    Halo CE gives the player the illusion of Sgt. Johnson being killed and infected by the Flood, however we know that's not the case. Today, we look at how Johnson survived the Flood, and escaped Alpha Halo...

      Johnson: We've stumbled onto something they're so hot for they're scrambling over each other to get it. Well I don't care if it's God's own anti son of a bitch machine or a giant hula hoop, we're not gonna let them have it, what we will let them has is a belly full of lead and a pool of their own blood to drown in, am I right marines?

      Hello, so today, while having a big thOnk on the white throne of wisdom, i got struck by an idea... No one took Noble 6` helmet, Its left where he dropped it.
      If he was killed, someone should have taken his helmet as a trophy, but nobody did. This can only mean that there was no one left to take it as a trophy, or 6 escaped and taking it as a trophy would have had no point.
      Amirite or amirite?

    The best thing about the first Halo game introducing the flood was the mystery of it, if you had no knowledge of the Halo Universe when you start playing it you'd just naturally assume it was some Covenant experiments gone wrong. But the level itself where you make your way through a structure that is basically abandoned, eerie and with the music creeping over your shoulder like some ghostly hand really helped create this uneasy atmosphere to show us the Flood. Then when you finally get to the location where the marines were ambushed and you see the footage and realise you're about to fight for your life puts you one the spot and in my experience, it was terrifying. I was about 7/8 when Halo was released on the first Xbox and not having played too many games with zombie like creatures definitely gave me the chills.

      Since the path to i05's library was littered with flood infected elites. MAYBE... the flood used their stolen knowledge & memories of said elites to radio for reinforcements, only to hijack the covenant phantoms that arrived, and use their stealth technology to hijack & infect the In Amber Clad, giving the gravemind a golden oppertunity to use its slipspace drive to bypass the covenant fleet and slingshot the ship into High Charity after fully converting the friggite.

They made some immune soldiers that couldn't be turned to flood and were sent in the middle of the flood infestation. Their genetic modifications made the flood go rampant and kill each other .

    I thought that he was immune to the flood due to high exposure to plasma grenades when he had to hold an abandoned covie position with nothing but a box of 'em. I distinctly remember either Cortana or Halsey mulling over the practicality of exposing marines to the same stimulus with the intention of making them flood proof before eventually coming to the conclusion that the fatality rate would be so high as to render it pointless.

      what i think could be cool is if ONI studied some of the properties of the flood and use that to create their own super cell.
      This super cell alone will dramatically enhance a person, especially things such as eye sight, hearing, and smell. The cell will also make them more primal.
      These new super humans will be called the Athens, but because they have a greater focus on animal instincts they are considered super hunters and not super soldiers
      they are primarily used for assassination missions or anything that primarily anti infantry related.
      while Athens are not are strong or as durable as Spartans, they make up for it with there better health regen and agility.
      This makes them extremely lethal at close engagements

    Johnson's rallying speech in Halo CE, depending on which one the game plays, are the best lines he had.
    "Once again it is our job to finish what the fly-boys started. We are leaving this ship platoon and engaging the Covenant on solid ground. When we meet the enemy, we will rip their skulls from their spines, and toss 'em away, laughin'! Am I right Marines?"
    To which the platoon shouts in unison "Sir, yes sir!"
    In my opinion, one of the best rallying speeches ever made in any game, book, film or TV show.
    Edit: I take it back about Johnson's speech being the best in any book, film or TV show. There are some bloody good rallying speeches.
    But in the games I've played, and definitely in the Halo series, Johnson's speech beats them all.

      That's good, but I have to say President Whitmore's speech at Area 51 in Independence Day takes the cake. For fictional ones at least. For historically based movies, Patton's speech to the Third Army at the beginning of Patton wins.

      @@Locutus494, I take it back. The speech in Independence Day was very good and it's been so long since I watched that film that I'd forgotten about it. Whitmore beats Johnson.
      As for Patton, I haven't watched the film, but I looked up the speech and it's pretty good. Not quite my cup of tea but it is a good speech nevertheless.

      A lot of Johnson's character influence and quotes in Halo CE came from the movie Aliens. I think he was originally just a nod to and spoof of the Sgt of the marines in that movie. He became his own character more so in Halo 2 and 3
