In First Strike they made a pretty big deal over how Johnson survived the flood. And how they were afraid he would spread the infection on earth or, be studied or somthing. Master chief said he saw him die, that is why I think he is infected and under control by a flood form. (Acording to one of the books, it says basicly that a flood can tap into your spine and control you body without actualy making you look like a flood form.) Why would they bother mentioning all of that stuff about the sarge if there wasnt somthing wrong with him?

Subject: Is Sgt.Johnson infected by flood?

-S

If you had read all of First Strike, you would know.


SPOILERS BELOW

Johnson is infected by the flood, but due to a rare brain disease, the flood infection cannot take control of his body and spread. As such, he's infected, but the infection is harmless. Or so we hope.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

The said it because the MC also got stuck by a infection form.

Johnson was immune to the flood from a plasma overdose due to throwing a box of plasma grenades. They were going to study him to find a cure ore a weapon against the flood.

They wouldn't bring him back if he weren't going to play a big role in Halo 2 ...

I think it'd be funny if they didn't mention it at all in Halo 2. Like the only thing they mentioned out of tFoR was the name "Reach." I've always kinda thought that Bungie doesn't really consider the books too much. I first started thinking this when Linda wasn't visible in the Cryo Bay in The Pillar of Autumn. I just figured it was all stuff put in there by the author. Maybe Halo 2 will change that, who knows.
