I was running around the Cairo Station on "Easy" for site seeing purposes. I looked at one of the crates and saw the "VX-07..." I pumped the sharpness up on my TV to see the blurry text to reveal that it said "VX-07 Nerve Gas". Im guessing they wanted to use this stuff against the Covenant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_gas is a toxic aresol compund that is extrmely toxic (im callin out to all 24 fans right now). Human forces could use this to kill the flood just as long as we had gas masks on.

Another soltution is a weapon called a Neutron bomb http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/intro/neutron-bomb.htm which can be fired within a contained area. This weapon could basicaly be fired at a building and kill every living person in ti within seconds. This could be used as well. Heck...mabye that is what the halos fire

You know, that wouldn't make the Halo games any fun just killing them from a distance. You want to get up close so you can make sure they see that you're the one who killed em. It also gives you the chance to deliver some catchy one-liners.

Would the Neutron bomb make an explosion? If so, then no, it's not what the Halos fire.

We don;t know if VX would be effective against the flood. And Humans would have to wear more than gas masks, becuase it doesn't take much VX on your skin to kill you.

It wouldn't

And if it would we still couldn't defeat them. They multiply and attack at a rate humans can't fight.

The flood to learned pilot human and covie ships and machineary in a few hours, I'm sure they could find a way around any attack we can think up.

Basically the Halo plan is the best way to exterminate them.

the flood take over a host using a buch of cerbral stuff. Nerve gas kills that so it would be super effective. Not to mention it kills nost organic compounds

EMPs and such knock out / fry all energy based and magnetically powered things. So MAC cannons, shields, etc. would be blown, and then your pretty much -blam!-. This is why humans hardly resort to nuclear powered weapons.

my guess is to include the gas into rounds, like the newly built nuclear rounds. you give it to units wearing a good armor, and when the round hits the target, a small yet effective doese of the gas is liberated in the enemy; this makes sure the flood cannot use this corpse again

a neutron bomb is a type of nuke. It's called a neutron bomb because the nuclear reaction creates a lot of neutron radiation. Neutron radiation is extremely volitile...not that other radiation isnt.

the nerve gas would kill them if we were being realistic here. vx nerve gas shuts down the nerbous system (your brain is a part of this) and since the flood need the hosts brain, BAM! problem solved.

ok, so it kills the host, now how do we deal with the flood

  • 05.20.2006 8:18 PM PDT

Well they were collection the gas for reason. I read about the blips of covenant ships near Saturn the giant gas planet. Has to be a reason why, especially since Cairo was at a gas planet I thought.

Well since the flood are already dead I dont think it would kill them. It would kill the covies except for the grunts since they have the gas mask's on because they dont breath air, they breath methain.

the point of the halos is not a primary offensive, but a last resort. The forerunners used all those methods, but those failed to eliminate the flood, so they resorted to the only way to kill the flood, halos. Geez guys, just watch the cinematics in Halo 2, they explain everything.

The nerve gas would work, as it would crush the hosts nervous system, which allows the flood to infect and stay alive. When the host body dies, the infection flood dies along with it.

But bullets work just as well. Explosive rounds all the better...
