In Response To: Halo Wars canonical issues *SP* (Avateur)


: But you expect me to believe that a planet with that much Flood covering the
: surface that has had the Flood on said surface for who knows how long
: (maybe when the Covenant showed up, maybe far longer) is only just now
: developing a proto-Gravemind the moment I show up in time to kill it?
: Also, where's the altering of the atmosphere? I saw how quick the Flood
: appeared to get a proto-Gravemind going in H1 with only a few resources,
: and I saw how quickly they began to alter High Charity in H2 (not to
: mention they already had a Gravemind).

We don't know much about the Flood in Halo Wars. They could (and probably do for that matter) have a Gravemind.

Its important to remember though that the final phase of the Flood, interstellar, is utterly dependant on capturing ships from other species.
At least that's what the Halo 3 Bestiarum tells us. They don't have the means of creating them on their own.

When you think about it, having the Flood on this Shield World might not really be much different from having them running around Delta Halo 200 years prior to Halo 2.
Why would the Flood be on the Shield World?
Why would they be on the Halos for that matter?
For all we know, which just isn't very much, both questions could have the same answer.

As for the Forerunner ships, again we don't know. It wouldn't be too hard to think of a reason why they wouldn't have been present at the final battle or even if they had been placed there by means unknown after said battle.
It wouldn't really require too much imagination stretching.
