancements to turn them into a loyal soldier. Striders, Hunters, Gunships. They're all "living" soldiers. I mean, they're more mechanical than they are a life form, but you get the idea. The Advisors are believed to be the original Combine race, and they can do some pretty crazy things...
Though, as with a couple of other people in this thread, I'm putting my vote down for the Tyranids. ;)
the chimera screwed over the entire world pretty damn fastAndrovinus
The Combine and the Demons took over earth pretty fast too.
The Floods got their asses kicked when they tried to invade earth, but i guess only a small amount of floods attacked earth at that time.
The Metroids never went to earth.
The Combine you fight in HL2 are the human agents of the Combine empire. They take over a place, enslave the population, and force them to puppet-govern themselves under Combine leadership.
The Combine doesn't just have an intergalactic empire, its interdimensional. I think that trumps pretty much everything, except the Tyranids.
I agree. I would also go with Metroids. Look, none of the others on the list can use metroids as a host. Metroids needs to be freezed and then blasted, something neither of the ones on the list can do except for chimera and combine if they get the weapons, but where are they going to get them from? Also, metroids don't need humans to suck energy from, they need natural energy.The Combine you fight in HL2 are the human agents of the Combine empire.

metroids would win as one needs to freeze them to kill themsurrealnumber5
We could block out the Sun with a special cloud machine, or use that machine they used in the Matrix, turning the Earth's surface into a frozen tundra :P

Influenza, commonly referred to as the flu, is an infectious disease caused by RNA viruses of the familyOrthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses), that affects birds and mammals. The name influenza comes from the Italianinfluenza, meaning "influence" (Latin: influentia). The most common symptoms of the disease are chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.[1] Fever and coughs are the most frequent symptoms. In more serious cases, influenza causespneumonia, which can be fatal, particularly for the young and the elderly. Although it is often confused with other influenza-like illnesses, especially the common cold, influenza is a much more severe disease than the common cold and is caused by a different type of virus.[2] Influenza may produce nausea and vomiting, particularly in children,[1] but these symptoms are more common in the unrelated gastroenteritis, which is sometimes called "stomach flu" or "24-hour flu".[3]
Alien species just dont have any defence against it.
the things listed above are not mammals or birds therefore dont have to worry about the flu lolWINNER:

Just a tiny spore. But once it gets on something it'll spread fast.[QUOTE="megapikachu101"][QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"] But it only takes 1 flood spore to destroy there entire army.SparkyProtocol

The only got there asses kicked because they crashed there ship and then the elites glassed half of africa....The flood would simply infect them and take control. Plus i'm sure a gravemind would give that monster a very very very good run for it's money!
i think i have made my opinion clear enough

The Flood are only as strong as the opponents they infect, You basically cannot kill them unless you destroy their food...walkingdreamSee now the question comes up - can the flood attach onto unique races like the chimera? Will the Chimera virus infect the flood? This shouldn't be an argument fought with something like that. I don't know about the other choices, but the Chimera are quite diverse. You have thousands of grims, just as many grunt type soldiers all who which come in different sizes and with different abilities. You have the titans, and those large dog type ones as well. Then there are all these different machines, like the Goliath, or Stalker. Not to mention those freaking annoying turrets that you can't kill unless you get behind it! Imagine those lined up protecting all directions with only one small gap to get into the middle. (sorry if that last example didn't come out proper - hard to explain :P )

But any race who wasn't immune would be dead....no chance. God i sound like a Halo Fanboy lol

which one? there 3 different kinds there also don't you think it would be a little bit more compicated than to just infect them the chimera arent newbies when it comes to that either ya know

Well not including the Machine one.....unless it has a flesh host inside..... Chimera has what? Half of Earth? The Flood have probably many different Galaxys of control....I'm sure the flood can handle it lolThe Flood are only as strong as the opponents they infect, You basically cannot kill them unless you destroy their food...walkingdream
Not completly true, the flood will make what it infected stronger than it could have ever been but yes, a flood warrior from a brute> flood warrior from a human,

God i sound like a Halo Fanboy lol lol. maybe true bout that last bit - but then again, i never encountered an elite turn flood creature, but ive only played the 1st halo extensively to actually remember. was there anything like that in the other 2 games? So maybe you don't even need to have a virus, its just humans they can take control off. Also, there will be a way to stop the flood - bungie one leave the series with the flood taking over, they MIGHT introduce a method - we just dont know, and i mean other than killing all life. again if they already did then my bad, havnt played the other 2 that well (not into the story, just the online).
I just got a crazy idea between the chimera and the flood what if the flood infect crawlers which makes them a different faction then chimera and the flood and then they infect the flood and chimera which creats an unstoppable race of aliens? also does anyone else wonder how the metroids are winning the poll?

yeah there are elite ones, they are fairly rare to come across though. In fact in the third game I think that there are also brute and hunter(maybe not hunters though) ones.
