A few corrections: The Halos do destroy the flood but also everything else so that even if by some miracle a spore survives it would be left isolated on a dead planet and effectively "starved" so it can't spread. There are also Keyminds which is when an entire planets convertible biomass has been consumed, these hive minds coordinate the entire planets flood forms. There is only ever one gravemind per galaxy at a time, their telepathic field is huge allowing them to command armies from light years away. Fun fact: if a gravemind is destroyed but the flood build another one, the new gravemind will have all the knowledge and skills of the last one, even though the flood go feral when one is destroyed, the knowledge is still in there. Which is why the gravemind in halo 2 onwards has the memories of the forerunner era one. Good video.

A surprise to be sure but a welcome one. EDIT: I'm surprised at your knowledge about Halo, even the deepest things (such as the cannibalism acts I forced on Humans in my early years) knowing the type of content you do. However, some things have to be mentioned. Halo rings did not end the Flood as they only target the nervous system. Anything without it is unaffected, such as spores. If a single spore survives, it's enough to restart. Storing Flood specimens across multiple Forerunner structures (Halos, Shield Worlds, etc.) was intentional in order to find a cure. Of course, that will never happen. Installation 04 also wasn't the only Installation with specimens. In Installation 05 (Halo 2), the Flood broke out quite early and was quickly able to evolve to form a Gravemind. Carrier forms are generally regular infected victims who have passed their combat usage, whether by age or damage. Altho, yes, one can still become a Carrier form upon Infection, but it isn't generally like it.

[@spaceangelmewtwo9074]

It has been shown in game and in the extended lore just how alarmingly fast the Flood propagate. Frankly, the UN wouldn't even have the time to react, much less launch nukes. The Flood took complete control of High Charity, which had a population similar to that of Earth, in a matter of hours, and the Covenant, for all their tech, could do nothing but flee in total desperation. High Charity is quite a lot smaller and the population quite a lot more dense than that of Earth, but other lore has shown the Flood infecting entire planets in a matter of days. They are extremely virulent right from the start, and it only gets worse as time goes on. The Forerunners are perhaps the most advanced civilization ever depicted in sci-fi, and even they had no idea what to do about them other than hit the reset button on the galaxy.

@Moth Moniker It's not supposed to be realistic lol. They are made from the remains of space gods and can bend reality with neural physics if they become strong enough. Science and Lovecraft don't mix that well when it comes to being scientifically accurate.

[@Skippercarlos5]

@Moth Moniker - The flood is a precursor. In the story of the game, the precursors were the gods of the halo universe. They created the mantle of responsibility, which basically gives you the job of being the guardians of the galaxy. The forerunners wanted it, but they failed their test. So the forerunners became angry and killed a large amount of the precursors (they could do this because the precursors were intrigued by this because none of the species they had created before hand had done this to them). So, the precursors ground themselves into dust to preserve themselves. Overtime some of the dust became corrupt. The dust got fed to some animals, the animals became infected, and the precursor still had it's knowledge, so it started to infect more things to build an army to stop the forerunners. Then they became the flood after some more story telling. If your really interested in learning about the origins of the flood, look up "what is the flood in halo hiddenxperia" in the youtube search bar, and you should find a playlist. That playlist should answer most of your questions, but with a lot of story telling.

[@taelorpickel2830]

@Moth Moniker I hope you do know Flood originally were a incomprehensibly advanced race that would shit on any logic we have "created" in the universe. This godly race was the Precursors whom basically transformed their DNA and shite into some "powdery stuff" which people ate and then that sparked the beginning of the Flood, it's actually more so of a corruption infection that the Precursors specifically created to gain vengeance for losing against the Forerunners (which many people like me suggest they intentionally lost the war to evolve into the Flood). It is not lazy writing, Halo has better explanations on things than MANY famous sci-fi universes.

This is just a weird random thought. I wonder how the heatblast species (pyronite species) from Ben 10 would do in the presence of the Flood. I would think due to their bodies being in high temperatures like higher than 100 degrees Celsius if not much higher, the Flood wouldn't be able to infect them and would not be able to survive against attacks by pyronites.

Because it's the flood, only plot armor could win... The flood would destroy even the imperium from Warhammer 40K

[@Manglet762]

But would they be able to wipe out ALL life in 40K? Tyranids come to mind, as they are the Flood in WH form, and are seemingly a lot more versatile in both war tactics and consumption of entire planets for the sake of having more fuel for even bigger scale deverouring of the universe. Flood may at best put up a fighting, but would probably still lose. Orkz would not give a shit about the Floods infection potential and WAAAAAGH and Dakka their way to victory. The simple mindsets that most Orkz have would also most likely be an unintentional advantage for them. Defeat isn't possible because to Orkz, you have to be alive to be considered defeated, so you can't lose if yer ded. Eldar.... haven't learned much about, so can't say anything there. Tau, also don't know much about. Chaos, same boat as Eldar except SLIGHTLY more knowledge. Wouldn't they have at least a significant chance against the Flood due to how The Void(or whatever it is called) works? As for the Imperium, I'll have you know...(Space Marine voice) *Inhales* THE DEATH OF THE ADEPTUS ASTARTES IS NOT ALLOWED! THE EMPEROR AND HIS GRAND, IMMORTAL ERECTION WILL NOT ALLOW IT!!!!!!!

[@dissolution9843]

Yeah...I don't think the imperium, the tyrannids, chaos demons or anything could fight the flood and win. At best it's a stale mate via universal destruction, Halo ring style. Saying for instance that all races in 40k joined forces to put an end to the flood which is an extremely far fetched eventuality. I'd say it's possible, mostly because there are extremely supernaturally powerful entities in the 40k universe that only come out of the woodwork when things really get bad. Like extremely powerful demigod like figures. Even then...You can't ever *really* get rid of the Flood. It exists in a dust like form that saturates light years of space. If the combined might of all the various factions of 40k somehow managed to bring the infection to heel, even then it'll return. It may not return soon, it may not return in a millenia. But someone, somewhere will forget, and the Flood will be reborn. And I doubt the universe will be so lucky a second time.

[@shamrockshnake1366]

Im going to add some more scary info here about the flood. 1. Infection forms(the popcorn fellas) are not the only way you can be infected. If flood presense is high enough the atmosphere itself will contain flood spores, so breathing a spore in can infect you. If you were attacked by a combat form and got cut, flood cells will enter your body and infect you. 2. Graveminds are also not the final stage for the flood. Keyminds form when an entire planets biomass is consumed, in the forerunner trilogy keyminds were able to use precursor tech. 3. Shouldve watched the full video as you explained the spores more later
