Out of these two plagues, which would win in a fight against each other. They both have very similar aspects. The Flood have Graveminds and Keyminds and can operate technology, along with all the races they´ve infected. Necromorphs have Brother Moons and Alien Necromorphs such as the Nexus among other races they´ve also infected.
The battlefield is... let´s say 3 solar systems that are heavily populated. Necromorphs already have Red Markers on those planets and Flood have minor infections as well. Each faction starts on the edge of each solar system. 2 Brother Moon for the Necromorphs, one Key Mind and 2 Graveminds for the Flood.
These solar systems are occupied by Humans.
Who would win?

I'm going to go with Flood. During the Flood's feral stage, the Necromorphs would give the Flood a run for their money, but once a Gravemind is established, you've essentially got a species that has the cumulative knowledge of everything it has consumed, and is committed to total war. Even if the Necromorphs consumed two of the three solar systems, the Flood would much more effectively utilize all biological mass. Having never finished (actually hardly began) Dead Space 3, I don't have all the facts, but you have to understand that the Flood destroyed an entire galaxy in 200 years, and the only way they were stopped was by a galactic super weapon.
