The mods been pretty updated since you played it, flood has been optimized so you can only build pure forms till you get a proto gravemind, jackal leader god replaced with the grunt rebellion, and a bunch of custom units got added to everyone Also the flood can build anything anywhere pretty much, as broken as that sounds the flood are actually pretty balanced now starting off pretty weak but can quickly become powerful if you spam resource stuff early
The leader of the Heretics that took control of the gas mine on Threshold was never an Arbiter. He was just the head of the crew sent to the mining installation.
Honestly if Flood were added they'd make Rush the front most part of the meta, unless they made early defense way stronger for the other factions a flood player could begin moving out before they'd be able to build a decent defensive force
It's a mod , plus it has been updated alot regarding balance but who cares have some fun on some custom games and be happy with your free content. Why ppl always gotta complain? this is why we can't have good things. Now eat your mush and LoVE iT! So many people instantly mentioned balance but who tf actually competitively plays this 13yr old game?
I still genuinely believe the devs were just lazy and didn't want to think about how to make the Flood balanced in competitive play. At the very least, they should have been playable in custom skirmish matches.
@nathanboyle7573 what does his skills at the game have to do with the video though? The video 7 the mod not his skills, and one think he definitely did not show that I think is a big miss is whatever the gravemind is in this mod. Gravemind in lore is obviously nuts so there might have been more there
I wish that you could play as the Flood in Halo Wars 2, they should’ve been a leader option, that would be sick. Obviously should be very carefully balanced though, so their not OP. But they have so many cool unit options. Wasted potential. The leader could just be called “Gravemind”.
I really want this as a faction in HW2 They put some much into them with bases, mini bases, super units, infantry They had everything and they made it a dumb AI for firefight and campaign
The Arbiter of halo wars was named Ripa Morem'ee, the Chieftain was named Maccubeus. Those were answered within Cannon between the releases of ODST and Reach.
Nope the HW1 chieftain was nicknamed Thrallslayer and about 2 years ago with the release of the Encyclopedia was confirmed to be named Avitus. Maccabaeus was Tartarus’ uncle and died well before the events of HW1
Best UNSC units for killing flood are gauss hogs. They’re fast, do a lot of damage, and are cheap. Do chances are you will be at full cap and have all your troops where you want in record time.
To answer your question at 10:30, they probably didn’t add this as a playable faction because they added it in some maps as a rebel/rogue AI faction for bases similar to that of insurrectionists/rebels.
Yep, i imagine what a piece of shit fight that little shitty scarab with the flood, man, i lost SO MANY TIMES because he would just randomly shoot laser in my base, 3 times in a roll, and if he see one of my unit, INSTEAD OF JUST AIM TO THEM HE WOULD JUST TURN TO MY BASE AND DESTROY IT, i had to Remake that mission 15 times, While i never lost other stages, even that flood mission, that shit that took me almost 30 minutes to get ready enought to destroy the first "outpost" just to reach the spartans
If you didn’t fined out at 3:55 the Enemy won’t have tech upgraded yet so when your flood infects one it will have all the tech they have and the stuff they didn’t tech up yet I think I could be wrong but that’s about what it sounds like
description of the arbiter is incorrect, the Halo wars Arbiter was Ripa 'Morame, Sesa 'Refumee was the Heretic leader that you fight and kill in Halo 2 as the Arbiter Thel 'Vadamee.
I miss the Insurrectionist in Halo Wars... shame they couldn't get to whatever ass-end of the galaxy the Spirit of Fire somehow got to in HW2... just finding some empty base kinda makes me die a little on the inside every time.
The maps are crap compared to halo 1 the areas for infantry to take cover in out of the way useless spots. Activable Barrers are almost gone, no special buildings like the cannon and remember the halo 1 map where you can release the flood gone. 3 out of 10
I'd like to play this game, but everything i think of what they did to us who bought the "Ultimate edition" (lol what a joke that was). I just can't bring myself to give the game any of my time, honestly hope it dies and they never make another one. Take my money, take it and choke on it! Nice video tho, very interesting mod.
lol thats actually the name of the heretic elite in halo 2 The actual canon bio for the origina; halo wars was fine idk why they changed it. That particular arbiters name is actuall ripa moramee and is a mean mf
So, this was to show the flood but all you did was rush the bases... forget testing units, show the units (even the failed spawn one), just mass spawn units and end the video... This only shows me that the flood is boring and the mod isn't that good
Since they have playable factions that serve no purpose in the story they should just give is Flood, Forerunner, & even Classic Covenant again that aren’t reskinned banished for the skirmish modes.
Idk if you still view your comments on this video, but my friends and I are 3v3ing on halo wars 1 and 2 of them on the enemy team like using Jesus scarab. How do I counter scarab we need a good strat
on everything you have the worst show cases ever. you could atleast show all the content. this has been a problem on just about every show case of yours ive seen an it bothers me
Can't complain about the wording when you called the Proto-Gravemind a "Photo" Gravemind, you also called the Spirit a Phantom.
Nobody likes your stupid settlements
@@noahpuli4887 Nobody likes your stupid attitude either, yet here we are.
@@noahpuli4887 I mean it's a way to get a lot of exp.

Mmmmyes

I have to try this mod.
Why Dident u BUILD a proto grave mind !!???
Drives me crazy too.
IKR UUUUGGG
Didn't, you, build
Proto Gravemind.
The leader of the Heretics that took control of the gas mine on Threshold was never an Arbiter. He was just the head of the crew sent to the mining installation.

5:45 is when he started to show symptoms of infection from the flood.
"Flood OP PLZ NERF" that killed me, please come to my funeral.
10:17 for balancing reasons
They would either have to make the Flood less powerful, or have a Flood player be almost unstoppable, especially 1v1.
It's a mod , plus it has been updated alot regarding balance but who cares have some fun on some custom games and be happy with your free content.

I.....I'll be honest, watching this was like smashing my face against a brick wall.
Yowch.
Yes, this dude didn't take the time yo enjoy the mod
Yeah this was terrible. Just built a couple units then rushed the enemy base without trying anything
You guys insult him yeah I guarantee Halo Wars or Halo Wars 2 this guy would smash you in multiplayer. You guys obviously aren't long time followers

5:44 bless you
Man i like you're profile picture 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's buu from dbz mixed in with boo from Mario
This is all incorrect sesa was the the heretic leader from halo 2 he was never an arbiter the arbiters name In hw1 is ripa moramee
who said the leader in the mod has to be ripa moramee
@@Blackandfan was pointing out what Andrew was saying correcting him that was all
I feel like the mod leader is supposed to be Sesa but they just didn't, you know, finish it yet.
you missed the gravemind
The Arbiter of halo wars was named Ripa Morem'ee, the Chieftain was named Maccubeus.
Those were answered within Cannon between the releases of ODST and Reach.
Nope the HW1 chieftain was nicknamed Thrallslayer and about 2 years ago with the release of the Encyclopedia was confirmed to be named Avitus. Maccabaeus was Tartarus’ uncle and died well before the events of HW1

15:40 the halo wars 1 AI has always been smarter than most want to give it credit for.
Even worse when it's set to automatic
if 343 ever makes a 3rd Halo Wars, or makes a new dlc for 2, they need to add the Gravemind as a leader.
This is why you do t have someone who focuses on pvp testing new mods....so many missed opportunities
Sesa Rufumee is the heretic leader not the Arbiter who is Ripa Moramee in Halo Wars
Kid: mom can we have Zerg?
Mom: we have Zerg at home
*zerg at home*
Halo Wars 1 Arbiter is confirmed to the name, "Ripa 'Moramee" in Halo Wars 2, as it states in his lore there that he died to Forge
No proto-gravemind =dislike shame
Yeah, you can see infected grunts in Beachhead
dammit i got exited and was expecting it to be halo wars 2.
To answer your question at 10:30, they probably didn’t add this as a playable faction because they added it in some maps as a rebel/rogue AI faction for bases similar to that of insurrectionists/rebels.
Oh my God this mod looks gorgeous I still play Halo Wars today and I really wish this was available on Xbox
lol, I knew this was coming when Ed mentioned he was planning on doing a flood mod video in halo DE 😂😂😂, Fun to see you playing it still.
So you can have 10 flood spartan tanks that’s pretty balanced
Yep, i imagine what a piece of shit fight that little shitty scarab with the flood, man, i lost SO MANY TIMES because he would just randomly shoot laser in my base, 3 times in a roll, and if he see one of my unit, INSTEAD OF JUST AIM TO THEM HE WOULD JUST TURN TO MY BASE AND DESTROY IT, i had to Remake that mission 15 times, While i never lost other stages, even that flood mission, that shit that took me almost 30 minutes to get ready enought to destroy the first "outpost" just to reach the spartans
having unit number limit for the flood is senseless
The replied several years ago tht balancing the flood would be to much time consuming and really difficult to make them worth playing
Well they're right, that Flood we see here would shut down the viability of every other commander
I wish they made another halo wars😢😢
Same
@@Nudrius Well the halo wars 2 ending was pretty open... And I don't really see why 343 wouldn't make a 3th game...
I think there was a 3rd one in the making but it was cancelled or something.
Dude the first 1 was on 2009 next was 2016, theres probaly another one being made
Fire king hopes
I want to see the flood boss base.
James? Gonna be hilarious if some actually named james watches the video without knowing the joke.
Aka me
At 13:55 I legitimately thought I was crazy, because that happened to me once playing against ai. And I never saw them do it again.
man who said photo gravemind instead of proto graveman critcizes do now rather than now do, despite both being correct. quality
It is like playing as Zerg in SC. :)
No way that arbiter was the heretic leader… that arbiter gets rocked in the neck by a knife in the campaign
Bless you since you sneezed
Vote for Chief at IGN!
Time to make him reach the FINALS! #117#bestcharacterofalltime#Halo
this is quite suprising
If you didn’t fined out at 3:55 the Enemy won’t have tech upgraded yet so when your flood infects one it will have all the tech they have and the stuff they didn’t tech up yet I think I could be wrong but that’s about what it sounds like
I just realized after playing halo wars one again that the flood do infact have infected grunts in the mission right before the end
I wish I could get these mods on xbox
Bless you
I saw this video and thought it said 'Playing as the Food'
Chris B yeah you’re the food and imma eat you
You totally ignored the boss lol
Seeing what the other player built on the score screen is already in Definitive Edition\
Honestly, only problem I see is that the Abiter's name is wrong
What kind of psycho plays at this angle
i wish the mods for halo wars were promted like fallout 4 so i could be the flood
on xbox one of course
Any word on that Halo Evolutions mod yet? I'm hyped as fuck to play that.
Nothing new yet! Hoping to hear some good news about it soon.
description of the arbiter is incorrect, the Halo wars Arbiter was Ripa 'Morame, Sesa 'Refumee was the Heretic leader that you fight and kill in Halo 2 as the Arbiter Thel 'Vadamee.
If you can please do some more flood
It have enough for the proto grave mind
What about the other building yiu could make
i wanna see a proto gravemind
I miss the Insurrectionist in Halo Wars... shame they couldn't get to whatever ass-end of the galaxy the Spirit of Fire somehow got to in HW2... just finding some empty base kinda makes me die a little on the inside every time.
Part 2
A big shame that it's a mod and not in the base game.
in the beginingwhen you said foto gravemind i got triggered btw it is PROTO gravemind
he called a spirit a phantom, sooo...
Loved the video keep up the good work👍👌
The maps are crap compared to halo 1 the areas for infantry to take cover in out of the way useless spots. Activable Barrers are almost gone, no special buildings like the cannon and remember the halo 1 map where you can release the flood gone. 3 out of 10
Hey, by any chance is this mod for an Xbox, like say, an Xbox 1S that plays on some Xbox 360 games like this Halo Wars?
Nope. Also doesn't matter what xbox one you're running.
Dang it, I've always wanted to play as the Flood in Halo and I thought you could use this mod on an Xbox One S.
Guys, don’t eat my poo. That’s just unhealthy
Yeah what was the boss base
I'd like to play this game, but everything i think of what they did to us who bought the "Ultimate edition" (lol what a joke that was). I just can't bring myself to give the game any of my time, honestly hope it dies and they never make another one. Take my money, take it and choke on it!
Nice video tho, very interesting mod.
Can't tell if your joking
Wait so you wanna say that you hope halo wars dies?
And that ‘joke’ that you made isn’t even a fucking joke
Cry about it
lol thats actually the name of the heretic elite in halo 2 The actual canon bio for the origina; halo wars was fine idk why they changed it. That particular arbiters name is actuall ripa moramee and is a mean mf
This hurts my brain just a tad
Reminds me of Zerg
So, this was to show the flood but all you did was rush the bases... forget testing units, show the units (even the failed spawn one), just mass spawn units and end the video...
This only shows me that the flood is boring and the mod isn't that good
I prefer Captain Cutter, he’s my go-to leader with those Elephants and ODSTs
Hello fellow dangos
Since they have playable factions that serve no purpose in the story they should just give is Flood, Forerunner, & even Classic Covenant again that aren’t reskinned banished for the skirmish modes.
Halo Wars 1 deserves a remake
or cross-platform
K the arbiters name is ripa moramee, also oh hi the floodington eddington
Ripa is the sexiest Halo character foe sho
@@ugiustuskeiserus8066 oh absolutely friend
Ügiustus Keiserus no sergeant Johnson
Make a video including a proto grave mind
I dont know why they changed Ripa's Name
So how did you get the sweet ability to play as flood? I wanna try that!
Mods
ther arbiter name is Ripa 'Moramee not that.
Do only infections forms
Is this a mod?
Idk if you still view your comments on this video, but my friends and I are 3v3ing on halo wars 1 and 2 of them on the enemy team like using Jesus scarab. How do I counter scarab we need a good strat
Imagine this in halo wars 2 also still sucks theirs no mods on consoles
Did I just hear 10 infected Spartans.😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑. No
I think they deleted this specific mod, i can't find it anywhere :/
Is there a way to get mods on pirated versions of the game
FBI OPEN UP
New race?
Is this Possible? for playing with Flood?
and I see it look like
UNSC as Terran
Covenant as Protoss
Flood as Zerg
what version of the mod is this?
Is this mod on steam?
mod name? pls daniel-
What mod is this?
Hasta jugando como el flood pierdo Xd
anyone looking for someone to play on steam? :c pls
First I don’t care what they say lmao

No you
on everything you have the worst show cases ever. you could atleast show all the content. this has been a problem on just about every show case of yours ive seen an it bothers me
