Man Henry was the best, couldn't speak english, tried protecting his human friends. Hell he didn't even initiate the hostility, Lopez did. Henry is a champ
@David Strickland I agree but not every elite would be as arrogant as the Arbiter, Henry would have easily won. But I am not sure if he would fit in that escape pod or not.
@David Strickland Henry is an Elite. Lopez is just a human. That pretty much says a lot. No way some marine would just handle an Elite, especially without a loaded weapon. Elites are trained from the get-go, it's part of their culture. Don't be delusional.
For those who don’t know much about the flood, the reason why burgundy wasn’t killed immediately by cranker was because she had extensive knowledge of how to pilot space craft. Instead of her being turned into a combat form, they did what happened to captain Keyes in halo CE, used her for knowledge.
Canon: Henry defeated Lopez but realized he was too big to fit in the pod with the criket-paddle. In a true act of heroism, Henry threw the criket-paddle into the pod, saving the paddles life. For he knew the paddle would have a greater role in the wars to come. #RememberHenry
I like to believe that Henry is the elite that hugs Johnson in the Combat Evolved legendary ending Edit- I completely forgot I even made this comment, but damn what a pleasant surprise to come back and find it getting this much attention
@ivan ivanovitch ivanovsky You forgot the Brethren Moons, and the fact Dead Space 4 would've expanded upon the origin of the moons and the next stage afterwards. Shit kept me up at night when I was 13
Granted, that’s because you’re playing as a 7-foot tall behemoth of a man: Take into account his: Physical augmentations The strength to effortlessly flip a tank Shield to prevent infection Mjölnir armour Any other advantages I am unaware of. In comparison, you’d be sending children to fight The Flood.
@ivan ivanovitch ivanovsky yea idk about chief effortlessly lifting a scorpion tank but i bet a warthog would be real easy for him. Unless i missed somethin in the lore where chief flips a tank
It's very clear that the writers were trying to make Lopez into this over the top, heroic badass, and yet everyone who watched this was rooting for Henry
Sorry for bumping an old comment, but I just found this video. Personally, I never did like Lopez. She never came off as the “Tough as nails, but gets everyone home” type, she just seemed like the “Asshole CO” type. I found her as likable as the ONI spook. Henry though. Henry’s cool. I like to imagine he beat Lopez, destroyed her body so she couldn’t turn, and managed to get picked up by the covenant cruiser. Then he was shamed and imprisoned for becoming a POW until the Great Schism where he was rescued by Elites and became a great warrior. Or, and hear me out, this entire movie is just backstory for the Elite spec ops commander from halo 2.
@@tylercasey6323 To be honest I can imagine Lopez sort of talking Henry down, even if he *could* fit in the pod there’s no goddamn way a covvie ship would pick up a human escape pod.
@@tylercasey6323 Actually there is backstory for Rtas Vadum in the Halo Graphic Novel. He has to deal with a different infestation during the Battle of Installation 04 that gets spaceborne from the Ring and nearly gets loose in the galaxy at large. Pretty badass story.
@@jerrell1169 even if Lopez wasn't injured she was fighting an elite not only that he was armed with a cricket bat, realistically he probably killed her in seconds, an elite is closer to the level of a Spartan than a marine

@@SouthDakotanDrifter lowkey I'll like to watch a fan film or just think about it, elites vs humanity, one baseball game 9 innings who ever wins wins everything, then humanity brings chief to bat and the elites get creamed
Benti was literally the best character in the entire story. Medic, deputy team leader, destroyed a proto-Hivemind trying to hotwire a slip space drive, trusted Henry and recognised that he was better with a gun than a bat and finally took down the traitorous Clarence while sacrificing herself. Everyone else was flawed in a way and most of them died. The coward and the mad scientist are the only 2 confirmed survivors.
Avalanche nah Henry and his elites were the best. They could have straight up prevented all of the deaths and infections if the idiots hadn't gunned them down. An elite was literally stomping one of the infected marines from Lopez' squad, with no weapon in sight, meaning he crushed that motherfucker in hand to hand combat.
Backyard Aviator Yeah! I know. I mean, that many elites all at least armed with bats or boards or something mixed with marines with assault rifles would have kicked ass.
loved Henry carrying Benti, hysterical thought seeing a marine being carried about in one of the games, kicking yelling and firing rounds all over while the elite just wort worts away
*Halo 6 opens* Arbiter tells chief he cant go withe him on his mission but he knows someone who can *on cue* Henry turns the corner *Chief approaches Henry does the most epic high-five multiple explosions* *Game Ends*
But if all of them had orion then, the flood would target them, the orion isn't a cure, it just makes it harder to infect, the infection forms won't go after the people with orion, but if everyone had it, they would go after them, because it's the only thing they can infect.
Johnson was not immune. Boren syndrome, the illness speculated to be the cause of his immunity, was made up by ONI to cover up illnesses caused by the Orion project.
@The Rational Rifleman Due to Johnson's augmentations, the Flood had a slightly harder time taking over his nervous system, which gave him enough time to push off the infection form and kill it, then proceeding to evade the Flood until MC arrived.
@@punctuationman334 No one mentioned "Boren syndrome" or how it was a cover-up until your comment. The original comment plainly says they already know and are talking about the Orion project itself. No one here is being fooled by the "Boren syndrome" crap that ONI made up, so I don't know why you left that comment, lol. Like other comments have said, due to Johnson's augmentations from the Orion Project (aka Spartan I project) it makes him harder for the Flood to infect him. ONI then made up the "Boren Syndrome" thing to avoid having to explain/expose the Orion/Spartan I project to people, but that really has nothing to do with what we're talking about here (which is the Orion Project and why it either makes him immune, or very hard to infect, from the Flood.)
We all know Henry's badass, but 2 marines fighting their way out of a tight corridor filled with combat forms with hand-to-hand distance in 10 mintues? That's BADASS
@@bossshun9 Almost. There was one marine, on Installation 04, that was "recruited" by Guilty Spark to retrieve the index, prior to chief, and he went through plenty of the Library on his own with not much. I don't know about you, but that's more badass.
No doubt Henry won the fight but in order for Henry to survive he would have to eject in time, be clear of the blast, get picked up by a nearby Covenant ship, and they don't find out he's a human sympathizer. If he survived all that, maybe he joined the Arbiter's forces later on.
Larry Garoth odds are both died. The is no record of either being picked up by the Red Horse on it's way out, plus with the threat of the slipspace drive and potential nuke means even if Henry one shot her hopped in the pod and went off. He probably didn't make it out of the blast radius.
Not only is this terrifying, but it also gives a look into what the flood could be in 343 wants to make a flood-focused game. So many different forms, terrifying environments and creepy ambience, man, they could turn this into a fantastic horror game.
Honestly, a pretty similar game already exists, it’s Dead Space. Heck even the ships look the same. Not that I would mind such a Flood oriented game, but I had Dead Space vibes all the way through this movie 😜
51:58 This scene, right here, has to be the most horrifying part. Not in the sense of pure gore horrifying, but the thought of being forcibly dragged and absorbed into an unknown alien being while conscious is terrifying to me. Has to be more horrifying than being outright infected
Right? Then 117 having to rip open that Flood pile of nazty, find the remains of his melon, sans brains, and poke around to find his neural lace for the codes to detonate the PoA. Hazard pay anyone? 😂
@@unknownunknown-zx9st the primordial stated that it was the last of its kind. But it just happen to to be a grave mind that (presumably) took the form of a precursor. But it is not really confirmed. Hope they make new books and hope halo 6 can give us a little more explanation.
The parts where we saw the pilot scream "dont let them take me!!" Was scary, and the fact she was thrown into a proto gravemind, makes a lot of sense, as she has the knowledge to fly ships, possibly the mona lisa?
I don't know why the flood doesn't know how to pilot the Mona lisa yet. Or maybe they didn't reach proto mind level when they breached the section where pilots were and just made them into combat forms instead of getting their knowledge on how to control the ship. The pelican pilot is indeed invaluable, but id like to see the flood find a pelican. 😂
@@deoxi3207 Maybe the Oni operatives shot the ship's pilots in the head before they could be taken. Someone had the foresight to wreck the nav system in the bridge before the flood could get it.
This is the gas station for nightmares. The flood are freakin terrifying monsters. This deserves a game of it's own. Hell it deserves a live action movie.
60 rounds in an AR is bs most be a combat evolved AR those ARs sucked they should have been armed with magnums and shotguns the magnum had op damage and the shotgun was like a freaking one shot sniper rifle
Henry is so fucking rad, I love him. Headcanon is that he beat Lopez nearly to death, hucked her into the pod, hopped in after her, escaped the blast, and they both crashed on a tropical planet where they resided until they were rescued after the war ended. Let me have this dream. Also, Burgundy pleading with Cranker and screaming not to be taken was really chilling.
@@kingdanglez4907When henry was about to go down on Lopez, he saw a dick and realised lopez was a male trans to women but still with a dick bigger than henry 😂😂😂😂
One way is they merely having him have the cricket bat handle on his side belt like it was broken to pieces during his fight with the Sgt and all that remains was the handle, not really able to be noticed but it could be like a cool Easter egg we see next to a Elite relaxing on the side of a mission or cut scene.
My hope is that one day , we'll get a halo game that's focused on the horror aspect of the flood. We could be a marine trapped in some kind of ship or forerunner facility and we would be vulnerable to infection.
+mousecyr01 what if they made a mini games that we all play as marines or odst and we do flood missions with one life and there's a objective too, get out and run
This gave me Dead Space vibes, which is a good thing. The flood are horrifying, especially when against normal people, not a super soldier. A game survival horror based game around the flood would be awesome
I think they could go for something open-ended like Prey (2017) where there are multiple ways to finish the game. E.g. escape the ship/station, destroy the ship with survivors on board, cleanse it somehow... Could include rescuing marines, civilians and of course Henrys and have them fight with you
Harry Wells I wanted Henry to live too he actually deserved it ! but sadly I’m pretty sure both Henry & Lopez died it was only 10 seconds until the explosion and even tho Henry could’ve defeated Lopez easily I doubt he would’ve escaped the blast radius 😔
weed Henry went out of his way to save/protect Benti, and Rinmer multiple times even though he didn’t have to. Dude was honorable and chill as fuck. If anyone deserves to live, he does.
Rtas Vadum (The Shipmaster) was the only survivor of a flood infection onboard a covenant supply ship. Single handedly fought his way out of the ship against an army of flood armed with just an Energy Sword.
We all know for sure that the sergeant does not stand a chance at all, shes going to completely get her ass handed to her, but the elite is waaaay to damn big to fit in the pod, even if it was designed for spartans, elites are simply to big. no one survived 😢.
Henry is a legend, saved the marines from the get go despite them wanting to end him, all without pants. This is an amazing story and love the animated comic book style taken That end was fucked, henry had proven himself to be a great ally. He still held the Sangheilli honour and saved their arses best he could with some damn wood
This is a brilliant story. Scary and Interesting. Also gave me even more unending nightmares of the Flood. Jesus Christ They made a scarier infection than anything.
@Ricardo Smarts I mean that Necromorphs can literally never leave the site of the outbreak. If Isaac had never come along or died the Necromorphs outbreak would've ended when ishimura crashes into Aegis 7 or when her gravity tethers completely destabilise and turn into mini black holes talking out it and half the star system in the process. If the flood had been in the Necromorphs place they would've turned aegis 7 into a flood hive and then taken over the ishimura. As a matter of fact had it been the flood they would've either taken the ishimura and left the system to spread or fired off a signal to lure more prey in. It would've been game over for the entire dead space universe
@Ricardo Smarts the Necromorphs also have a crippling weakness against energy weapons and disintegrators. The flood has it as well but they supplement it by using their foods technology against them. Also the Necromorphs will get fucked up if they have to deal with heavy caliber ballistics or explosives. Autocannons and minds would their worst nightmare. Dead space is another case where the military is intentionally made stupid as possible or crippled somehow to hype up the horror effect. In halo tho the more competent you are the higher the chances are the flood is going to fuck you over royally
Fun Fact: The elite infection form showed at 49:25-49:33 is actually the Juggernaut form, a tendril wielding hulking Goliath who spears its victims. It was originally supposed to be in the Halo series, but was removed due to issues with the creature's ai. Also, no, it is not the same as the pure forms we see in Halo 3 that mutate into the hulker, needler, or crawler.
Fun fact it is a pure form. Composed of biomass, was supposed to be a pseudo-mini gravemind of sorts. it´s heir exists in halo wars 2, there´s some text descrition that describes some giant flood thing as an advanged Juggernaut. Also the Juggernaut in Halo 2 was finished but never used cause bungie thought he would destroy any balance (if you modded him in, you fucking know he does)
+Hidden Desire Yep and now it's canon. It's in the shitty Halo CE retcon game which was released last year. I don't remember the name of it. I want to forget it exists.
@B.O.S Ranger Hawke Weight class is everything. Henry is a species that can lift a 1000 pound Spartan with one hand (evidenced by Emile's death). Elites have also gone hand to hand with Spartans and survived large caliber bullets. This is a toddler fighting a body builder. Plot armor is one thing but neither of them have it in this scenario. Lopez has such a low chance realistically that it's not even worth considering.
@B.O.S Ranger Hawke Sorry but no. There is a reason that weight classes exist in all fighting sports, as well as gender segregation. Size and strength trumps in the end. Henry weighs at bare minimum twice as much as Lopez. Henry is powerful enough to kill a Spartan in power armor in hand to hand combat. Henry belongs to a species that can lift half a ton with one arm. One good hit from Henry and the already wounded Lopez is dead, if she hits him he will barely feel it. Look up what happens when a chimpanzee attacks a human....long story short you are screwed. This is even worse, this is basically a human in hand to hand combat with a gorilla. This would not be a dramatic fight scene with scripting to benefit Lopez. Ford killed the arbiter because the arbiter monologued for plot reasons. This won't happen here. Henry is in fact faster and more agile, especially because Lopez is wounded. Unless some BS comic comes out and saves Lopez Ex Machina style this is how it goes: Henry hits her once and she's done, she is not fast enough to hit him and if she does he doesn't feel it. Realistically they both die. Henry wins and either can't fit in the pod or doesn't know how it works. If he does escape he's either executed by the UNSC for being Covenant, or executed by the Covenant for being a heretic. There is no happy end here.
@ODST 4 Life Absolutely true, especially in this case. I repeat, there is a reason that weight classes exist in fighting sports: with similar skill sets size offers a massive advantage. This isn't a street fight, this is a human versus something monumentally stronger and also faster. Look up what happens when a person is attacked by a chimpanzee, now escalate it even further. Henry is an alien that can lift a half ton Spartan with one hand (as evidenced when Emile is killed in Halo: Reach), can flip large vehicles by hand, hold his own in hand to hand combat with power armored super soldiers, jump higher than the average person stands, and run faster than the average person. If plot armor or Ex Maxina type moments are thrown aside there is almost a 100% chance that Henry wins this fight. He is so physically superior in every way that it is down right laughable. This is comparable to a human fighting a gorilla in hand to hand combat.
Lopez: This is Macraw, as you can see he's new. *Immediately proceeds to gloss over the rest in rapid fire form* Me: Welp, they're all gonna fuckin die.
Henry was my favorite lmao and surprisingly the prison guy even had my remorse, actually I thought each character was well written for their part of the story
The writing was pretty bad actually, but it was an interesting story and helps flesh out the flood as a real threat for people who don’t know the lore as well.
Well UNSC are quite creative in what their Al would look like. They come up with different appearances for the AI like taking any appearance from a person from 4th century until 26th century. For example, the Roland AI is a ww2 British pilot
the Spartan ll Program was directly inspired by the Roman spartans, as halsey even wrote in her journal. Seeing as the most advanced military soldier is an homage to the fierce spartans of old, its only fitting an AI match the theme.
As an emetophobe, the foley artist that did the throwing-up-blood sound effect deserves a raise. 10/10, actually gave me an anxiety attack by 3 minutes in 😂 well played, sir or ma'am 😂.
Man I wish they made this into a horror game, limited ammo, multiple perspectives, dark maze like ship to navigate through, mysteries to solve sounds like the perfect recipe
There’s a mod you can get where you play the level 343 Guilty Spark as a marine. Sub to that, and play with the skulls there you can’t pick up alien weapons and your motion tracker is disabled. Gameplay is pretty fresh
This is halo horror done right this is how horrifying the flood would be Also how thing were the flood on the Mona Lisa because they made a damn proto-gravemind
Plus, Proto-Gravemind building also includes taking people that know certain parts of a ship or how they work. So, if you are an engineer, fighter pilot, or ship captain, prepare for a long death
I'm sad that "ice cream" was changed to "shore leave". In times of strain, something as small as ice cream can be a major morale boost...not as good as shore leave, but the Sarge couldn't promise the latter, but could swing the former...plus served as better "comedy relief" in the tenseness of the storyline.
That was very entertaining despite the low budget animation. Microsoft has the ability to write a good script, and they have top end CGI technology at their disposal, they should just put 2 and 2 together and make a full length CGI feature film set in Halo universe.
The Mona Lisa looks a lot like the Ishimura from Dead Space. And now that I think about it, the stories are pretty similar too. A ship undertaking a clandestine operation mysteriously goes dark. A small team is dispatched to investigate the blackout, and are methodically separated and killed off. The survivors are lost in the deteriorating ship, trying to complete their objective and escape. The cause is revealed to be the former inhabitants of the ship, who have been transformed into zombie-like creatures (Seriously, the Flood and Necromorphs are very similar. Both are comprised of host bodies that have been infected and turned into horrifying, disfigured monsters whose only goal is to kill and create more of them, and can only be killed by completely destroying its body). A 'doctor' onboard the ship is revealed to be at least partially responsible for the outbreak and turns against the rescuers. They complete their objective, and the "hive mind" of the infestation is destroyed. But one of the members of the team is revealed to be a government operative, kills one of the survivors, betrays the protagonist, and is killed. Out of the entire group, only one member escaped.
Aaron Jerrell I'm not talking about Halo as a whole, I'm talking about this specific part of Halo. And yes, I'm fairly certain the necromorphs were inspired by the Flood in some sense.
Why can't 343 just make a sequel to ODST and have a team of ODST trapped and have a first encounter with the flood and have it very scary and gory like this? Like seriously it can't be so hard
IMO it's the other way around, at least the flood is more killable; Gravemind vs. Multiple moon sized zombie gods capable of using radiation instead of direct contact to not only convert its victims but can also drive them completely insane to the point of seeing the people they care about as enemies to kill or to create a cult completely revolving around these gods and must i even mention the Ubermorph.
jazz3911 Yes, but the necromorphs understand what they are doing. The flood gravemind thinks he is fulfilling the mantle by infecting everybody, and thus genuinely fails to understand why people resist. Also the whole revenge against the forerunners thing.
I love the acting and lines in this “you’re getting spittle on my projector” great humor in a otherwise tense scene and this was a legit scary film. We need a Halo tv show
In the original story it’s even more chilling. It goes along some like this “She kept on screaming for someone to help as the infected Cranker threw her onto one of the bulbous sacks, then she started screaming *from pain*”
To be honest I'd rather die than be thrown into one of those. Those screaming faces were people being assimilated into some gene soup for the flood to absorb 0.o
The way the Flood's depicted here almost resembles the Necromorphs from the Dead Space games. I wonder if we'll get a survival-horror Halo game set on an infested ship in the future. It might not be the most original idea, but it'll be fun nonetheless. Maybe it'll share some traits from the Aliens franchise too! Halo 3's "Cortana" mission anyone?
One consumed BOTH of the most technologically advanced races to ever exist while the other gets its ass kicked by a crazy dude with the force throwing chairs at their legs. Sorry but necromorphs (although awesome in their own right) have nothing on the flood
Benti: Henry can have my shore leave Henry: No my love! Lopez: It’s nothing personal, Henry, but I got dibs Henry: I’ve been tortured, fought the flood with a bat, was given trust by my Covenant’s sworn enemy- a human- trust I was going to repay with my life; only to have that trust out into a death wish so I may live, and you want to trample on that and my honor?! *thuds bat* I’ve fought fellow elites, fought demons, and something more terrible than death- you think you will be much of a challenge? *Proceeds to wacko-mole Lopez to a pulp until her skull pops out*
Wow, this is honestly one of the best 343 video productions I have ever seen. Just wow, the flood is terrifying(as any halo fan, including myself would know)
Don't underestimate a human. Its not the first time a lone human killed an elite on one-on-one combat. Remember John Forge? Just a normal human who killed an Arbiter.
but forge had a knife, and then used Ripa's sword against him, so he had advantage, however in hand to hand combat without any kind of sharp or firing gun, an elite is much more stronger than a human, just compare the strenght of a human hitting with a gun with an elite hitting with a cricket bat, but anyway I'd prefered that Henry won, I just hate ONI.
RazgrizOne yeah, but at the end she prefered to support ONI, anyway if an elite helped me to survive, I don't see why not sharing the last pod, the pods aren't that small though, or use the pelican where the marines came, but she just wanted to have every survivor dead so they don't expose or get in trouble ONI, so... it's almost the same thing.
I liked the lone prisoner at the end, he befriended an elite, managed to hide from the flood, and survived all the way to the pods. It's a shame he was shot at the end. Miller was my favourite character.
I also like that he clearly likes Henry since he's always trying to make sure they don't kill him. He begs them not to shoot Henry first before adding not to kill him either.
The pacing took a deep dive in the end. Nevertheless. The rest of the motion comic, was pretty rad. I felt very immersed. As if I had been there with them. 8.5/10
@@synx5196 Mostly the suspenseful moments not taking enough time, to set the appropriate atmosphere. Despite dramatic pauses being a bit over done, I think the last confrontation would have benefited from having a few.
I really like how this shows the horror of the flood, and shows the horror of ONI; it’s nice to see that even the covenant know the flood is the true enemy and Henry was willing to aid the humans in their common enemy
Right? doesn't make sense. that goes against the fact that the floods goal is to infect everything, and the flood use the host knowledge. so itd be completely capable of infecting the redhorse, and i think the covenant ship they're picking up is ascendant justice a flagship that had a majority of its crew made up of engineers and a less then 100 elites from the book halo first strike that master chief and a few marines captured. so im sure the drop pod, and both ships would've been fine.
The Flood doesn't entirely work like that. Sure, the Flood form that the pilot would turn into after infection would retain knowledge of how to fly the Pelican, but that knowledge wouldn't be shared with the other individual forms unless they're unified under a Gravemind. In addition, even if she used that knowledge, there wouldn't be any coordination in getting other forms to board the Pelican so that she could take them anywhere. So instead of infecting her, they brought her to the Proto-Gravemind that they were building in the engine room to add her knowledge to it, so that they could all use it once it was finished.
In the book it is explained that all pilots found in the ship were shoved into the mass on the slip-space drive. So instead of a pelican, they were going for a much larger ship that could travel further.
At that staged, this was just a *PROTO-Gravemind* But hey! close enought and yes it would had done the job. A *Gravemind* is the size of a City in it's fullest, this is why actualy, *Gravemind* dies by being "overbloated" with intel' [ Yes intel'---But the GPU are thousand upon thousands of corpses.] When this occured, the *Gravemind* released very specifics spore each a fraction of that *Gravemind* to find a [Literaly.] "bigger" place from where to sprout and began a new life spawn, growing even bigger, more intelligent... Deadly. That's the basics.
If John ever discovers that ONI experimented with the Flood on humans, holy fuck bruh.. On another point, Flood needs to make a come back in a Halo game, they're the reason why the Halos were ever built in the first place. Like if you want to see Master Chief vs the Flood again, and also seeing Prometheans vs Flood would be pretty epic too
It would be pretty canon since the prometheans were originally created to fight off the flood that's why most of their weapons disintegrate organic material so it stops the flood from gaining biomass
This story from the book halo evolutions is probably one of my favorite short stories of all time. So well written, it definitely stood out from all of the other stories I've read in the halo universe.
i thinked the same. Both are prisoner ships, are zombies or flood everyhere. Men both stories are good. But the only difference is that in this nobody escaped.
Man Henry was the best, couldn't speak english, tried protecting his human friends. Hell he didn't even initiate the hostility, Lopez did. Henry is a champ
Obama thanks Obama
Also Henry would win. Elites are born With spartan strength and Lopez is just a marine. Marines die easily to elites.
@David Strickland that Arbiter was Arrogant though he could have finish sgt. Forge easily, but play with him because he felt Dominance.
@David Strickland I agree but not every elite would be as arrogant as the Arbiter, Henry would have easily won. But I am not sure if he would fit in that escape pod or not.
@David Strickland Henry is an Elite. Lopez is just a human. That pretty much says a lot. No way some marine would just handle an Elite, especially without a loaded weapon. Elites are trained from the get-go, it's part of their culture. Don't be delusional.
For those who don’t know much about the flood, the reason why burgundy wasn’t killed immediately by cranker was because she had extensive knowledge of how to pilot space craft. Instead of her being turned into a combat form, they did what happened to captain Keyes in halo CE, used her for knowledge.
It is directly mentioned in the original short story, I guess they couldn’t find a way to implement it in this.

Benti was literally the best character in the entire story. Medic, deputy team leader, destroyed a proto-Hivemind trying to hotwire a slip space drive, trusted Henry and recognised that he was better with a gun than a bat and finally took down the traitorous Clarence while sacrificing herself.
Everyone else was flawed in a way and most of them died. The coward and the mad scientist are the only 2 confirmed survivors.
Avalanche nah Henry and his elites were the best. They could have straight up prevented all of the deaths and infections if the idiots hadn't gunned them down. An elite was literally stomping one of the infected marines from Lopez' squad, with no weapon in sight, meaning he crushed that motherfucker in hand to hand combat.

I fully support this idea
“There is no cure”
Sgt.mjr. Johnson: *laughs in Orion project immunity”
But if all of them had orion then, the flood would target them, the orion isn't a cure, it just makes it harder to infect, the infection forms won't go after the people with orion, but if everyone had it, they would go after them, because it's the only thing they can infect.
Johnson was not immune. Boren syndrome, the illness speculated to be the cause of his immunity, was made up by ONI to cover up illnesses caused by the Orion project.
@The Rational Rifleman Due to Johnson's augmentations, the Flood had a slightly harder time taking over his nervous system, which gave him enough time to push off the infection form and kill it, then proceeding to evade the Flood until MC arrived.
@@punctuationman334 No one mentioned "Boren syndrome" or how it was a cover-up until your comment. The original comment plainly says they already know and are talking about the Orion project itself. No one here is being fooled by the "Boren syndrome" crap that ONI made up, so I don't know why you left that comment, lol. Like other comments have said, due to Johnson's augmentations from the Orion Project (aka Spartan I project) it makes him harder for the Flood to infect him. ONI then made up the "Boren Syndrome" thing to avoid having to explain/expose the Orion/Spartan I project to people, but that really has nothing to do with what we're talking about here (which is the Orion Project and why it either makes him immune, or very hard to infect, from the Flood.)
It’s been stated it’s not a cure it just make him less appetizing to the flood, it doesn’t mean they can’t/ won’t infect him.
We all know Henry's badass,
but 2 marines fighting their way out of a tight corridor filled with combat forms with hand-to-hand distance in 10 mintues? That's BADASS
RaPtorteAm but Henry has the almighty paddle.

@@bossshun9 Almost. There was one marine, on Installation 04, that was "recruited" by Guilty Spark to retrieve the index, prior to chief, and he went through plenty of the Library on his own with not much. I don't know about you, but that's more badass.
No doubt Henry won the fight but in order for Henry to survive he would have to eject in time, be clear of the blast, get picked up by a nearby Covenant ship, and they don't find out he's a human sympathizer. If he survived all that, maybe he joined the Arbiter's forces later on.
A Thought Crime Knowing the fact there was a covenant ship in the area, Henry probably made it out alright
Larry Garoth odds are both died.
The is no record of either being picked up by the Red Horse on it's way out, plus with the threat of the slipspace drive and potential nuke means even if Henry one shot her hopped in the pod and went off. He probably didn't make it out of the blast radius.

@@unknownunknown-zx9st the primordial stated that it was the last of its kind. But it just happen to to be a grave mind that (presumably) took the form of a precursor. But it is not really confirmed. Hope they make new books and hope halo 6 can give us a little more explanation.

Lol I was thinking the prisoner looked like shaggy too
Lol, damnit, now that's all I can think of!
The parts where we saw the pilot scream "dont let them take me!!" Was scary, and the fact she was thrown into a proto gravemind, makes a lot of sense, as she has the knowledge to fly ships, possibly the mona lisa?
Of course, she had more knowledge of how to operate a ship.
I don't know why the flood doesn't know how to pilot the Mona lisa yet. Or maybe they didn't reach proto mind level when they breached the section where pilots were and just made them into combat forms instead of getting their knowledge on how to control the ship. The pelican pilot is indeed invaluable, but id like to see the flood find a pelican. 😂
@@deoxi3207 Maybe the Oni operatives shot the ship's pilots in the head before they could be taken. Someone had the foresight to wreck the nav system in the bridge before the flood could get it.

One way is they merely having him have the cricket bat handle on his side belt like it was broken to pieces during his fight with the Sgt and all that remains was the handle, not really able to be noticed but it could be like a cool Easter egg we see next to a Elite relaxing on the side of a mission or cut scene.

@@mrblexit7152 Necromorphs are confined to whatever place they break out at. The flood tho will infect and hjack the nearest ship to spread further
@Ricardo Smarts I mean that Necromorphs can literally never leave the site of the outbreak. If Isaac had never come along or died the Necromorphs outbreak would've ended when ishimura crashes into Aegis 7 or when her gravity tethers completely destabilise and turn into mini black holes talking out it and half the star system in the process.
If the flood had been in the Necromorphs place they would've turned aegis 7 into a flood hive and then taken over the ishimura. As a matter of fact had it been the flood they would've either taken the ishimura and left the system to spread or fired off a signal to lure more prey in. It would've been game over for the entire dead space universe
@Ricardo Smarts the Necromorphs also have a crippling weakness against energy weapons and disintegrators. The flood has it as well but they supplement it by using their foods technology against them.
Also the Necromorphs will get fucked up if they have to deal with heavy caliber ballistics or explosives. Autocannons and minds would their worst nightmare.
Dead space is another case where the military is intentionally made stupid as possible or crippled somehow to hype up the horror effect. In halo tho the more competent you are the higher the chances are the flood is going to fuck you over royally
Fun Fact: The elite infection form showed at 49:25-49:33 is actually the Juggernaut form, a tendril wielding hulking Goliath who spears its victims. It was originally supposed to be in the Halo series, but was removed due to issues with the creature's ai. Also, no, it is not the same as the pure forms we see in Halo 3 that mutate into the hulker, needler, or crawler.
Yeah and it was supposed to be in Halo 2 but Bungie couldn't put it in the game in time but you can mod the game to have it
Fun fact it is a pure form. Composed of biomass, was supposed to be a pseudo-mini gravemind of sorts. it´s heir exists in halo wars 2, there´s some text descrition that describes some giant flood thing as an advanged Juggernaut.

People forget she was also wounded.
@B.O.S Ranger Hawke
Weight class is everything. Henry is a species that can lift a 1000 pound Spartan with one hand (evidenced by Emile's death). Elites have also gone hand to hand with Spartans and survived large caliber bullets. This is a toddler fighting a body builder.
Plot armor is one thing but neither of them have it in this scenario. Lopez has such a low chance realistically that it's not even worth considering.
@B.O.S Ranger Hawke
Sorry but no. There is a reason that weight classes exist in all fighting sports, as well as gender segregation. Size and strength trumps in the end.
Henry weighs at bare minimum twice as much as Lopez. Henry is powerful enough to kill a Spartan in power armor in hand to hand combat. Henry belongs to a species that can lift half a ton with one arm. One good hit from Henry and the already wounded Lopez is dead, if she hits him he will barely feel it.
Look up what happens when a chimpanzee attacks a human....long story short you are screwed. This is even worse, this is basically a human in hand to hand combat with a gorilla.
This would not be a dramatic fight scene with scripting to benefit Lopez. Ford killed the arbiter because the arbiter monologued for plot reasons. This won't happen here. Henry is in fact faster and more agile, especially because Lopez is wounded.
Unless some BS comic comes out and saves Lopez Ex Machina style this is how it goes: Henry hits her once and she's done, she is not fast enough to hit him and if she does he doesn't feel it.
Realistically they both die. Henry wins and either can't fit in the pod or doesn't know how it works. If he does escape he's either executed by the UNSC for being Covenant, or executed by the Covenant for being a heretic. There is no happy end here.
@ODST 4 Life
Absolutely true, especially in this case. I repeat, there is a reason that weight classes exist in fighting sports: with similar skill sets size offers a massive advantage.
This isn't a street fight, this is a human versus something monumentally stronger and also faster. Look up what happens when a person is attacked by a chimpanzee, now escalate it even further.
Henry is an alien that can lift a half ton Spartan with one hand (as evidenced when Emile is killed in Halo: Reach), can flip large vehicles by hand, hold his own in hand to hand combat with power armored super soldiers, jump higher than the average person stands, and run faster than the average person.
If plot armor or Ex Maxina type moments are thrown aside there is almost a 100% chance that Henry wins this fight. He is so physically superior in every way that it is down right laughable. This is comparable to a human fighting a gorilla in hand to hand combat.
Lopez: This is Macraw, as you can see he's new.
*Immediately proceeds to gloss over the rest in rapid fire form*

The Mona Lisa looks a lot like the Ishimura from Dead Space. And now that I think about it, the stories are pretty similar too. A ship undertaking a clandestine operation mysteriously goes dark. A small team is dispatched to investigate the blackout, and are methodically separated and killed off. The survivors are lost in the deteriorating ship, trying to complete their objective and escape. The cause is revealed to be the former inhabitants of the ship, who have been transformed into zombie-like creatures (Seriously, the Flood and Necromorphs are very similar. Both are comprised of host bodies that have been infected and turned into horrifying, disfigured monsters whose only goal is to kill and create more of them, and can only be killed by completely destroying its body). A 'doctor' onboard the ship is revealed to be at least partially responsible for the outbreak and turns against the rescuers. They complete their objective, and the "hive mind" of the infestation is destroyed. But one of the members of the team is revealed to be a government operative, kills one of the survivors, betrays the protagonist, and is killed. Out of the entire group, only one member escaped.
And the copying comes full circle.
It was heavily inspired by Dead Space: Downfall, I believe that one of the story writers and artists worked on this as well.
But Halo came out first
Aaron Jerrell I'm not talking about Halo as a whole, I'm talking about this specific part of Halo. And yes, I'm fairly certain the necromorphs were inspired by the Flood in some sense.
Ryan Sorge Oh of course the necromorphs have been stated as being inspired by early interpretations of demons as well
Why can't 343 just make a sequel to ODST and have a team of ODST trapped and have a first encounter with the flood and have it very scary and gory like this? Like seriously it can't be so hard
sadly in the halo universe the rookie was killed so I don't think they will make another but that would be awsome
Wait, the Rookie died? Whaaat
Ya in one of the graphic novals
lol, if he lived and became a spartan....
Timothy Soetarto He'd have his own game if he did :o
Major Dead Space vibes ten minutes in. Hell, even Mona Lisa looks like the Ishimura.
IKR. I got the same vibe.
Well, Necromorphs are just a less creepy version of the flood in a horror game version of halo.
YES!!! I also reminds me of that animated movie they did. Dead Space: Downfall
IMO it's the other way around, at least the flood is more killable; Gravemind vs. Multiple moon sized zombie gods capable of using radiation instead of direct contact to not only convert its victims but can also drive them completely insane to the point of seeing the people they care about as enemies to kill or to create a cult completely revolving around these gods and must i even mention the Ubermorph.
jazz3911 Yes, but the necromorphs understand what they are doing.
The flood gravemind thinks he is fulfilling the mantle by infecting everybody, and thus genuinely fails to understand why people resist.
Also the whole revenge against the forerunners thing.
I love the acting and lines in this “you’re getting spittle on my projector” great humor in a otherwise tense scene and this was a legit scary film. We need a Halo tv show
This... didn't age well...☹️
Well… about that
You should’ve asked for a good Halo Tv show
@@ivnislykun Aged like milk
Be careful what you wish for
hearing that screaming... DONT LET THEM TAKE ME! DONT LET THEM TAKE ME!
just chilling
In the original story it’s even more chilling. It goes along some like this “She kept on screaming for someone to help as the infected Cranker threw her onto one of the bulbous sacks, then she started screaming *from pain*”
Silenced Games Dear god....
@@Nephalem2002 there is no god in the Halo universe. The closest ones are the Precursers, who eventually mutated into the Flood.
@@arikutin1032 *well isn't that fucking ironic*
To be honest I'd rather die than be thrown into one of those. Those screaming faces were people being assimilated into some gene soup for the flood to absorb 0.o
Henry uses Cricket bat. It's very effective!
Hi
Henry Badger lol i found you here also. XD
Ha! Ha! Pokemon reference
And that how we were eradicated on halo 3 kids. Don't mess the elite with the cricket bat.
It's a super effective
Henry won we all know it
Their fight? Probably. Escaping the ship? Nope. Nobody survived
Marco Boscarol I didn't read the book but is it confirmed that there were no survivors?
+lilbrother21 the nuke would have destroyed the ship and the escape pod, regardless of who won
lilbrother21 only Maccraw and Smith
lilbrother21 There where 2 escape pods but nobody knows who survived my guess is Henry
1:01:40
Henry's like
"Aw hell naw!"
Love how Macraw just booked it when Clarence domed the prisoner.
"NOPE!"
no time wasted lol
Macraw: Fuck this, I've been through enough shit already
The way the Flood's depicted here almost resembles the Necromorphs from the Dead Space games. I wonder if we'll get a survival-horror Halo game set on an infested ship in the future. It might not be the most original idea, but it'll be fun nonetheless. Maybe it'll share some traits from the Aliens franchise too!
Halo 3's "Cortana" mission anyone?
Interesting idea.
A halo game like Alien:isolation? that would be fucking amazing
tyler johnson Only this time, you play as a Grunt hiding from a Flood infestation, or possibly Marines.
Stryker Nocte Sounds better than call of halo 5
Che Guevara Because there's no such thing as Call of Halo 5.
This really helps you realize how terrifying the flood really is.
Nercomorphs are worse. Despite being dumber until, they become a moon.
Adam naaa the flood are worse
i get tired of the "i know you're in there" routine. put a fucking cap in them or leave them to turn (the latter of which only a scumbag would do)
Of course th necromorphs are worst , they were made for a survival horror game.
One consumed BOTH of the most technologically advanced races to ever exist while the other gets its ass kicked by a crazy dude with the force throwing chairs at their legs. Sorry but necromorphs (although awesome in their own right) have nothing on the flood
Benti: Henry can have my shore leave
Henry: No my love!
Lopez: It’s nothing personal, Henry, but I got dibs
Henry: I’ve been tortured, fought the flood with a bat, was given trust by my Covenant’s sworn enemy- a human- trust I was going to repay with my life; only to have that trust out into a death wish so I may live, and you want to trample on that and my honor?! *thuds bat* I’ve fought fellow elites, fought demons, and something more terrible than death- you think you will be much of a challenge?
*Proceeds to wacko-mole Lopez to a pulp until her skull pops out*
This is hilarious 1:01:53

@@HaloCEJohnnoscope I laughed to he just wacks the infection form in the face
Wow, this is honestly one of the best 343 video productions I have ever seen. Just wow, the flood is terrifying(as any halo fan, including myself would know)
Well don't give them full credit they did not really make the comic version all they did was animate some of it and add voices
I bet that Henry won since an elite with a cricket bat is much,much stronger than a human with an empty assault rifle
Don't underestimate a human. Its not the first time a lone human killed an elite on one-on-one combat. Remember John Forge? Just a normal human who killed an Arbiter.
but forge had a knife, and then used Ripa's sword against him, so he had advantage, however in hand to hand combat without any kind of sharp or firing gun, an elite is much more stronger than a human, just compare the strenght of a human hitting with a gun with an elite hitting with a cricket bat, but anyway I'd prefered that Henry won, I just hate ONI.
Osvaldo Damian
Except Mama Lopez isn't ONI.
RazgrizOne yeah, but at the end she prefered to support ONI, anyway if an elite helped me to survive, I don't see why not sharing the last pod, the pods aren't that small though, or use the pelican where the marines came, but she just wanted to have every survivor dead so they don't expose or get in trouble ONI, so... it's almost the same thing.
Osvaldo Damian
"Preferred ONI"
no she didn't. Actually, both of them died in the end, its a moot point.
This is how the flood should be portrayed
I liked the lone prisoner at the end, he befriended an elite, managed to hide from the flood, and survived all the way to the pods. It's a shame he was shot at the end. Miller was my favourite character.
He reminded me of Ratman from Portal.
I also like that he clearly likes Henry since he's always trying to make sure they don't kill him. He begs them not to shoot Henry first before adding not to kill him either.
The pacing took a deep dive in the end.
Nevertheless. The rest of the motion comic, was pretty rad.
I felt very immersed. As if I had been there with them. 8.5/10
what was wrong with the pacing?
@@synx5196 Mostly the suspenseful moments not taking enough time, to set the appropriate atmosphere. Despite dramatic pauses being a bit over done, I think the last confrontation would have benefited from having a few.
cricket bat>energy sword

@@facelesswonder6511 no
@@facelesswonder6511 Fuck Lopez
Henry is the real MVP, doesn’t say a word and is one of the most entertaining.
Cross your fingers that Henry will win
There's still an escape pod -_-
Why do I see you everywhere?
Lardass actually Mac took that one
Zouheir Hassoune I'm talking about the one they are fighting over, I was replying to Fred Torney.
Clorox Bleach why the fuck do I keep finding you
I figured Henry killed Lopez easily, just to realize he can not fit into the escape pod.
Cricket paddle will live. Henry and Lopez have died.
I really like how this shows the horror of the flood, and shows the horror of ONI; it’s nice to see that even the covenant know the flood is the true enemy and Henry was willing to aid the humans in their common enemy
Henry knows the prisoners are victims has much has he is, ONI didn't care what you are, a lab rat is a lab rat.
This is the human version of that one comic where Rtas Vadum lost his jaw.
Your not wrong
Unless you are playing as an unstoppable badass like Chief or Arbiter, every story involving the flood is a horror story.
The last flight of the infinite succor?
Im surprised the flood didn't just infect the pilot, then use the pelican to fly to the mona lisa.
Right? doesn't make sense. that goes against the fact that the floods goal is to infect everything, and the flood use the host knowledge. so itd be completely capable of infecting the redhorse, and i think the covenant ship they're picking up is ascendant justice a flagship that had a majority of its crew made up of engineers and a less then 100 elites from the book halo first strike that master chief and a few marines captured. so im sure the drop pod, and both ships would've been fine.
Keep in mind that the infection only reached the proto-gravemind stage. So they still didn't really have any cognitive, centralized thought.
The Flood doesn't entirely work like that. Sure, the Flood form that the pilot would turn into after infection would retain knowledge of how to fly the Pelican, but that knowledge wouldn't be shared with the other individual forms unless they're unified under a Gravemind. In addition, even if she used that knowledge, there wouldn't be any coordination in getting other forms to board the Pelican so that she could take them anywhere.
So instead of infecting her, they brought her to the Proto-Gravemind that they were building in the engine room to add her knowledge to it, so that they could all use it once it was finished.
In the book it is explained that all pilots found in the ship were shoved into the mass on the slip-space drive. So instead of a pelican, they were going for a much larger ship that could travel further.
At that staged, this was just a *PROTO-Gravemind* But hey! close enought and yes it would had done the job. A *Gravemind* is the size of a City in it's fullest, this is why actualy, *Gravemind* dies by being "overbloated" with intel' [ Yes intel'---But the GPU are thousand upon thousands of corpses.]
When this occured, the *Gravemind* released very specifics spore each a fraction of that *Gravemind* to find a [Literaly.] "bigger" place from where to sprout and began a new life spawn, growing even bigger, more intelligent... Deadly.
That's the basics.
You should make part 2, Henry's day out with the UNSC
This is not the people who made it
Do you like my new coat?
-wears that marine's skin-
part 2 should be like "Henry join UNSC"
Henry and the Henderson's
Come on people start writing the fanfiction of a part 2. We can make this great.
This is probably the most gruesome/gory halo movie I've ever seen...ITS FUCKING AWESOME!!!
Even 10 years later, I keep coming back to this. I absolutely love it
Obviously, Henry would have beat Lopez so bad that you couldn't even recognize her
1:01:50 this is comedy gold
BAMP
Lmao
Bonk
Wort wort wort
If John ever discovers that ONI experimented with the Flood on humans, holy fuck bruh.. On another point, Flood needs to make a come back in a Halo game, they're the reason why the Halos were ever built in the first place.
Like if you want to see Master Chief vs the Flood again, and also seeing Prometheans vs Flood would be pretty epic too
It would be pretty canon since the prometheans were originally created to fight off the flood that's why most of their weapons disintegrate organic material so it stops the flood from gaining biomass
The only way to survive this:
Hide in that glitched out spot behind the crates
This story from the book halo evolutions is probably one of my favorite short stories of all time. So well written, it definitely stood out from all of the other stories I've read in the halo universe.
i like the one about cole or my absolute favorite was dirt the one about the odst robing the bank
rick grimes omg, I LOVED dirt, best short story ever
Donovan Bobilya dirt kicked so much ass lol
agreed
no the best one is human weakness
This reminds me a bit of "Death Troopers"
Volox TV dude death troopers
i thinked the same. Both are prisoner ships, are zombies or flood everyhere. Men both stories are good. But the only difference is that in this nobody escaped.
Volox TV glad I'm not the only one who thought this
death troopers is way more terrifying
Volox TV yes
