It’s these kind of operations where you really wish there was some Spartans to send instead of a bunch of unhinged marines, but ya work with what you have! Was a hella fun operation that made me want to replay floodgate from Halo 3. Hope you guys enjoy!
UNSC BRASS: why do we keep sending these guys on suicide mission? ONI: They are a unique mix of expendable and invulnerable that's really hard to come by with marines.
In short their chaotic nature has led to them completing successful operations that we’d normally send Spartans to do, but these binguses seem to come through no matter what
I remember some nasty details from the first couple of books about the infection forms like; They have a stench of decay, their body is fragile and hollow, and covered in slime. They “walk” on a series of tentacles on their underside, and when infecting a host, use them to grip on tight. Then they’ll expose sharp needle-like tentacles that drill into the spinal cord, and tap into the central nervous system of their prey. Once in control, the form burrows into the host and full removes the consciousness and motor abilities of the original, all while keeping memory of useful information like firearm and vehicle control.
The flood is called the flood because it is a reference to the flood of noah. A mass devastation of all life that wasn’t saved on “the Ark”. Sound familiar?
You know the flood is terrifying if Jebb and his fellow Elites joined Ignis Corps in order to eliminate the hive. Also, that ending where everyone is running for their lives and 1 by 1 they are taken out by the Flood and left behind to die. Then the Extract lands and as people are moving towards it, a flood pod lands directly on it, that is truly tragic and hilarious. Ignis Corp has the worse luck and highest casualty count I've ever seen in Arma.
Well, to be fair, the Elites almost certainly did not know anything about Ignis, they were 100% told by the UNSC that these guys were the best pick for an OP like this, and they technically weren't wrong...
@@robopope7584 Thing is, the Lamentors would still have a badly damaged Thunderhawk still work, with a half-dead squad of badly wounded marines on board that almost fails to escape atmosphere due to the sheer amount of damage to it, but closely followed by hundreds of civilian ships packed full of survivors.
@@EPIC2X_ you cant go wrong with a group of idiots so cursed the laws of physics gets confused. (see: flying ragdolls and flying vehicles.) they have the highest sucess rate with the highest casualties, all for the low price of 2 bucks and a half eaten can of pringles.
Okay, holy sh*t, they did good on the flood. I didn't expect the infection forms to actually be able to latch on and turn a player right then and there.
That ending though, it was actually really sad, I mean imagine actually being one of those marines and over the radio you just hear, “ Extract’s gone “, and then just, “ that things on a timer “
Not Sgt. Johnson. The nature on "How" he survived is classified and risks EVERYTHING. It's tippy toppy secret type stuff and only Dr. Catharine Halsey knows and understands (Just an old man with back problems and a degenerative CNS so the flood can't latch onto it. He can be infected, but it does nothing, so he's virtually immune cause he's old.) Imagine that.
@@temporaryalien5573 Try it, I'm a coward. We don't have spines, aint that right Scoob? Now let's put eggs in our shoes and beat it, before we're the one's that's toast. Come one Scoob!
Especially when the Flood are around, if you're spleen's doing something it's not supposed to, eh... I give you 5 seconds before you become a Combat Form.
I love Jays thought process: “If fighting the flood as a 7 foot tall super soldier in power armour gave me nightmares, what would happen if I did the exact same thing but as a normal Marine… What can go wrong?”
Like really, it's always the Halo Ops that either get the most kickass endings or the most sad ending. Not complaining of course. God imagine if they were able to implement flood infection forms that could infect entire vehicles like in Halo Wars 2.
Sending a biological force of non-hermetically-sealed power armor wearing soldiers against a threat that literally absorbs you if unprotected seems like a BAAAAD idea. There is a reason why they glassed the entire bottom half of Africa, no evac.
@@jj2king It WAS the whole continent, Lord Hood got pissed that the Elites turned it into a giant mirror. Of course for obvious reasons it had to be done, but still.
@@jj2king Lord Hood was actually exageratting, they didn't glass all of East Africa, because we see it later in Halo 3 [both in space and land] and there's no glassing damage, also nothing at all after 3 [which fits with the thing i just said about the state of africa being "glassed"] the elites glassed a lot, but it was never "the entire continent" as hood says.
I like to think the Jebb's last name is "the Sangheilli" or just "Sangheilli", which also make think of Elites trying to be closer to their Human comrades and adapting parts of human culture and taking just really normal first names, but just not taking a last name other then Sangheilli.
2:27-2:31 is the single most haunting moment in this video. There's no combat, no gunfire, and yet you KNOW there's something out there, you can hear it screaming. And the muffled voices of the team just make it even eerier to me.
Amazing how quickly Tails was able to go from being scared of the Elites to domesticating them at 1:41 and having a four man beef squad following him around everywhere.
7:14 Hearing the flood music activated my fight or flight instincts along with some PTSD from playing this late at night when I was 7 years old not knowing the horrors ahead of me😂
Gotta love Arma 3 physics and glitches! And gotta love Ignis for diving headfirst (literally) into them! Great video, gonna go straight to Cypher’s after this! Highlights: 1:13 3:02 4:50 5:14 5:37 5:53 8:28
Thinking of the Flood in ARMA just has me seein a horde of glowin popcorn kernels running over troops and vehicles. Then to hear the screams and panic of everyone on that server as they then get served on a mangled and bloody silver platter
I explained the Flood to my parents as " space zombies " and they consoled me by going " well, they're waaaay far away in space right now. They can't get you and by the time they get here, you'll be a strong soldier and you can beat them. " - and as an adult I look back on that fondly.
Somehow you did a classic, gritty military story: JF unit goes in, takes heavy numbers, plants the nuke, goes to the extract only to have to blow up in front of them. Great work on the editing and content!
that little story at the beginning is funny due to my experience with the flood starting with halo 3 and only watching halo legends before hand so when I got to flood gate and suddenly the marines I have as allies start screaming horribly as they turn into flesh monsters, I can safely say the trauma didn't go away. Even worse is that the mission with the infested high charity existing made me up and literally stop playing and not return to finish it for literal years happened so, I find it funny you decided this was some kind of good idea, especially with ignis being ignis. I think you just fed the flood more than you did with actually killing it.
When I first played Halo 3, maybe 13 years ago or something? I was only 12 and my god did Cortana (The Mission you're speaking about, with high charity) scare the life out of me. I hated that mission just because It was terrifying. Even still makes me uneasy now 😂
Im gonna be honest... when the flood showed up on High charity my 4-5 year old mind went "This shotgun is my fuck off stick, it makes thing fuck off, now....NIGERRUNDIAYO! "
Oh, for me it was floodgate that made me stop playing for years. Mainly the first section right before you enter into the big building where you watch a marine get infected up close made me turn off the Xbox right away and leave that game for months
@@piperkrier3783 I always reverted my checkpiont to save that dude... saved whover I could, you have to abandon the large group down below, if some live theynlive, I focus on the 2-3 behind the sandbags, throw a incendiary on the roof to stave of the infection forms, focus on the combat forms at the gate, finish the remaing infection forms and kill the remaining enemies, after that I gather ammo, grenades and arm the marines with close quarters weapons, move in quick and let a single infection form latch on the marine, and while their still clumped around him shoot one, make them pop and shoot the one he's holding back, you shoot it first then the swarm he gets instantly infected if another one manages to get to him. After saving him rush out and throw grenades, focus on clumps with them, keep moving and get into melee range, make the flood focus on you and kill the ones attacking marines, by then if you did well, you should have up to 5-7 marines, equip with shotguns scattered about, then give whatever else works, then save the last 2 marines running away from a clump, in the container before heading into the large complex with the flame team, you'll find a dead officer with a shotgun, arm another marine or yourself, I cant remember if theres more marines after that
for me it was Halo CE. My cousins and I all were on the couch (all 10 of us) to play this new game that the oldest of us got. When it got to the flood levels, we were all screaming. Then the Library level started.
I love Toast's response at 5:59 because it could be taken as 1) he is happy the game is glitched again, or 2) he sounds like a man who isn't all there just being happy that they are on the ground again after such a massive height he was sent to.
"I don't remember THIS episode of the Magic School Bus" is now* my new favorite quote. Also, the Flood Warthog, or FloodHog if you will, is terrifying. A Massive, writhing hunk of spores rushing at you on four wheels? F*ck that. Sgt. Shotgun with his jelly on the ceiling made the right call...
This was the perfect Flood combat experience, from calm starting to the full on Armageddon ramp up, the evac destruction just was the cherry on top, a action horror movie about the flood would work nicely, imo.
I love this arma group. everyones fawkin hilarious and raptor just fits right in with each reply equally hilarious and chaotic. i love these vids and they help me a lot
Rubix, you never fail to amaze me with how far you survive before dying to completely ridiculous means. Case in point: Getting domed by a Flood asteroid.
You know, I've seen a lot of Raptors videos especially when it comes to the horror aspect like his Aliens and SCP ops. But I swear, anything that's got the flood squirming around in tight dark corners ready to turn you and everyone around you into biological hell inducing soup just makes me want to 'NOPE' the hell outta there man.
Not gonna lie. When I was younger and I first encountered the flood as I played Halo. I had nightmares of a scene similar to this 4:13 for a while. Haha
On this trip of the magic schoolbus, we'll be looking at the infested blood vessels of a flood structure. Don't forget to bring you mask and a full pistol incase you get attacked.
This video by far has been the funnest I've seen. Jay me and you got something in common when I was 7 I played halo 2 and I fought the flood I swear I could see the eye of the flood spider's in my house so I couldn't sleep. But anymore I love killing the flood. But I like how you guys just get thrown across the map. Great video. Also I'm happy to see you guys did a halo flood mission it was a suggestion I had given on the discord server so I'm really happy you guys did it. I also look forward to your next flood op.
As a fellow veteran of HALO CE who had to endure the Library level 16 TIMES before I cleared it, watching you guys do this was very therapeutic. Glad they never had your ideas for flood warthogs and tanks, that would've been TERRIFYING
I love how lord bepis was on point with like 10 others plus raptor an infection form appears and he proceeded to turn and run through all his squad like "Ur turn for point guys I'll take rear guard way back here"
" I can't go to sleep tonight because I'm scared of the Flood. " For me it was being scared that Hunters would bust into my house, explode my parents, explode my dog then explode me because I didn't own a Halo 1 pistol so how was I gonna shoot them in the back if they busted into my home? I was five. Cut me some slack. Lol
The Flood has always been more terrifying to me. Over 100,000 years old it spreads quickly and in the words of R'tas Vadum "One single Flood spore can destroy a species." And it collects ALL the memories and intelligence of EVERYONE it infects. Bloody terrifying.
That maneuver he was trying to pull at 6:08 had to have been an attempt to... 1) Generate momentum by rotational force applied to the butt of the shotgun. 2) Entrance the Flood bioform with what he would have proposed to Ignis Command as "Elegant Ballet Boomsticking" 3) Realizing trauma from his early life manifesting in fear which released enough adrenaline to shoot his mouse across the desk as he himself lived the experience of punching a Flood bioform to save himself from a horrible infection. God... I miss you guys sometimes.
A mission with lots of casualties, check, random bouts of stupidity, check, terrifying horrors of unending proportions, check, large vehicles being sent through the sky, check. This is in fact an Ignis op, in case it wasn't immediately obvious. Also love the fact you had some elites with you, sadly no spartans to assist, which is probably why this op was handed to Ignis.
It’s these kind of operations where you really wish there was some Spartans to send instead of a bunch of unhinged marines, but ya work with what you have! Was a hella fun operation that made me want to replay floodgate from Halo 3. Hope you guys enjoy!
face it Jay. ignis is basically the suicide squad
I prefer to see marines getting some PTSD it's way better
Yea
Rubix could you play star Citizen again ? Please ?
It's sad watching everyone die from a nuke, and sad halo music. But at least we get some sick fuckin' jazz at the end.
UNSC BRASS: why do we keep sending these guys on suicide mission?
ONI: They are a unique mix of expendable and invulnerable that's really hard to come by with marines.
Usually only Spartan 3's have that balance, it really is quite remarkable.
Plus they get the job done usually will take a lot more Marines to do that I only took them one platoon of Marines
@@zigzaghyena that's were the term inexpensive comes into play.
The Monarch has a henchman like that
In short their chaotic nature has led to them completing successful operations that we’d normally send Spartans to do, but these binguses seem to come through no matter what

Ah yes the quintessential flood experience

Except the Flood, who aren’t just aptly named but require the entire Covenant fleet glassing planets from orbit to eradicate.
MFW the toilet explodes because someone put a whole roll down it
Good thing I'll never have to face that fear ahahahahahahahahatheeconomyisamess
@@thudlite4319 lol think bigger. The Halos, duh doy.
The fact that there's infection forms that can actually take over your body and then immediately attack your squad is absolutely terrifying.
Didn’t they already do an scp op where the dead turn into zombies and attacked their Allies if you didn’t stuff them in a body bag though?
This is immediate danger compared to preventable zombies.
I firmly believe that the flood is the most powerful and terrifying of all video game zombies
I remember some nasty details from the first couple of books about the infection forms like;
They have a stench of decay, their body is fragile and hollow, and covered in slime. They “walk” on a series of tentacles on their underside, and when infecting a host, use them to grip on tight. Then they’ll expose sharp needle-like tentacles that drill into the spinal cord, and tap into the central nervous system of their prey.

The Halo 3 experience
"All Squads, extract"
The Flood: And we took that personally
"And we infect all but one of them!"
"what happened to the last one?"
"Doint know, but he had a funny bo- *Blinding light* "
Don't the Flood go after intelligent life? Why are they going after Ignis?
Also, please tell me that Jebb the Elite survived!
Oooh
I'm not sure anyone survived
Extract was destroyed and the nuke was on a timer so no
Burn
Because ignis has become a threat to the universe
I feel like “flood” is the perfect name for a thing that overwhelms you with numbers, also this video just gives me halo 3 vibes with the elites
I prefer to call them popcorn
the flood was also named that in an allusion to the imagery of Christianity
e.g. "halo", "the covenant", "the arc", etc
@@Biodeamon That explains why they have a ship called the UNSC “Arguing Semantics”.

There was no Flood on Reach

thats only different from a normal Cypher video by the lack of giggling at dick jokes tbf

3:42 lordbepis immediately noped the fuck out without saying a word xD
and in the end I still perished
" I can't go to sleep tonight because I'm scared of the Flood. "
For me it was being scared that Hunters would bust into my house, explode my parents, explode my dog then explode me because I didn't own a Halo 1 pistol so how was I gonna shoot them in the back if they busted into my home? I was five. Cut me some slack. Lol
Yeeeesss!! I've been waiting to see you guys take on the flood! Great way to start off my Friday, thanks! :)
Well that was… terrifying.
As the Flood always is and should be.
I’d kill to be able to watch the full VOD
The Flood has always been more terrifying to me. Over 100,000 years old it spreads quickly and in the words of R'tas Vadum "One single Flood spore can destroy a species." And it collects ALL the memories and intelligence of EVERYONE it infects. Bloody terrifying.
That combined scream by the flood at 6:30 was terrifying, like if this was fr my nerves would be shot XD
That maneuver he was trying to pull at 6:08 had to have been an attempt to...
1) Generate momentum by rotational force applied to the butt of the shotgun.
2) Entrance the Flood bioform with what he would have proposed to Ignis Command as "Elegant Ballet Boomsticking"
3) Realizing trauma from his early life manifesting in fear which released enough adrenaline to shoot his mouse across the desk as he himself lived the experience of punching a Flood bioform to save himself from a horrible infection.
God... I miss you guys sometimes.
The flood feeds of intelligence. So sending you guys is great tactical decision, since it wouldn't find any
Honestly trauma at a young age via the library? Relatable.
Brothers get the flamer, the HEAVY flamer.
Mate... I don't know which map is this but all the editing that has been done on it makes it AMAZING!
A mission with lots of casualties, check, random bouts of stupidity, check, terrifying horrors of unending proportions, check, large vehicles being sent through the sky, check. This is in fact an Ignis op, in case it wasn't immediately obvious. Also love the fact you had some elites with you, sadly no spartans to assist, which is probably why this op was handed to Ignis.
0:15 For me it was both the Library and 343, they made me physically ill to play.
dude i love the necromorphs
You gotta love it when ArmA ArmAing just makes everything funnier.
As terrifying this would be, the random TF2 death sounds keep me laughing.
"Oh look a flying Flood tank"
"Wait what...."
This video gives me flood gate flashbacks from halo 3 first flood experience and stuck with me forever.
I’d say one of the best moments form the video was “all this planing is not going to matter” and the moon being questioned.
From funny conga line to effective firing line. Good work, marine!
On 5:46 I didn’t think their voice could go that high
That was awesome. Makes think of what we could've had if Bungie had leaned into the Flood more.
5:46 that moment when you thought they already threw the kitchen sink at you.
Your Physics Mod is amazing. Never get rid of it, no matter what.
Yours and Cyphers video made my day.
some dude told me about The Flood from Halo...
I had no idea what it was...
*BUT THEN YOU UPLOADED THIS*
Oh god they even got the infection forms infecting,t his is amazing - kudos lmao
oh my god the music at 7:14 gives me anxiety just remembering it all. Somehow the music is so tense, like it's an alarm and not music.
Cypher and Rubix back to back?
Todays shift started out as a bad one, but it's ending on a good note now.
daaahhaaamn! great video as always rubix
DAmn that was fun. I would be very happy for you all to do more Flood operations please!
I just love these kind of videos. You guys fighting a bunch of shit you really have no chance of winning against
Tmw when jay yelling “hey sir are you ok?” Triggers Siri on your phone
1:16 - This is the first yoga pose they teach you in Hell.
