Can someone explain why the Halo games are included in this.
Zombie
Concept »
Zombies, more accurately called the walking dead, are reanimated corpses who feed on the living, and have become a ubiquitous video game enemy. They often move slowly, but can be deadly in large numbers, which is unfortunately how they tend to travel. Shotgun time!
Halo 1, 2, 3 had Zombies?
I think the flood are considered zombies...maybe... don't know.... but yea they invade dead bodies and it looks like they're living again. yep
"@RHCPfan24: BUT WE ALREADY HAVE A CONCEPT PAGE FOR THE FLOOD HERE! So one of these needs to go!"He does have a point. I wouldn't really consider them zombies anyways.
"ZombiePie said:I think he only wants to get rid of the zombie link on the Halo games' page, which is fine. I really don't care about the details of my least favorite adversaries in video games released in the last decade, so I am not going to nitpick. It is an alien, whatever. Now, what about zombie cyborg? That is a discussion always worth having."@RHCPfan24: BUT WE ALREADY HAVE A CONCEPT PAGE FOR THE FLOOD HERE! So one of these needs to go!"What you want to get rid of the zombie page?"
I always hated the flood levels, in halo 3 they were the only ones I couldn't pass on legendary, the last 2 levels.
I wouldn't say the Flood are sentient though, only their gravemind thing was... they were living things that turn you into zombies, they're parasites.
If you think about it, in most zombie scenarios it's a virus that turns you into a zombie, well a virus is technically a living thing, a parasite...so wouldn't the beings possesed by flood be zombies?
"@RHCPfan24: See cyborg zombies are another good example of why things should be absolute. If a game featured a cyborg zombie, then with the same logic as the current situation with the Flood, I would be able to add a game that features a Cyborg Zombie on the cyborg page and the zombie page! This could lead to some people exploiting the site for wiki points."Well I was being sarcastic and mentioning the long-mentioned discussion on the Bombcast, so I am not really opening a new discussion platform. And some people find many ways to exploit the points system. This is just one method.
Yeah, I don't want to get sidetracked either. Nonetheless, it is debatable (crunch says something, ZombiePie something else), but I don't really care because I just hate the Flood. Like I said, they are among the worst enemies I have ever played in video games.Well my argument had nothing to do with the wiki system. I just wanted some clarity on why I'm looking through the games with zombies in them and Halo showed up. That was about it.

I agree with your sentiments about the flood. I always hated the flood levels. Maybe, I'm biased then. Oh well.

"Matt_ said:When I first encountered the Flood in the first Halo the game just felt like a bad FPS Resident Evil game for me. With monotonous levels that were easy to get lost in and enemies that were just plain cheap it was just didn't hold up when compared to previous levels.Yeah, I don't want to get sidetracked either.
