For an unstoppable "flood" of little scurrying shits that steal bodies and tech, they kinda do fuckall to shields.

You'd think the forerunners would work on getting really good shield technology, on a cosmic scale, instead of creating a set of doom bomb planets, on a cosmic scale.

Elites, and masterchief, have shields that pop after taking a few dozen infection forms.

The issue isn't that, the issue is the forerunner race focusing their efforts and technology into building a set of universe exploding bombs, instead of perfecting the shield technologies that clearly fucked up the flood so easily without requiring any effort.

The flood is a single plague, and can create environments where other forms of rot and decay can thrive. Nurgle is ALL OF THE PLAGUES, if he can't control the flood through being fucking nurgle or through warp interference with the gaymind, nurgle can literally just turn the flood's ideal environments against them.

The Flash can run fast. How fast? He can run so fast he can appear everywhere in your field of vision. And I'm not just talking illusions; he can accelerate so fast that the seconds it takes for him to be there and not be there simply do not happen. He's always there. I'm not just talking about Earth either. He can appear in every conceivable point in the universe instantly if he so chooses. No ground you say? Fuck ground. He's running on Speed Force. If there's a direction, orientation, angle or spot in the universe not occupied, the Flash he can be there.
But we're not done. Moving so fast Flash gains another ability called the Infinite Mass Punch. I won't blow your brains with science, but once something accelerates past the speed of light it gains infinite mass. So now we've got infinite Flashes, all with Infinite Mass Punches wound up. You cannot block infinite mass, it would crush reality.
But we're not done. The Flash can also traverse time and dimensions (see CoTE), so now he's gone to every possible conceivable point not just in physical existence, but in the 4th dimension such that he is at every conceivable yoctosecond you ever existed. In every single dimension, everywhere, all at once with Infinite Mass Punches.
But we're not done. Just to make sure he lands every hit, all those Flashes can slow down your speed to the point you cannot move a single electron. You weren't fast enough before, but now you can't even think to dodge.
Now you're done. There is no defense in any universe that could stop this. It's absolute bullshit at its finest. And it is completely possible for him. Infinite everything, what are you even going to do? You're gonna stand there and stop existing. The first punch completely erases you from existence.
Never make another power level thread for the rest of your life. The answer is: The Flash.

They can get infected just fine, and they get turned into carrier forms. Elites, Brutes, and Humans are good for making combat forms.

And the reason the Hunters aren't able to be taken over is because they're a colony of worms in a big suit of armor

Comic book characters are never consistent in their powers and thus shouldn't be included in power level discussions.

Pretty much every race manages to counter the flood once they get set up. It's just hard to do. You see the problem is they are very infectious and in most cases it's the initial scare effect. That being said they almost always get a good infection going.

Lots of things can defeat the flood, lots of things can't. The problem is that in each game's universe there would have to be some kind of introduction and a planned final for the flood.

Technically speaking just about any video game character could probably beat the flood if it was introduced via the proper methods.

RE: A meteorite lands on the planet, Umbrella operatives try to examine it and the scientists become flood, quarantine happens and your guys go in to get the research materials. Finale is a thermonuclear explosion to sterilize the plant.

DMC: Flood gets summoned through random demonic portals, Dante has to kill them all and break the demonic entity that summoned them, which will cause all of the flood particles and entities to get pulled back into their original location in space.

Etc. Anything else is just a fanwank of "MY POWERFUL RACE COULD BEAT YOUR POWERFUL CHARACTER!!!!"

Halo was a 'Fuck yeah, Humanity!' story. It was about humans nearly being wiped out and through determination and the will to survive humanity survived barely and in a final ditch effort won a war that seemed impossible to win.

The problem with Halo fanbase is that they eat up everything that Bungie/343I says is canon, even thought the whole thing might be retarded. That, and that they are possibly the most butthurt fanbase there can be. One visit to Waypoint forums proves these 2 things.

But is being able to escape fights a bad thing? You could never really get away from a close quarters battle in previous Halos. And its not as if everyone playing the game can just sanic out the door when their shields drop - by the time they try to run, its usually to late.

And can you explain why having larger maps is bad? I understand that bigger =/= better, but if they're designed with sprinting in mind, is there really a problem

I dug the armor abilities in Reach, I wouldn't mind keeping sprint as one of them. It was pretty cool and added a lot of depth to the gameplay. In terms of multiplayer, Reach was by far the best.

Sprint should not be anything more though
>>
If a Spartans armor costs as much as a warship why does he still die in one shot?
>>
>>263325646
If you died in Halo, it was most likely your own fault. By having sprint, you can now avoid death by running away, thus causing a better player than you to lose a deserved kill.

As for bigger maps? Well, Halo hasn't really been a game filled with large maps, since 4v4 has been the most popular gametype in all Halo games, and vehicles are pretty much forgotten in BTB because of sprint.
