What hope has this alliance if we cannot conquer doubt of faith
not each other-
If our belief should falter?
But put an ear to the stones of this holy city
Inside there voices echo still:
"Seven rings begin the journey!"

ok i was playing halo ce and i saw on the level 343 and asked why dident the forrunners bind the flood in the snow reagon as soon as they steped out side thed freez up and die
but they put them in a place warm and moist where they can thrive !!!!!

The forrunners put them there to add to the creep-out of whoever whent there. They liked to do stuff that way.

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

Well, as far as I can tell the Forerunners were examining and experimenting on the Flood to find an effective weapon against them. So, some were kept alive in storage, and these are the ones that get released and spread.

Would the snow even kill them? From what I saw on halo 2, they can even survive in water.

If I recall correctly, aren't the Halo's prisons for the Flood, meant to keep them in one place and starve them of their food? If so, does it really matter what the temperature is?

Wasn't there flood on Two betrayals? And wasn't that level snow and ice?

They wouldn't "freez up and die". They're in "the snow reagon" in level eight.
