More Flood lore? I GOTCHU FAM! Also if this comment gets 300 likes (again) I'll make a Flood video of YOUR choosing! Just leave your suggestions down here in the comments and I'll pick one and make a video on that topic :D
HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! Yo, do a video on the cut flood forms, and also, could you cover the H4 Combat forms? They look strangely different to all other flood forms...
HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! Do a video on the possibility of a halo horror flood game a marine game in the future please make this a video
6:49 Did you see that, when a smaller pure form transforms into a larger pure form (In this case the range form transforming into a tank form) it seems to gather the extra necessary biomass from the air (Because you know, flood spores). Idk, maybe thats why we only see them on highly infected zones, like high charity that is filled with flood spores in the air, even in floodgate the air is already filled with flood spores, maybe thats also where the range forms gather all their extra ammo, not just "space magic". It's just a theory but hey, it seems logical isn't it?
Tyrese Aiken that would be cool, but Hunters don't have a nervous system, so it cannot be infected. But yeah they do really look like infected Hunters XD
Nothing starts a better morning than listening to detailed descriptions of pure abominations and their potential to eradicate all life in the universe. Yup, it's going to be a good day.
I read the Flood Juggernaut was supposed to be a counter to the Enforcer. The two were supposed to battle like giants, as if one was Behemoth, and the other Leviathan.
Few years ago, I thought Pure Forms especially the Tank form were made from hunters because they had the shield arm and they are quite slow with a large body,
Eagle Eye same with the ranges in halo 3 the Cortana mission where you have to go to high charity to rescue her but it would make me rage 24/7 cause they would constantly kill me
Jarrett Thomas there honestly my worst nightmare alongside shotgun Flood combat forms from Halo 2 yes I think there worse than jackal snipers a lot worse.
if halo 6 has pure forms they should impliment a mechanic where if ur versing 10+ pure forms the last surviving pure form can takr all the biomass from the dead pure forms and tramsform into a flood juggernaut
wow that is a cool idea. Or just any type of biomass around you know. Like broken apart combat forms or if the environment was all flood infested. Making fighting on flood "turf" just that much harder!
FMC Fastmadcow i like that but it would make the game impossible if any pure form can become a judgernaut the only way i see this being fair is if any can change into a juggernaut by 5% because we will be seeing a lot of biomass and plenty pure forms so it will not make it fun to fight a juggernaut everytime making it both repeptitive and unfairly hard so it needs to be a rare occurance
I do just want to throw it out there that your video intros are actually really good. They aren't long and drawn out like some people's. Good use of energy sword and cloaking sounds too :D
Would like to have seen the ranged form “run out” of ammo whenever it was firing and not on flood biomass. Also same for transition to tank. It seems like the tank is so much bigger then the stalker, like it’s just generating mass.
There should be an Easter egg in halo 5 where you are just going on a cheaty route on legendary, and all of a sudden there is a terminal you never saw before, and you activate it, and it's like the ones in halo 3, but a few seconds after you start reading, the screen goes black, then some words appear on the screen, saying: "Hello, John."
Did my first legendary playthrough on Halo 3 and was forced to take the level "Cortana" very slowly. Which, hating the flood this was not fun. But as I really looked around my surroundings...and started studying them....it got REALLY interesting. Thinking about how crazy chief is, to go into the depths of the High Charity in the face of complete loneliness with everything around evolved to bring death in the coldest and most efficient way. Integrating salvaged weapons into the efficiency and intelligence of killing. I was so immersed. It truly got me sitting there at some points just watching and listening in complete amazement at the level. And I studied how the flood move and their weaknesses. The pure forms are incredible.
I pretty much have some halo lore video running in the back ground for everything that I'm doing since I found this channel. Can't get enough, great work man
in my several years of playing halo 3's campaign and reading side stories during those times and such, I've never known the flood tank could do something so crazy like spitting infection forms from its face, thanks xperia, you taught me something new about a great halo game, shame I've never seen it in game tho
Small Wolf yt i always imagined the forerunners as god like beings... almost like the prophets but a more robotic and/or much more intelligent... not like cardboard cutout bullet sponges :(
Your videos help me study. I play them in the background while reading my assignments. I've easily listened to at least half of your catalog at this point lol
Three reasons why fans would love a Halo 3: Anniversary: the restoration of cut content by way of the sudden appearance of Flood Juggernauts, the Forerunner Guardian, and a far better "Cortana" level.
In the Awakening the Nightmare Phoenix logs, the juggernaut form is mentioned, being a precursor (no pun intended) to the abomination key mind form super unit we fight in the game.
The Juggernauts could be something like a radio tower, merely extending the range the Gravemind can effectively function rather than acting as their own individual sub-graveminds. The Gravemind may not be able to control smaller, less intelligent combat forms from great distances, but perhaps a larger, more intelligent Juggernaut, which could then follow orders and control the lesser combat forms.
Been waiting forever for this to come out. Of course I'm still at work and can't fully enjoy it. Thanks for uploading this though, I'm a sucker for great lore.
I figured they where just converted Hunter "worms" or whatever they are called and with the floods biomass they could change their forms even more then before
I forgot where I read it from, but supposedly, the pure forms were a result of a "given" Flood out break in an area which gained enough biomass and intelligence to "access" its DNA and bring up ancient forms or "pure forms" of Flood. The Flood basically used its DNA as a form of memory storage and could essentially access information of ancient Flood information.
Would there be any way you could cover up some stories about the graveminds? Like how strong they really get in the different stages and what they are capable of, like what more options they get from every evolution :D thanks!
Completely unrelated, but I think it would be cool if we got an animation in halo 3 where a Flood form dragged away a screaming marine or elite. And at some points in halo 2 or 3, it would be cool if we could see the bodies being transformed into biomass. It’s sort of seen in halo 2. Sometimes you come across pieces of biomass with bodies piled next to it, but not necessarily being consumed.
I believe this channel is hitting its peak for the very moment at least, the flood, the most interesting part of halo, and here he is explaining it all the a good way, once he's don't with this and by this I mean the flood we're gonna probably have to wait for halo 6 and see if and how they bring the flood back
The whole local gravemind mechanic with the juggernaut is probably like when the gravemind has more important things to do, so it makes a juggernaut, gives it orders on what to do, and then leaves the juggernaut to its own devices.
Im not sure if anyone has said this, but the Ranged/Tank forms may gain biomass and have the ability to regenerate "ammunition" (in the case of the Ranged form) due to the fact that Flood Supercells may act as a sort of Cancer Cell as well, in the vein of rapid cell division and duplication.
I think the flood, once fully developed as pure forms, have quickly reproducing cells. In controlled usage, I think they can generate biomass on demand, such as additional flesh or infection forms from the tank forms, or spikes with the ranged forms. Obviously that kind of regeneration is very taxing in large amounts, so tank forms don't use it as much. Spikes are probably easy though.
i always thought the tank was a converted hunter mainly because of how it looks and the fact that it uses the same arm that the shield would be on for a hunter.
A few days ago I went to this place called Dave,n busters and among the arcades was a halo arcade game which showed the the flood juggernaut in action. Just wanted to throw that out there.
I never thought that the flood actually had set forms that they took. I always thought that they could kinda shapeshift and adapt to any situation. Kinda like the creature in John Carpenter's The Thing. I see the forms as just a simplified way of representing that in gameplay. Obviously I don't see the flood as being as OP as the creature in The Thing, maybe the shape changing is only something that can be done after a gravemind has formed.
Hey man I think talking about the Precursors and explaining how and why they made the transformation into the flood would be a good way to end the mini series. It would be good to hear about the Timeless One and his connections to the gravemind we know in the games.
When you mentioned that you were covering the grave mind lore, I somehow remembered that live stream when E3 was still on. And we were making jokes about grave mind names. That was pretty funny.
The Flood Juggernaut is canon af, in Halo Evolutions: The Mona Lisa, you see a soldiers helmet cam in one of the scenes and they are being attacked by a juggernaut
When I was a kid I thought the ranged form was an infected Drone due to the similar squeaking, they are still my favourite designed pure form due to the eye spots and spike platform.
I think this will be a amazing feature for the juggernaut if it's added when it dies it realises a bunch of infection forms as it carries the same huge bulge as the carrier
I always assumed the ranged forms can achieve the infinite spike thing from some kind of mutation the super cells undergo to form new biomass in seconds.
These questions aren't relevant to the flood, but they are relevant to Halo, and I've been confused about this for a long time. 1. Who created the second Halo array, why was it created and when? 2.What ring or ark is destroyed at the end of Halo 3, which leads to the 3rd question 3.Which ark are the flood found on in Halo wars 2
Kyle Woods 1- the halo array was created by the forerunners. It's basically the energy that is produced by a halo ring which wipes out all sentient life. The halo array was created as a last resort to kill the flood. It was created years before humanity and killed off most of the forerunners 2- the ring destroyed at the end of halo 3 was installation 4b a recreation of the ring seen in halo ce (installation 4) 3- the ark that the flood are on in halo wars 2 is the same ark that was seen in halo 3 as it is the only surviving ark installation left.
Don't suppose we can do a short lore video behind the infected (I assume) forerunners on the halo 2 anniversary map? And I guess while we're at it the infected Spartans for the war games.
You should play Sins Of a Solar Empire rebellion Sins of The Prophets mod it is basically Halo Wars in space. I think it would be awesome to see you play it.
