Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

You can use all the nukes you want, but it won't get rid of all the little airborne spores. They would grow like mold and infect us when we breathe in.
I would say that Flood Spores would be taken out with nukes. It's not like they rapidly spread all over a country.

Not to be mean, but you've ever heard of the jet stream? Huge band of wind, travels around the world at around one hundred miles per hour? What if, upon impact of a carrier ship, even one is launched into it? Mitosis would take effect eventually, and one would eventually turn into 4,294,967,296 if once a day it occured for a month. What then?

Jetstreams are rather...limited when it comes to covering Earth's atmosphere.

Anyways, your Mitosis statement is incorrect. There is no food for them to grow and split. Besides, the number you stated cannot happen. For it to work, 49,710 new cells would have to be produced per second.

If it were to survive to split, it would go from one to two, they would split to four, those to eight, then 16, to 32 to 64 to 128. If all spores underwent mitosis once a day, it would be 4 billion spores in 31 days. Try the math:2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x 2x2x2.

Remember Chuck Norris? Just send him to take care of that spore.

For there to be a growing population, there has to be an ever present food supply, and they are sure as hell do not have the capabilities of photosynthesis.

The Flood do not use other germs, fungi, plants, or viruses. They require biomass from animals.

Besides, there is no evidence that they can even undergo mitosis. They seem to just be created from other Flood.

Besides, Flood Spores are more used for suffocating potential hosts so that the infection forms have an easier time infecting large populations. Spores are more effective in an enclosed environment, not open air. Even then, it requires continual exposure to succomb to death.

Forget this. If the forerunners had to commit galactic genocide to kill the flood, and they were eons more advanced than us, what are the chances of us surviving even one day?

Dark Neptune, a young amateur astronomer whose gaming life is no different from other teenagers of his age, though he controls it more strictly then others.

Rob the nearest uninfected bank, steal all the money, head to NASA, bribe them, force them to get a shuttle launched into space with Only you on it, and voila, even when you die, no Flood spore is gonna make use of that body of yours!

So full of hate were our eyes that we could not see. Our war would yield countless dead but never victory. So let us cast arms aside and like discard our wrath. Thou, in faith, will keep us safe whilst we find the path.

In Cryptum, it states that the Humans fought and won against the Flood, before teh Forerunners ever saw them. Then the Forerunners died because their tech was used against them

Oh, we'd all probably be dead within a matter of months. For the most part at least. We'd have to hide if we'd want to live. If you've ever seen that one game where people are huddled underground, that's what it'd be like to survive. Life, would definitely suck.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

We engage it from the air, then nuke the main infestation. We bomb any city it infects, then use artillery to finish it off. We could win if we do it fast and unite. If the government decides to try and cover it up then experiment on them, we're SOOOO screwed.

"Time was your ally human. But now it has abandoned you. The Forerunners....have returned. And this tomb... is now yours". - The Didact

Nope,the flood were able to infect an entire Forerunner planet in 32 hours in the terminals.
Note:Forerunners had sentinels and super armor available

I give Earth 10 hours at the most before it's changed into a flood hive.

@ktan dantakee

Flood spores will spread throug the air and fall at the ground like rain.In a few hours entire human populations are full of combat forms overwhelming any military defenses with sheer numbers.

I think you are joking,nuke evry city and destroy humanity in proces.The largest fail is that the flood willsurvive it.

The Forerunners couldn't beat the flood,the covies were defeated on ground and fell back into orbital bombardment,the ancients humans had to sacrifise 1/3 of their entire population to stop it,yet the humans were facing a less dangerous flood then the ones after the escape of the precursor.

Humanity can't defeat the flood.The flood will laugh at your attempts

Sounds plausible. But most likely we'll have a movie scenario, like battle of LA. The government would take action, most likely nuke infected zones, and then I don't know after that.

Obama would use armor lock and the EMP would get him a bajillion killionaires and simultaneously kill all the flood. PROBLEM SOLVED!

The only way would be to break out the nuclear weapons at the moment it descends, but of course that wouldn't happen.
