The Flood is not a virus, but yes.Quote:Yes, they clearly say element. For starters, the flood is a virus, which is composed of many many molecules (which are made up of the different elements for those that may not know). So nobody is mining the flood. One single element is what is being mined. There are only 2 possibilities off the top of my head: A valuable element is being mined like gold or silver; or an element that could be used in some sort of war manor - possibly radioactive??? The point is the flood is not an element.
It's not a virus, it's a conscious. It's a mind. It thinks.Quote:Yes, they clearly say element. For starters, the flood is a virus, which is composed of many many molecules (which are made up of the different elements for those that may not know).
Clearly, no one's mining Flood Infection Forms. However, them mining a mineral-esque manifestation of the Flood's original powder is very possible.Quote:So nobody is mining the flood.

Ridley Scott is an executive Producer, which is a fancy way of attaching a well-known person's name to a project without them having to be very involved with it. And 343 is the one writing the script, so, yeah.Quote:Does anybody else think the new trailer is a little TOO much like Prometheus?
The scenery, the secret organization, the thing that targets humans. Don't get me wrong, Ridley Scott is a....fine director, but it just seems a little TOO similar....

The enemy of my enemy is my friend... Temporarily...Quote:...On the flood theory, let's say that the compound is the flood why would it target just the unsc and not innies. The flood consumes ALL organic life of sufficient biomass.This compound sounds more like a metal or alloy and to say that the flood is selectively choosing its victims would imply that there is a gravemind and I doubt a small infestation on a colony world would would cause its existence. And besides it is said that "this compound selectively kill HUMANS" so by that statement Im guessing it encompasses all humans. This sounds more like a forerunner weapon to me than anything else although I do want the flood to return.
Not necessarily as TV executive producers can have more creative control than that of an executive producer in a movie.Quote:Ridley Scott is an executive Producer, which is a fancy way of attaching a well-known person's name to a project without them having to be very involved with it.

Because ONI would never lie, right? If there was, for example, a Flood outbreak, they definitely wouldn't come up with a less panic-inducing cover story. No, they're sending in elite manhunting squads to take control of shiny metal deposits, which have developed the inexplicable and completely implausible ability to "infect" humans within a ten-kilometer range. Scary stuff. I supposed we should count ourselves lucky that this homicidal metal vanishes completely and never appears in the universe again.Quote:Yes, they clearly say element.

So Paul T. Scheuring has a Halo counterpart. That's cool.Quote:Clarification: Paul T. Scheuring wrote the [historical account] in consultation with 434 Combat Readiness Lab (Hostile Environment Division) [re: Halo: Nightfall].Quote:And 343 is the one writing the script, so, yeah.
The flood dust was stated to be organic, just not alive.Quote:A lot of people are mentioning how it couldn't possibly be the Flood as this element mentioned in the trailer is, well, an element. In the broadest sense of the word, it would be something seemingly inorganic
The thing is that the Flood came from this fine dust made from Precursors. You must also remember that Installation 04 is also a research facility for the Flood. Maybe in the midst of their research, the Forerunner tried to "reverse" the Flood and blended them back into dust. It would make sense because it would be as if they tried to find an explanation to the biological origins of the Flood in order to try to counter them
