thread_title:  Halo Wars 

message: I have read about a type of Flood that was encrypted into Halo 2 called the Flood Juggernaut, which was removed because it was considered to powerful and hard to beat. Should I include this in the article? I will refind the source if necessary.  Nite Owl  II 05:35, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless you have a reliable source for it, it should not be in the article. --Der Wohltempierte Fuchs (talk) 13:48, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Flood Juggernaut

message: I think there is a serious flaw:
Not once in the article is the role of the rings explicitly stated. In the intro paragraph, all it says is that the Forerunner commited mass suicide, and doesn't mention the rings. In the paragraph concerning the first game, it is written as if the reader already knows the true function of the rings. "When Master Chief learns of the devastation that Halo would cause to humanity and all other sentient life if activated,..." This is rather confusing for someone who hasn't played the games before, and that's exactly the sort of person that this article is for. 
There needs to be a sentence somewhere in the intro that explicitly states what the rings are for, and that there are seven of them. A another good addition would be to mention in the Halo CE section that the ring in question is reffered to as Installation 04. The reference to Installation 05 in the Halo 2 section is a bit of a floater, and adding a similar line in CE would fix that.
Any suggestions for how to restructure the article?

thread_title:  The rings 

message: A few months after Halo was released, I remember being told that Bungie had tightly controlled all information about the Flood to keep it a total surprise. Then someone at Bungie tried to leak information (whether or not they succeeded I can't remember) and got fired for it. Has anyone else heard this rumour? Can anyone confirm this rumour? Because if it is true, I think it'd make an interesting addition to this article. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 23:40, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Okay. Just thought I'd ask and see if anyone else had seen it. I didn't particularly believe it nowadays anyway. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 00:58, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Cant the flood speak? Is it possible?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.117.251.202 (talk) 06:18, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not true, in Halo 3 the Gravemind spoke through the Prophet of Truth as he was infested, also it spoke through 3 tank forms at the same time. Since the Gravemind is only the physical manifestation of the combined intelligence of all flood forms, whatever the Gravemind can do, the flood can do, as they are one in the same. Never say "not evolved enough" by the way, it's the most unscientific thing a biologist could say as it implies evolutionary "levels".--Hoyt596 (talk) 00:31, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Can the flood speak?? 

message: Umm... just FYI, but "half of the African Continent" was not glassed.  only the area in and around Voi was, and the statement made by Lord Hood was exaggerrated for theatrical and argumentative effect.  In other words, he exaggerrated because he was angry. 75.129.97.238 (talk) 10:58, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Halo 4 

message: I remember reading from the Halo wikia[1] that they assimilate information from all lifeforms and combine to act as a collective consciousness (useful to do complex tasks such as flying a spaceship). If that is true then they should be mentioned as a collectivist species much like the Borg.
