Roanoke Gaming what's the song at 0:25
Roanoke Gaming grunts and jackals are mainly used to make the big carrier forms but they can also turn into combat forms and over a certain time has passed a combat form will be used for bio mass or turn into a carrier form
So we never see infected Spartans because if there ever was....they'd nuke half the planet just to kill one turned Spartan. There's a protocol for this. Can't recall it. Pretty badass tbh.
Edit: There's a code-word called "Corrupter" UNSC are issued to use WMD to eliminate a infected Spartan.
Redo this series as a lead up to Halo Infinite's launch
You was born in 1989
It's wild listening to this now and hearing you say "15 subs" because looking at it over a year later, you're at 192k. Great job, dude.
Almost 300k now.
330k now
358k now
375 now 😂😂
400k + now guys, hope he reaches 1m by next Christmas
Unggoy and Kig-Yar can be made into combat forms. The true reason why we don't see them much is because bungie didn't create combat form models for them. That being said, they can definitely be used to make carrier forms, which also come from other combat forms too, and can be used as general biomass. So it can be used to make flood growth pods, different pure form variants, and spread the flood burn.
erickyboo interesting, I actually didn't know they could be turned into combat forms. I figured bio mass more than anything due to the lack of bone structure in the jackal and just overall size of the grunts
Bone density you mean, the bone structure of the Jackles is actually a masterpiece of anatomical architecture.
Hunters can be infected just not with infection forms, they must be infected through the airborne spores however any biomass from them is just that, biomass as the infected lekgolo lack the ability to form into hunters
all about that biomass fam!
Love ur vids man, no one ever really goes in-depth with the biology of fictional stuff, and it’s epic that you do.
In regards to the infected spartan, it is actually never encountered as “real.” The augmentation of spartans basically render the host unusable, killing the infection form. So Spartans cannot be infected. They are only found in multiplayer, due to the fact that multiplayer games are combat tests and simulations. They are simply placed so that units can prepare for the worst.
But it is always interesting to speculate!
Jim Jelly Jin Jam Jimbo Spartans can be infected it is just almost impossible
Jim Jelly Jin Jam Jimbo I don’t think this is true. Yes while the flood seen in halo 4 are a simulation and it is very hard for a flood to infect a spartan it is certainly possible.While a Spartan has never been infected in the lore so far it seems extremely likely that they can be as the flood infected the forerunners who had more advanced body modification than the Spartans and the UNFC does have protocols for use in the event that a Spartan is infected by the flood.
Arrowinaknee 277, there’s emergency procedures Incase a Spartan is infected? PROOF IT’S POSSIBLE! Forerunners were infected over 100,00 years ago, despite body mods we don’t understand or know the limitations of, THE FLOOD CAN INFECT ANYTHING!
its already been stated Spartans ARE vulnerable to Flood infection, Johnson wasnt immune because he was a Spartan I but because of a condition he got from exposure to a crate of Plasma Grenades going off near him. John himself isnt immune when the the book states Cortana was the one who saved him from an Infection Form. The field manual itself has protocols for if and when a Spartan is infected, allowing for WMD's to be used against them if all else goes wrong.
I'm pretty sure that carrier forms happen to any combat form when that particular combat form has outlived it's purpose or becomes old. Instantaneous carrier forms can happen, but can be formed from old combat forms. Grunts are hard to infect, which adds another layer of difficulty for the Flood. Usually the Flood uses Grunts for biomass along with Lekgolo worms, however if the flood do happen to infect a grunt, it will become *very* deadly.
Sgt Johnson did overcome the pod but it wasn't only due to the orion project. He had been highly irradiated from using a whole crate of plasma grenades causing his nervous system to be out of wack and the pod not being able to take control of him in time. He then kills it but still has a semblance of flood inside him.
How am I just now finding you???? I love your channel!! ❤️
While you're right for the most part about them being unggoy and kig-yar being used for Carrier forms are created under a variety of circumstances. If a combat form is damaged too badly damaged to be useful anymore it will turn into a Carrier form (losing 1 combat form to possibly gain more). Or when they're no longer useful I.e no more enemies to use them against. Or the one that we see in the games when there are more desirable forms I.e humans and elites. Don't take this to mean they can't be though grunts are about the size of a normal human (remember we're like a 7ft tall spartan) and in canon grunts are strong enough to rip limbs off however there knowledge is limited (small weapons and explosives). Compared to humans and elites which can use pretty much any weapon or vehicle. Also the flood form Spartans we see are simulations used to prepare Spartans if the flood threat was seen again but we do see one infected with a pod in the master chief edition of the infected game vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/7/71/Spartan_infectado_H2A.png/revision/latest?cb=20150317022535&path-prefix=es
kottadragon I agree with the combat forms becoming carrier if they are too damaged I've just always seen the legs of an unggoy if they're walking around in halo 1. That picture you sent, where was that? I don't remember seeing that in MCC
Roannoke Gaming its from the infection multiplayer game mode in halo 2 anniversary edition.
kottadragon ooohhh gotcha, I could never get in the freaking games so that explains why I haven't seen it lol
@@RoanokeGaming I think grunts were probably the carrier forms from 1 to 2 but as the lore got more fleshed out it was changed to any combat form that cannot perform its namesake.
So glad you ditched that intro and its a laugh and a half to see how far you've come in presentation.
Really diggin’ the science(y) vibe of you’re lore vids. Watched the RE4 and halo vids now, great stuff! Keep pumping out interesting content like this and your channel is gonna be awesome. New Sub!
Thanks for the sub bro! glad you enjoy the content! there will be more to come!
Anything with biomass can be a combat form humans and sangheli are mostly prominent as combat forms because of how well their bodys work for durability and damage dealing
I haven't really watched your older videos. You can tell that you've become more comfortable with making videos and have settled into your own.
I at first had no idea what you were talking about when you said the Grunts true name. Just like the Elites have a true name, the Sangheli (totally spelled it wrong my bad)
and the Grunt beinga Carrier pod? HOLY CRAP how did i not see that. it makes so much SENSE
my 12 yr old selfs mind would have been blown.
I would be so excited to see this type of flood at first and like what did the humans or forerunners like in first person and like one mission would take place in a forerunner city and see the different flood infantry ooo that would be so intresting
About the carrier forms: there were 3 originally drawn by the main concept artist at Bungie that was one with Grunt legs, one with human legs that was taller, and one that was a covenant Elite and even had nubby arms that were bone thin and unevenly broken close to the shoulder. Canonically the carrier is NOT a grunt, but they modeled the grunt legs based on the first of the three concepts. It does not make in game sense, it's just a choice in art direction. Grunts and jackals do not have enough bone mass (because the flood needs calcium according to original lore) for the flood to sustain a connection to the host. Grunt and jackals are instead fed on as biomass for late game evolution.
The flood lore between 1999 and 2004, so everything up until Halo 3's production post Launch of Halo 2, is retconned and gone. The changes to the lore are -NOT- explained with a handwave explanation from a character who isn't important to the plot as an excuse to just do whatever they wanted with the lore and gameplay. This is due to in-fighting between Bungie employees who all had different opinions on what the story should be about.
Hey Roanoke what's up I loved the video and I hope that the flood returns in halo 6
The carrier forms, if I remember correctly, are old combat forms that have been too damaged or become too old to fight. The flood biomass already accumulated on the combat form then works to incubate infection pods. It seems this process creates a gaseous byproduct that the carrier form then uses to expand and release the infection forms, or perhaps that is the gases that the internal organs of the host created through digestion and breathing, using those gases and putting them under pressure until they burst out from within the weak layer of flood biomass.
I believe the legs of an Unggoy or a Kig-Yar would be too weak to support the bulbous torso of a carrier form, of course the legs shown also seem to barely hold up the creature but the legs of an elite or brute combat form would be much more suited to the task. That doesn't mean that the Jackals or Grunts didn't play a part, we all know they are used as flood biomass for the protogravemind, gravemind, and keyminds, but perhaps they are used as nutrients to grow these new infection pods within the carrier forms. It should also be noted that carrier forms do not need limbs so they could be created out of simple flood biomass, they have been described as sort of boarding parties for infection forms, launching them outside of an airlock towards an enemy vessel or towards a planet's surface.
I always heard it could really be both
Well the Wiki says that the Unggoy and Kig-Yar being carrier forms has been disproved but I can't find evidence of it anywhere.
Well halo there Roanoke
I've never owned an Xbox so I only played one of the first Halo games but these videos are interesting and even though these things are fictional they somehow scare me...
Like...what if they or something similar were real? Imagine how utterly terrifying that would be.
10/10 horrifying my guy, I try to approach the topics as if they are real, and when you start learning how things work, its is absolutely terrifying haha
czcams.com/video/9TWMsYQ0fnk/video.html
I think a Hunter flood form would be scary as all shit.
Yeah, the floor would have to infect every separate worm, or at least an effective majority to make use of the form, but imagine A swarm of flood pods dog piling a hunter, them getting in and rapidly but one by one each worm gets infected.
The transformation animation would be brutal, literally a war inside a single hunter as the flood worms are ripped out by the regular worms in an attempt to purge them.
After all the worms are infected, the flood worms gather back in to the central mass (so yeah, imagine that animation!) and reform into a hunter flood, maybe if two hunters are present they combine into one giant Hunter out of its armor, i’m envisioning the almost literal rotting intestine monster walking around with super stretchy limbs that could shoot out towards the player or shape shifting abilities, such as shifting from a bipedal to a serpentine form.
It could act as an assimilator, a “ worm tongue”, grabs a suitable host and pulls into its mass where it holds it there until it’s infected by proxy before spitting out a new flood.
Yeah, lore wise would not make that much sense save for maybe being massive enough to start a slow moving proto gravemind but gameplay wise, that’s a nasty boss to fight and one that may technically be immortal.
Damn LMAO. I was only 3 in 2001. I started playing halo at halo 2 in 2004. I kinda always wanted to know where the flood came from but at the time there was no solid answer I remember getting halo ce in hopes that it would answer that for me lol.
In Halo wars 1 there are grunt and jackal combat forms
but I wonder why only in halo wars and not in the Original trilogy
Roanoke Gaming I’m not sure that’s a good question though I don’t think they thought of it when they first made the game otherwise they would have really resembled them in the original games
I swear I got killed and became a spartan flood In multiplayer campaign...but I could be wrong.
hmmmm, as far as I know, I dont think that happens
Roanoke Gaming oh hi Roanoke, I may be wrong, it was many years ago.
The flood is still the most powerful OP zombie to ever exist and be put into action. The smartest most vicious, disgusting, most infectious, and violent transformation and suffering thing to have ever existed. Most horrific zombie ever!!!
Just gonna throw this out there if we had infected spartans they’d most likely look like the ones from halo 2 anniversary infection
Total drama event episode
Can you do the strain?
Would like to see a video on the dark elves from elder scrolls
I could quite possible be able to get into that a little later on!
Now I'm a huge infected fan across many games, mainly halo and resident evil. What do you think would happen if somebody who was infected with the T or G virus, the Las Plagas parasite or just Albert Wesker himself was infected by the Flood?
Resident evil is too far out of the realm of science to tell but my guess is they would still get infected by the flood
The has unlimited potential when making there forms, you know that ?
Sick intro😎
haha thanks man!
Roanoke Gaming np👍🏻 I’ve just uploaded mine lol 😂
Doesn't keys survive for a while after infection, seemingly by sheer power of will, doing his damndest in the books to withhold as much info from the hive mind as possible giving it other, less important, memories
Is the infected Spartans in halo 4 mp canon? If so is it just the Spartans from the spartan 4 program that can be infected? Cause I know gen 2 and 3 should be immune or atleast difficult to infect. Hmmmmmmm
I'm going to leave the likes where they are because it's at 117.
fair enough haha
+Roanoke Gaming
Damnit, it changed. Might as well like it now! :)
Not all spartan flood forms look like that
Have you watched The Mona Lisa ?
some of them have human legs
*But can the Flood take on the Tsunami?*
Hey @RoanokeGaming are you gonna remake this with your newer sense of humor and editing??? It could be awesome.
That would be awesome.
botanical infection?
Parasitic
You people can be salty at me if you want I don’t mind, but I wonder if a genetically engineered human/flood hybrid could be created if they used the right methods of genetic splicing, what do you think Roanoke?
I believe ONI was trying to do that but they were never successful, I believe the flood DNA is too aggressive
Roanoke Gaming well maybe if they were able to somehow tone down its aggressiveness, then I think they’d be able to create a perfect hybrid.
Do warframe pls
Information dust, made from aliens, that makes happy furry animals turn into evil fungi? Terrible origin story.
If I could help, I would recommend 2 things. One, a script. Two, don't say "WHAT'S UP GUYS its..."
That's gay.
unfortunately I do write a script, but every once in a while I tend to go off topic lol but thats my opener fam! Gotta have the "Whats up guys!" how else will they know who im talking to?
that being said someone did say earlier to write the script then edit together 1-2 sentences at a time. I kind of like that idea. My next video will probably utilize that method
First of all, there's nothing wrong with being gay.
Second of all, stop saying such stuff.
Third of all, saying What's up guys it's ... is fine.
