It has been admited that the flood returns. What are the forms that the engineer, prophets, hunters, and brutes take? Will there be new forms?
What do you guys think? I think that there are going to be a new form for the hunters and brutes, because they are just too huge to be just a regular flood soldier. I think that the flood probably won't be able to get ahold of a prophet, yet they might, you never know with bungie. Engineers will probably be an abundance of the flood population, since they never defend themselves in any of the books, they are just interested in fixing things. Hunters were brought up at HBO, their exposure to plasma and radiation are enourmous so they might not be able to be infected like sarge johnson.

Yeah, hunters are impervious to the flood. The rest is yet to be seen.

Many people told me that they said the flood returning was 100% and GS343 was 80% a loooooooong time ago

I kinda doubt Prophets and Engineers would get infected, they'ld just float away and hover somewhere safe. Always wondered about Hunters though, was it just luck they never got infected in Halo1? or are they really immune? Same with Brutes, who knows yet...sooo much to look forward to learning come the 9th of Nov :)

Ya the flood will come back, its been confirmed in so many articules and magazines. "The Covenant have a long history with the flood" is usely what they always say.

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."

I don't see how if in Halo it was the first time they "Found" the flood. Otherwise if they had encountered them before then they would know not only how to deal with them but also not to release them. Then again one can speculate that the Prophets know but fail to tell anyone else, and they kill the survivors who encounter them.
