: Ok. For those who don't know the Halo was built by an ancient race to destroy
: another race called the flood. Those are the basics but from this I've
: noticed that the end of Halo bears a resemblence to infinity. First off we
: have an ancient device made by an unknown race. For the sake of argument
: I'm assuming that the race that built this was the Jjaro. Next it was made
: to combat a specific race. The way the flood are seems to indicate that
: they cannot be destroyed. This seems to me alot like the W'rkncanct'r in
: infinity. If I assume a little more mabye the flood actually are the
: W'rkncanct'r. I think this because the word flood seems like something a
: Jjaro AI would use to describe something that had no english translation
: like W'rkncanct'r. To make this all the stranger the device used to trap
: the W'rkncanct'r in marathon infinity was in a ring shaped space station.
: I'd say even with all the assumptions I've made that these are pretty
: strange coincidences.
First off, Flood is not a race, it's an infection, according to Butcher on the HBO forum. It's not that they can't be destroyed, or else I wouldn't be having much fun playing Halo, would I? :) It's just that the ancient race thought it best to really and truly nip the problem in the bud, so starving all the flood's 'food' was the way to go.
