In Response To: Re: My interpretation: (Bry)


: Well, its not exactly something we can be totally confident about.
: The whole 'immune to the Flood' thing...
: The HGN was meant to clarify what really happened with Johnson and if you pay
: attention, none of the Infection forms actually get their teeth into him,
: as it were.
: I don't think he was immune to the Flood at all.

: The stuff that was put into First Strike was trying to explain away what Eric
: Nylund thought happened to Johnson. This was one of the areas regarding
: the novels where Bungie seemed to make it clear they were never
: particularly happy about it. Boren's Syndrome etc.
: One of the goals of the HGN was to set things straight regarding Johnson
: escaping the Flood, ie, that he's a Spartan 1 and just fought his way out
: by being a bloody good soldier.

: You can't really go by the cutscene in Halo CE, because the Flood in that
: scene were completely AI controlled, not scripted. So its random.
: Sometimes they get stuck on the doors, etc.
: Sometimes they attack Johnson, sometimes they don't. On some playthroughs
: I've seen Johnson get through the entire sequence without a single
: infection form latching onto him.

I will also add this: Don't you think if there was a "cure," or at least some kind of immunity to the Flood that the Forerunners would have found it during some hundreds of years (forget how many) of research? They tried everything they could right up to the very last second, and it even seems that they left the Sentinels and Monitors to continue such research for the next 100,000 years.

"BS Hoax" indeed.
