Have either of you actually read any of the books or played any of the games? The flood can very easily move from planet to planet. They infest and infect anything of sufficient biomass to sustain their infection. From Halo 2 we know that they learn from their hosts and can gain new skills like pil...

Sorry to step in here, but this has been nagging at me in my mind. Is the transcript from server 1 erroneously named Log5_Transcript or is the one from server 5 wrongly tagged? i.e. why are they named the same even though the first transcript is the "final entry" ? There is a difference o...

That also seems far-fetched...And you are tieing it too much to the known religious event. Bungie is just obviously not creative when it comes to names (no one ever is...probably because creative names sound crazy). Also, without space travel, the Flood would never have happened. How can nature, so...

Keep in mind that Sentience is not the same thing as Sapience. Sentient: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentience Sapient: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapience Dogs are sentient. Humans are sapient. Elites are sapient. Cows are sentient. Fish are sentient. Halos care nothing about sapience; only sen...

I wish I knew who said that. @_@

Thanks.

That leads to more thinking. What about if the Flood are actually the galaxy "cleansers"? What if they are the start and end of life to renew it, like an accelerated break down of basic DNA and then it allows for a fresh new start with new species from scratch? Kinda like an autonomous bi...

Okay...the only reason I mentioned the Brutes, Humans, Elites, and Prophets in the same paragraph on how the Forerunners might have advanced them was because they had the proper biomass for Floods to take them over (I was just guestimating for Prophets). This doesn't make them "The Four Races&...

*snip* You're overthinking reclaim. When they said "...no one left to reclaim it" it meant the Flood had won and Earth had been taken by the Flood. But this didn't happen so their plan succeeded. A better question would be to ask: What did "things" mean when in the server 5 vide...

Too many ASS-umptions... I never said I was Christian (and just because someone points out -- because they ARE there for a reason; it isn't taboo to parallel an epic story of good vs. evil, redemption, zealotry and sacrifice with the most quoted and most popular book EVAR -- the biblical references...

hi, new here. This is just speculation but what if the covenant species (brutes, elites, prophets, etc.) were put in the Ark along with humans to shield them from Halo and afterwards the covenant species boarded a ship in the Ark, sending it inadvertently into space, where they made a society with ...
