Flood combat form

{{Ejjjdjdjdjevent enemy Flood combat forms from overwhelming the player, weapons that would normally be picked up when a Jiralhanae combat form "resurrects" are deleted by the game's code, rendering them unusable.

An infected Jiralhanae Chieftain will turn into the generic Jiralhanae combat form character model, which is used for all Jiralhanae that become infected, regardless of rank or armor type. This is a pattern shown throughout the games; Combat Forms are all portrayed with a singular generic character model, depending on the species that is infected.
Regardless of gender, an infected human Flood becomes a male combat form. There are no variations between an infected male or female Marine, because there is only one character model for a Human Combat Form in the game.
Combat forms are capable of speech in an echoing voice. They usually speak for the Gravemind or quote their host.
Halo 3 is the only game in which a combat form can be killed instantly by meleeing them with something other than a Energy Sword, Gravity Hammer or Brute Shot.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary

Human combat forms receive a graphical update while Elite combat forms appear to be using the models from Halo 3. This is most noticeable at the legs, which do not end with Halo: Reach-styled feet. Additionally, all the Elite combat forms appear to be Ultras.

Halo 2: Anniversary

Both human and Elite combat forms retain much of their host armor. Human forms have the body armor of former UNSC Marines while Elite forms all have Minor Elite combat harnesses, much like in the original game.
