What is with the flood? When I was playing Halo thinking that the only enemy that I would have to fight would be the Covenant. Then millions of these little things come out and monsters with like 20 arms. I'm like what is this? Also where did the name of the flood come from?

I'm to lazy to explain what they are, but they are named the flood because there is so many of them. I've been wandering myself, what were they feeding on while they were contained all these years? And what about the original flood? All the other Flood are mutated/infected convenant and humans right?

P.S. I haven't read the books but I plan too.

The flood don't need food to survive - they go into hibernation. After the last outbreak and the subsequent firing 101 000 years ago or so, they had no food so they retreated into hibernation on the Haloes.
