Subject: How did master chief kill the flood?

How did they contain the Flood so well in CE 2 and 3? I remember the flood could board ships and stuff how did they get them all into one place at one time to explode that halo and finish them off? Also, do you think Bungie handled the whole "Flood are super important while covenant are second" thing well because it seemed the same formula in each game, you are fighting covenant then suddenly "the flood are here to make everything gross! run!" and then you blow something up.

When Chief fires the ring it tears itself apart, thus destroying the flood.

Delta Halo (Halo 2) never blew up. The Flood took over High Charity and crashed it on the Ark where it was out of range from the Halo installations.

yeah i know but i thought the flood were like boarding ships with slip space things and going everywhere how did he lead them into one spot? I always assumed there was an explanation but i didn't understand.

how do they know there aren't still infected ships that flew in different directions?

The fiction mentions the Elites spending a lot of time fighting the flood around Installation 05.

I was speaking in terms of Halo 3.

Progo, Shrew, Chryso, all are the same.

I believe the flood is still around... Just not in a dangerous form.

There is no ''not dangerous form'' for flood, all and every flood form is dangerous.

A single flood spore can destroy species.

That's the fiction he is talking about, the Elites keep a blockade around High Charity while Truth and the Brutes head to Earth.

I know what the Ladies like...

Well each ring contained flood in like a hibernated form. How they managed to kill all the flood was I assume when gravemind heard that there was a plan to do with the ark he followed because the plan would kill the flood so I'm going to assume he sent all the flood he had (except ones on earth and delta halo) to fight on the ark to stop this plan. Therefore all the flood would be killed as High charity, the ark and installation 04b were destroyed. The flood on delta halo were all glassed and now the place is barren. Note the gravemind also left delta halo.

Edit: the plan was I think by cortana sending the message in the cutscene after flood gate it was a bait to make gravemind mobilize his army so he took the bait leading his empire to one spot.

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

Gravemind (or the Primordial at this point) didn't know about the new Alpha Halo, until John got Cortana back. I see it this way, he went "all in" on the Ark, and didn't bother spreading out among the galaxy once he broke the Elite blockade at Inst. 05. Once Inst. 04-2 fired, it destroyed itself, ruined the Ark, and killed all flood within 25K Light Years. (I suspect that Mendicant Bias is working to repair the Ark, tho. Cortana speculated that they only damaged it, not destroyed it.)

On a side not, I hope 2401 managed to get things back in order over on Delta Halo, and wasn't flat-out killed by GM.

If you break down any scifi/fantasy/fiction to that simplistic analysis then they all feel repetitive, non-innovative and story-less.

Well the Flood in CE never left the ring, they probably died when Chief blew up that ring, but The Flood from installation 05 overtook High Charity and then crashed it into the Ark, Master Chief killed that Flood by activating the new ring 04 that was newly built so it wasn't linked up with all the other rings, eliminating The Flood. Why they were so easy to fight is because it wasn't the full force of the actual Flood, it was just the left overs from the Forerunner vs Flood war.

With a few thousand years, yeah. Besides, you could kill it by stepping on it. Boom, no more flood.

Not dangerous at all.

And thus becoming infected.

We are never told that there isn't hundreds of ships flying around universe. For all we know there are grave minds on the other halo. Also it seems that each halo held so many flood for study.

I still think that the flood did not do a wise choice, they could have passed by a habitated world, send flood into it and continue to ark...

Also, how did the flood find the ark's coordinates ? They obviously didnt come throught the portal.

One does not simply pass by in slipspace.

Plus, the Gravemind knew Truths intentions and knew that he had little time to prevent him, that is why he did not concentrate on consuming Earth.

A spore? The Elites in Halo 3 seemed to be able to stroll through them with open mouths without becoming infected.

Lemme rephrase that - the flood are incredibly dangerous if given time to spread. A single spore is not in itself dangerous. (Its potential, however, is very dangerous.)

Because they had shielding.

A single spore is all that is needed to spread. You catch one, then boom. Multiplication of spores, which eventually leads onto nastier things. Kind of like bacteria. But on a much bigger and dangerous scale.

The marines in the very same level didn't.

Yes. But could one get through a sturdy boot?

I'm aware of how the flood works.
