I know the Covenant are mad and all about an armada being killed, but don't you think the flood and the halos are a bit more pressing matters? While the flood and covenant are fighting the flood can just come in and eat them or another halo can come in and kill earth. And the guilty spark? None cares he is running about space humming like mad trying to activate all halos or something like that?
I think stoping destroying all life in the universe would be higher on the to do list. Does make for one kick butt game. And whatever happened to "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"?

the flood are -blam!-. nobody should care about them. all i know is that halo could have, and would have, been a perfect game, except for the fact that the flood addeda new "twist"!oo wow!zombies!thats creative!

1. They're not zombies, they're an infection.
2. The flood can't be -blam!- unless they infect a -blam!- guy :P
3. I can't think of number three.
4.Ooh, I thought of something! To answer the original question: MC and Cortana think that the Flood were destroyed, well maybe not MC, but Cortana yes.

Well there out there and so are a bunch of Halos. Maybe devoped at the middle/end of Halo 2 and they will deal with them in Halo 3? Haha Halo2 isn't even out yet so we may have a while to find out.

Uh doesn't 343 Guilty Spark tell them about all the halos? and cortana should have that knowledge from the halo computer systems. 0.o cortana has been comprimized!

No nobody does they walk around steal weapons and get in your way while you strike down some covanent scum with a shotgun and no matter how much you shoot they keep coming back for more.
Also it says their an infection but I have completed the game on all settings and there isnt that many people or covenant on the game if there was it would be just you and the flood and personally I do think its -blam!-

The thing about the flood is this:

1) They were released on Halo 04. More then likely all the other installation are sealed completely, hence why it says they were released.

2) Even if the Flood were released, they dont have the power to escape and just float to earth. They would need a transport.

3) The flood are a parasite. To do any real damage they would need a host. Since we have files on them (Cortana) humanity obviously know how to dela with them. And do you really think the Covenant didnt send any transmissions telling about the Flood? Both Covenent and Humans know how to dela with the lil buggers.

And that is why your theory is flawed.


Oh yea and on that the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing, that only applies if your enemy's enemy doesnt try and devour you and then form a parasitic relationship with you, forcing you to do everything it commands.

I'll try and counter Bond:
1. Guilty Spark is still active
2. True, but they don't need to go to earth the blast from all the halos would take earth out (most likely)
3. The flood arn't weak. They may of killed the forerunners and they would of killed all the humans/covenant/MC (at the halo) if MC did not excape and blow the place. And if the forerunners had such a hard time with the flood then the humans sure are and with the humans fighting the covenant it puts them at a weakend state.

The flood or halos will kill us all.

Oh and I was talking about the Covenant being friends (cuz they are the enemy of the flood) not he humans and flood teaming up against the covenant :D

Your do realize your first point is a statment that is against your side right? Guilty Spark is programmed to rid everything of the Flood. Now, if we were saying that Guilty Spark may destroy us that a possiblity. Unless they're are tiny flood inside of him or Johnson chanes into a true flood-like being, Humanity's only problem is the Covenant.

Second the Flood wouldnt want to operate Halo's weapon. It elimanates their sorce of life.

Third, the flood may not be weak, but they still need a host and transportaion. The Flood are animals and act on Instinct. They dont have reason,

The Flood flopped people didn’t like it. Something different in another Halo ring world might be nice, as long as it doesn’t screw up the story for halo 1.

Um Guilty Spark wants to activate the Halos to destroy all their food.

Second, yes the flood don't want to kill their food.

The Flood are smart enough to use weapons and doors and stuff. And as they posses they may gain that knowledge or that reasoning ablilites (they were trying to get that covenat ship active and the Maw I think).

Cold00: like it or not the flood want to eat you

If the Covenant and Humans are fighting for Earth, theres no-one to activate the other Halo's
I mean no doubt the humans have been told not to activate the Halos once they found out what they did, and the Covenant would probably rather keep the Halos as it is Forerunner tech!

Guilty Spark, he's on a mission to get them Halos. I am not sure if the Covenant know about the flood or not, if they dont then they will try and ge the Halo as a weapon, if they do know I am not sure.
Oh and I don't think there is only Humans and Covenat and flood in the universe.

Guilty Spark is active. Who cares. He doesnt have the index. Like Cortana said, All he can do if Float and Stutter.

It sounds like your saying that the Flood are going to use Halo's defenses against themselves. If you mean Guilty Spark, you should change this subject to Guilty Spark is gonna kill us all, because that is a possiblity if he could use Halo 04's index..somehow...

Your right about the learning thing...still there's this question Im trying to ask you. To learn they would need a host correct. To what we know...has any of the other Halo been activated and the Flood released? Not likely. So we dont have to worry.

How do you know what Guilty Spark is doing? I can't even comprehend the little bugger. Even if he was on a mission to use the Halo's, what would he use it on? I doubt he knows of the Seargent, and all the other floods are in-active.

The Covenant obviously know about the flood, unless they lost all transmissions on Halo in some mysterious accident. They've learned their lesson about why not to go to giant ring-worlds.

343 needs someone else to activate the Halo's, so even if he had the index, he would need to find someone else to activate Halo's weapon!
Also to Sweat_Shop, the covenant know about the Flood, you may have noticed there was a few of them around on installation 04! :P

The flood wasent as fun to fight as the covenent because unlike the covenant, they did not have any strategy or way of fighting... they just ran into you...

Well, we don't know about much of the flood's past. But I don't any other halo has been activated (unless 343 has gotten to it)
Well I could argue that it is actually the forerunners that want to kill us (or whoever made halos) cuz they made 343.
If it makes you happy then look out 343 is going to kill us all.
Although the flood would happily eat/inhabit eveyone they could if they got a chance.
Agent X: i think they got blown up
BOBinc: the flood are nasty with those human weapons (see the flood let you fight an enemy with human weapons)

I have 1 question. GS said that "protocol does not allow units of my classification" to activate Halo. So units of what classification ARE allowed by protocol? It does not seem likely that GS would allow an elite or any other covenant member, for that matter, carry the task out either.

It seems to me that only humans were "qualified" to activate Halo. If that is true, why would the Forerunner leave behind Halo rings that only humans could use?


If I am right about only humans being able to activate Halos, then we don't need to worry about The Flood for now since no human would activate one of the rings (unless tricked by GS).
