Subject: The Flood in Halo: Reach

Real men use magnums.

The only game where the Flood were well executed was Halo: Combat Evolved. In Halo 2 and Halo 3 however, they were just extra, like they were there just to be there.


agreed. at least, i feel that halo 1 was where they were the most fun to fight against.

As Wolverfrog said before, it is possible that they were located in the massive caverns under Reach. If we play as someone other than the Master Chief in a level like that, who is to say you are not a Marine or Spartan fighting down there before ultimately being killed?

Thats a fair point. I just think that, as we know Reach is not a Halo Ring, the flood would not be present there unless somehow Bungie weaves in a story that involves the Flood being transported there from a Forerunner Installation.


The Flood were stored on a gas mine in Halo 2, so that kind of ends that argument :)

ODST doesn't have flood.

Reach should not have flood.

It doesn't fit, and if they spun some new plot hole to explain them, it would cheapen then experience.
There are 11 healthy Spartans on Reach who didn't even get names or numbers in the novels, let alone a story. Since S-259, if he is a Spartan, could only be one of these 11 (from Team Beta), then the story we see will be mainly a new one, so it would not be a plot hole. Halsey said herself in Ghosts of Onyx that she didn't explore the entire Forerunner facility. Maybe 5 of the Spartan (*looks up at the banner*) just so happened to do so. And got chased out by those angry space zombies.
