      I think the Flood and Endless are 2 sides of the same coin. The Harbinger repeats phrases said by the Gravemind and Primordial more than once. I strongly think the Endless are Precursors who reincarnated without corruption like the Flood. So they may not be directly related to the Flood they probably already know of them and the Primordial who formed them.

      Yeah, I've watched these videos during the lead up to infinite. For years halotubers said the flood would return, cortana would have logic plague and that it would be epic. I was really disappointed but it taught me a lesson. Don't get hyped. Don't listen to what people online say. More often that not for halo, theory's will never end up being true because 343 is so tunneled visioned on what Microsoft wants for halo and not what makes halo great. There will be no flood, No duel welding, no playable elites, no scarabs, no large scale battles, no M rating. it will always be the same stuff. over and over. Because these people cannot look past statistics. They only care about whatever seems like the best choice to make money not what halo fans actually want. there is no hope for halo within the hands of microsoft. Halo was only ever good under bungie because bungie pushed back on everything microsoft tried to do to it. The only good halo content we will get is from mods.

    I legit dont get the insistence on getting the T for Teen rating. What does it do for them? I promise it cant be because 343 is really shooting for that demographic, because Halo is the singular most Boomer Shooter in active development at this point. CoD kept its releases so "modern" and annually it still manages to keep the newer generations, and same-ish enough with Battlefield to a much lesser extent, but Halo? Nah man, most people playing this game have to be 20-30 somethings, with no hope of ever attracting the young "mothers credit card" demographic.

      Because 343 and microsoft don't realize that kids still play m rated games. They don't care to know this. They have proven to be out of touch. All they care about is following trends. They only care about money and in that goal they blind themselves to what makes halo successful.
      The younger generations don't like halo because halo is not algorithm monkey slop and microsoft refuses to properly milk the franchise. Sure cod has a retaining playerbase but its full of people who don't even care about the universe or games. They just play it just because its a dopamine booster, They don't think when they play it or bother to care about whats going on. COD is not in a good state either, its slop. Sure its successful. But everyone dislikes it still. It will never reach the same peaks of BO2. Would you rather have a bad game series where people can admit its bad or a bad game series were everyone pretends its good? Because the younger generation love mobile game slop, thats how microtransactions have been so normalized because they grew up with it and think its normal. Halo doesn't have to be good for them to like. If halo infinite got content updates more and had bigger content creators paid to shill for it. You can bet it would still be doing well to this day. it just has to do whatever slop appeals to them or have legions of big content creators being paid to praise it because the younger generations just listen to whatever the content creators say.

Its also a rumor made by a known xbox shill who has made fake leaks in the past to drum up hype and it only ever blew up. because people are so desperate for new halo content. It makes no sense for 343 to do a CE remake. Why? so they can replace everything with reach assets once again and disregard CEs art style? So they can insert unneeded additions to CE? why would 343 even care to do this? They are scared of an M rating, They are gonna mess this up if it is true.

    Over the years I have watched every video that you made about The Flood, The Precursors final test for the Mantle, and I always love them cause it makes sense. Like everything that exists within the Bungie era and the 343 era of Halo, it was made to fill in the gaps that left all of us players still asking questions. Besides, the Gravemind himself, has stated that will return regardless of any defeat that suffer. The victory for the Forerunners and the allies at the end of the Human-Covenant War were major victories against the Flood, but to quote the Gravemind, "Resignation is my virtue; like water I ebb, and flow. Defeat is simply the addition of time... to a sentence I never deserved... but you imposed." Regardless of what defeat the Flood suffer, they will always be the Precursors Final Test for the Mantle of Responsibility.

    I wanna play a game where I can play AS the flood. Like an RTS game where you have to take over a galaxy starting as an infection form. It could start off as an FPS and once you collect enough mass to make a keymind/gravemind it can switch to RTS since that’s how they work in the lore. And it would be cool if there’s specific missions/ key points that you actually have to play in FPS mode to take a difficult objective, or make it to where you can switch back and forth between RTS and FPS.

That would mean there’s a big chunk of Halo teeming with flood just drifting through space, begging to be investigated by some rogue spacecraft and/or crash into a planet.

  • @nicholasshealy9040
    @nicholasshealy9040 Месяц назад +1

    I myself like the idea of the Endless releasing the Flood on humanity on purpose as a way to soften them up. Honestly, that is a slam dunk and a half. You wanna bring the Flood back in a way that isn’t super fan service-y and is somewhat relevant to the plot? Here ya go! Just think of it as what Sesa was trying to do to Arbiter and Rtas in H2 but on a MUCH larger scale. We know the Endless are immune to the Rings (wether because they’re Precursors or don’t have a normal nervous system is still up for debate) and by extension that would imply they’re immune to the Flood as well. Because the Flood spread their infection by attacking the nervous system and the Rings kill life by destroying said nervous system. Now, whether or not the Flood will still attempt to attack the Endless just because I think is also up for debate.
    BUT this also brings up a conundrum, why would the Endless release the Flood on purpose when they could just activate one of the Rings? They’re effectively immune to both and safe to say one of those options will result in less casualties on their side. But immediate counter argument to that, it’s very likely Chief and the Weapon know of their immunity and will try to inform UNSC leadership to devise a plan to shut down, damage, or destroy any of the Halo’s that could fall into the Endless’ hands. So releasing the Flood could just be a “Plan B” for the Endless if the Halo’s don’t pan out in their favor.
    And here’s potentially the best part of this idea, when Atriox and the Banished find out about the Endless’ intention to activate the Rings and/or weaponize the Flood they’ll go “Whoa whoa whoa, what the hell are you doing?! Are you crazy?! This wasn’t part of the plan!” and will likely turn on each other. We could possibly get huge four way battles in the next game between UNSC, Banished, Flood, and Endless (not factoring in Arbiter’s forces and Sentinels), that sounds heavenly for gameplay fanatics such as myself.

  • @ElbowThief

    I like your theory about the infinite loop. It makes a lot of sense to me. The precursors were looking for worthy successors, testing species to see if they could pass their final trial, only to have failed time and time again repeatedly after following the same/similar processes. I would love to see how the trial unfolds even more in game in Halo 7 and beyond. Plus, a teamup of the Endless and the Flood sounds absolutely horrifying.

    Man, I missed that intro. Good times.
    Whilst I'd love to see the Flood again, if 343 is at the helm yet again, I'm just not interested. I just know they'll fuck them up inevitably. (although they're really good at designing how they look, based on Infinite's Flood themed stuff for MP) If they opt for a spin-off horror focused game done by competent devs however? Absolutely, I'll give it a chance. I think we're long overdue for something like that anyhow. If only Microsoft and 343 would realise that...

Plus, I can only imagine what The Banished could look like on the Unreal Engine in Halo 7. Maybe we could finally have the proper look for The Banished that we had in Halo Wars 2. I mean, I like the fact that The Banished has multiple clans and legions within the organization, each with their own design aesthetics as seen with Escharum’s boys in Halo Infinite, but I do miss Atriox’s Legion (the Installation 00 attack force that’s now under the command of Let’ Volir).

    o7 Elite intro
    My goodness that Mk V model by Sud looks great. I, really hope, I get to play a CE Remake either way. Classic games (Halo 1, Dark Souls 1, Destiny 1 etc) have always had such a special feeling, this would be such a blast. Especially seeing the Flood in Unreal Engine. I'm writing this before fully watching it because I saw the intro and wanted to comment. But, I see the returning of the Flood happening after something like the "wildlife" getting infected by spores after the Banished being haphazard with damaging the rings or the UNSC.
    I do really like the idea early on though, of power running out, completely unrelated to either side. We see a signal blip that could be dangerous, are told to investigate. We find this dark and damp area with "dust" all around, broken obelisks, spent rounds, scratch marks, but no bodies. Master chief is already weary, but then he begins seeing shadows suspicious on the walls. They continue down, the pathway lights getting dimmer and flickering more frequently. We come across a great room void of light, it might be a pit, it might be a room. We find something to emit enough light to keep investigating, while the shadows almost feel like they're staring at you, waiting. You find a light, bring it to the center, then suddenly... a proto-gravemind is fully visible in the center of a great room with banished and human gear lying all around. But the Flood keep coming so you can't take out the gravemind, and have to retreat. Time goes by and the Flood becomes massive. We then have to hijack a ship with the help of someone, and take their bomb, to the ring.
    My 50 cent idea for a Flood (DLC sized) story-line.

  • @zachtheguy5303
    @zachtheguy5303 Месяц назад

    An idea I had to introduce them in Halo 7 I thought of when working was to have it build up like CE with corpses and blood everywhere, and Chief slowly realizes who could've caused it while the Weapon is confused. Eventually leading to a jump scare by a flood form and Chief is stuck in complete darkness aside from the kinda dim light on a shotgun he finds. Then you have to make your way through darkness with the shotgun whilst flood scream in the distance and your motion tracker is full of movement and flood forms jump out at you through the darkness. All of this would be randomized too so you can never expect when a flood form will be there.

    Gonna be honest, with how you talked about the endless something tells me they're gonna use it to fill that niche of overwhelming threat hanging over your existence and survival of all life that the flood did and have that as an excuse for not bothering with the flood beyond their halo 1 remake. The 343 halo series seems to put a fair bit more emphasis on what came before, halo 4 was the Didact, halo 5 was a corrupted cortana taking over a ton of forerunner tech, and infinite I'm not overly familiar with but does introduce the Endless which seems to apparently be an evolution or descendant of the Precursers, y'know, that incomprehensibly advanced and dangerous race that the forerunners somehow brought to near extinction but the supposed near extinction of also gave rise to the flood, depending on how they go about it I could see it being their end all be all threat. Would love to see the flood make a properly executed return tho
