suprised the fuck outa me every time. Id hear them, but I wouldnt see em until they nail me in the noggin.

[@butterking1951]

I have one of those at my job finally finished it bout had a heart attack when I saw it

[@saayanbiswas209]

jackals and grunts are very weak for combat forms. Humans are also made into combat forms along with elites. Therefore humans are more powerful than jackals and grunts

[@Hackerman-bd9hq]

Well at least trained soldiers are. If the flood uses what the brain knows to do things, then a civilian would make a weaker form. It would be spookier and cooler if regular humans turned into deformed carriers.

[@Nova-vk5qb]

@@Hackerman-bd9hq some marines are converted into carrier forms, actually.

[@Hackerman-bd9hq]

@@Nova-vk5qb then they were weak? I don't really know, I'm no lore expert

[@insaincaldo]

Guess it's not the size of your forearms the flood want then.

[@goofyahdemoman1134]

Yet in halo 1 every time I see a group or marines, they are always on the defensive against jackals and grunts Covenant weaponry is probably stronger tho

[@kidyomu89]

"given it's use, which we're going to get to in a second" Transport form? Golly I can't wait to find out what it does!

[@TheRageEnterprise]

I wonder if 343 will keep silent aboit the flood for halo 6 and make it a surprise

[@HiddenXperia]

I'd love that! Have us go into the game expecting them not to be in it, then BAM, big reveal with the classic Flood theme :D

[@DavidHernandez-tu6yx]

HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! Do you think 343 should add these flood form in Halo6?

[@IDoABitOfTrollin]

HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! well i mean the flood is canon in halo wars 2 so there's not much to hide

[@myhops]

Sadly they are making Halo more and more teen rated to attract a larger audience and get kids to buy it without hassle. I only see third party companies like Bungie and Ensemble including flood in their games (like halo wars).

[@unscHelljumper]

Jin I know, 7 montes late, but don't don't think that's completely True. Look at Halo 3 and ODST for example. Both games are actually T rated, but because of the Flood and because ODST runs on the Halo 3 code, it's rated T. Halo 4 is also T rated, bit the Composer scene might have convinced to give the game an M rating. There's even a skeleton model in the game's files.

[@slendergaming1060]

This was s really good video, never would have thought of Bungie not letting these awesome designs into the games.

[@medina5129]

343 is worse unfofnantly

[@zhbvenkhoReload]

It makes sense-- but many of them make more sense in Halo 2 than in Halo 3 due to the nature of the missions. They are really cool.

[@noidTV]

Not gonna like, because it’s at 117

[@Лиам-о1ы]

I don’t know why old videos are being recommended but there is so much hope when you mentions halo’s future that you don’t have now.

[@latentsymphony2746]

I would love to see more on the Flood. I find them a fascinating race. My brain's thinking of a massive fight between the Flood and the Zerg. XD

[@Martencell]

I think that Bungie wanted to do that gravemids could have control on flood forms only in a certainly range, so, juggernauts could be some sort of receiver of commands.

[@gulzaarbains7908]

Flood using vehicles Master chief: oh shit

[@ThatPoorSinner]

Nah he would say fuck you that was my car.

[@jamesb1988]

They did use vehicles in Halo 2, during Quarantine Zone.

[@GenericProtagonist118]

The flood is so versatile that any of these cut forms can still be canon.

[@TheGarrett27]

"I will know all that I po- sess!!"

[@Pen_Slinger]

They should add a skull to Halo 2 & 3 MCC called, The Missing Skull which readds the cut Flood forms to those games to allow the player to experience the original vision of the Flood that Bungie had in mind.

[@HisRoyalStignes]

[@sosig9254]

5:37 That concept art looks identical to "The Beast" from Homeworld Cataclysm. Its like the Flood in nature, but uses the bio-mass from victims to grow electric networks between systems. Allowing it to controll any vessel it infects. The result is a flesh like substance seeping out of all the cracks and gaps in the ships, just like the art shows.

[@danielbob2628]

5:32 Embeds is misspelled. Clearly this wasn't meant for the public eye, or it would have been proofread

[@t-hamos9498]

Can you imagine a flood infector form growing growing biomass on a promethean knight to control it?! That would be insane!

[@purplepantsman2920]

I love the idea of the big carrier dude as it would be something youd have to deal with as it would continually remake all the flood you kill.

[@abersan6520]

I think the idea of the Flood Infector taking over vehicles is awesome, its so fitting to the Flood species. It would look so cool to see the infection has grown inside a Warthog and has tentacles that steer the vehicles and other tentacles that control the turret. It'd be like a living Warthog with the original Infector becoming the brain of the machine. They could have done it for other vehicles too like a Wraith, Scorpion or a Ghost

[@spiderz5145]

There’s flood juggernauts in “Halo: Fireteam Raven” at Dave and Busters, it is an arcade game

[@yusufdunphy5402]

[@somethingfoxstudios4332]

Imagine seeing these cut flood forms in halo infinite

[@maximus1992a]

5:25 i wonder if flood would drive better than the marines though

[@Warrior-Of-Virtue]

With the Juggernauts, I think they were going for something like the synapse forms used by the Tyranids from 40k. Essentially, a synapse form is a large Tyranid bio-form that serves as a relay for the Hive Mind to control lesser Tyranids. If a synapse form is killed, it will trigger a psychic feed back that will kill any Tyranids under its control.

[@Lovey_18]

I hate jackals enough. If they added a flood jackal I would’ve lost my mind

[@TerryMeme]

I feel as if cut halo things are so much cooler than most stuff actually in game (i.e just look at Juggernaut flood forms compared to other forms in game)

[@michaelandreipalon359]

In my opinion, they really exist, just only successfully averted from being so in the 26th century events of the series.

[@BayouBoy2443]

The Juggernaut was also included in the Halo arcade game Fireteam Raven. But that’s already well known at this point :)

8:21 .....look at the top big picture....it looks like a halo 2 scarab..it was probably ment to be a flood from of a scarab

[@Alex-pg8zl]

Doesn't really make much sense that the transport form would spawn combat forms. Where do the hosts come from? If they already carried the hosts, then all you'd need is a spore to transform them, not a superfluous recycling process, and if it used the foes it consumed as hosts, then the recycling process is counterproductive. Spawning pure forms would've made more sense.

[@WoodlandFops]

Alex Nightingale could be why it was cut my dude

[@AxisChurchDevotee]

I think it's purpose was to eat dead combat forms to reuse it either bringi it back or turning it into a pure form

[@brycenstokes2860]

I could see the flood transport form being used like artillery, firing combat forms at you from long range while your dealing with other flood forms

[@ruthworthington1635]

I've been waiting for this episode for so long

[@danielmcgill29]

Love this series! keep it up please. also little question for you guys, what was your favourite flood form? Mine is the infection form and I remember in halo 3 I used to deliberately try to make them infect brutes, marines and elites ect. Surely that couldnt be just me, right?

[@LaughingLiftingGaming]

I’m late af on your vids, but just in case you still happen to see these comments, I love your video’s man. Makes the games so much more enjoyable to know all the cool backstories to this and that. I’m replaying them all in preparation for Halo infinite. Thank you!!

[@LuxCirilo]

Sometimes I look down at the toilet and what's in there could pretty much pass as a cut flood combat form, that frightens and amuse me at the same time.

[@random_me666]

Man, I wish these could've been implemented into Halo!

[@vitalhuragok5625]

What about the Halo 3's Flood Bangers, there are videos of it and it was a cut video, it would explode like a plasma grenade if killed and can infect like other infection forms

[@hunterdixon6794]

I feel that if the flood had this type of upgrades in Halo 2 it would be the end of the Galaxy.

[@born2halo131]

you are my all time favorite youtuber, and i just cant stop going through all of your vids!

[@jediwatts1539]

Okay the music you use in these flood videos really creeps me out and makes me have this feeling that I'm being watched...IT IS AWESOME some music and sounds just terrify me to the core and I love it

[@festusdingwand7301]

I actually got excited thinking of an infected jackal form that has a shield in the middle of it like a big glowing eye, with carbines or plasma pistols on either side. Then I saw it was just a carrier form :(

[@acezero8132]

I know it couldn't be helped, but I have a feeling that adding those flood forms in H2 and H3 would've made the games not as boring in my opinion.

[@YaBoiEye]

this is one of the only halo channels that still makes good content.

[@celtric9023]

[@wildwookiedog]

I know that this was from 2 years ago, but the tank form is cannon and was included in halo: Fireteam Raven (Dave N Busters arcade game)

[@Sinn0100]

I really like the 3 legged infector form. That has to be the coolest looking member of the Flood I have ever seen.

[@alrighty323]

If I remembered you can fight flood juggernauts in the Halo rail shooter “Fireteam Raven” although sadly it’s most likely non-canon(nice to get a mega contrux figure of one of the characters). And the Flood Infector might’ve been referenced in an old mega construx set where a covenant Ghost had Flood biomass on it.

[@deat2393]

The flood is the only thing that can make me listen to someone talk about plants biomass and infection for 10 minutes

[@fish8734]

I wanna see 5 juggernauts vs a scarab

[@ShowXProve]

Your the top halo youtuber forsure. And undisputed flood lore youtube god!!

[@baraka490]

The creature that you have at 6:22 is kind of like the creatures from God of war and away so I think God of war on the PS4 and 5 decided to copy ideas

[@orangeinferno]

I can imagine the Flood Transport as Sort of a flood Vehicle,With 2 Weapons kinda like the Banshee. The first was sort of a long range grapple attack that pulled enemies in. One kill from this grew one Combat form pod,You could switch to the Launcher with Y and Launch The Combat forms,and have the AI flood get kills for you. You cannot shoot combat forms unless You have killed with the Grapple. The More people you kill the More Mass is stored. You can Only fire 6 at a time but they will Auto refill depending on your kills. Also To enter the transport you must be Eaten by the Transport,And you cannot leave it once inside. You will Only be able to play as a Spartan or elite again once it has died

[@TheVengefulVadam]

You forgot the Banger Infection forms in Halo 3. They looked exactly like normal Infection forms, but would explode like Plasma Grenades upon being shot at.

[@ps2man38]

The stealth form was actually in halo 3, they just did their job very well.

[@yusufdunphy5402]

Now I would like to say is that while the Flood Juggernaut was scrapped in Halo 2, it finally became finalized when it was added into Halo: Fireteam Raven and this is where the death animation of the Flood Juggernaut got to be created once and for all after a long time of not having that.

[@Xtermenator217]

You know what halo game we need, a human forerunner war game. You are either a forerunner or human before the before the halo rings were fired and you got to fight the opposing race and even the flood at one point. That's the halo game we need

[@RenegadeForces]

I swear every video in my feed from Xperia is something about the flood xD

[@TheSpartanboy10]

Idk why but killing flood biomass and spores are so satisfying. Especially when Chief pops the liquid sack on Keyes when he got infected.

[@SABbrew]

Ya know what would be sick though? A halo game focused on the forerunner/flood conflict.

[@Jacksonbuist]

[@explbeatz1024]

[@sonicrunn3r895]

In a way, the infector forms live on in the biomass attaching to vehicles concept, as some biomass is stuck to the bottom of the pelican you leave the mission Cortana in.

[@archentity]

-Resident- *Halo Evil 3*

[@ZackBlazo]

Heres an idea for Infinite if it's going the way I hope with installation 07. Along with if the game is free roam. (most likely wont happen but I think HiddenXperia would approve) imagine going on a mission underground and finding the primordials corpse. But were cornered by a banished group. As you fight your way out. You hear a very familiar howl from the main chamber. Causing chief to fall back in a side passage due to something. Low ammo. The sounds. The rumbling. Whatever you want its just an idea. And aa you wait. You hear banished reinforcements enter the chamber and immediately rushed by the flood. Opening an old enemy to the enviornment. Have kinda like that dead space 2 moment when Issac turned off the power to earthgovs sector. But have the juggernaut walking up the rear leading the beginning of the flood out of the primordial tomb. Just an idea but i think thatd be dope to see the world a certain way and as you preogress through the game. It gets more and more corrupted with the flood. Like bodies beginning to pile up. As you come back it forms into flood burn areas. Food for thought

[@TheDarkCrocodile]

Juggernaut has finally shown it self in Halo Fireteam Raven Arcade game

[@iycee7]

The next Halo game *needs* the Flood and these cut forms

[@harrywarden7675]

Halo wars 2 is amazing and I like that they added even more flood forms.

[@harrywarden7675]

I also enjoy that the flood has bio-mass on vehicles to use them too. It's fucking great
