Re: So, the array...
Posted By: Peptuck	Date: 4/7/08 4:53 p.m.
In Response To: So, the array... (kanbo) : In the first game, Cortana says "Halo doesn't kill Flood, it kills their : food". Guilty Spark, in the same scene, says that it will wipe out : "any life with sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood". I've : always thought that, ok, the Array will kill pretty much everything : except the Flood itself. And then, in Terminal Six in Halo 3, we see : "The [Halo effect] strikes our combined fleets. All ships piloted by : biologicals are now [adrift]." : But then... : In the level "The Covenant", during the last cutscene, Chief says : that they're going to light the ring, and Guilty Spark says "A : tactical pulse will completely eradicate the local infestation." : So... here, either Guilty Spark is telling us that activating 04 will kill : all the Flood on the Ark, or he's referring to the Human and Covenant : forces on 00 as an infestation? It also seems like everyone else thinks : that the Flood will be killed by the activation, and that the destruction : of the Ark (by way of the unfinished 04 collapsing under the weight of its : own actions and whatnot) is just a side effect. : So... is Halo killing the Flood, or not? Is it designed to "Wipe the : galaxy clean of all sentient life", Flood included as sentient? Or is : it trying to "Starve them to death"? The Halos kill the Flood, according to Spark and Terminal Six on Legendary difficulty. Cortana was either wrong (not the first time) or making a dramatic point. Either way, she wasn't telling the whole truth to the Chief during Two Betrayals.
