Falling into a body of water infected with Flood sounds like Fallout's F.E.V dunking but a million times worse.

I don't... quite like the spore-lore. Considering how everyone fighting Flood in Voi would be infected from inhaling them... heck, even Chief himself would carry some leftovers from Alpha Halo back to Reach and Earth on his armor (and in his body, as he took off his helmet). Now, how about all the Elites, including Half-Jaw and future Arby, who fought Flood before in unsealed helmets? Better yet, let's return to Voi... surely those spores would have time to spread through waterways and air despite glassing of the area. Arguably it would make it worse through convection, lifting spores high in the atmosphere all over Earth.

As it’s impossible to fight against and nothing can defend against it. Like even the Orks in 40k despite everything about them they’d still get infected because their reflection abilities and immunity doesn’t matter to the Flood super given how it works as a infinitely small super cells so can’t be affected and also perfect replication. Doesn’t help the ultimatum that’s the effects of being basically corrupted precursors(screw the new book)(time effects and time makes mold) so they have complete control and dominance over real space, reality and the universe. (In their influence) So like the Trynids and the Swarm would be the ultimate meal for the Flood.

I know this isn't the right place for this necessarily, but I want someone to tell me if this sounds like a good idea. A survival horror game set in the Halo universe. It would be set on High Charity while The Flood are infecting it. There would be 4 main characters who you switch control of per chapter, choices you make effect what happens. These choices effect character relationships, they might get injured, they even might die thereby no longer being available in later chapters. Imagine a Dead Space x Until Dawn style game set in the Halo Universe. MAIN CHARACTERS [Can be injured at many points throughout the game, If a character dies before a level you'd play as them in then you play as Vance in that level instead] 1] CPL, Vance Johnston [UNSC Marine, A battle hardened veteran of The Human-Covenant War] -> He can only die in the 14th level. 2] PVT, Brandon Scott [UNSC Marine, A newer still unadjusted soldier of the UNSC] -> Chances to die in levels 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 14 3] Yek [Kig-Yar member of The Covenant, A jackal sniper used as overwatch by The Covenant war machine] -> Chances to die in levels 6, 9, 10, 13, and 14 4] Bipyap [Unggoy member of The Covenant, A grunt minor meant to be used as cannon fodder by The Covenant war machine] -> Chances to die in levels 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, and 14 LEVEL LIST (Note these level names would not be their final names just placeholders) [The descriptions of each level assume nobody dies before the level but obviously playthroughs will be different based on player choices] 1] Prison Break [This is an interactive cutscene recapping the events of the level Gravemind in Halo 2 where The Master Chief frees the marines, Vance and Brandon are the only 2 that survive and get seperated from The Chief] 2] Seperated [Playing as Brandon, you and Vance must navigate some tight Covenant corridors at the start of the Flood outbreak] 3] The Gardens [Playing as Vance, you and Brandon retrace your steps through the gardens. Bipyap is met in this level] 4] Council Chambers [Playing as Bipyap, the three of you retrace further toward the council chambers where you take the central elevator down to the lower city. Yek is met in this level] 5] Lower City Outskirts [Playing as Yek, the four of you begin heading towards the tower with In Amber Clad's wreckage hoping for a pelican dropship] 6] Sanitation Sector [Playing as Brandon, the four of you must make your way closer to the tower through the sanitation sector] 7] Unggoy Dwellings [Playing as Bipyap, the four of you make your way through the city's Unggoy district] 8] Wrecked Tower [Playing as Vance, the four of you must make your way up the towar In Amber Clad crashed into. The Flood outbreak has run rampant at this point] 9] In Amber Clad Wreckage [Playing As Yek, the four of you navigate In Amber Clad's wreckage looking for an intact pelican. The wreckage is the most infested area thus far] 10] Pelican Down [Playing as Brandon, the pelican crashed just outside the inner city so the four of you head closer to the inner city] 11] Inner City Streets [Playing as Vance, the four of you navigate the thoroughly consumed streets of the inner city] 12] Ministry of War [Playing as Bipyap, the four of you enter the ministry of war building serching for an entrance to the maintanance area] 13] Engineering [Playing as Yek, the four of you must make your way through the near completely infested engineering area connecting the ministry of war with the starship bay] 14] Starship Bay [Playing as Vance, the four of you traverse the fully infested starship bay to commandeer a Covenant Corvette starship to escape High Charity] 15] Epilogue [This is a cutscene where it recaps what happens after the game based on your choices with different possible endings for each character, the "Good" ending would involve all 4 surviving and being rescued by the Sangheili blockade around flood infected High Charity]

You missed another canon time something Flood bit someone and turned them. It was in Halo Wars 1 in the mission "Ander's Signal". ODST: "One of them bit me and ran off... Is that bad?" ODST: "Something's wrong. I feel funny..." After that, the entire squad turns into Combat Forms.

What fascinating timing HiddenXperia to release this video. At the same time you release this video about the Flood infection, is the same time that I got infected by the covid virus that is making me have a fever, headaches, mucus and phlegm since yesterday. Coincidence? 🤒

In Halo Wars, there was a unit that was just a living cloud of infection that mortar units and flood incubation eggs could spawn. They would dive onto units that could be turned in less than 30 seconds. Is that a different variant of infection form or just an aggressive supercell fog?

Yunno, now that I think about its history, its usage, its method, and the strategy behind it: Theoretically any creature (or construct) with a formal and intimate understanding of neural physics could probably utilize their own form of Logic Plague. It'd be no cakewalk, but it might be an interesting thing to ponder about.

You know I want to say thank you hidden Xperia I had to do a assessment at school and you could do anything so I did it on halo and I used a lot of your videos to get my info (and the books) and I passed so thanks a lot for your videos

So... all it takes is the slightest touch... what about that time Chief had an infection form literally compromise his suit and stick a tendril into his spine, because all this video does is highlight that the current flood lore is a giant plothole. Rtas lost his mandibles to a fight with the flood, two open wounds, and a distinct lack of an environmental suit, Arbiter does not have an environmental suit, chief's was compromised. I thought what it took was the supercell getting into the bloodstream, not that it's so insanely overpowered it's impossible for the story to play out how it does, and the assumption with that is that the supercell isn't just ANY flood cell, but something special and specific.

Ahh hiddenX doing what he does best I really hope that 343 doesn't screw up the flood mission in ce remake

The idea of late-stage Combat Forms spreading the logic plague made me think back to the beginning of The Mandela Catalogue, when what sounded like a horde of Alternates were right outside I-forget-his-name's room and making all sorts of noise to drive him insane. Just imagine a generic 'holed up in a secure spot to fend off the zombie horde' scenario, except one day the zombies all start talking to you through the walls/barricades in the same echoey, clearly-understood voice until they convince you to just come outside and let them take you.

@HiddenXperia, would you ever considering doing a video ranking all the halo novels?

rampancy + Logic plague = A.I combat form

How does Flood infection methods stack up against Necromorph infection methods. Waterborne: yes, the urchin was stationed in the Ishimura's water supply in an attempt to infect anyone who drank it, there are also necromorph fish in the books, grabbers that hid in the water of the Ishimura's sewer system, nest have been seen to sit in "aquatic" environments and throw out nest swarms, and finally Tau Volantis was an aquatic planet that only froze due to the machine so all previous necromorphs dug up were aquatic or semi-aquatic. Spores: yes although they don't use spores, instead using bacteria which already grows across everything but using gas from the corruption and wheezers, they are able to make this bacteria airborne along with corrupting the very air you breathe. While the corruption does this passively, it doesn't do so very quickly, enter wheezers. Wheezers are stationary forms where the lungs have burst from the host back and expanded to be slightly larger than a person to larger than buildings each with 1 being described as the size of a house, the more they inhale, the more they exhale replacing good air with air that will rapidly weaken you in a mater of moments to the point you can't move as you struggle while also infecting you. Landborne: Yes, and in a way more affective way than the flood to. The corruption and bacteria infinitely spread even without new biomass as the marker will just send energy to them to keep growing and dividing. This process isn't slow either, able to grow hundreds of cubic feet of material in an hour, this material serves to slow down anything not infected by grabbing it, if skin contact is made, it will instantly assimilate the person by connecting to their nervous system, it can emit gas, and form necromorphs out of its surface in an instant as seen in 1 of the books where a wall turns into a brute in less than a second, and then producing dozens of slashers moments later. This can also be used to form larger forms like hiveminds, Leviathans, Slugs, Spiders, grave robbers, the urchin, tormentors, and more plus dedicated facilities to produce Tripods, and likely more. Biting, slashing, stabbing, and more: yeah, they do this, all of them. The best example is from extraction when Nathan McNeil fought the spider, a walking factor necromorph, after seemingly defeating it, it stabbed him through the arm and pinned him down to the deck. Unable to escape with oxygen running low, McNeil used a plasma pickaxe to remove his arm just above where it was stabbed. However approximately an hour or more later, McNeil turned into a slasher(with all 4 arms mind you) and attacked 2 other survivors although they were able to fight him off. Infection forms: while the flood has at least 1 type of these, it uses its whole body to infect an individual quickly turning them into a combat form. This process as mentioned can fail with age and can't infect spartan 1s, 2s, and possibly also 3s even enhancing Johnson instead of infecting him, these are not issues for the necromorphs who are completely immortal. With the necromorphs, there is 1 form called swarmers which act very similarly to the flood's except they are much smaller and still strong enough to over power something like a spartan, these prefer to enter the mouth and burrow into the spine, instantly turning the host into fodders which are necromorphs that can still use weapons like machine guns, rocket launchers, axes, and more but also alter the body internally instead of externally so that if enough damage is taken, they can split in half revealing that the spine and intestines have been turned into spiky bone whips that weigh 300 pounds. These protrude from both the legs and lower body simply depending on which side was more damaged. Secondly, infectors, these are entire humans who have transformed into a murderous kite capable of gliding at high speeds, fitting through small spaces, overpowering Augmented humans, stabbing straight through people, and reanimated corpses into what ever is currently needed, not just slashers, they can make other infectors, leapers, slashers, pukers, stalkers, and even brutes if enough biomass is assembled to do so for it. It does this by injecting necromorph tissue directly into a body which rapidly grows through it and transforms it into whatever while the infector just goes and gets another corpse. Machines: not quite infection but they can affect them with marker pulses which causes tech to go haywire with 1 A.I. becoming super hostile towards Isaac Clarke, an automated drill has also been used to try and kill him. So while they don't convince them or infect them, they can break them in highly specific ways to help them even just to make doors repeatedly open and slam shut hard enough to obliterate you however they can also assimilate technology directly into forms with Twitchers reversing the effects of stasis units in their bodies to make them go super fast or slow themselves and their victims down at close range so that other necromorphs may kill them. Something that the flood don't have however is the carrier wave, this is a signal from the markers which sends energy to all necromorphs, information throughout the hive mind, corpses for reanimation, and to weak minded or low resistance victims causing them to turn before dying. Note that the marker seemingly have infinite range, they just have to find the corpse or see a corpse through someone's eyes to reanimate it(since that are actively reading your mind, they know where you are and by proxy where the corpse is). Note that this isn't shown in game but in the films where we see that a marker fragment that can fit in your hand is capable of focusing its power into a single corpse and turn it into a 40 foot tall giant in seconds. Eating their flesh: consuming necromorphs will turn you into a necromorph called a feeder which is now infinitely hungry. They remain fully in control and unaltered at first, but as the body processes the meat, it puts the person in desperation mode where you are willing to eat none infected people, it amplifies your senses to the point you can smell people through walls, and it increases their strength and durability as it transforms their tissue into necromorph tissue. They do eventually lose their minds but this took months, and they were luring people away to eat them up until they were locked in an underground facility.

Do you believe we will ever get a blight land or flood world and the coinciding blight walkers and other forms? I do truly hope we do but I am not sure 343 is willing to put this into practice.

it feels good knowing that if a youtuber elevant to me is sponsored by warthunder I can redeem the bonuses bc I got it last week

I still don’t understand how the Arbiter survived his exposure to the Flood both on the gas mine and on Delta Halo. And then again on High Charity in Halo 3. “Plot armor” isn’t a satisfying answer; what was it about him specifically?

343 haven't ever think of making a new spinoff for Halo. I would love if they add new spartan team that happens to be in some colony. Someone have accidentally broke a regular looking vile but have flood spore inside it and it spreads the floods from one person to another faster. It would be interesting because you can lot's of stories and games on it, it have huge potential because I think everyone is looking for floods come back not just on Lesser Arc on Halo Wars 2. I'm still waiting for them to look on flood rather than playing safe, adding Spartan flood didn't really look that interesting if you can't fight it as flood behavior rather than players plays like it is just normal Spartan. Yeah it is cool you can jump higher than normal Spartan and is Aesthetically look cool, but I don't think I would enjoy it on the long I wants to fight Abomination on Halo wars 2 on FPS I wants to shoot it with missiles and Mach Cannons. I wants to fight every single combat forms and infection forms

I was legit playing as the flood in halo wars when you posted this 😂 (its modded halo wars)

Gerston actually did reanimate. After the infected marine bit him, he came back as an infected. Even if it was for a few seconds

Back to the flood, Hell yes.

The Mona Lisa marine that was bitten did reanimate but was put down by one of the other marines after first being executed by them.

13:37 If you don't want to wait, Installation 00 dropped that video less than an hour ago.

ive got questions, but for now the idea of a halo game in water is interesting. new alien life opportunities and flood horror scenes 😮 if i remember to come back after work ill edit this with ny questions 😂

maybe the water on delta halo is flood infected cause mr chief gets snagged by the gravemind in it

Great video but you did miss one method of infection, becoming assimilated into a gravemind/protogravemind

Hate to be That Guy, but did Captain Keys eat some more gas station sushi at 1:15? That stuff had some force behind it...

I get that the Flood is OP, but holy crap it seems like they make the flood more so at every opportunity. Eventually it’ll become where you’re simply within a certain radius of the infection before you become infected… it’s actually kind of annoying tbh

That's why I dislike the biting and wound spreading infection. Too op and generic, plus it makes it less believable that the flood could have been beaten in the original trilogy. Edit It also brings the question on why the gravemind would even use infection forms if regular injuries can spread the infection.

Did you ever hear the story of darth Flood? It was made so powerful and so unstoppable, that they had to use plot to kill it off.

I need a Halo that has super graphic flood infection animations. Halo 3 is aging.

Imagine if the Flood arrived when the Dinosaurs were still around

Could one be infected if they eat the flood, like with samural in black ops 2 or dead space 2

Okay, I don't know if anyone has seen that new extraction shooter Forever Winter, but now I want that same concept but in the Halo universe. Basically, you are a small scavenger trying to survive a massive war in a grimdark near future. But, the game's claim to fame is the fact that, unless you prove yourself to be a threat, the two factions will be more interested in killing eachother. A game like that would work so well in Halo... besides the fact that most Covenant will kill any human they come across and same goes for the Flood. 😅

if it did ever happen again what do you would think would happen if there was another jenkins situation ie a very old and weak flood spore infected someone

In Halo Wars an ODST was bitten and turned during the first Flood encounter.

Forgot about the grave mind infection

Imagine a flood shark

W mans w vid low jey

13:34 Is that actually this case? If not, that's one of the few things I'd (strangely) like retconned, as it would make the Flood even worse.

For an infection here its how fast do we handle it that would show we're good or dead

What terrifies me is that the Gravemind is the primordial.

You should start doing book summaries

you should do a video on arma 3 optre

5:18 oh no step-gravemind what are you doing?

nice

But how did the Master Chief survive his infection in the books? The Infector jammed itself into his spine as Cortana electrocuted it, even a scratch could infect a host and all he did was remove the penetrator and slap antiseptic onto the wound.

Enough about the flood already! Rate the fauna of Halo installations.

The ocean in itself is scary as is I can only imagine what kind of monstrosity would be living in a flood infested water

The flood are hands down the most powerful and capable science-fiction zombies ever. There’s nothing that comes close to it.

I've never played a Halo game in my life. I still like the flood

Yoooooo here within a few hours

I just started with the books and finished the flood I am scared now

Hyper-mind, the flood the size of the multiverse
