recently i have been seeing a lot of posts over the web saying that the flood are 'virulent, all powerful' blah-blah- blah....
i think the only reason the flood were such a threat to the FRs(forerunners) was because they were trying to protect other races.

Quote:Puzzling. You brought such ineffective weapons to combat the Flood, despite the containment protocols .showin that they HAD effective weapons agaist la flood.theres another quote about the armour mc was wearing was a class two coparing to the class15 needed to beat the flood.that shows that the FRs had the weapons.and also the flood have only been found on halo nowhere else atesting to the FRs sucess. bottomline: the flood have enough power to hold out for a while. the only reason the frs didnt win was the fact that they didnt stoop to glassing planets. unfortunately they had kept samples , causing a problem for mc

Yes they had the tecknology. But when the flood infected them, they had the tecknology too. So it was only a matter of time.

when the census came around, for religion I put Bungie.

I agree with vick. the flood were infectious so they could infect FRs and take over thier tech.becuase I get the feeling that the flood are a hive type of mind so when one of them knows somthing they all know it.

but still i think the FRs should have been ale to contain the flood.its like stargate : the war between ancients and wraiths ,it isnt a greatly developed story.and i dont think we will learn more about the frs (they need to have an air of mystery)maybe we may learn more in the books

Flood probably sent thousands in to take over a FR base or something so that the FRs couldn't stop them. Good to see I'm not the only Stargate fan!

The only reason the flood are found only on halo is because when the forerunners activated the rings, they killed all of the food. Which means the rest of the flood died. 343 Guilty Spark says, I think it was in the book, that he was glad some of the infection forms survived to reproduce. When you starve an entire species to death, normally there is nothing left. The only reason there are any Flood is because the forerunner's built the Halos to study and protect them (only God knows why they would want to protect them). oh and technology means nothing against a determiend enemy. Think about the American Revolution. The British had more technology, training and troops and they still lost.

that was different, but the point is the FRs should have been able to contain the flood. its done everyday, for example ine area of a country could be isolated from the other, say nothing about planets when any ship exiting the atmosphere could be followed and destroyed .the FRs were just stupid in protecting the flood.even though the so-called potential was limitless or so somepeople theorise

well you both are not the only stargate fans you guys are right the fr's should have been able to defeat the flood but with the flood they has unamagable numbers think if every human and animal on earth became flood. Even if the fr's had better weapons they could only hold out for so long becauuse remember there alwars has to be amo plasma you get the diff

Sorry, that's a bit unreadable for me. I think you're saying that the Flood would eventually win because of large numbers and the FRs running out of ammunition......Probably true.

The Flood are belong to us.

Elites, Spartans, Flood... They're all the same.

They all end up falling to me!

There is always one last weapon against the flood.

Noah built the ARK to save humanity from the FLOOD.

just saying.

Forunners probably could of destroyed the flood. But since it was their creations they felt compasion and wanted to quaranten them. then the flood used their tec against them. And the only way to stop them were create halo

The flood aren't a hive type of mind, yes they are all controlled by Gravemind but they take the knowledge to use weapens directly from there host and don't share it with the other flood.

The Flood vs. Forerunners

Flood wins.

Forerunners are extinct and Flood are still alive. Or are they?
