Subject: The flood, it is so obvious

-Its a MG42!
-My favorite color is bubble shield

I was thinking,if the flood are in this game, it may not be as good a campainge as we might hope. Think about it...

Point 1- If the flood are in the game, and it is supposed to take place on Earth, the flood will have to be on Earth or near it. This means that they would have eaten all of mankind to repoduce. Now if half the plot was to save humans, then there would be no reason to play if they were all turned into fone flood form or the other. Whats the point of fighting to save no one if the only people that would then be left is MC because of his awsomeness and Sargent Johnson because of his ability to resist becoming flood. I would find this unenjoyable.

Point 2- If point 1 is true, then wouldn't we play as the Arbitor agian? I personally didn't like the arbitors levels. They were mostly fighting like MC except with a purple HUD, invisablity for 10 seconds and fighting flood a-lot! I think using the arbitor was a bad direction. If MC has nothing to fight for anymore, then we will play as the Arbitor even more. Maybe your MC only up to the ark part in the trailer. It would suck to have to be the Arbitor and defend high charity or something.

Point 3- You may be asking, well what if the flood are in the game but not at Earth? Well then Bungie would kinda be lying. The way they have been talking and with the trailer, it would seem it would be on Earht. It would dissapoint me and most likely everyone else if it was another 2 levels on Earth then teleporting to another halo. Not being on Earth would make the game be not very good campainge wise, but still enjoyable a bit. You can only play Outskirts and Meteropolis so much until you know to smack the jackal after the sweage pipe.

Point 4- So it would seem the only way to make the campainge aspect of Halo 3 good would be to not include flood. But if this happened, it wouldn't be good since the other halve is destroying the flood. The prohpets are trying to activate it and the Humans and the Arbitor are trying to stop it.

In conclusion, in my opion, i am saying that the campagine aspect of Halo 3 may not be very good or what we would expect. I am not saying that if this is true that everyone is going to riot and it will suck, all i am saying is that it may be tricky on how they incoparate the flood since we all know it will be coming. I am hoping the amazing graphics, good amount of killing and guns, and multiplayer make this last game great if this does happens. It is only a theory and i am not a PS3 fanboy trying to tear apart halo 3. I am only pointing out something that may be a little over looked.

P.S. sorry if this has been posted before. Just to be clear, i think there will be flood in halo 3, i hate them and i think for once they may acctualy hurt the story

Opions may now be stated.

I supose, but why does a decently thought out thoery have 3 posts and then someone says we should play as cortana for the 1000000 time and it gets about 15 times more replys

It is a shame that the less thoughtful posts get more attention and response, either out of sarcasm or flammage. Most people are too lazy however to come up with well thought out answers to well though out posts.

To the poster I believe that their will be much flood in Halo 3 and you will fight them as MC on Earth. Arbiter will most likely be fighting in the civil war against the brutes and whatnot.

Since when has the MC been that lucky. Besides who would he have to brag to about his body count.

98% of Americans have tried marijuana, if you are .... WHOA, my hands are HUGE

If someone took the time to write the post then I will take the time to read it.

Something that might happen is that the flood is just arriving on earth and the goal for the MC is to destroy the flood while protecting the humans against infection.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

The flood will appear on earth, but when they get there, they'll become scientologists and start selling Self Improvment packages instead. CASE CLOSED!

Tom Cruise will hear of this though... (leaves room for a sequel)

Maybe, even at that point when everything is hopeless, there will still be hope and salvation.

Wow, you obviously don't know what a cool character is. You thought that Arbiter was bad, look at the lunging chief we got! The master Chief dissappeared in Halo: CE, then this wanna-be showed up that can lunge five feet. The Arbiter was pure awesomeness.

if you have played halo 1 and listened to 343 guilty spark you will notice he said the forerunners needed the flood to survive, the device could hold some secerets as to why they need them, and 343 thinks of humans as reclaimers and not the covies, this means that they might use the atlantis myths to say that the forerunners made atlantis and that the structure we saw in the halo 3 vid(witch is also in a halo 2 map as a sky bitmap), there is unlimited possibilities, plus the covies are having a civil war, MC might play a part in this

It will NOT all be on earth, there will be more levels there but there will be quite a few everywhere else. The Arbiter levels COULD be fun, but he should fight more brutes and maybe even marines.

This guy is insane, the trailor made it look obvious didn't it? How many humans were there...none. All the more reason to blow the universe up.

...wow. We didn't see Johnson either..does that mean he dies right after Arby asks GS where the Ark is? No. Humans are definately on the Earth.

=========


The concept art for the Ark (structure in the trailer) Reads :

Earth_Ark_09

And in th image, it's openning..could this mean that 1/3 of the way through the game is the 9th mission? Imaging how long that game will be (YAY).

Remember, Arby and Johnson are on Flood Controller High Charity..Gravemind is ready to come to the Earth with some Flood..all is going to hell, unless we can stop it.


But we do need a major plot twist

(one of the reasons Halo 2 was so boring was cause nothing new really happened..Halo had the Flood first appearing, and scaring the -blam!- out of us)

The Spartan-IIIs that Mendez went to train after he trained the Spartan-IIs (Master Chief, linda, etc.) would suffice, correct?

Without something new and totally unexected happening..this campaign will be a flop as well..

..why cant they all just be friends?

Tru7h looks a old gentleman. MC is smart. GraveMind could be smart with cortana. and Johnson too. So why can't they all just sitdown and have some tea? and biscuits.

Whats the point in fighting so much?


oh wait...oh yeah.... the whole war thing.

The Frozen Minority - The most infamous clan borne from the Seventh Column.

They will return and so will the Arbiter, it would make no sence to suddenly abandon both these aspects.

The Flood have Gravemind and High Charity - reaching Earth is no problem at all, not to mention the countless dead on High Charity (plenty of 'willing' soldiers).

The Arbiter has to stop the Ark the same as Master Chief but he also has a personal vendetta and obligation to the Covenant, the Prophets and his own people. He is infinitely more valuable than the MC.

Finally; the Flood are the single most important entity in the Halo series. People need to accept this. They are the reason there is a Halo, the reason there is a Covenant, the reason we are fighting a war. Do not fool yourselves - the Flood are here to stay.
