Firefight Bonus Skull: Floodgate

[Rasanack]

A (Possible Bonus round) Skull that at the end of every set releases hundreds of Flood that reanimates dead bodies of the enemies.

 

I totally thought a flood skull would be added to the game. Something that cool would make the firefight experience so much better than it already is.

[Mr Biggles]

i like the idea but, were the flood even around back during the times of halo reach?

 

 

it just seems it wouldn't fit, tis all.

[Rasanack]

The Flood were around long before Halo Reach. They might have not been fighting then, however how could the Forerunners contain the flood if they "weren't around then"?

 

The Flood seemingly first entered the galaxy from the Large Magellanic Cloud at the edge of the Milky Way roughly 110,000 years ago, contained in cylinders in unmanned vessels where they were kept as a powder. A considerable amount of time passed between their initial discovery by prehistoric humans and their evolution into their current form. The Flood were eventually able to infect Human worlds, sparking both the Human-Flood war and, as a consequence, the Human-Forerunner war. However, the Humans successfully developed a 'cure' for the Flood infection and were able to eradicate it. It would be thousands of years before they were again able to threaten the galaxy.

 

The Flood was contained, and unable to reproduce and grow due to lack of hosts, and eventually died out. The only surviving specimens were contained in state of the art, high-security Forerunner research facilities, such as the Halo Installations and the Threshold Gas Mine. After the Flood threat was destroyed, Keyships were dispatched, and reintroduced the indexed species to their origins, sparking life back into the Galaxy again.

 

 

 

Thousands of years after the end of the Forerunner-Flood war, the human ship Spirit of Fire jumped from Arcadia to follow the signal of Professor Anders, who had been captured by the Covenant. They were led to an unknown planet, which happened to be a Forerunner Shield World. Containment measures on this planet had failed catastrophically, and the entire surface of the planet was choked with Flood biomass. Ground forces were deployed to investigate the presence of unknown hostiles sighted by the ship's radar. After fighting their way through Covenant forces, Sergeant Forge and several Marine squads were attacked by the Flood.

The surviving UNSC forces, which included Sergeant Forge, were ordered to recover some Elephants that were surrounded by Flood forms. After one was rescued, the small squad made their way into a site that would become a base. They then assembled a larger force to rescue the other soldiers. Following their successful rescue, the UNSC forces prepared to engage the Flood.

That would be so cool, and it would make firefight so much more fun.

So yes the flood was before reach

[Rasanack]

The Flood was definitely before most things.
