"I came back to life for THIS?!" -Sgt. Johnson

I really want to see the intelligence and full capability of the flood in Halo 3. The forms in the past two games have mostly been quick resurgence combat forms. This means that fresh bodies are used for quick warriors and carriers.

However, on High Charity, blobs of visceral mass are all over the place, and with the Gravemind, it becomes obvious that the flood can pool biomass and bioenergy in new and creative ways. Basically, without a power source like a sun, the flood depend on existing energy stored and concentrated by plants and animals. This energy is consumed and combined. I think I heard somewhere that some forms require several bodies to complete the metamorphosis. All unnecessary flesh decays and is absorbed, while the bare basics are kept and modified (with tentacles or carrier sacs).

So, given tons of bodies (a Covenant city-station), the flood might be able to craft an invasion force of new forms out of the old. Cerebral masses to guide ships and vehicles, juggernauts to fight enemies, and who knows what other forms might be used in a well-fed flood swarm. I really want to see the more calculating nature of the flood to be featured in Halo 3. They can wait for millenia to reassert a foothold, and that requires perseverence and a plan. A collective that can modify a UNSC ship to pinpoint-jump can certainly do much more with Covenant technology. I would expect a new breed of flood, fed by the biomass of the lesser zombie forms, that not only provides brute strength, but a sharp tactical intelligence and stunning capability for innovation. Limits of modern AI probably made the earlier flood less cooperative in maneuvers than initially intended, but with Halo 3, the possibilities are endless.

Think about it. Well-stocked juggernauts might have capabilities beyond any previously seen flood form. Regeneration, environmental manipulation (throwing stuff), and maybe even more could conceivably be part of an elite flood amalgam unit.

Larger carriers forms that size up to the hunters. It would be funny to those things blow up then I would be dead if that were ever to be made into the game.

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

Floods with no tentacled arms having dual swords.

Jesus is Lord.

yeah that would be great, that would be cool to vs a juggernaught for the first time, and imagine you could put a bot in mp where you could vs the juggernaught with friends u no wat i mean. not only that one but all the other forms 2, at the same time... an army of flood attacking your base on any mp map or campaign that would be cool

sorry for adding that wanted to share the thought, wat do you think?

  • 07.04.2006 12:03 AM PDT

Jesus is Lord.

what about a anicient forerunner flood that was infeccted and turned into a flood before they activated the rings. mabe thats what the gravemind is a forerunner.

I'd love to face a flood hunter. Or some really strong boss flood with a warthog turret for an arm, or gauss. Flood drones and brutes would be very fun to face. Maybe even a flood form of the Prophet of mercy. maybe even Regret. I'd love to just kill flood grunts for fun. Lookout! a charging ninja zombie midget!! Drinols would've been great to face. Maybe flood infected vehicles around the place.

  • 07.04.2006 12:23 AM PDT

Jesus is Lord.

question how do you infect a vehicle???

  • 07.04.2006 12:36 AM PDT

Jesus is Lord.

i read somewhere that Captain keys is the gravemind and that he wants to kill chief for leaving him there. it was supposed to be a written level that was leaked, dont know what to believe though, true or false... most probably false.

how about grunt flood forms, that be mildly funny to me
If I'm not mistaken the walking sacks of doom are infected Grunts.


no those are foold that became to damaged to keep fighting so they just carry around the raw forms.


grunts are to small to become regular flood so they be come parts to make carier forms or somthing like that
