==Combating a Combat Form==

The Combat Forms can take extensive damage before being neutralized. Arms, legs, even heads can be totally blown off of their bodies before they are incapacitated. The only known weakness of a Combat Form is its sensory feelers that normally develop in the upper chest region. This is where the [[Infection Form]] has nestled, and once destroyed by a headshot-capable weapon, the body is incapacitated. In Halo and Halo 2, a combat form may fall, only to stand up again and keep fighting moments later. This can only happen if it still has a usable limb. In Halo 2, if the body is not destroyed, such as by an [[Energy Sword]], [[Grenade]] or [[Brute Shot]] blade, Combat Forms can be "revived" by [[Infection Form]]s.

In Halo 2, if the body is not destroyed, such as by an [[Energy Sword]], [[Grenade]] or [[Brute Shot]] blade, Combat Forms can be "revived" by other [[Infection Form]]s crawling into it.

Explosives such as [[grenades]], [[Rocket Launcher]]s, and the [[Brute Shot]] can easily kill a combat form. In both games, the Flood Combat Form is more vulnerable to human weapons, which unlike the Covenant small arms with the exception of the [[Needler]], has something actually 'hitting' it. At close range the [[Shotgun]] and [[Energy Sword]] are the best weapon for killing Combat Forms. A shotgun blast at short range or sword lunge will take them out permanently with no chance of them reviving. At close to medium ranges the [[M6C Magnum]] and [[M7 Caseless Sub Machine Gun|SMG]] are also very effective against combat forms due their fast fire rate. The [[Sentinel Beam]] is also an effective weapon due to its continuous fire and burning capabilities. At longer ranges the [[BR55 Battle Rifle]], [[Covenant Carbine]], or the [[M6D]] work the best against Combat Forms (2 shots to the upper chest).
