Have any of you read the book "First Strike"
MC would not rat out SGT. Johnson to make a cure to stop the flood
So what is the cure for
For if the flood comes back.

Neutralize - to make ineffective


To neutralize the parasitic lifeform does not mean destroy. The flood can survive in a vaccum. They also still have the Truth & Reconciliation. So unless the Covenant completely destroy the flood, they are not gone. How could the Covenant not destroy them, you ask? Well with the MC stealing their capital ship, they may have been a bit distracted.


The truth and reconciliation was destroyed in the books go read them

Goddamn i gotta find those books somewhere.
If they're making a cure, maybe they'll even make a vaccine, which means that you'll NEVER have to fight human infected life forms again! Woohooo!

I have to say that I think the flood are definetely coming back in one form or another. They've already said that another Halo ring will come into play, implying that there will probably be a couple of levels on another Halo ring. And correct me if I'm wrong, but GS says in Halo that what the rings are designed for is to kill all the food supply of the flood, not just installation 04 but all the Halo rings. He said that when one goes it'll signal the other rings to go as well, and the reason they were built was for this purpose. This means that all the rings serve the same purpose, and as far as researching the flood, why would they contain their research to just one halo ring. My guess would be that they would treat each ring like a different lab, each one performing different types of tests. Maybe for this reason we'll see a return of the flood but they'll take different forms than in Halo.

On the trailer yes it does say that the parasitic life forms have been neutralized BUT that could be there just to throw us off like a wild goose chase. Think about the strike team the covenent sent in after the battlenet was disrupted if they did get there and escape or if the Aascendent justice-gettysburg had flood on it from the longsword bomberit could make its way in that is the major point. IT COULD BE BACK.

OK, I believe that the Flood will be back. Why: because the Halo's are designed to destroy all sentient life in the galaxy. Why? To deprive the Flood of food. Why? To ensure the survival of at least some Forerunners very, very far away, beyond the blast raduis of Halo(s) but that would come back and eventually be taken by the Flood.

Now, some of you are saying that why build more Halo's to contain the Flood. Well, if every Halo is designed to destroy life in the galaxy, then why not spend some more resources to contain the Flood. If the Halo's are built first and foremost for the destruction of the Flood, why not study them from those Halo's?

Makes sense to me.

Personally, I think the Flood might not come back in Halo 2 because they're bloody annoying. Even on Legendary they're a waste of game time.. I'd much rather play an entire campaign against the Covenant rather than wasting all my ammo making sure there isn't a tentacled pimple humping MC's leg, just -waiting- for my shields to go down so it can suck away my last health bar like the fun-leeching little bag of pus that it is... Flippin' hate the bloody Flood. Someone should've turn on the damn Halos a long time ago just to get rid of them..

Get it once! you body it totally helpless and usually mangled after the flood are through with you. Read the book when the flood takes control of a host it kills them then reanimates them. Jenkins was infected and the spore controlled him from his chest. he would have been dead without it. the spore reanimated his brain so that Jenkins was alive in mind but was unable to do anything short of bubble and spit. The spore controlles his body and most of his mind. and the small amount of control he had was more than anyone else infected had.

I hate to say it because i hate the flood, but i think they will be back. The reason why is because in First Strike, Sgt. Johnson had the flood virus in his blood, but he was immune to it. And the master chief picked the crystal to let him live, so maybe Sgt. Johnson brings it to earth?!?! I severly hope not. And also, in one of the magizines, I think it was the EGM from about a year ago said that there was an 80% chance of the floods return. There was also an 80% chance that 343 Guilty Spark will return. I hate em both but i guess we'll juss have to see.

IT IS CONFIRMED that the flood will be returning, and I say GOOD. The flood rule, they brought variety, 3-waybattles, creepiness, swarm fighting fun, and generally alot more carnage than thos wimpy elites.

Good lord, yes... the Truth and Reconcilliation. Perhaps the bad ship T&R will re-surface in the sequel. Maybe even in the capacity of my slowly forming "Flood the Covenant" theory. A wonderfully ironic Trojan horse, perhaps.


IF you've read "The Flood" you'd know the Truth and Reconcilliation isn't appearing ever...

The old EGM said the Flood have a 100% chance of returning.

And there's the Webmaster of course:

no flood or anything like it in Halo 2. the flood sicked, and everyone hated them.

Martha-

One heapin' helping of Flood coming up. Any other requests?

And if you didn't like the Flood then you might be interested in this:

Although I think that a close second is the stealth-shielded Flood combat form. There's only one in the entire game - in the armoury in the final level - but I always forget he's there, and he scares me to death. You're so preoccupied getting a rocket launcher that you're not paying any attention and then he just jumps out. I also like him because he indicates that the Flood are intelligent, and know how to use equipment, and aren't just dumb alien monsters."

Which is a surprise. Playing Halo gives the impression that The Flood are dim automatons, shotgun fodder whose biggest strength is their movement in relentless straight lines and overwhelming numbers. "The Flood AI was originally intended to be every bit as complicated as the Covenant, but we ran out of time implementing behaviours and they ended up being a lot simpler and straight forward," Griesemer explains. "We definitely wanted it to be different. We never intended them to take cover or throw grenades, but we didn't get a chance to develop all of the characteristics of the Flood that was going to make them not only different and very interesting to fight."

Which puts Bungie in a sticky situation for Halo 2. Does it implement its intended artificial-intelligence routines, or does it keep the Flood deliberately handicapped because that's what players have now become used to? All Griesemer will say is: "the AI in Halo 2 is going to be much improved."
