Halo Custom Edition Flood
Welcome to my Halo Classic Flood SNPCs pack!This works well with this.How infection works:Infection forms are capable of infecting live and dead (S)NPCs. If they are alive, the infection form will leap at them and infect them if their health is low enough.
In all of the Halo games, Flood combat forms always hold certain two-handed weapons with one hand, and can actually reload them without doing a reload animation. These weapons include the Shotgun, the Rocket Launcher, the Assault Rifle and others. Reddit's home for all things Halo. Those first person animations are some of the best I've seen from the custom edition community.
They can also infect dead bodies at the point as well. Infection forms are capable of infecting VJ Base dead bodies(there's no way to make them decide if the corpse would make sense to infect). To infect Half-Life 2 character corpses, you need to make sure 'Keep Corpses' is checked in your context menu. If the bodies are close enough, the infection form will stop chasing their enemy and infect the body.
They can also infect players too!.NOTICE. VJ Base is required for this addon to work!Found a bug? Copyright © 2019 by Cpt.

Concept art of a Flood combat form. The left hand has been replaced with tentacles, and the infection form's sensory apparatus sprout out where the head once was before it was corruptedThe Flood is depicted as a parasitic organism that infects any sentient life of sufficient size. The largest self-contained form that the Flood can produce itself without using other biomass is an 'infection form'.
These forms seeks hosts living or dead, attempting to drive sharp spines into the host and tap into the nervous system. The host is incapacitated while the infection form burrows into the host's body and begins the mutation process, bringing the host under Flood control. Depending on the size or condition of the body, the infection form mutates the hapless host into various specialized forms in the continual drive for more food.

Larger hosts are turned into forms for combat, growing long whiplike tentacles, while mangled and disused hosts are turned into incubators for more infection forms. The Flood also creates forms known as 'key minds' to coordinate the Flood; these include the apex of Flood evolution, known as '.The Flood was added early in 's development of the 2001 video game, before the game had made its jump from the platform to the. A design for one Flood form appeared as early as 1997. Commenting upon the inception of the Flood, Bungie staff member Chris Butcher noted that 'the idea behind the Flood as the forgotten peril that ended a galaxy-spanning empire is a pretty fundamental tenet of good sci-fi.
Yeah, and bad sci-fi too.' Another inspiration was 's The Vang series. The early design for the Flood was done by Bungie artist and writer Robert McLees, who considers himself 'the architect' of the Flood; the Flood's roots are reflected in concept art of a 'fungal zombie' that McLees did for the earlier Bungie game. McLees also did all the early concept art for the Flood.Based on the behavior of viruses and certain bacteria, the Flood was intended to be 'disgusting and nasty'. The creatures were constructed from the corpses and bodies of former combatants, so the artists had to make sure the Flood soldiers were recognizable while changing their silhouette enough to differentiate them from the uninfected.
Many concepts and ideas were discarded due to time constraints—initially, the Flood was intended to convert any species of the alien into soldiers. 'We didn't have the resources to make it happen,' McLees recalled, so they modified the game's fiction to suggest that some Covenant were too small or too frail to be combat troops. Likewise, the Flood enemy intelligence was intended to be as complicated as that of the other enemy faction in the game, but full implementation was cut for time. The dinosaur-like terrestrial wildlife that originally dwelled in Halo's environments were dropped due to gameplay constraints and fear that their presence would reduce the surprise and impact of the Flood.Bungie decided a new visual language for the Flood was needed for Halo 3. The task of developing the new Flood forms, organic Flood terrain, and other miscellaneous changes fell to Vic DeLeon, then Bungie's Senior Environment Artist. Early concepts of what became new Flood types in the game called 'pure forms' featured the creatures wielding an array of weapons via tendrils, while forms like the Flood infector and Flood transport concepts never made it into the final game. Flood-infested structures were designed as angular to counterbalance Flood biomass, as well as provide surfaces for the game's artificial intelligence to exploit and move on.
New additions were designed to be multi-purpose; exploding 'growth pods' that spew Flood forms were added to the game to adjust pacing, provide instant action, and add to the visuals. Pictures provided further inspiration. Halo 3 added new capabilities to the Flood, including the ability for the parasite to infect enemies in real time. Bungie used Halo 3 's improved capacity for graphics to make a host's sudden transformation into Flood form more dramatic; two different character models and skeletons were fused and swapped in real-time. Appearances Games The Flood makes its first appearance more than halfway through Halo: Combat Evolved, during the story mission '343 Guilty Spark'.
A group of humans fleeing the enemy alien Covenant land on ', a built by the alien. The artificial intelligence sends the supersoldier to find their commander, who disappeared in a swamp while searching for a weapons cache. The Master Chief discovers that the Covenant have accidentally released the Flood. Keyes' squad is turned into soldiers for the parasite, while Keyes is interrogated by the Flood in an attempt to learn the location of Earth and ultimately assimilated.
The emergence of the Flood prompts Halo's caretaker artificial intelligence to enlist the help of the Master Chief in activating Halo's defenses and preventing a Flood outbreak. When Master Chief learns that activating Halo would instead wipe the galaxy of sentient life to prevent the Flood's spread, he and Cortana detonate the human ship Pillar of Autumn 's engines, destroying the ring and preventing the Flood from escaping.The Flood returns in (2004), appearing on another Halo ring called '. The Flood on Delta Halo is led by the Gravemind, a massive Flood intelligence that dwells in the bowels of the ring. Gravemind brings together the Master Chief and the Covenant holy warrior known as and tasks them with stopping the Covenant leadership from activating the ring. In the meantime, Gravemind infests the human ship In Amber Clad and crashes it into the Covenant space station of High Charity.
Once there, the Flood sweeps through the city, and the Gravemind captures Cortana. As the Flood spreads, the Covenant form a blockade in an effort to prevent the parasite from leaving its prison.The Flood reappears in the mission 'Floodgate', on board a damaged ship that escapes the quarantine around Delta Halo. While the infestation of Earth is prevented, Master Chief and Arbiter form a tenuous alliance with the Flood to stop the activation of all the Halo rings at the Forerunner installation known as the Ark.
Once the threat is stopped, the Gravemind turns on them. The Master Chief fights his way to the center of High Charity, freeing Cortana and destroying the city, but Gravemind attempts to rebuild itself on a Halo under construction at the Ark. Realizing that activating the ring will destroy only the local Flood infestation due to the Ark's location outside of the Milky Way, the Master Chief, Arbiter, and Cortana proceed to Halo's control room, activate the ring, and escape. The Gravemind warns them that his defeat will only delay the Flood, not stop it.The Flood also makes an appearance in the video game spinoffs. In Halo Wars, they are encountered infesting a Forerunner installation and ultimately annihilated by the actions of the humans ship Spirit of Fire 's crew.
In the Halo Wars 2 expansion 'Awakening the Nightmare', the alien faction known as the Banished accidentally release the Flood while salvaging the wreck of High Charity. The Flood also serves as an enemy in the game's cooperative 'Firefight' mode.
The Flood also appear in cooperative play in.With Halo 3, the developers added a multiplayer gametype called 'Infection', a mode based on a fan-created scenario where human players defend against Flood-infected players, with each slain human adding to the infected's ranks. The game mode returned in (2010), (2012), renamed 'Flood', (2014),. Other appearances The 2006 anthology expands upon the Flood's release during the events of Halo: Combat Evolved in two stories, Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor and 'Breaking Quarantine'. Whereas the Flood is only hinted at being intelligent in the game, the Halo Graphic Novel shows the Flood has a, assimilating the knowledge of their hosts rapidly., writer of The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor, described the basis of the story as a way to showcase the true danger of the Flood as an intelligent menace, rather than something the player encounters and shoots.
Hammock also stated that the story would prove the intelligent nature of the Flood, and 'hopefully euthanize the idea that they are just space zombies'. The threat of the Flood is also highlighted in a short story from the Halo Evolutions anthology, 'The Mona Lisa,' which was later adapted into a.The Flood also features heavily in 's trilogy of novels, which takes place thousands of years before the events of the main games. The novel Halo: Silentium reveals that the Flood is what remains of the Precursors, an ancient race that was said to accelerate the evolution of a species and shape galaxies. The Forerunners overthrew the Precursors; on the verge of extinction, some Precursors reduced themselves to a biological powder that would regenerate into their past selves. Time rendered the powder defective, and it became mutagenic, reacting with other living organisms to produce what would eventually mutate into the Flood. The Flood would threaten ancient humanity and then the Forerunners, who ultimately build and activate the Halo Array to stop the parasite's spread. Analysis.
This frog infected by demonstrates limb mutations similar to Flood combat forms.The name of the Flood is one of many names taken from religious stories in the Halo franchise. The Flood and especially the Gravemind serve as demonic or satanic figures, and the Master Chief's descent into the bowels of Halo to encounter the Flood can be likened to a journey to hell. Academic P.C. Paulissen notes that the name 'Flood' suggests a reference to the, with the Forerunner Ark being shelter from the Flood's destructive and cleansing power akin to the bible.The lifecycle and parasitic nature of the Flood has similarities to the behaviors of real-world parasites. The Flood's induced physiological changes recall the modified eyestalks of hosts infected by, or malformed limbs of -infected amphibians. The Flood's habit of altering its surroundings has parallels to the parasitoid wasp ' use of spider's webs for protection. Cultural impact Merchandise The Flood have been featured in four series of Halo, produced by Joyride Studios.
For Halo: Combat Evolved, Joyride produced a Carrier Form and Infection form bundle. Halo 2 's series contains both a human combat form and infection form (bundled with the Master Chief), which were released after the video game. Armchair Empire's review of the figure expressed the sentiment that Joyride's models could not totally capture the ghoulishness texture and detail of the Flood. Produced action figures for Halo 3, and the third released series featured a human combat form. Other merchandise includes an Xbox 360 Avatar prop, and a limited edition silver-plated statue of Master Chief fighting a Flood form.
Critical reception The surprise appearance of the Flood during Halo: Combat Evolved was seen as an important plot twist and a scary moment even after repeat playthroughs of the game., writing about video game plots, gives the example of the Flood not only as an important reversal to the story of Halo, but a textbook example of how games and their stories are made more interesting by twists in the plot. And credited the appearance of the Flood as an excellent way the game kept players on their toes, forcing them to adjust their strategies; Rolling Stone called the twist as shocking 'as if, several levels into a game of Pac-Man, the dots suddenly began to attack you'.Despite the positive acclaim in Halo, the response to the presence of the Flood in Halo 2 and Halo 3 was mixed. A panel of online reviewers noted that the Flood appeared in Halo 2 for no obvious reasons, and was simply described as 'aggravating' to play against. Similarly, reviewers including Victor Godinez of felt that the Flood was too derivative of other stereotypes, and functioned as 'space '. Daniel Weissenberger of Gamecritics.com noted in his review of Halo 3 that even though the Flood looked better than ever, its single strategy of rushing the player proved tedious over time. 's Charlie Barratt listed the Flood as the worst part of Halo, contrasting what he considered fun, vibrant and open levels before the Flood's appearance with confined spaces and predictable enemies.The Flood has been recognized as one of the greatest game villains, making lists of greatest villains and enemies from, Game Daily,. Considered Flood possession in Halo 3 as a 'great gaming moment' of 2007, stating that 'with the power of the 's graphics, this reanimation comes to vivid, distressing life, more memorably than it had in the earlier games.
Here are the zombies of gaming doing what they do worst. It's grisly and unforgettable.' Listed the Flood as the 45th best video game villain, describing it as one of the most hated video game villains in the history of video games. References. Trautmann, Eric (2004).
