Flood Combat Carrier Form

The Combat Carrier Form is a Flood form only seen in Halo: Spartan Assault's Co-op Missions. It acts identically to a normal combat form except upon death, it releases a large amount of infection forms

Appearance
While their upper body looks very similar to that of a normal carrier form, their lower body is more similar to that of a human combat form. Unlike the other human combat forms in the UNSC simulation, they have red clothes, probably to distinguish them.

Behavior
They behave exactly normal combat forms do in the game, however, they seem to prefer to have distance between them and the player. Unlike normal carrier forms, they do not explode until death, upon which they release several infection forms. As with normal combat forms in Halo: Spartan Assault, they can melee, throw grenades and use weapons.

Tactics

 * Using the battle rifle is a useful tactic, as it is an instant kill.
 * When one is killed by napalm grenades, it releases no infection forms, so use this to your advantage.
 * The shotgun can be used to great effect on these forms, as it is an instant kill, but be careful when approaching because it is likely that it will back away.
 * Never, if you can help it, use the machine pistols against it, as although you can kill it with them, a large amount of ammo will be consumed.

Trivia

 * It is possible that these are more advanced forms of Flood like the Flood Juggernaut which requires 6 infection forms to function. The infection forms that spawn upon its death could be what was controlling it, but this is unlikely since the infection forms are not the yellow type shown to control hosts in Halo: Spartan Assault.
 * This, along with the human combat form in the co-op missions, are the first Flood forms shown to throw grenades.
