One Marine Could Have Stopped The Flood Infestation 

Congrats bro!

Congrats master!

Why is this video so popular?

I think it's more likely that mendoza's body was unfit because he was sick or something tape worms try to abandon the host when they think the host is dying for example drink too much alcohol some tapeworms try to leave

you may want to review the Lore.. humans had encountered the flood before the halo games, in requiem, please note that the Masterchief is acknowledged as a forerunner "The Reclaimer." The Forerunners are from another galaxy where the flood had infested and laid to ruin. otherwise your probably right.

thats harsh

🤣🤣🖕🏽🤣

It’s The forever alone guy in disguise always wondered what happened to him

Savage

LOL

No not really remember there were near hundreds of infection forms charging them plus they aren’t Spartans they don’t have Mjolnir armour so Mendoza was being smart and for him not being infected he might have been killed by blunt force and flood forms need to be Alive or they can’t use the nervous system

Object 120 Pe-8 It’s a joke dummy

Noobmaster 420 iTs a jOKe

Object 120 Pe-8 The joke is that the commander told him to “Fire your gun Jenkins!”. Yeah, like he could have stoped the massive horde, so it really didn’t matter.

Noobmaster 420 do you understand when I say I’m proving a point

maybe the flood did it to take over his mind quicker ?

@@2nmingo nah he might of done it himself so he wouldn’t have to deal with the pain of being transformed fully

​@Christopher Salinas I think that's the Flood Form itself doing that. The moment that the Flood Form is in his body, he's already a dead man walking. And where it needs to burst out at with its feelers, the regular head position often gets in the way.

Ratimus xD

Yep

The flood hates boonie hats

It's not that no I'm lieing

the flood just said NO THE QUEEN SAYS NO BOONIES i think that's the hat

That tactic was well developed long before Vietnam

NovaPrime1869 yes because a parasite is going out of its way to study tactics used in a proxy war used over 600 years ago and use it in one situation seems legit

@@makaveliba4243 sounds like common sense more than advances war tactics lmao. Use him as bait kind of tactic isn't that hard to think up of

Bosnian Turkey Leg the flood is smart.

NovaPrime1869 there’s a big problem, the flood were still in the feral stage, they didn’t have a proto-gravemind yet.

mikhail king You can visit the room after the flood show up but the point remains that in the scripted event, the only elites we ever see in the mission are the dead ones we see through the recordings. In the map, there are no elite carcasses at all, indicating that after Johnson's platoon was ambushed, the flood decided to use the elite carcasses to kill/capture the UNSC team, explaining why the room was empty when Chief went in the room the first time, despite it being littered with Sangheili corpses in the recording.

commanderbacara225 I want to add to what you said, the flood in the Halo universe supposedly "can only re-animate the living" yet they re-animate the dead in Halo's 2-3

Liam Fraser the flood can infect everything with a working central nervous system and takes control via the spine regardless if it is dead or not, hence why hunters can not get infected, the lekgolo worms do not have spines so they cannot be controlled.

Drakefance5 it's annoying wen you have no idea what I'm talking about considering u aperently live in Halo 3 unlike the rest of us who live in combat evolved

Drakefance5 also where would they find spine segments massive enough to create the things in Halo ledgends

When I watch animated shows or hentai there is usually some shit missing.

bluebanana Here’s how it happened Mendoza: Sir there are unidentifiable heat signatures popping up all over our hud, what do we do? Keyes: I don’t know, but what I do know is that hat looks dumb, TAKE IT OFF! Mendoza: Pardon me sir? Keyes: Take...it...off Mendoza: Yes Sir :c

This is good video

Normally, you're supposed to take off your soft-cover when indoors - not that it really explains anything.

He took off spore like that

Mendoza wasn't a Spartan like Johnson tho

@@natashapowell9445 u don't need to be a spartan to have nerve damage

Also, I'm fairly certain Johnson isn't "immune", per say, but it's like if you made a human go hunt, and johnson was a rabbit in the middle of a bunch of deer, he's just not worth the effort to catch him

@@heliveruscalion9124 good point

Halo 1 flood was completely different to later games flood, that is the reason...

*immediately flips through pages upon pages of note* "Dear god, how did I never notice this before? It was staring us in the face all along! How could we have been so blind!"

zachary odell lol

The greatest weakness to the Flood is a poor choice of military fashion design/protection?

New Recruit, obviously!

New Recruit, maybe the flood realized "hmm this could be waiting for... A NEW WAY TO SAY, GET THE F#CK OUT OF OUR HOUSE!"

Ravenant Gold

Ravenant gold man, pure gold

It's a boonie hat

Please pin this comment! lol

Uhhh Captain fucking Price!!!

ATP is the energy currency of the body.

Ahh did you learn from parasite eve

yea. and

Middle school years 😍

Never spent a lesson on current events, instead I studied the old American west

that's why Johnson was immune, so could it be Mendoza was as well? And the elite could be a Sanghelli canceled experiment with the same idea

I thought it was plasma burns

george smith I don't think so...

Wrong. He's a Spartan 1.1, There's pretty much no difference It just costs 40$ to upgrade.

No the UNSC or ONI (not sure) make a fake file saying that it was plasma grenade radiation that gave him immunity but it was actually spartan-1 testing that did.

ok Lilly

ok wait

ok jack

Ok

That is irrelevant as the flood takes over the person there scared nature would’ve been irrelevant as it would be replaced by the floods mind

@@ct-782hevy4 /s

If I was in that situation, I'd peace the fuck out as well. That's just being prudent - in truth, their position had been compromised, they were surrounded and in danger of being overwhelmed - the best course of action would've been to fall back in an orderly fashion and take defensive position just outside the door in that natural choke-point. It's Keyes' and Johnson's failure that they hesitated to do this. Not only does it increase the chances of survival in general but ALSO acts as a pressure valve for the "fight or flight" response of the individual soldiers - if Sarge or Keyes had ordered an orderly retreat then Mendoza likely wouldn't have ran, as wanting to fall back and hearing a superior issuing the order reinforces the command presence of that superior - allowing them to keep control in an extremely stressful situation and maintaining coordination and teamwork.

@PokemonFan81 The Flood wants big sweaty muscle-men covered in baby oil. Everyone knows this.

Flood doesnt care.

Rylee Edwards God I'm glad he tried to end his life before turning into one of them but he failed...sad

or people are like "oh fuck... suicide is literally the best and only option so he breaks his own neck.." cause if u got infected right now.. u wouldn't even make it to the nearest door let alone medicine cabinet in ur bathroom to grab a cure.. u'd have to kill urself right away or just get ur conscious absorbed and feel ur body breaking apart for a few seconds... having ur skin ripped off sounds more pleasant then what happens when ur infected... most people would suicide to be honest.. like why would u not.. xb

Maaquchi nah I think the Flood supercell actually does hijack the human nervous system and forces the host to kill itself to make the flood process faster

He did this because the pain was to bad. He couldn't take it.

Holy crap

Tenchi212 he just needed to stretch.

When your body is being violently mutated by space parasites and your primary concern is a little neck stiffness, that's when you know you have your priorities in order.

pretty sure the flood made him do that to himseld to make the whole take-over-body thing easier.

they controlled his body and snapped his own neck

the flood don't need the head to control a body, they take over by tapping the spinal column. those stalks you see coming out of their chests are their sensory organs. the head usually gets pushed out of the way.

Yeah, that would be a cool story.

Myuutsuu85 he is explained in halo: the flood

Same

Me too

what marine

The game calls him Mendoza. Sergeant Johnson calls him Mendoza. So he IS Mendoza. The game takes priority over any book inspired by it since the game is literally where the Halo trilogy starts.

After doing a bit more research, I've come to the conclusion that in the game it's Mendoza falling on the Chief. In the book, it's most likely Kappus. In Halo canon, technically the games take priority over the books. So it's somewhat debunked then.

It's still kinda weird how Mendoza is not infected. If only bungie made it so that after Chief was done taking a look at the recording, the body would have disappeared as if it got up and walked away. Would have given me the creeps.

8-Bit Knight The Flood were waiting to ambush the Chief or anyone else that goes in the facility. Exploring the facility, there's at least 3 other dead Marines that aren't infected before encountering the Flood face to face. But you're correct that it would have been creepy for Kappus/Mendoza to just disappear at the end of the cutscene.

DarkEternity1017 Kappus? *Kappa*

Sad how things change. Oh well

I guess you could say...he DROPPED from grace

Why is he awful now? Has he given an explanation as to why?

@@fuzzydunlop7928 Well you see, Fortnite.... it changes a man. Warps him, twists his mind to the point of almost snapping- and then lets go and leaves it bent instead. It turns you into a caricature of your former self, while refusing to do the only halfway decent thing to do at that point- put you out of your misery.

he made another halo video yay

What the fuck is this chat.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

agbond003 There would have been blood then.

Jake Sauter there would've been blood either way

I thought the same thing, killed for desertion

the flood still can takeover dead bodies though

He could have just ran into the wall from clumsiness and somehow knocked himself out and then got killed. lol [probaly didn't happen though.]

he doesn't count he got away Mendoza didn't

The crazy marine said he played dead, but that doesn't really make sense either

@@CorneliusCob did he. does he say that i dont remember

Oh, gosh dang it, he's dead, discusting. Hold up, let me go revive one of my combat forms using an infection form.

Free magnum ammo is all he is to me

A Game Theory!!!!!

And...Cut!

Welcome to super end card tournament

Damnit stole my line

A game theory

Johnson wasn't assimilate due to radiation from a crate of Covenant plasma grenades he stole and used all of them the radiation caused changes to his geneology the book Halo: The First Strike covers it in detail.

@@Michael-yz2iy That was actually a cover up for Johnson's involvement in the Spartan I program.

And I’m the baby

Michael Morris Like what the other guy said, it was an ONI cover up story.

Johnson is a spartan 1, experimental versions of the super solder sirum were very unstable and would really mess up the nervous system with all the side effects most spartan 1's could not continue in the line of service, but the lucky ones like johnson whos nervous systems were broken not to the point of unusable, the flood control their victims by connecting to their nervous system and a normal persons nervous system is easier to control for the flood

CheezyCheeze I died at this comment

Slateboi_117 Nooooooo Don't die man you won't get to see tge new hat.

CheezyCheeze halo 6 spoiler is cortana is gonna activate the relays and wipe everything

the flood is actually coming back in halo 6 you know, if you listen carefully at the ending of halo 5 you can hear a noise that is very very similar to that of the flood, and also cortana is huming the same song (or at least a variant of it) that 343 Guilty spark hums in Halo CE

Ken Gibson Hopefully. Halo 4 and 5 suck so much and Microsoft gets so greedy that it would better not even exist.

King Kalel 😂😂😂😭😆

King Kalel hahahahhaha you made my day 😂

King Kalel bahahah😂😂😂 this sooo much!!

Mendoza and Johnson where members of project Orion. A super soldier program that was ultimately a failure as less than seven people survived it (out of over a hundred) and there where no noticeable change to the survivors. at least not immediately as the survivors actually aged much slower (Orion took place a decade before spartan II) and they became immune/undetectable to the flood. Dr Halsey discovered all this from Johnson's Blood and did make a cure for the flood . . . then she got trapped/lost in space

The simplest answer tends to be the most likely :P

That's what I wanted to say

oh i haven't read the books yet

Maybe Mendoza was part of the Orion project (Spartan 1) and is physically more difficult to infect like Johnson because of a different nervous system layout and the flood avoided infecting him because it would take much longer than a regular marine

Also Jenkins wasn’t fully turned

@@twurtle12hd39 Right, the Infection Form that latched onto him was, by some cosmic twist of fate, weakened by its long dormancy. While his body was corrupted into a Combat Form, he was still lucid, though not in control of his actions.

He would have fell on the floor if that was the case. Maybe he passed out from pounding on the door.

Chief didn't take a pulse.

maybe the game devs forgot to texture him hurt or wounded.

They don't show wounds in these games really.

Thomas Ford He didn't need to, Mendoza was motionless.

SEALkid+ Agreed, in the future, specially for Halo CE, Luke needs to take a look into the lore, and game itself before making a theory(though more so the game as that is where the real secrets are), Halo CE is full of secrets, alot of which is actually in the game itself, whether by playing the game normally, or using a Dev Trainer, you are bound to find countless secrets and easter eggs, Mendoza was more than likely used as a prop for the door, rather being being someone randomly immune to the Flood for no apparent or good reason to be, it's even more likely that the secret marine outside the map at the start, who use Mendoza's model, was originally meant to be playable character at some point in the games development(even if that is not the case, it's still more likely than what Luke says about Mendoza in this video), I hope he reads these comments, because they are important to understanding of whats really going on in Halo CE and that he can take criticism for his videos on this particular game very seriously, it's very likely Bungie did not care about the lore as much as they did in the sequels, as they were more worried about creating tension and scaring the player for this level(which was definitely the smart call), he should definitely do the secret marine theory though on his channel, but he needs to make sure to look at GeneralKidd's video about the marine, show off to properly play as the marine, show where to find good weapons, good survival tactics, and of course the theory itself, he should do some research aswell, but overall would be a much better, and more realistic theory than this theory. :)

Riley: good to know. Which novel is the best?

I'm getting old. I was going to say the ones by Eric Nylund were good and the other were lame after, but when I formed that opinion there were only 6 halo books according to Good reads there are 18 now. Damn Honestly If you care about halo CE and up to halo 3 then the Nylund books are where it's at.

SEALkid it also could mean that mendoza was part of the program

Another issue here is that the Flood don't use _every_ body. Some are too badly damaged to be any use to them. Marvin Mobuto, the Marine who died in the Library, fought about halfway through it before being completely overwhelmed. The Flood didn't infect him just because he was mangled by the time he finally stopped fighting. The unnamed sangheili and Mendoza might well have been immune, but considering this, it seems more likely that they just died too violently for the Flood to be able to use them afterwards. Especially considering that Mendoza was much younger than Johnson, and so was not likely to have been enhanced in any way.

Benassiesto there was they were called the engineers and prometans knights

After a certain point, immunity to the flood would have merely been another tactical advantage and not the silver bullet it would have been in the early stages of the war. “You’re all immune now? That’s nice...” *snipes your whole fucking star system from the other side of the galaxy using Precursor tech*

@@darthsonic4135 That's not even considering the fact that as they progress their infection becomes more and more advanced. Once they reach the Interstellar stage I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow managed atomic infection, considering the Forerunners were capable of pretty much forcefully evolving themselves within a few minutes using genetic engineering and still failed to find a cure.

Johnson’s immunity isn’t really immunity, more like being a gross piece of food in a 5 star buffet. Better, easier prey to catch, but eventually if it comes to it they’ll take the gross food

Aiden Jenkins I get it nice refference

Makes you wonder about blackwing lair.. LEEEEEEROOOOYY JEEEENKIIINNNSSSAA!

It's actually because he is a spartan I and the augmentations fucked him up.

CBOU OWNS U but the forerunners couldn't get a cure to it

CBOU OWNS U the "borens syndrome" due to supposed radiation was a made up disease by ONI serving as a cover-up for side-effects that were caused by augmentations that subjects of the original spartan-(ORION) project though.

GANGSTA PANDA I read that ancient humanity developed a cure to the flood but got wiped out by the forerunners soon after

star heaven Oh OK I wasent aware of that haven't been keeping up with halo lore

Adarsh Singh being hate by parasite, damn thats hardcore

+Adarsh Singh That is actually possible. In Halo canon it shows that ancient humanity did find a so called "cure" for the flood. They basically put this flood cure into humans and tested them out against the flood. What happened was that the flood were deterred from attacking the humans with the "cure" in them because what it did was make it harder for flood forms to infect the humans injected with the "cure". So the flood would just avoid those humans and attack others that didn't have the cure in them. It is possible that maybe some of the genetics from ancient humanity has passed on to those like Mendoza.

HawkeyeNation19 no the flood tricked them into thinking the cure worked

4 replys 222 likes seems legit

Your comment has 343 likes

CCKillbilly same here

Same....nothing much else he could've done.

not really since they broke dozens of doors already just to run down on chief... what was this one door gonna do if mendoza closed it

[chief] hears weird noise all around him Opens door [Dead marines falls into chiefs arm] [Cheif] moves on even though a dead marine fell in his arm

Hard to imagine a single containment room could do such damage. I always ask the question 'how the flood didn't infect earth?'.

And the ancient humans had created a sort of cure, it doesn't kill the flood outright but makes human bodies unusable. That specific DNA sequence might have still existed in some of the humans.

@@Eldor-117 the altered DNA is not injected to the Ancient Humans but for the humans that are about to get sacrificed. Basically you get a bunch of volunteers and then throw them to the flood.

This video is quite incorrect but basically the marine chief meets at the door is mendoza,the marine with no hat is kappus. Mendoza runs to the door and is killed by the flood. Kappus is the crazy marine with the pistol you meet.

Ayy Lmao but isn't there a difference in the voice actors there?

ryland dungan this video theory is wrong as in Halo:The Flood it clearly states"this one a horribly mutated human . Though the creature was distorted by whatever had ravaged his body, the Chief recognized him nonetheless. It was Private Manuel Mendoza, the soldier that Sergeant Johnson loved to yell at, and one of the Marines who had been with Keyes when he disappeared into this nightmare" this means that mendoza is not immune to the flood and the game cutscenes may be wrong according to lore

There really is no explanation as to how Johnson escaped halo. No way he escaped on a pelican as in the cutscene on legendary after finishing the maw it will show an elite and Johnson fighting over a gun till they look over to the pillar of autumn and see its about to blow, then they hug it out. That's all we know as far as I know.

that cutscene isn't lore

romand271 not cancer...cell scarring and scambling

romand271 ya I believe it had to do with burns from a plasma grenade.

Koala Kev probably a direct shot from the scarab gun

Koala Kev that was just a cover-up the reason Johnson cells and nervous system is scrambled and scarred is due to the experiments that done on him as part of the orign project

That was actually a cover-up by ONI, in reality he can't be infected because of his augmentations from the ORION project

CYB3R- R4T: no shit.

Matthew Wyss it's a joke

CYB3R- R4T says who? roast them over a fire or boil them. make flood stew or something

Theyd just fall apart

AK's RULE!! You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, flood-kabobs, flood creole, flood gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple flood, lemon flood, coconut flood, pepper flood, flood soup, flood stew, flood salad, flood and potatoes, flood burger, flood sandwich. That- that's about it.

absolutely fuck all

it wasn't a mistake though

And the HQ they built was no simple fortifications with just sand bags, it had showers with hot water, pelican landing pads,mortars, anti air defense systems and even rec rooms. It was fully functional even with its own human AI(which was dumber than cortana but an ai non the less). Damn, the marines kicked ass on Halo:Combat Evolved,in installation 04.

That brings up images I'd really rather do without.

Lewis Irwin Same for me now buddy

I think of Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud

I was thinking " With Arms Wide Open"

I doubt the first flood outbreak that lead to the Human Forerunner war would have happened, if that were possible. The dust was used for a couple of centuries to make animals more docile. Then people ate them. As the first outbreak started, people who had long been consuming the meat also began to mutate. So, doubt.

Pretty sure that "dust" was some sort of reengineered remains of the of the Precursors (The race that came before the Forerunners) that the Forerunners had mistakenly discovered years after defeating the Precursor during the Precursor/Forerunner war. The dust in question that was discovered, was realized to created exotic variations of animals, and were valued greatly because of that. Basically over thousands of years, these infected animals basically devolved into the flood which was the Precursors plan the entire time. Its been a while since I read the books, but I think this is roughly how it went. These events were ~100,000 to 150,000 years before the first Halo game,

Pretty much this, but it was the prehistoric Humans and Prophets who found them, began treating domesticated animals with it. The initial mutagenic properties were considered beneficial, or at least aesthetically pleasing, but become increasingly unstable over generations of treatment until the pets they'd been treating with the mutagen were essentially flood.

Yeah I remember that from the books, they had those things that were like pets and they consumed some of the growths on each other and down through the generations they changed into basically being the spore forms.

Nah the humans equivalent to dogs at the time are what created the flood cuz they used the powder to tame them

Stayinposition damn I know you on xbl

Dennis Farrell you do? xD

Stayinposition yeah mate my tag is dennislego75

Dennis Farrell oh yeah :) dang bro the halo community is small

Stayinposition tru remember when there were over 1m people in the community but now there is only several thousand players

so theres a good to fair chance that mendoza is immune for the same reason. but more than likely it was just a jumpscare employed before introduction of the flood

yah probably right

Johnson is immun due Plasma Radiation

Rtas `Vadum the plasma radiation was a cover up for the Orion project

Rtas `Vadum yes your correct but it's not the radiation that gave him immunity it's what it did to his nervous system

F

Why does he look like a human still and dead?

But he died

FreezrMario to guilty spark

no plasma weapon radiation

connor smith no play halo 3 to the end Johnson is murdered by 343 guilty spark when spark went rampant.

James Mclaughlin well I don't think anyone could survive a laser to the abdomen without armour.

Edgar Gomez, Destiny is just fine, but Halo is still the best.

I do 343 blows

Yes, guy looking for approval, you are the only person in the entire world that thinks this. Even with all the countless videos already saying that.

I still love halo, even the new ones

Heinrich destiny 1 was just fine, destiny 2 though...

Watch HiddenXperia

Only brutes humans and elites get turned into combat forms the rest are carrier forms

Grunts and jackals don’t get turned into combat forms cause they don’t have enough calcium or something

Piercingshooter biomass*

Nah the grunts and jackal also the buggers. there just useless and weak compared to the rest I mean there just the cannon fodder for halo

That's only because they have no central nervous system that the flood could control

TmanTheTdog But how come their spores can't infect them? the flood can infect cells and DNA.

It's like this, the flood possibly could infect them but they would have no control over the worm at all, it might be possible for the flood to use the worms as biomass but I'm sure that they couldn't control any flood form created by the worms. If a host lacks an central nervous system, the flood can't control it. So they'd just kill the worms instead

TmanTheTdog no hunters cant be infected no way because they dont have a solid form

crimson Talon They are made by worms. And the worms could be infected one by one.

Like in World War Z the zombies didn't kill the injured or something?

Snuggle Muffins No, it is Mendoza. Sergeant Johnson calls him Mendoza, he's the only one with a hat, and he's the only one who ran away which was how he ended up at the door. The book was just inconsistent. Games take priority over the novels.

Snuggle Muffins That Was Mendoza,As You Know,He Was The Only One With A Fisherman Hat,It's Impossible That He Was The First Marine To Have Been Infected,As Keyes Shouted "Mendoza,Get Back Here!" But He Continued To Run,The Door Locked On Him Leaving The Combat Forms To Have Brutally Killed Him.

I would think that to man. But look him up on the halo wiki page. Master chief kills him with a shot gun, in the comics titles "halo:the flood". He's the first combat form chief encounters.

A few hours after infection, John-117 found Mendoza in the structure and attempted to communicate with the Marine, unknown that his consciousness was already taken over by the Infection Form. Mendoza attacked the SPARTAN and took three entire Soellkraft 8 Gauge Shell from John-117's Shotgun, with the results both "spectacular and disgusting."

That's from the halo Wikipedia. I copied and pasted it.

GermfreeScarf 97 agree

no. The flood tap into the spinal cord and convert the flesh by assimilating the body on a cellular level. based on the neurological and genetic build of a species... there is no immune system defence because the flood infection spore attacks all cells, skill cells blood cells brain cells all of them, it rewrites the DNA and basically turns it into necrotic tissue, your white blood cells wouldn't be able to keep up.

Judging by your later videos youve been playing a lo of CEA or MCC haven't you lol

Their favorite number is seven for a few reasons actually. They've even explained it a few times. Pity it didnt save their lie of "ten years of destiny" and not "ten years of destiny sequels"

That was a cover up story that was amended later. His “side effects” were from him being in Project Orion as one of the Spartan-I soldiers.

That was a lie told by oni

Karthadon - Daniel M. hes special

Karthadon - Daniel M. that means he locked himself in with the flood

And died of starvation really quickly?

Karthadon - Daniel M. or he was immune so the flood combat forms shot him

The marine group was '12 hours' ahead of Master Chief (established by the level's opening scene dialogue). Way too short interval of time to die of starvation.

A few comments down

That was a cover up, the spartan 1 program almost broke his nervous system and the flood will chose a normal one over a mutilated one, its like would you want a freshly baked cake or expired milk

And if that makes no sense, google exists for a reason

Or atleast thats what ONI wants you to believe...

Alejandro Garcia lol

Alejandro Garcia Fuking piece of shit

Spartan 058 • ?.?

Spartan 058 • Chill

partan432 He’s saying that Mexicans kill people and that’s dumb as fuck

Johnson's immunity came from his involvement in Project ORION, which left his nervous system FUBAR. To prevent rumors and leaks about the project, ONI made up a condition resulting from prolonged / increased exposure to plasma, and claimed that Johnson detonated a crate full of plasma grenades.

LeanderRandom yeah, the infection form will have the host kill itself to expedite the transformation.

That doesn't normally happen

we didnt know you sarge but we sure as hell wish we did.

;)

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

Pretty good.

Epicness01sgr flood used dead hosts in halo 3 all the time

Slateboi_117 I know and I hated that I would kill one and another would spawn

When the memes are too spicy infect someone into a carrier form that forms loads more spores and thus eventually infecting an army

The War On Truth Actually correct. Johnson was a SPARTAN-1, and the augmentations scrambled his nervous system so that the flood couldn't force a neural lock. ONI made a cover story about him detonating a crate full of plasma grenades that give him "Boren's Syndrome". Read Halo: First Strike and the wiki's.

The War On Truth nope still wrong. The flood completely ignored him.

ODST M CRESP0 We don't know what really happened, but Halsey said that "Boren's Syndrome" AKA the Paris/BS spoof made it so that the flood couldn't infect him. I trust Halsey's medical opinion on the nervous system scramble.

The Head Spartan but boren's syndrome was a cover up, it doesn't exist.

The Head Spartan they couldn't infect him if they wanted to. A combat form could definitely kill him by shooting him or something
