Floodgate Normal difficulty walkthrough

Wow that opening was a bummer wasn't it?You finally think you can stop Truth,and hell breaks....looser.WARNING:This is my first walkthrough so it may not look good.

At the beginning just backtrack your footsteps to where you fought the Hunters on the previous level.Along the way sub your BR for a Shotgun.Since I've never saved one Marine from the ramp when the flood show up,just position yourself behind the sandbags with your Shotgun out.Make sure to throw 2 Frag grenades down the ramp when the Flood show up.Just mow down the Brute forms first then the human forms.If the two Marines behind the sandbags are alive,good job.Go into the building and get your Assault Rifle out and you'll see a Marine run from a horde of Infection Forms.Shoot the one at the ground first then shoot the ones on him.Shoot a full reticule length away from him that way you don't shoot him.When that's said and done hop down with your Shotgun and mow down any Flood coming near the marines.The Infection Forms aren't much a threat if there isn't something to distract you.Head across the factory saving any Marines you can and killing ALL the flood.When you see an area that looks clear,think again.Get out your Shotgun.It's probably low on ammo by now,so take out whatever Flood you can then switch back to the Assault Rifle.When everything is dead,switch your Shotgun for a Battle Rifle and pick the Flamethrower from the corpses.Proceed through the only you can go and you'll be in a room of twists and bends.Make sure you aim the Flamethrower high or you'll shoot the ground and probably burn yourself.When they're all dead proceed to a room with a scared Marine.Kinda reminds you of the one from the first game doesn't it?He won't do anything but say things of how his squad died.If you want whack him or just leave.You'll be outside and you'll get a cutscene of the Shadow of Intent dropping a few Elites.Help 'em out if you can,but they'll probably get killed then infected by the Flood.Clean house with whatever you have left of the Flamethrower,and if you're lucky,you can find a Shotgun.Replace the Battle Rifle for it and proceed.When you see a ramp,I suggest you hang back a bit.Just literally run forward a bit and then run backwards so the Flood that jump out of the crater won't be on your 12 and 6.

Wait till they get close so you can one-shot them with your Shotgun or melee to conserve ammo.Don't worry about the Infection Forms,they'll just pop when they leap at you.

When all the flood is dead go up the ramp and into the factory and if you have a Deployable Cover,drop it.It's a long hallway and if you just sit behind it,the ones with the guns are no threat.Stick a Combat Form in a group,and you should disperse most of them.When they're done proceed forward to the spot where you found the .50 cal gunner on the last level.Get to the upper level and,with your shotgun,gun them all done.If one of them has a needler,take it out quickly.They surprisingly have good aim.When you go outside,you'll run into a new Flood form.A pure form.In it's first stage,the Stalker form,it can do nothing but run around,so it'll evolve into a ranged form,or a tank form if you give it the time.Throw a frag grenade then one Shotgun should do it good.After that,the Elites finally show up to help.These look kinda strange don't they?They're Assault Elites.Pretty cool,eh?Well anyway,quickly get on the turret and mow down any Flood you can.Pick it up and shoot down any ranged forms or tank forms you can find.When it runs outta ammo let the Elites take care of the rest.Eventually you should be able to see 2 ranged forms bombarding you,obviously you should take em out.Maybe throw a grenade or just run in like stupid,2-3 well places shots will take 'em down.When the crashed ship comes into view,just run to it,don't worry about the Elites or the Arbiter,they won't come anyway.When you're inside,DON'T SHOOT THOSE SACK LOOKING THINGS!They spawn like 25-30 infection forms per sack.Just pick up Cortana and watch the cutscene.
