Subject: Invisible Flood?

I dont know if this is already widely known, but last night i was playing on the Maw, and i was in the engine room. i ran out of grenades and didnt grab a rocket yet so i went back to the armory, and when i walked in, 2 invisible flood were there to greet me. they werent full invisible, just they were camoflauged but i could still make out the blur of air when someone is camoflauged

i know this. which is why i decided to bring it up in here. maybe its an Easter Egg? I know its not Elites because 1. no shields. 2. had assault rifles.

"Die? Didn't you know? Spartans never die." - Kurt-051's last words.

The same thing happened to me too. No matter how many times I kill them, more appear out of nowhere in the armory.

They're always in the armory. They come from the other door. Dont think its an eater egg though, just another flood using the elites camoflauge

You're probably in a spawn closet. Not the best place to be in ANY shooter!

Maybe its some kind of glitch? Because you would think theyd appear elsewhere if bungie included that feature

  • 07.27.2011 11:53 AM PDT

Theyre supposed to be there. bungie put them in there.

Its a part of the game, irrigardless of whether or not they are elites they can still get the cloak. The master chief gets it and hes a human, not nowing how the tech works can help explain why we dont know who can all get it. Plus, there the flood, if your read any of the books or pay any attention to them in the game they adapt and use tech. That should be plenty to explain whats going on.

1. no shields. 2. had assault rifles

1. Not all the infected elites have shields.
2. The flood adapt tech, I have personally witnessed an ELITE flood bend down and pick up an assault rifle.

that room always has them

  • 07.28.2011 2:24 AM PDT

Friggin deal with it

They're supposed to be there.. They were infected Spec-Ops.

THATS MY COOL MAN I CAN'T TAKE IT OFF!

Yep, they come from the far door. Unfortunately, at least in my experience, they only come out when you leave, so you have to almost have to trick them into coming out. It's weird.

I remember being in the armory as a kid and they scared the hell out of me. Every since then I get in and out of that room as fast as I can.

Yes I have known about the armory cloaked flood for a long time. Nothing special about them really. Just shotgun them and they fall like every other flood in CE

I've encountered six of them. They're located in the door opposite of where you came in from. You can enter it as well.

WoW I've played CE for ages and never noticed them. Then again during the Maw I could never work out where the armory room is. Pointers anyone?

exit the entrence room the way you came in from, walk through the hall for a little, then you will start to see arrows on the ground saying ARMORY, just follow the arrows

Those flood are there to catch/harrass/kill the following MC types:

1-The unwary, who linger too long in the armory in one stay
2-The unskilled, who have to keep coming back to the armory for more rocket reloads
3-The inattentive, who just do not pay attention to the things that go bump in the night

They spawn out of the small room at the back of the Armory but only after a certain amount of time has been spent in the armory, either in a single stay, or accumulated through multiple visits. People who get in the habit of going back into the armory because they can't shoot straight with a rocket launcher do not expect to be attacked in pretty much an empty room, so Bungie, being sadistic (but in the good way) made sure that certain playertypes would have some extra fun waiting for them! They do eventually run out, I have killed a dozen max, in and out of the room (you can shotty them through the door, turn on your light and you can see the forms milling about once they have spawned).

no. they're supposed to be there. the flood took over the bodies of some invisible elites and now they're invsisble. I know exactly what your talking about, I've seen them too.
