right... and what exactly are flood... its human/alien DNA... is it not..... it is a parasite... meaning it is integrated to your body.... once it has mutated you.... you're done for.... there would be no way to actually kill the flood.... unless you somehow god forbid... did what???? Kill all existance known to man god or anybody/thing in this dimension... and hope they aren't the type of people who actually starve themselves to death to... well you know.... look better\


*edit*
why do you think it is called the ARK?????
Noah's Ark.... saved Noah and 2 of each species of animal from the Flood.....

So you would guess that this ARK... was in a safezone between the Halos' firing ranges????

No, the rings did what they were supposed to do, but the Flood went into Uber-hibernation and life evolved, for the purpose of the story, into a sentient state...

In order to kill off the Flood themselves, you would have to eliminate every single particle of them that every existed - this would entail killing anything alive, whether it is plant, animal, virus, bacteria, fungi, etc. and would be virtually inpossible. Nothing would be able to exist at all afterwards.

Yes, they should have, but then we wouldn't have Flood to fight, now would we...

The job of the Halo's is to kill anything large enough for the flood to feed on, play through Halo again...

technically... the JOB of Halo is to provide a fun, relaxing Family Environment that seats up to 16 players via Xbox Connect, and Xbox Live

the Plot of the game is to kill all possible food sources for the Flood....

yeah...lol JK

the halo weapon system doesn't kill the flood directly. it kills any food source for the flood. animals, humans, covenant, Mel Gibson, things like that.

so when the rings were activated and used by the forerunners, the "blast" didn't immediatly remove the flood. it merely removved the flood's food supply, effectlively chozing the spread.

now the flood could've survived in some unconcious/comatose state much like hibernation, to wait for another food source.

enter the covenant and tasty little grunts. there's your plentiful food source.

cue the massive flood growth.

----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

Technically speaking the flood aren't ordinary parasites they don't need hosts to live off. They are fungus. They can feed off metal (creating rust hence rust in quratine zone) , they can feed off dirt and many other things.Think a Yeast ( a fungus)infection.Fungus inject spores into it's host. The flood inject spores into it's host to mutate them. This is also why guilty spark thought you were smart for bringing your suit along as when the enviroment changes there is alot of spores in the air. This is how alot of humans changed so fast in the qurantine zone with out any flood around. Any ways it's obvious the forerunners kept them alive for a reason or some one or some thing has been keeping them alive. Now who would want to keep the flood (sins) around? The very same being that would want cortana (the prostitute) to meet up with Gravemind ( one of the four beasts). The very same being that arranged the false prophet (Truth) to be deluded into making all fall with him threw the path way to hell. The very same being that released the flood.

Life cannot evolve from non sentience (bacteria) to the covenant or humanies current state in 100,000 years.There was obviously a plan for Noah ( A sp'ht ) to revive life. Think about it bungie fans? In marathon the s'pht questioned if they were even sentient. All they knew is the jjaro ( An angel of god from what I can tell) molded them to metal taking away alot of there biomass. Besides that the s'pht were said to have used a parasite type thing against the pfhor. This parasite was orginally named a "fungus zombie" but we never get to see it besides in concept art but not in game. How ever the concept art of the fungus zombies looks quite identical to the flood combat forms.

In all senses the flood is a fungus Zombie and matches the descripion of what and how a fungus infects a host down to the letter. The s'pht were the forerunners..The s'pht took the place as Noah. The s'pht brought back all life threw DNA sequences stored in the library after halos effected wore off. Old marathon fans realized from the first halo screens (long long ago) that icons on the doors of halo matched that identically to that of marks on s'pht doors in marathon. The forerunners were the eleventh clan.

Yeah, i didn't know that you had to be a bug to be a parasite.

Parasite:
An organism living on or in, and obtaining its food from, its host, another living organism.

ehh.... my bad.... on the parasite fungi thing....
lolz.... yeah... anyhow...
nice detail and oldschool gaming info... props....

i mean to make all of this complimentary... any derogatory statements you might recieve whilst reading the above passage-s is purely coincidental


*EDIT*
Bugs are not the only parasites.... a parasite gains from another organism while it harms that host organism so.... the only actuall parasitic flood would be the carrier form... mutilating it to the floods own benefit in order to creat more flood.... and in the end killing that carrier forms actuall organism self.....

I changed my post thats not what I ment to say. My point was the flood don't need a host to feed things like metal and dirt can feed them. They are not like a regular parasite this is why they didn't starve. This is why the flood cannot be eliminated.

New to forums, possibly new to Halo, or just havent payed attention to the game.

The Halo rings were biult by the forerunners to contain the flood outbreak. This was hard to do with many beings of suffeicient biomass to be turned into a flood combat form, then later into a carrier form.

Since there is 2 ways to kill the flood, starve them and shoot them all, they decided upon the msot efficient and easiest way to stop the flood. Kill anything, and everything of sufficient biomass.

This is what the Halo rings did. Starved the flood. But it would take millions of years for them to actually starve to death since they can go into "Uber-hubernation".

Now, when the covenant released the flood they gave them a new food source meaning that the 100,000 years they spent starving is now worthless.

Now the flood have entered high charity and may once again start to dominate all species in the galaxy.

... well... actually they were in hibernation/coma.... like in tremors 3... the butt-blasters ate the high protein ham... went into a coma.... flood didn't eat enough... went into a coma... only to be reawakened by the fungal form of the said parasitic fungi... when an grunt/jackal breathed in the spores... became a carrier form... and well the rest goes from there...

  • 05.16.2006 8:33 PM PDT

What the hell do you think halo does. It kills all lifeforms that the flood will feed on. Cause like that guy up there said the only way to kill the flood is to starve them. So they built the damn thing right its just not a weapon they really want to use(cause it kills them and all humanity including covenant and whatever else might be out there).

They built it to the best of there ability the flood as all fungus does found other means to get nutrients. Nothing can hybernate for that long it's just not realistic.
