I was wondering in halo wars what is the flood going to use for tanks and planes. Since in the halo games your usualy on foot when you fight the, which makes them more of a challenge since they can jump and melee, but halo wars is a stragity game and theirs going to be alot of veacles, what is the flood going to have for them as tanks and planes

there is no word that you can play as the flood yet, but iam still wondering in the main campain would they have for veacles, because tey can be easly taken out by a hornet, since they uualy dont have a weapon and never use veacles

I was listening to the Bungie Podcast a while ago and Luke Smith said there was going to be no flood in Halo Wars.

this game took place 20 years before halo ce, and in halo ce, that was like the first time they saw the flood, they knew of them but not a very big threat to them, and plus they came from a different planet that halo wars takes place............this is all what i think, im no halo prof

If they do add the flood I'm sure their vehicles will just be some sort of quick moving living organism, a fluid sack or something that your other flood can enter but I don't think they're in the game.

It's pretty obvious the Flood will be in the game. They left it out of the demo for a reason..

There will be flood and they will not be a playable race. As for vehicles, technically the flood don't need any.

But I guess it's possible there would be larger flood types that may be considered vehicles or they could just take enemy vehicles as their own... Or like I said they wont need vehicles.

As for them fitting into the story, Im sure ensemble has thought it through. Either the survivng characters will either have not encountered the flood or they will have some reason to keep it a secret.

in halo 2 we saw the flood fly a pelican well we saw them crash land but since they can fire weapons I figure they should be able to take a vehicle

In Halo 2 the flood could pilot vehicles. I saw on hijack and pilot a ghost. It's rare that they jack vehicles but they do it sometimes.

Is it just me or was anybody else worried this game was going to be a dud? Don't get me wrong, I loved it. I just thought it was going to fail. RTS don't always hit the controls on consoles. It was really nice.

1) No you can't play as the Flood 2) Yes you will fight the Flood 3)They probably won't have any equivelent for tanks or planes. Perhaps they will be able to steal vehicles like the spartans.

I didn't think it would be a complete dud but I wasn't sure if it would be that fun since it was on a console. Thankfully I played the demo and it's a great game. I have had a lot of fun with it and I am going to buy this game for sure. I love that it has co-op too.

The flood will be in the game, it makes sense, the covenant fought the flood in numerous occasions(read the books) and listen to all the cinematics in the Halo series, however the humans made it plain who the flood were in CE because of the data collected by Cortana and John 117, and if you watch the Halo Wars cinematics and watch the cut scene which first features the Arbitar(not the arbitar you all come to hate and love in Halo 2 and Halo 3) an Elite asks him about the infection(tada) which is also known as the flood, and to answer the question if the flood can steal vehicles, they can, but in order to do so, they must kill a host who knows how to operate the vehicle it stole(Yes the flood not only infects your body it takes and uses your knowlegde and memories, so yes they did know the location of Earth before the covenant, they just didn't have the ability to get there)so yes the flood might steal your vehicles in Halo Wars, so better polish up on those infantry tactics and capabilities, you are going to need them
