Would there be new species of the flood in H3?

We will most likely see a brute flood form. Think about it. Brutes were never exposed to the flood until the flood infestation of High Charity began. It takes about 24 hours for the flood to gain full control of a host's body, and it seems to have taken only half that time for the flood to fully envelop the city. So yes, I'm pretty sure a new form of flood will make its apperance in Halo 3.

there should be a flood form for every species of friend and foe you find. like elites and humans of course, but what happend to the jackals, brutes, those flying thingies, and hunters. ooooooo, yes hunters would be cool in flood form.

Hunters don't have calcium in their bodies, and thus can't be infected.

some aren't as suitable for infestation, like the jackals and grunts

hunters are made up of millions of worm-thingies, it would be insane to see how an infested hunter would look (if it can be infested :/ )

I am...whimsical today.

Brutes also have a tough hide, which makes them very difficult (impossible?) to infect.

I think the only new addition we will see is the flood Brute.

  • 06.30.2006 11:08 AM PDT

We don't know that for sure, Guscon. The Brutes have only recently been open for the Flood to question. The flood may have skipped over them for something they knew would work, but one infection form, along the line, will try and if it works, it'll be the toughest Flood to kill...

Also, I honestly hope that Flood Juggernaughts are in it. But I also hope they are rarer, and the first time you see them should be when you're entering a room where a Hunter is prepared to fire, and out it comes and beats the crap out of the Hunter.

As said in halo when the flood was introduced..... teh flood do not think they just act. they try to live of other life forms so there is no saying that they may take the brutes as hosts since they were not in halo. as said alreasy it takes a while for them to form so brutes may get effected in halo 3

Yes. Flodd are much like zombies. They just act. The only reason they seem to know what to do is because the Gravemind controls them. Without him, they would be on there own.

EDIT: which leads me to believe you'll have to kill the Gravemind in Halo3.
