Worst part is you don't even need to see them. A single spore can infect you without you knowing and lay dormant until you've moved to a higher populated area
Have you considered do a halo book story retelling on this channel? I’ve just recently started reading the books in order and I’ve been loving all of them so far. I just finished the Cole protocol and reading it has been a blast. I’m amazed at how much better the books are than the games and I love most of the games.
There are several retcons that happen in both the books and games that are later explained in a different book. One such example is the Fall of Reach versus Halo Reach. Both tell the same story, but there are also differences that contradict each other, like was the Pillar of Autumn on an outbound flight from Reach when the Covenant attacked (book) or were they still on Reach getting resupplied (game) there is also a graphic retelling that helped to solve some of these contradictions by say that both happened. First, the Autumn was outbound when Reach was attacked, and it was later forced to the ground to resupply and to help get survivors of the planet. Again, if something doesn't make sense immediately, it was most likely retconed and corrected later.
11:39 Y'know, how *would* Biofoam react to a Flood Infection and vice versa? Would its expanding nature effectively clot the Flood Cells within the foam preventing physical contact? Would its medicinal properties combat the Cells antibiotic like? How would the Infection in turn combat the Biofoam?
I don’t think Biofoam would do anything. The flood cells attack the nervous system and given that your body is literally covered in nerves it’s pretty much pointless. All the cell has to do is send their frequency through your nervous system to begin the transformation.
Typically, the infection spreads and mutates the body too quickly for bio foam to even be considered, and even if it did have some kind of anti flood properties, it's not like the victim could actually have the limb control to use it.
Actually, they Succeeded, if at an Extreme Cost, as it has been Confirmed in the Lore that High Charity has been Entirely Cleansed. After the Wrecked City-Ship was Cleansed, Atriox used a Forerunner Communications Device to Contact Escharum. He then had some of his Troops Raid the Anodyne Spirit for Slipspace Crystals, which were used to Activate the Portal Below Castle Base on Reach. That is how he Returned to the Galaxy between Halo Wars 2 and Halo: Infinite.
If people like you were the ones that helped make the next HALO, it would be awesome again. I grew up with HALO. Dad ran a generator to keep the fridge and freezer cool, and I used that time to be able to play it when an ice storm killed power for 17 days. It’s nowhere near the same anymore. Thanks for what you do!
That.. Well done. Well done. I won't lie, I was.. *really* invested. Thank you overactive imagination, fueled by knowledge of the games and books of a Franchise that I hold dear to my heart.
I love these short stories about the flood so much they really paint the picture of just how horrifying they are. Especially when they get ahold of you and they will get you
You know it the insurrection has never really played a role in any halo game it would be interesting to see a spin off or side game that deals with them weather you are fighting them or apart of them or have to team up with them for a temporary truce to fight a greater foe.
As always, your videos are so good. Full of interesting content and your tone of voice is so relaxing and calm. Probably the thing that I appreciate the most of you British. Calm, professionalism, good manners, excellent. 😌👌
I absolutely refused to play the Flood levels in Halo 2 when I was a kid. I was too scared to play them. Now they are some of my favorite levels and I can replay them over and over.
What i wanna know is where are those spartan 4s ik most probably infected but daym a spartan 4 in mjolnir then given even more beyond super human strength from the infection 👁👁
Excellent little short story 00. It definitely scratched that spooky itch I've been missing for a while. Due to the lack of content I've also started making up my own short stories set in the Halo universe. Are they cringe? Probably. Is it the only substance us lore nerds will get for a while. Also probably.
The one method of infection that we don't see ever because it's not something that is in the same universe is what happens when someone who's infected by a spore say contracts the flood infection while being face hugged by the Alien parasite. Xenomorphs can take DNA from even diseases from their house and they have done so canonically a couple of times so basically what I'm suggesting is that a flood alien isn't impossible but it's still subservient to the xenomorph hive until the queen is dominated later and I think the flood is capable of doing that though not by infection. The flood supercell can cohabitate a xenomorph if both share the same host
Also, you know what? Halo is a wonderful game and universe that have a community so good that everyday create new content for this universe. I want to do something like this for Alien. Or to be precise, for my mix universe "Halo vs Alien". I'm sad that the novel is not yet ready, but I just love writing about these things. And the good news is: yes, there will be the Flood in the lore of this fan-made universe.
The idea of making the Flood spread like zombies is bad. Undercuts the very idea of flood survivors when a shield's failing would mean the death of everyone.
@ ooooh! That says something if i thought it was cannon….. aand shows how bad my attention span is if you said as much in the vid. Well its now my head-cannon! Who’s to say something like this hasn’t happened on the ring?
@@noble6470 they probably followed protocols and left before one of them became a “corrupter”. That’s my guess cuz that marine would have been dead waaaaayyyy earlier if there was one in the camp.
Ngl this and Madly Mesozoic's T-rex flood form story is quite well done for fan stories! 👍 I would also love to see a story series with this format if you would ever collab with him. Def suggest everyone hear that story they did about the flood T-rex. Would you be interested and reach out to him?
Anyone else find the Flood infection form falling from the sky weirdly hilarious? Just a little dude going for a skydive, plummeting 🤣
He's living his best life. Don't judge him, he's just a smoll boyie doing his best. :3
Dream on, dream on!
Geronimoooo!!!
For a potato, he flew pretty good!
A skydive of doom 😮 👀
"He's just standing there...MENACINGLY!" *wewoowewoowewoo*
The Flood creeped me out when I first met them in Halo 1. The situation didn't improve from there.
That's the whole idea.
That is the correct response
Did get me too...dusted off Halo CE for some ol' Covenant shooting the other day. Still pretty fun honestly.
Thats the most terrifying part about the flood.. One hit, one scratch.. One single flood spore.. and you're already dead..
No
Unless your the chief, Johnson, arbiter or Rtas lol
Them and the Xenomorphs are terrifying.
One single Flood spore can destroy a species. Had it not been for the Arbiter's counsel, I would have glassed your entire PLANET!!
Worst part is you don't even need to see them. A single spore can infect you without you knowing and lay dormant until you've moved to a higher populated area

Hey! I've been wanting to dive into the books, but can't decide where should I start from. Any recommendations?
@MrTanekron Fall of Reach, the Flood, First Strike, Ghosts of Onyx and Contact Harvest in that order.
@@Installation00 Noted, thx!
It is best to read them in their release order. That way, you can better understand the overall narrative and canonical changes as they crop up.
There are several retcons that happen in both the books and games that are later explained in a different book. One such example is the Fall of Reach versus Halo Reach.

how nice of those marines to gear themselves up so the flood has properly armed combat forms

Great question

I’d love to hear a canon answer for this. I’m sure somewhere in the universe some poor grunt tried to fix himself with biofoam after contamination.
Typically, the infection spreads and mutates the body too quickly for bio foam to even be considered, and even if it did have some kind of anti flood properties, it's not like the victim could actually have the limb control to use it.
Damn. So it was hinting that the Banished were trying to contain the Flood too. They very much failed💀

don’t need this before bed thanks. good luck everyone else
Weakling!
I really enjoy these narrative stories!
The Gravemind's voice at the end gave me goosebumps
I love how it’s even more horrifying than the Borg, as a teenager the Borg was truly horrific, that was until the Flood!
1 flood spore can take out a entire species
That critter in the thumbnail is one of the razor shrimp creepy-crawlies that the Prawns/Poleepkwa in District 9 were betting on like a cockfight
This sounds like the exact same one from a flood examination video. I’m a little sad it wasn’t something I hadn’t heard, but it’s still good.

Ohhh spooky 😱
‘You’re a marine’ …oh fuck
This is why i come here for halo lore
Well done 00, I'm terrified!
You know it the insurrection has never really played a role in any halo game it would be interesting to see a spin off or side game that deals with them weather you are fighting them or apart of them or have to team up with them for a temporary truce to fight a greater foe.
EXCELLENT! A wonderful and insightful offering!
Happy spooky session guys.
Oh please do more story style videos like this that was an AMAZING preformance!!!
Happy Halloween!
Haloween
As always, your videos are so good.
Full of interesting content and your tone of voice is so relaxing and calm. Probably the thing that I appreciate the most of you British.
Calm, professionalism, good manners, excellent. 😌👌
Good thing I’m listening to this broad daylight.
I could listen to this all day. You have a great voice
I write for small games studios. Some in horror genre. Nice job. Make a Halo audio book and I'd buy.
I absolutely refused to play the Flood levels in Halo 2 when I was a kid. I was too scared to play them. Now they are some of my favorite levels and I can replay them over and over.
Thanks for the Halloween upload 🎃
That was really good💀👍
Ya had me there 00, well done
Legit felt sick listening to this 😂 reading Jenkins story as a kid weren't as detailed as this lol
What i wanna know is where are those spartan 4s ik most probably infected but daym a spartan 4 in mjolnir then given even more beyond super human strength from the infection 👁👁

Remember boys and girls. Curiosity killed the Marine.
God this was good, make more flood horror, please
yup that sounds about right
Oddly enough, this also works for Reformation Day (which is also on Oct. 31st).
How does it also work for Reformation Day?
@ their bodies are “re-formed” into something new
god i hate that thumbnail oh my god x) im gonna have nightmare, this gray, translusent flood form, spider-ish ghoul-ish thing, aaaaaaa
The marine would have been safe if he had stayed in the tent
Happy HALOween everyone
didnt you use this story a couple of years back ?
Yep, he covered that in the intro, as well that the lore has been updated
yup it's the old story, but it's haloween so I vibe with it
Ya know soemtimes being able to visualize everything is a curse '-'
Now I’m hungry
Wish 343 cared enough to make us some content like this..but no fk us
Is this just a retelling of the story you made some time ago? Kinda sounds like it.
My god 😨
Spoopy

See, if this was animated and captured the eeriness that your voice carried during this, then we would have a hit🔥you killed this🤝
Why does this sound like a repeat of a story told before
Where was this story from?
My own creation.
@ ooooh! That says something if i thought it was cannon….. aand shows how bad my attention span is if you said as much in the vid.
Well its now my head-cannon! Who’s to say something like this hasn’t happened on the ring?
Excellent story, but not a fan of using AI images
🎉
Why are all your videos so laggy?🤔
Bro wrote peril fetish. 💀
Rip using ai
This story is always disturbing
What about the Spartan fireteam
