'''Flood Swarms''' are ~~one~~ of ~~the two~~ flying [[Flood]] ~~forms yet seen, and are only found in [[Halo Wars]]~~.

'''Flood Swarms''' are a type of flying [[Flood]] species.

They were described by developers as ''"infected buzzards crossed with evil bats"''. They usually travel in groups, and attack with barbs projectiles. They are relatively weak, but can easily dispatch most infantry.

To kill Flood Swarms:

*Use these units: [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]]/[[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODSTs]], [[Warthog]]s, [[Hornet]]s, and [[Vulture]]s. Any mixture will do.

*Attack en masse. That is, attack with a large group of units. The Swarms will have trouble targeting units to kill, either focusing on a few units and ignoring the rest or spreading out their fire so all the units live longer.

*Attack from more than one side. The Swarms will focus on one group and not the other, letting themselves be damaged.

*Lure them back to a base protected by Medium or Large [[Base Turret]]s. The Turret's heavy machine guns rip apart the Swarms.

==Appearances==

Flood Swarms appear on the level [[The Flood (Level)|The Flood]] in [[Halo Wars]]. They can also be found on the multiplayer map [[Release (Level)|Release]], as part of the third wave of Flood released from the containment facility.
