Forerunner and Flood minifigs

As required by the "All Video Games Must Have Zombies In Them Somewhere" law, the Flood are... well, zombies. Kept quarantined on Halo rings so that... they can be spooky.

One thing Ryan and I liked to do, after we finally got used to the Flood's disgusting existence, was blow off both their arms and their head, and then let them follow us around. Once you remove all their limbs, they're useless, and can just stare at you and gurgle, twitching their feelers. At least in Halo 1...

The Monitor, 343 Guilty Spark, is a bit more friendly.

The Monitor has no method of attack, but he can call in his Sentinels. At first they're a big help against the flood.

In Halo 2 you can pick up the Sentinels' laser beams after you destroy them. That game also features golden Sentinels that fire more powerful, blue-colored beams.

As always in every game ever made, the shotgun is the most useful weapon against the zombies. All of the Covenant guns are relatively useless, although the lasers of the Sentinels seem to work just fine.

EDIT: In Halo 3, it seems they have changed this. Now Covenant guns are spectacular against Flood, and the human guns are relatively weak. Strange...
