    maybe, maybe not. If you remember Guilty Spark, he said this was one of many ringworlds. There might be flood on other ringworlds and activating them on Halo might have awoken the rest as well.

    Who knows...

    Slightly Off-Topic

    I got the Halo soundtrack today and one of the first things I did (Apart from listen to it) was to rip it to MP3 and put some of the files in my NS folder.

    Then I played marine.

    My God.

    Best NS Moment Ever.

    To an extend the Flood sporelings are like head crabs, but they detatch themselves from the host once they've finished injecting their genetic information.
  • TeflonTeflon Join Date: 2003-08-27 Member: 20289Members
    Actually they're more like Headsnarks.

    good call, teflon.

    good speculation, burr.

    and venmoch, the grenade issue is all personal preference. the fuse is so much sweeter than the stickies... the stickies take AAAAges...

    the only use for stickies, in my opinion, is to send a loaded grunt back at his own squad, to take out a few.

    i usually use the stickies as decoy grenades, and throw a frag when they're running away.

    1) Shotguns are about as cheap as they are in NS: One shot kills vs. flood. Sometimes you can catch two in the shot and take them both down. If you're not sure if your hit was 'clean', go whack the body with your gun so he doesn't get up again.
    <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    wrong, silly boy.

    typically they need one killing to hit the ground, and another killing before or after they get up.

    you gotta kill em twice. always twice. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Not always. If you shoot their head or chestish area they'll hit the ground and STAY down. And I've never had one get up that I've hit while he's down. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Oh yeah. Just to clear some stuff up, the "burstbags" are infested grunts. This came from the Halo.bungie.org website a while ago, when I was veritably obsessed with the game. Apparently the flood considered the Grunts "useless" and therefore use them to carry their spores. If I can find the link I'll post it, nublins <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    *EDIT* <a href='http://halo.bungie.org/flood/' target='_blank'>Here's</a> all the Floodtastic information that you'll ever need.

    nicely done, dubs.

    *ahem* I expect an apology Zig. I was right. They do have 3 different species for the flood.
  • ZigZig ...I am Captain Planet&#33; Join Date: 2002-10-23 Member: 1576Members
    i didn't see where it said that it was an infected grunt, tho.
  • Smoke_NovaSmoke_Nova Join Date: 2002-11-15 Member: 8697Members
    that's a moot point. I speculated that the Flood didn't use only humans and elites. You said they did. but I was righttttt all along.
  • GeminosityGeminosity :3 Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20667Members
    it definitely says grunts for the 'poppers'.

    One thing I noticed that's kinda scary was in the description for the 'infectious' stage. It said it plugged itself into the victim's chest and took over all motor functions. Think about it; that means the flood actually bypasses the brain instead of changing it, this means the poor people infected by it would still be alive and conscious but trapped in a body they can't control as it slowly mutates and corrupts o.O

    I'd much rather fear FaceHuggers. I just beat Halo all the way through and what happened to Captian Keyes? Gehh....

    Special ending on Legendary!? WHAT!? Must... find... cheats... *Dies*
  • BurrBurr Join Date: 2002-11-19 Member: 9358Members
    aha, but there are no cheats, you either play it alone or with a friend (I suggest with a friend, because the warthog ride is the best ever when you have a friend, racing to the end makes it funner!)

    I don't know if you could just switch over to legendary and just play "The Maw" (the last level), never tried, I wasn't cheap <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • Smoke_NovaSmoke_Nova Join Date: 2002-11-15 Member: 8697Members
    Once you beat it on Easy, you can switch difficulties. The only thing is that you get so used to things going down easy that you WILL die a lot when you switch.
  • BurrBurr Join Date: 2002-11-19 Member: 9358Members
    yeah, but what Im asking is if you can view the legendary ending by just switching over to legendary and then only playing the last level, or if you have to go through the entire game as legendary (I went through the entire game)

    Yeah, in legendary, I have to hide like a little girl alot, no kamikaze rushes for me! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah I did that on X-BoX, wasen't Co-op taken out of the PC version? If not, tell me where is it?

    yeah, in the worst move ever, co-op was taken out of the PC version...

    that was the best part about the game, to go through it with a friend.

    All the memories that I have of that game are in co-op mode, going to the control room in the scorpion while a friend flys around in a ghost (or even a banshee if you were lucky enough)

    Its still fun to play deathmatch with 3 other ppl, especially when your the best among them <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    best addition ever to a FPS, WEAPON BASH!!

    I mean, why *switch* to a melee weapon, when you can just club people to death with the haevy rocket launcher in your hands?! Sounds logical to me!

    nope, don't have the PC version, too crappy of a computer to do that

    uh-huh, it's great! I had to play with the control setup a tiny bit (switched weapon change with flashlight and moved weapon pickup to c) but the controls are really different but cool too =D

    It's so easy to throw a grenade, empty a couple of rounds and smack somebody about with the heavy end of your gun before climbing into a turret and blasting all their teammates compared to most other games <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    E: Use
    F: Flashlight

    As you can see all my controls are based around Half-Life. With a Keyboard and Mouse Jackel's are so easy, just run up to them and Melee them. LOL RIGHT THROUGH THE SHEILD BABY! Mouse+Keyboard > Controller.
