Hey i got a quick question...well in halo, i know that the two combat forms are from mutated humans and elites, and the infection forms originate from the carriers...but where on earth do the carrier forms come from? THEY HAVE NO FACIAL FEATURES- THEYRE POINTLESS. What do you guys think? Am i missing something?

Yes... They're old combat forms that have mutated more...

but, then how is it when you shoot them, they explode? Like a pregnant ape with TNT up her snizz?

They explode because they do... Why don't you go up to one and ask it? Hmm????

There was a good flood document awhile back on HBO I think. It tells you all about the flood.

However, many carrier forms are older/damaged combat forms...or they could be grunts and jackals.

Also, I think the carrier form is missing a triangle (face) somewhere on it.

Lol, and they're older more mutated combat forms... That are filled with some gas, and when you shoot em... Well, explosive decompression....

maybe they used to b fluffy pink bunny, but then michael jackson got to them, and they all went insane, so now, they have sworn revenge on everything that isnt pink and fluffy!!!!

i- i- i read...that in a- movie.... 0_0

lol, theres a snook in your snizz!

what would an infected hunter look like? that would make for one powerful flood form.

his sheild would be too heavy and the floods arm would fall off. and his brain would come out of his arm hole.

Anyone want to make a biped? That would be cool.

I think thats what a flood juggernaut is....

you gotta be kidding me dude i saw it and i thought that just because of its aggressiveness but the things gotta have mutated like crazy i think the carriers are grunts jsut becuase of their legs the juggernuat could be hunter but i think it was just a combat form that when over some chemical waste from a ship

The carrier is definitely a combat that has over mutated, and I'm 90% sure juggernauts are hunters...

isnt it that the flood will starve if they control a hunter?.. lol. I remember from somewhere (no clue where) that flood need to eat bones, and since hunters are worms, they provide no food and are rarly used since they are only weapons that will die out after the flood gets to hungry

lol didnt know they were worms lol

I thought they were just big worms... I knew the worm part, but idk about the whole little worm thing....

Kirby, I have no clue about the bones thing... I though flood needed braiinnnssss.....

me either, but i like hunters.

why does gas explode technically the gas explodes so what you got going on in the flood carrier on why it explodes is the heat from the bullet ignites the vapor in their head causing KAPLOOIE that or the parasites inside start to rapidly multiply when the part they are in has massive impact*thats why when they fall boom or if you melee them boom* the parasite might feel that impact and rapidly multiply inside until the head cant take it anymore and than boom the reason why i cant believe its a old combat form is because 1)on halo one there was a ton and they were relativly new unless they age extremely fast 2) if the were from the old combat forms {marine and elite} wouldnt that mean that they would have some differences like the leg area? 3) my older reason the legs resemble a grunt very closely i hope that solves the mystery lol my fingers hurt

Its an older combat form, and why they blow up is either because of a volatile gas inside the "head", or the gas is under high pressures (whether volatile or not), and the sudden release of pressure causes it to explode. Explosive decompression. I think its that one, considering you don't see a fireball....

good point but liek i said dont you think the legs would be different if it was an old combat form from one of the two?

Go to halo.bungie.org and click on the story section, then click on the flood.

So after reading that, heres where everything stands:

1: Carriers are either made from creatures that are unable to be combat forms, or they are old combat forms. =P

2: Infections need a host with sustainable biomass and calcium (bones kirby!) to infect them.

3: They tap into the spinal column, meaning, no hunters=juggernauts.... Unless there is something not know about the flood yet...

The Flood were created by the Forerunner in a vain attempt to control populations...

juggernauts look like oversized and mutated popcorn flood lol

come on, look at these and tell me that juggernauts dont look like oversized mutated popcorn flood lol

what does a brute flood look like?

Brutes aren't dumb enough to be taken over.... they don't let thrie guard down...... untill someone rips off the scarabs gun and runs around with it.

what if they were like.. sleeping... and the flood like.. snuck up on them.. and took them over? what about that?!

duno... we've never seen a brute flood... wait till halo 3 they might be in that.

I have to dissagree... I think they're probably too dumb to be taken over....

Nope, no resemblance.... looks more like a mutated "fred" (UMT members may get that, i doubt anyone else will)

a mutated fred? yep i'm lost.... i'd liek t oknoww though lol.

fred is that stupid green long necked thing that is in the shape of a llama

Oh yeh that... I thought it sounded familiar.

jeez do you people not pay attention to obvious thins
large combat flood form-elite (has elite head hanging on back)
smaller combat flood form-human (looks like a human beaten to death with an ugly stick)
carrier flood form-grunt (compare size, fears, and tell tail feet)
thought you oughta know
