Hi everyone,

Now to start - if this topic has been raised before, my apologies, so no flaming!


If there is going to be a new ringworld in Halo 2, as has been speculated, and perhaps coyly touched upon by bungie staff - then perhaps there will be different environmental or mutation effects taken on by the flood.

We know that, as a flood form begins to mutate its host, it utilises the hosts DNA structure.

So therefore, it wouldn't be so far fetched to assume that, if there is another Ringworld, and there are flood, that perhaps the improsened flood are remenants of a different species other than Covenant or human.


Scary.

AND - has anyone come up with reason why the flood look the way they do, BEFORE they start reaking havoc?! I mean, which came first - the chicken or the egg - who were the original and improsened flood that survived so long, before they starting using covenant and humans as host???

so speculate away my friends - I am interested to hear your thoughts.

I have no clue. But I always freak out when I see octopus at the sushi store. I scream and pull out my shotgun. Oh, I hate baloons too.

Good question though...

heheeh - yeah, not really but, for this topics sake, yes, yes I do wig out..... ; )


by the mjolnir - I was laying my theory down tentativley so that pedantic wankers like you wouldn't come in a gloat about how much they THINK they know about halo 2.

I know where everything is at, I come into these forums everyday, just like you no doubt, so spare me your condesention and add soemthing useful to this thread other than arrogance and ego.


now that that is over..............time to run away screaming from some balloons.......he he he

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

You do bring up valid points, my only counter to that is the only thing that survived their "Sleep" were the infection forms. Since the other larger forms need food to sustain them. And before the Covie and Humans there was none, (since Halo was first fired), now in the very beginning of us seeing the flood all we encounter are Covie adaptations, yet further in the game we see human. It is never seen of any kind of another form, save the infection ones and they seem to be your run of the mill paratistes. Taking on no ones form but there own. That is probably the REAL form of the Flood. Now as for the Flood on other rings, I would assume that it is the same on instalation 04. The Flood are dorment and it is ONLY the infection forms since for some odd reason they have the ability to live w/o food yet the larger warrior ones cannot. So whatever speices first encountered the flood and were changed by them, I do not thinkg they would still be around... even the ones that were changed by the Forerunner. My two cents anyway.

They confirmed it? Where is this article? I need to find it so I can read it for myself that I'll have to find the flood again, so that when halo 2 comes out i can buy 2 copies one for multiplayer, and I'll use my singelplayer copy for a freaking coaster! I'm sick and tired of mutants in all these new games.. Half-life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry... YEARGH!!! Bungie, if by chance you come across this thread, take out anything like the flood.. make the covenant attack each other... If you think we need the flood so badly... BUILD A FREAKING DAM!!!!!
