Anyone notice that the flood doesn't infect Hunters, Jackals or Grunts
Has anyone noticed that the flood doesn't infect Hunters, Jackals or Grunts??? I wonder why o_0
-
The reason Hunters cannot be infected with the Flood is the Hunters are not one creature. They are a lot of little worms that form into one big killing machine, and so, do not have a central nervous system. Those same worms are also used to form Scarabs! Just in case you were wondering why Scarabs can't be infected either, and they use the same weapons as Hunters.

Halo wars has flood grunts and jackals
-
Hunters are many tiny worms combined but grunts and jackels are infect-able but they are only infected in halo wars I think they just didn't want the grunts and jackels to be infected in first person shooters but in halo wars you can lose grunts and jackels just because an infection form got them

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JUST DO IT TEAM I just think it would be cool to have flood marines, elites, jackals, hunters and grunts!!![/quote] There are flood marines and elites. Jackals and grunts would be terrible combat forms. Carriers' legs and groin also resemble a grunt's greatly. Hunters cannot be infected due to their worm nature. Flood sometimes play dead. When they get back up it only takes a few shots to kill them, much less than a newly spawned one = they had low health and played dead.

There was a reason. I think it was that they couldn't support the Flood, just like how they couldn't effect Sgt. Johnson because of his high levels of awesomeness.

I wonder why o_0[/quote] Can't infect Hunters as they are made out of many worm like creatures. Grunts are (i believe) the ones that blow up with tiny infection forms in. Jackals (IDK maybe that they are biologically uninfectable (if such a word).

massive flood hunters would be KILLER. hunters can already be a pain sometimes, but seeing a hunter 1 1/2 times its normal size, infected.....nuts.

Hunters: impossible Grunts: possible but Flood deemed them to be insufficient for combat and abandoned Grunt combat forms a long time ago... Jackals: unsure but they deserve it >:D Half Flood on the other hand... would be possible since it's a glitch. They really should be integrated into canon. Why Gravemind never used stealth I'll never know. H1 Flood used camo. H2 Flood drove vehicles and could have shields. H3 Flood attacks were more coordinated. It's time the Flood employ half Flood! Through half Flood, Flood will be able to reconfigure Elite energy shielding, making the recharge time instant!! [Edited on 11.25.2011 5:28 AM PST]

The flood usually only infects things of a certian biomass (size). Everything smaller than that size typically gets obsorbed by the Flood rather than infected. Grunts are infected in Halo 2 when you play on that station thing youmay notice on occasions when you shoot a carrier form that a grunt pops out in place where the carrier was. The grunt will usually be confused and stand still for a while. They are usually yellow or red in colour. The idea is that grunts and jackals can be infected and become carrier forms as they are too small for true combat. Marines, Elites and Brutes all become combat forms. Hunters are very difficult to infect as they are composed of worm like creatures with no real central brain or nervous system to infect. Hunters are pretty good for fighting the od as they are reasonably tough and can not be infected, but they can die if they get injured enough (of course).

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] the omega man117 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] saghellworld117 there already is infected marines and hunters in halo 3 but u can not see the hunters getting infected [/quote] Those are not hunters. Those are the "tank" varient of a flood pure form. Hunters cannot be infected because they lack a central nervous system. Also, jackals and grunts do not have enough biomass to be converted into combat forms. They are either broken down and turned into infection forms, or combined into a carrier form. The jackal and grunt combat forms in Halo Wars are gameplay elements and thus non-cannon.[/quote]This man speaks the truth.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JUST DO IT TEAM I just think it would be cool to have flood marines, elites, jackals, hunters and grunts!!![/quote] There are Flood Marines and Sangheili. Look more closely at the combat forms... Grunts and Jackals are just seen as extra biomass to the Gravemind, and so are Lekgolo.

This topic has been brought up before. Yes. Probably just because Bungie never added them in. I am kind of glad that there are no infected Hunters, they are already hard enough to kill as it is. Them infected would be more like a living Hell!
-
Aren't hunters millions of little worms combined? It would take a lot of infection forms to infect an entire hunter.
-
I know it is cool,Halo 3 features all you have mentioned. Halo CE just cannot do the same with the original engine and/or coding. EDIT: You won't see infected Jackals,Grunts or Hunters in Halo 3,but you do see Marines,Elites and Brutes infected in it. [Edited on 11.23.2011 12:56 PM PST]

Because flood infection isn't injected into the game's code. The Flood rises up all by themselves too...not because of a infection form like in Halo 3.
