The weapons designed to be used against the Flood 

HiddenXperia No problem ! ♥️

Soon you’ll be at 300K !

HiddenXperia you deserve 1 million!

HiddenXperia please consider making a video on what Spartans think of those below them like marines or ODSTs please reply if you read this

No problem, you post great videos and you're my favourite Halo youtuber

Lol

Yep it seems like it

True

I wish the shotgun stayed the way it was. They turned it into the human equivalent of the energy sword in Halo 2 onwards

@@robertnrobretual2749 yeah, it already had unrealistically bad range in CE. In later games, it's laughable how short its range is.

It’s like the reverse of the rwby philosophy of “it’s also a gun”

Bayonet on EVERYTHING

IllumiNoEye Gaming including one in the BACK end of a grenade launcher, which kinda has a great recoil (Brutes live on a 2G planet, so they need powerful explosives to hurl a grenade real far, so in 1G environment the power is a bit excessive). Well, they can shoot it without suffering from recoil, but for other species besides augmented Spartans or mechanical Prometheans this can be hard to shoot without injury.

@Isaiah Ramos yes.

I like to use a brute shot to chop veggies. Its just super versatile in the kitchen in general.

That salty Peach 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭💀

Sound of it go like *BOOM* (everyone's head exploded in a milsecond, all at once)

Don't tell anyone, but it is actually an Halo CE Shotgun, and magnum ducktaped together, the pinnacle of forerunner weapon smithing.

That's a hella lot of gunpowder

I don’t want to like this, it had 117 likes

Except when he teamkills you with a spartan laser (it happens a lot) other then that though hell yeah

+Coolfrymaster if you kill him on the final mission of h3 you can get an infinite charge spartan laser

@@rallyingox6514 wait, really? This MCC or 360?

And the arbiter

F

Yeah same, although I always preferred CE's way of doing it, having it be huge and lumbering in H3 wasn't really fun to use

@@JingleBaza Most of the weapons in Halo have unrealistically low range. Especially the shotgun and assault rifle.

Dont worry ,I created a functional flamethrower on halo 5 forge

HiddenXperia I’m surprised that the UNSC makes use of flamethrowers considering flamethrower use by militaries in real life is a war crime.

HEMA Memes True, but I think it's more for gameplay balancing purposes. I'm willing to think In lore, they're just as capable as in rl if not more.

Well, human combat forms are as strong as healthy brutes when it comes to hitting or lifting something, their flesh just isn't very tough.

Chief and Arbiter must have a delicate grip. That strength alone multiplied by the MJOLNIR armor could crush the pistol grip entirely.

@@metroidhunter965 Brutes are exactly fragile creatures. They’re weapons used by the brutes.

John-117 in the books can lift 9tons, without armor, though if I remember right that was an extreme maximum and I think his real average lift strength is somewhere around 3-4 tons which is still insane. Flood combat forms being zombies, no longer have the limitations imposed by self preservation mechanics. In the real world, your squishy human form is much stronger than you are. Your brain limits your output because on average if you used 100% of your output you'd snap your own bones and shred your own insides.

@@morscovium8881 bro it’s Halo, not the smithing olympics

We olso haf thing that shoot hot fier and buern

An we haf thing that go boom boom

Brutes: BIG SMASHY MAKE TENTACLE MAN HURT

SG-1 flashbacks ensue

And napalm.

Agreed.

If a Shotgun and a sinper had a baby

@@aidanpolzin9243 Apex legends s0 to s2 peacekeeper

God the shotgun was so good

Yeah, shotgun spread is overblown by video games. xD

Same!

@Epic fair enough.

@Epic but we use shotguns too? Sure they've got more range then a gravity hammer but if any flood forms approach you when you have a hammer they're as good as dead I'd say the energy sword is less reliable as it's single target

@Epic He did list the sword though.

@Epic Didn't ask.

well, then what are the halo arrays?

With CE Warthogs underneath as armor.

Soooo: the neeew "Halo Shotgun!!!!" Replacing the halos firing mechanism with a shotgun blast considering over 400 billion shotguns. Hell I would buy it with my life

@@alchemist889 cause fuck Balance: the Maker of CoD probably

Yeah it sucks, you have no idea how much I want to use a Binary Rifle against a Tank Form or something. For all the stick I'll give 343's handling of the Forerunners, I LOVE the way the Promethean weapons look and sound, editing their part of this video was so damn fun

@@HiddenXperia I hope that if/when the flood return in Infinite that, either through Cortana's orders or from breaking away from her for the fact that she's got the logic plague, we get to see Prometheans fighting flood on Installation 07 and possibly even working with Chief if the latter is true. Also it'll be good to actually have a sniper that works against the flood, it would make Linda useful if the Halo 5 team system comes back (which hopefully includes Arbiter and not just Blue Team, who are much better in the 1st 3 chapters of Silent Storm than the entirety of Halo 5, and also allowing you to move if you're down like in Fortnite so that Jackal Sniper that knocked you doesn't get an overkill on your entire AI team)

@@Jedi_Spartan I didn't really like the idea of being i n a squad of 4 Spartan's it didn't feel halo and what's even worse is how you can get revived AND THAT JUST SUCKS

@@silentshadow1429 yeah, I sort of feel that it should be a cross between Halo 3 where not all of them turn up in single player (eg: N'tho and Usze) and the revive system from Halo 5

What do you mean with your question about the brute weapons ?

You are forgetting the wide use of termobaric explosives

And nukes

and then you have rising storm 2 where shotguns are basically sniper rifles headshotting things at 100+m, and im pretty sure that game doesnt do that thing some other games do where one pellet hitting does full damage as if all of em hit.

The og Doom shotgun was perfect. And I found it wierd VG explosions turn into fireballs. And my favourite flamethrower is one that spews oil and has a lighter underneath which ignites it unlike others which spew gas.

Or maybe it's both.

Even better if armor piercing with a fuse so it can go through armor before going boom

Lasgun would be better, Bolter has tendency to spread the biomass in all directions..

If warhammer taught me anything, virus bomb op

Greetings imperial citizen, I came to claim this comment for the golden throne. The emperor protects.

@@cloroxusthestainlessone4324 yep, if you can't beat the flood at their weaknesses, overpower their strength. Wait... But seriously though, the world eater virus used in virus bomb exterminatus is absurdly op, like even Nurgle's deamons fear it and Nurgle himself can't control it, so there's no question that it would scour out all traces of a flood outbreak on a planet even if they have fully formed keyminds.

TDJK Hazard our lord and saviour yapyap the destroyer

Yap yap ftw, But on other things, that ass be calling timeout every 2 minutes during your average HW2 match when being used by an AI.

TDJK Hazard *grunt goblins are gonna blast you guys into teeny puddles!! HAHAHAHAHA!*

Well grunts are literally flood proof so why not

Yapyap would eat the flood like he did the covenant before he got glassed in balaho.

xMerciless I heard the only way to truly counter a Gravemind is to sign up for a free audible trial using audibletrial.com/HiddenXperia and redeem a free Halo audiobook that you can keep even if you cancel the trial before you’re charged Idk, I just heard that somewhere

lol

Yes, the starving weight of a pissed off former communist.

George Bush as US president showed equal amount of intellect for USA citizens - below average. And you can't even contain SJW outbreak. I

Ye bc everyone starved equally

Thanks man! More definitely on the way :D

I KNEW SOMEONE ELSE DID, I really should've remembered that tbh bc Leon was by far my favorite member of Omega, thanks dude!

I hope we see them in Halo Infinite ^^

Omega team is awesome Leon - sword Robert - banished plasma turret with ICONIC improved design August - railgun

V-Rex your comment doesn’t make sense..., the temperature of a grenade(upon exploding) is futile in terms of it’s lethality; the fragmentations and shockwaves are what cause death in any personnel that encounter a grenade.

Thermobaric and HE grenades do generate a crapton of heat

@V-Rex You do know that normal fragmentation grenades don't explode in a massive fireball in real life, right? Also what the other guy said, the temperature is irrelevant when it comes to what kills you.

FINALLY SOME ONE WHO WATCHED THAT FILM

@@vincezockt127 i watched it too lol rip sam

Shotguns are easily the most misunderstood small arm in terms of capability and effectiveness. Its super effective where it shouldnt be, and ineffective where it shouldnt as well.

00 buck in a 12guage will go a long way

Same fr I thought I'd b da only 1 ta b bothad by dat

Agreed.

Only misunderstood in gaming

That's huge, imagine that recoil thou.

Uriel OR most UNSC weapons are more powerful than their modern day relatives to counter advances made in body armor, I would assume the same is true for recoil mitigation in weapons

@@noneed4sleep64 in the lore im pretty sure spartan armor has recoil cancelling technology in the arms so it at least wouldn't be a problem for them

BigBillClinton yeah, but that won’t help regular marines, soldiers, or ODSTs

As long as the person using the hammer has shields, yeah. Infection forms burst on contact, blast a ton of them away at once and have the other guy burn everything

@@descimator There shouldn't be a need for another guy really. That should be incorporated into the suit. Just like having the weapon be powered two ways. One by itself obviously and one by the suit. That way one would have a back up power source. By 2400 these suits should be insanely advanced with multiple "Iron Man" type weapons on them.

Fusion _NOVA Uh, without context I don’t really want to, so yeah no.

The link it's shameless self-promoting; it redirects to their channel.

Yes

The Scarabs beam or the Scarab Gun found in New Mombasa?

that's true, however if any non-sangheili were to earn the right to use one, it'd be a spartan

@@psysea8493 yeah especially after seeing what chief could do, the sangheili are defo most likely to trust a spartan over any other person or group

The swordsman culture doesn't apply to the military for Sangheili. It's more of a social matter but in their military their use is far more lenient to the point you can find supply crates full of energy swords lying around. Also, the Sangheili have immense respect for the Spartans.

Yeah, I doubt it would be common. I could see possibly a very small number of Spartans like 117 who spent enough time around Sangheili and earned their respect maybe getting a chance to use a sword but I agree it would not be a common thing.

🤔 I wish lol

Yes they show the best available counter-measure against the flood

Yep to help us to be SPARTAN.

NO DONT BURN IT I DONT WANT TO HEAR THEIR SCREAMS WHEN THEY ARE ON FIRE!

@@LAV-III It's the flood they don't scream they aren't people

@@markusmitchell8585 unless if you burn them in halo 3 and actually hear them

And ce pistol... as default loadout for Spartans! :D

and the ce assault rifle.

Melissa Waterman the ce shotgun only kills from that distance if the target is unshielded.

The ce shotgun shouldn't be in matchmaking at least but I guess could be in campaign and as a shotgun variant in multiplayer like h5 variants like ce pistol and H2 BR and beam rifle.

That would be pretty cool to see

You mean the Scattershot?

DontMakeMeOofYou 0247 yes

Scattershot spread is so small though it seems like it would be bad against flood

@@coolfrymaster You're forgetting that (at least in Halo 5) when the shots bounce off a wall they home in on the nearest target. It doesn't seem that useful but I attribute that to game balancing

@@DontMakeMeOofYou huh that's pretty cool I never knew that doesnt seem to be terribly effective though

I could, I could also answer it in a comment - ∞ :)

@@HiddenXperia either way is good

@@HiddenXperia plz make it ur next video

He already answered your question. The amount is infinite

@@HiddenXperia I thought only one gravemind can exist at a time. Since all flood, especially the gravemind, absorb all info and intelligence from their hosts and as a whole, is one big collective consciousness, there wouldn't need to be more than one gravemind.

Nope, the Spartan Laser was around before the UNSC discovered the Flood.

I always assumed the reason the weapons you listed worked so well on the flood compared to say an assault rifle or BR (still effective just not as much) was because those weapons basically punched a tiny hole through a body that couldn't give a shit less. But the others like the shotgun, sword, laser, and plasma rilfe have either spread out shots that basically blow off entire sections of the body or burn it to hell with plasma/laser. They just got lucky those weapons worked. The forerunners though definitely designed them around destroying biological matter

Coolfrymaster he said intentional or unintentional guns to fight the flood

If it's unintended then it isn't *designed* to fight the flood, now is it?

Well oni did find an ancient human ship so they are out there

They also recovered data and materials from ship ruins to build the Hellcat class Mjolnir. As for your question, the Ecumene likely broke down and recycled any Ancient Human tech and evidence of their civilization having existed, the Forerunners were kinda pricks like that. They might have kept some ancient human weapons to disassemble and study, since that was the one area that the Ancient Humans were not inferior to the Forerunners in The Ur-Didact says in the books that Ancient Humanity, in collaboration with the San Shyuum, made weapons which the Forerunners, including his elite Promethean troopers, had no defense against, allowing them to partially-compensate for the ludicrous numerical advantage and tech superiority of the Forerunner forces. As for ships, considering the Didact's Star-Hopping plan targeted only the most-important human worlds and used Slipspace superiority to paralyse the Human military and keep them from interfering as the Ecumene decapitated the empire at Charum Hakkor, and the fact that during the siege, there were San Shyuum resupply Armadas being cut off from aiding the world, do that means that human and San Shyuum forces were still present, and it's not unlikely that some would try to flee from the Forerunners when they learned that Charum Hakkor was doomed, likely outside the Galaxy, and if so, the fleets left behind, dormant or caught in the range of the Halo Array, might still be around.

you see forerunner ships in halo wars 1

Bryan Galdamez nah bruh I was talking about ancient Humanity

Fuck that would be so cool if chief comes across an old ancient human weapon

This Is Not How You Type Normal Sentences.

That would be interesting

There already good

DMR is still powerful, depending on how good your aim it can be better than BR

@@TheMhalpern I was making a joke based on the controversies prior to the weapon tuning update back in 2013. I know the DMR is still useful. ;)

@@rosegraham5283 been a while since I played but if i were to knock off the rust, I would do better with DMR than BR usually, hence why its my primary even in closer quarters maps, when I don't have it available I will do almost as well with the Magnum, I remember in H4 getting an extermination once in SWAT with the magnum, mostly luck with where I was and where they spawned, what the magnum lacks in reticle range, it makes up for in ROF, the AR is almost useless in my play style,

Its insanely useful for me when I'm in a PvP match. The reason being because I figured out how to make use of it at close range and I'm more of a sniper player than anything.

@@keulron2290 same, keep the reticle at head height wherever you are looking, and its one of the fastest killing mid-long range non-power weapons in the game, not far ahead of BR though, assuming not all rounds crit, but it can make a difference, If I am expecting close range and I dont have something like a shotgun available, SMG, as it is exceptionally good at the ranges the DMR stops being effective at,

@Melissa Waterman well if it's in the game then it's considered canon

I mean a mac cannon is basically a extremely beefed up spartan laser

I just remembered that condors have Spartan lasers on them

@William Isaacson yes really, but whatever. Its the same type of energy, but a mac canon is 10x stronger. Simplem

@William Isaacson its a high velocity laser round, you are aware the spartan laser shoots 3 shots consecutively to make it look like its one direct beam correct? The mac cannon is just a super amped high velocity version using the same energy.

I love food
