In Response To: Re: like this point (General Battuta)


: Flood introductions in 2 and 3 were abortive and kind of subdued. 2 just
: threw us in with 'The Flood is open us!' and we were right to the business
: of killing them with the help of our badass Covenant Spec Ops squad. 3 did
: a little better, but again, because we were in radio contact with allies,
: because we were on home turf, because we had a clear objective beyond
: 'Run!', the Flood were more space bugs than horrifying space scourge.

: I wonder what they could've done differently to keep the Flood frightening.

: I remember thinking, upon my first playthrough of Halo 2, that the tiny
: repair sentinels in 'Sacred Icon' were the first manifestation of a new,
: machine-based threat contained in Delta Halo, and that each Halo contained
: its own apocalyptic horror.

I won't argue with you on Halo 2's introduction of the Flood, but 3 terrified me. An entire cruiser full of the things just blasting through the sky and landing right in the middle of a decently populated city? The implications are awful. That the Flood have apparently won the battle at High Charity, or at least to the point that they can get ships away, means that they could be all over the galaxy. Additionally, a single Flood ship touching down is far worse than the entire Covenant fleet in orbit. You can fight the Covenant - you may not win, but you can. If the Flood hit your world, you're pretty much doomed.
