and i would LOVE to see the source for "they can move galaxies", I think it was implied they could move solar systems via slipspace but "that is it".


Wait, who said they could move galaxies?


Do you even read before you post? or do you just follow me every where and try to say i am wrong every chance you get?


No no no. I looked back and never saw anyone say that. I saw someone say they could destroy galaxies. So I was just curios.

You tend to post in almost every topic that interests me, and you have corrected me on several different occasions when I wasn't even talking to you.

You obviously dont know anything about flood....Once flood has a gravemind all their victims knowledge goes to the flood so they are learning tactics...new ways...new tech everything !
So your Alterans can go lick my thumb down.

I love the flood, but I miss in Halo 1 and 2 when I was actually afraid of them.

In The Flood MC gets in a fight with a combat form and almost dies, he brakes its arm and it just keeps comming. I miss that fear, being like "oh -blam!-!" instead of "Oh look, another gelatinous punching bag. yay."

first of all, i dont know if you know that master chief is a forerunner.he obviously destroyed the flood in halo 3.so forerunners are more stronger.

MASTER CHIEF IS NOT FORERUNNER.
-blamm!- where are allt his newbs coming from ?
And its obvious that the flood wasnt destroyed as there are some left on the other installations and some on halo 5 ...which was fully controlled by them...
And also we are not sure maybe some escaped even the ark ?
Maybe while the high charity went to the ark and the cruiser landing on earth there would be another cruiser travelling somewhere else...

Agreed.

The flood was better when it was useless to melee them.

And make flood buddies. They were the best.

I agree with you too...Flood was much scarier than now...

I don't think we can really equate the AHE's (Ancient Human Empire) fight against the Flood with the UNSC-era fight against the Flood.

AHE > Forerunner in the sense they found a counter-measure that assured they wouldn't be infected (although the Flood could just kill them, couldn't they?). Depending on how many humans were currently uninfected, this would mean that the humans could combat the Flood without each of their casualties becoming a new host for the Flood and reducing the number of Flood overall. If the Flood outnumber the humans, though, they could just spread through the Forerunner and other species and crush the humans that way. I haven't read Cryptum, admittedly, I only read a plot synopsis (which causes quite a bit of confusion given the events detailed in the Terminals and the events of Cryptum and not having a timeline to place each on; mainly the issue of Mendicant Bias' role in Cryptum given he would have been defeated prior to Cryptum by Offensive Bias) so I am not sure why or when the Flood left.

Forerunner > AHE in the sense that they beat the AHE and devolved the species.

The Flood, upon return, could only be contested by the Forerunners and they had to contend with, easily, the largest threat the Flood had posed. The AHE's countermeasure would only, at the very least, keep the Flood from learning AHE technology. In the face of the largest Flood thread ever, I don't think the AHE would have fared much better.

UNSC-era humans had to deal with smaller infestations overall. The Flood never claimed a single world. The only thing in common between the fight between the Forerunners and the Human-Covenant war battles with the Flood is the presence of a Gravemind.

Overall, though: at the end of Halo 3, the largest remaining threat would still be the Flood if they were to, once again, reach the Coordinated stage. That aside, I'm expecting Halo 4 to involve the Forerunners or Precursors.

I am not sure about AHE but I'm sure that flood will come back even if we destroy all halos and all objects in the galaxy that contain flood the flood would still be there ( flood is extragalactic) and it means flood is invinsible because to kill it we would need to search every meter in every galaxy which is impossible...some might say that the only solution is to find a cure against the flOod but it is impossible because you can't cure a dead mutated man...and by what I just understand from last post even AHE couldent find a cure...so this means sooner or later our galaxy will lose it's habitats.
