Hey Guys, be nice out there just remember, Live, Laugh Play

Honestly, the flood can't be beat. They infect any life and well kill everything. If flood spores would land on a highly populated planet and with lots of advanced technology/weapons the planet would fall. Many people would become infected, and then use there advanced technology/weapons agianst themselves. The flood is like a library, they have multiple sections, spores, combat, carrier and stalker. They each carry the hosts knowlegde and all the other knowledge that the other Flood forms hae stolen. Inorder to make the Flood extinct different species would have to kill every sinlge spore and form in the universe. Or there would be a cure like in the Forerunner Saga(it was only a hint at the Composer.) I honestly think that the Flood can't be stopped. Though in Halo 4 I think that the Chief finds a cure in a Shield World but doesn't know it. He won't now because Cortana, with her 7 years up, will go into Rampancy and not make it.

Its clearly stated that the flood cant be cured in primordium.
May i ask how can chief find a cure on a forerunner sheild world if the forerunners themselfs died out of the flood ?
Im pretty sure everyone here knows how the flood devolopes...
And for god's sake...Cortana isnt 7 years....She is only 4.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

Rampancy can be overcome though and the ancient humans knew of a cure for the Flood.

Do not waste your tears, I was not born to watch the world grow dim. Life is not measured in years, but by the deeds of men.

The Primordial said there was no cure for the Flood. He may have been lying, though.

Well Forerunners can lie, just as well as they can loophole around the mantle so it is possible.
The one "cure" I guess is having radiation poisoning like Johnson.
And yeah Cortana for sure is only 4, though taken from a clone brain, the leading theory is a piece of Mendicant bias is inside her, messing her right the -BLAM- up

The primordial said it, Chakas heard it.

Giving radiation like johnson had is too dangerous...He barely survived and would've died after four years anyway.

I agree! it would be way to dangerous to give everyone radiation poisoning to have them be resistant to a flood attack we couldn't cure if they were already infected.

Supposedly the ancient humans did it was to poison groups of people, send em out, have them be eaten, and hope the flood population is smaller then the group they sent out to die and hopefully don't adapt to the poison. SOUNDS HARD, but I mean I guess it could be posssible... maybe.

As for the primordial and Chakas, those are the two people in the halo universe that you'd expect to be telling the truth in either of their respective positions

When was it said that Johnson was about to die of radiation? Was it when he "captured an entire crate of plasma grenades"? If so then you must know that the Boren's Syndrome he was diagnosed with was a cover up by ONI for his Orion Program augmentations.

Well chakas wouldnt lie since he didnt know what was happening and why untill he became a monitor.

Flood can easly survive it, flood adapts rapidly.
It has the gravemind that is so intellegent that it can see the future.

It is a cover up but he truly cant get captured by the flood.
His nearvous system is so altered up that it cant be controlled by the flood...I thought that borens syndrome is the result of augmentations.

Error 404:

Mostly my response is no.

You both just said the same thing because his augmentations basically gave his nervous system radiation poisoning and he probably would die from them within 4 years

Well like I said the flood would have to have such a size that they couldn't really fix the problem and they all would have to feed on the poisoned humans
