  • Want to know how each faction in the Halo universe manage and contain Flood outbreaks? Of course you do, so look no further!
    From Sentinel beams to glassing beams, today we're looking at some of the main methods of sterilisation that the Forerunners, Covenant and UNSC use in the event of a Flood outbreak, some of which we'll hopefully see in a few weeks (CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S THIS SOON) when the Flood make their glorious return!

    Today I thought it'd be fun to look at the different ways different factions in the Halo universe counter Flood outbreaks! Fingers crossed the Flood never invade our galaxy, but if they do I'd refer back to this video :^) Enjoy!

Can you make a video about Master Chief's armor and how he could get his older style of Mk.6 back because personally the art style of his armor makes him look like a tank that doesn't move while his other armor makes him look like a tall lean killing machine.

      I wouldn't say defenseless, after all regular Promethean weapons would be extremely effective against the flood due to them being able to fire at high rates and leaving nothing behind for the flood to reanimate. Though the galaxy would still be in trouble due to how few Prometheans there are when compared to the flood.

  • @horationelson2440
    @horationelson2440 Před 6 lety +58

    I am pretty sure that if one used a MAC round to hit the surface of a planet that is infested, it would have a similar effect to glassing. The kinetic energy would likely destroy large chunks of land, causing entire portions of the crust to crack apart, and this will likely kill anyone or anything on that area of the planet. Keep in mind that this is in regards to larger MACs that could be seen on ODPs or the Infinity, or more mid sized MACs, like the Spirit of Fire, or a valiant class. The MACs seen on frigates of Halberd class destroyers likely would have a similar effect to a nuclear weapon in yield.

    The best human weapon would be an ancient weapon. The weapon of fire and death, that burns and kills all.... The "napalm" would be a devastating weapon to the Flood, even used in the old methods. The UNSC could create a super napalm, that uses a combination the missiles, thermite, and fuel that could be launch from space. It flattens all large objects with the missiles, then melts objects the the thermite and finally burns everything with the fuel.

    @michaelmccabe3079 Před 6 lety +35

    Thermite is pretty easy to make, as it's literally a mixture of rust and aluminum powder. The tricky part is lighting it, as it takes a lot of energy. Magnesium is the usual method.
    Flamethrowers are a logical tactical choice, and would actually be better than plasma weapons. Plasma dissipates as it travels through air, whereas the jellied gasoline (usually done by mixing in benzene) ignites as it travels through the air, and sticks to the target as it burns (and sucking out all the oxygen from the air in enclosed spaces). The drawback of flamethrowers is the weight of the liquid fuel, as well as the reduced range. Conversely, plasma weapons require a lot of energy at the source in order to ensure that there's enough left burning when it hits the target, but can hit targets that are farther away.
    So, in short, Hunters armed with flamethrowers would be the tactical choice for fighting the flood, while Covenant glassing cannons and UNSC nukes can deal with anything too big or dispersed.
    The jury is still out on the effectiveness of tracer rounds, chemical weapons, and the various shotgun shot patterns.

    I feel like there should be a Flood inspired firefight game mode in Halo 5. It would involve the reintroduction of flamethrowers (Regular, Oni, and Napalm) along with various other flame based weaponry. The idea behind the game mode? Containment and Extraction. These new spartans haven't faced the greatest danger to the universe, so it would be a simulation gamemode. Maybe when "spawning in" in the beginning of the round, we could see the world digitalize in. The map could be used by up to 16 players. Various mini bosses could include flood infected/controlled vehicles, abominations (Juggernauts), ancients forms, etc. Maybe even have brutes come back as a potential enemy for the firefights and warzone matches.

    I honestly think that the covenant has had more encounters with the flood than we know in the lore and I mean like before even halo wars because even before halo wars they seemed to know exactly what the flood were and it looks like they built their weapons exclusively to counter the flood.

      Of course, nuclear weapons are only powerful if they detonate right on top of something they can conduct their energy to. Its like a match stick, it wont do much just sitting there. Add a LOT of fuel though...

    • @michaelmccabe3079
      @michaelmccabe3079 Před 6 lety

      Nukes are most effective when they airburst. 100-300 feet above the ground is typical. Anything within about 1/4 mile around ground zero would be incinerated, crushed, and irradiated to death. The blast wave beyond this would be damaging (how far depends on the size of the nuke, obviously), the thermal wave would probably not be as effective as radiation poisoning. Flood spores, especially, would be sucked in by the blast wave and irradiated beyond their ability to survive.

    On the section about nuclear bombs against the Flood, the Mjolnir armor's later models are powered by a miniature nuclear reactor that were used at least once in a self-sacrificing way in the books. If I remember right, it was used to take out an entire carrier in one blow, by a spartan that was near death after a firefight.

      High charity fell because of the Great Schism. The Covenant’s greatest warriors, the Sangheili and Jiralhanae, were killing each other instead of fighting the flood. This, combined with littered dead bodies from the ongoing civil war on high charity, made it easy for the flood to grow in the background of the three-way firefight.

Should've had high security doors that acts as checkpoints and automatically seals once you get far enough inside, a permanent shield barrier that activates over the entrance if an outbreak is detected, holopanels that can't be used by unauthorized beings and concealed turrets to deter them, chokepoints that have hidden defenses.
