Halo 3 Flood

[Nova Chief]

Do you think there's going to be Flood on Halo 3? Well I know there's most likly (I really don't know), but if they do how would they get here to Earth?

 

[ODST General]

well there will be gravemind still has Cortana, and there was a bunch f covenant ships around delta halo and number of them could have been taken by the flood

 

[WanderingRon1n]

i think on earth there wont be any flood but MC is gonna go back and "save" cortana

 

[Nova Chief]

Why would he want to save cortana, she turned evil?

 

[Monstermaker13]

she didnt turn evil

 

[Nova Chief]

Thats what I heard.

 

[SPARTAN MJOLNIR]

Anything anyone heard is rumor. Bungie hasn't said a word on the subject, as ussual. And yes, I think there will be Flood, just to add some more variety to fighting.

 

[WanderingRon1n]

im glad tho. fighting all those brutes would get boring. i think the differences in the races of who you fight makes halo so good

 

[Osiris]

I think there will be Flood. I wonder if we will have to fight Brute infested Flood. I don't remember fighting any in Halo 2, and I can't really play campaign that much because it always fails to load the levels. I know that the Hunters can't get infected because they're not just one creature, but what about Brutes?

 

[ODST General]

the brutes should be able to, but grunts and jackals can't their to small and they skip combat form

 

[Nova Chief]

What do you mean its not just one creature?

 

[Monstermaker13]

wait..

i thought the flood couldn't use brutes as hosts?

 

[SPARTAN MJOLNIR]

I don't remember anything about the Brutes not being able to be infected, but Grunts and Jackles can, but they turn into carrier forms rather than combat forms.

And about the hunter, It's made up of a colony of eels, all writhing inside the armor, and, I can only assume, one infection form could only infect one of the eels, not doing to much to the whole hunter.

 

[ODST General]

it wouldnt be able to effect even one, since it attaches itself to the spinal cord and injects chemicals in to control the creature or person, then sorts through the creature memory for useful information and discards the rest, a process that really sucks, in rare cases those infected have been known to gain some control for small periods of time (private jenkins) and its unlikely we will see brute hosts but its possible, also if a creature dies it cannot be infected
