343's games have shifted tonally for a younger demographic so it's probably not coming back (hope im wrong)

@@tehlion7430 yeah they really have. I hope you’re wrong too but I don’t see it going back to halo 2-3 flood in particular. Just glad I grew up on classic halo

Glad you're wrong, haha​@@tehlion7430

Well the whole reason for Halo's existence was all because of the flood. After that's I always thought "... Well what now?"

@@ND_Dovadidnt halo 4 have a really fucking disturbing flood scene? It’s one of halos cheap 2d animations and it has a bunch of twitching forerunners being consumed by the flood?

Right?!

@@remakestation573 Lol. I'm glad 343 doesn't listen to your opinions. Their games would be even worse wuality than they are.

​@@NotARussianDisinfoBotWhat did they say

Pretty sure the 'Cortana' level from Halo 3 on the infected High Charity was originally supposed to include a battle like this, but instead we just got the second half of 'Floodgate' instead. Don't believe me? What does Miranda Keyes order you to do at the beginning of Floodgate? What do you do at the end of Cortana? EGGZACTLY.

I think hunters (and the worms that make scarabs) are immune to the flood

@Christoffer Good Bäckängsgymnasiet ES20C You or if infection forms took control of the core of Scrabs

@Christoffer Good Bäckängsgymnasiet ES20C and verticality. The scarab was so valuable because is could scale seemingly any cliff.

This looks much better than Infinite

@@TheTruth-13 Way better infinite has way to much texture pop in for a current gen game

The flood Colossuses

This would never actually happen in Halo due to the lore of how the flood work.

@@Gojira_Wins bruh the flood can turn entire planets into mobile bases. Stfu

@@Gojira_Wins Wrong *edit* Nvm I was wrong lol

or make it so the cannonballs it fires are filled with infector forms and combat forms.

you could make a weapon shoot out enemies in custom edition by scripting the projectile to spawn an AI; it was just tricky because you had to account for and manually place the AI's firing positions on the map. However, a scarab battle usually takes place in an enclosed arena, so the firing positions shouldn't be an issue. Maybe I should pick halo modding back up...

Scarab isn't mechanical. It's biological with armour plate. The reactor and control room is for the mounted weapons.

@@deejeh9494, scarabs are all mechanical besides it's core, which is run by lekgolo worms. The worms are the operators. Think human in a giant mech suit, small operator for large vehicle.

yeah I agree, not a fan of the design just being a giant crab or something, flood repurpose stuff more often than not

@@deejeh9494 like lambda said Scarabs are mostly a mechanical frame The only things that aren't are lekgolo worms in the core and the ones working as the frames tendons If anything it's biomechanical But only as much as a car would be with a person in it

@@JoysGameRoom yeah but whenever a scarab is destroyed it explodes due to the reactor blowing up. that's like, the only way we've seen them get taken down. I guess it's possible this was one of the ones being built, like in halo wars, but that was a prototype.

it would just be a pure-form, like the Tanks, Stalkers, etc.

@@MJS-lk2ej it would have to be as the lekgolo aka the worm things are nigh immune to them, in all the halo books that are out there has never been a case where that happeneds they even state that it is almost impossible several times, they dont outright say it is 100% but that is prob due to leave a space for a one time thing if they need more things to do to keep it interesting

@@TheMaddestMan1 I was just telling OC that whilst the flood couldn't infect a Scarab (due to Lekgolo worms having too simple a nervous system (they can still be food though)), the flood can and do make pure forms that are "Ultra-Heavy Infantry", called key-minds (they also serve as nodes for the Hive Intelligence), of which a flood scarab would be.

@@MJS-lk2ej if the flood infection form was intelligent enough to be able to control how the infection spreads, I could see this being done. But then you have instead an invasive aggressive life form that isnt by nature the same as flood.

The worms can still die. And flood biomass would replace them. Shut the flood biomass would replace any pilot same way it does with ships etc.

I mean in lore that simply isn't possible.

@@Pinkooru No, it definitely is. A Scarab isn't just a machine, it's basically like a Hunter armor suit for a giant colony of Lekgolo worms.

What would happen if chief got infected

The elites were messed up in their own way.

its just a scarab.......

@@Hank_Amarillo I know still very creative though it’s dope 💯💯

You tell them friend you sure got a good mind on creatively

I was disappointed by infinite perriod

I was really surprised there weren’t any scarab battles in the game sadly, at least the campaign is still really fun though

@@TheFreshestPrince I love the grapple hook and I'm a Titanfall fan. Halo Infinite relied so heavily on the grapple hook.

@@reyzephlyn105 the grappling hook was a blast what

@@TheFreshestPrince Never said it wasn't a blast. All I said was Halo relied to much on it. In Titanfall you can have a blast with and without the hook. In Halo not really cause big open spaces paired vehicles being sparse or useless. Is the game beatable without a grapple hook? Probably. But would it be remotely as fun or interesting? Let's put a nah on that. Titanfall added their hook in TF2 while maintaining the core of it's gameplay. It was a nice addition. Halo added theirs in Halo 6 but their core of big set piece battles, vehicle gameplay, weapon arsenal, and enemy variety are there, missing, or diminished. It was a nice crutch to pad out the experience

To him it’s just another objective.

funny enough in the books chief is scared shitless of the flood he just powered through the fear for humanity i guarantee he would be like oh hell no we are nuking this from orbit

The man was being held by the 80 meters tall Gravemind and all he said was to the Arbiter to relax...

@@dearcastiel4667 because he'd rather not piss this thing off

@@GlitchFoxStudio exactly. He's remarked on how he is frightened at most things he does, but just like in that situation, the best way out is to just keep going

It would go against all Halo lore though the flood cannot infect lekgolo worms because they do not have a CNS

@@gravemind6536 Doesn't have to be related to the scarab or the lekgolo at all; just the idea of a massive four legged flood form like that works. Like if the Gravemind has even more mass that it can now produce pure forms of far larger scale than before is what this looks like to me.

@@gravemind6536 flood biomass or pure mass over vehicles Canon in halo Legends

Scarab is the word for beetle in several languages and in english refers to the egyptian depictions specifically for example Scarabs always were beetles

Good thing this isnt a gravemind lmao

​@@Jimmy-wf6vyI'm pretty sure it would have to be that or greater to control a Scarab.

Just give up on halo infinite😂

@@KORUPTable Reject modernity and start believing.

Imagine 343 making a new gamemode (not from cod or other game something new)

Image cdc not equaling 343 (c)(d)(c)

@@KORUPTable Shut up.

Do a battle with it, and see it in action

Halo raid!

I don't think this was a thing actually. This was a retextured scarab. Anyway this wouldnt make sense because a Scarab isnt biological, it was a machine

@@xxnositxx Actually no scarab is biological it’s made up of Leckgolo aka the worms that forms the Hunters

@@xxnositxx Pretty sure Scarabs are piloted by the Hunter worms, and the Flood still could probably cover and corrupt one So I'm sure it is possible for a Flood Scarab to exist

@@xxnositxx Early scarabs were entirely machine, later scarabs were piloted by Lek'Golo

@@xxnositxx i know it was retexturized and scarabs are operated by lekgolo worms and i am aware that they cant really be infected easily by the flood , im just saying a giant flood vehicle thing would be a good idea

That would be cool, and for what else I think would be cool is. Seeing the Flood taking control of Phantoms, other ground vehicles and turrets

Imagine going to rip arse and it's a perfect alarm klaxon...

No it wouldn't, in the lore the flood cannot infect a creature that doesn't have a central nervous system (like the the Lekgolo, seeing as they're worms and lack a central nervous system). So the flood wouldn't be able to infect a hunter/scarab, but a gravemind would be able to model pure forms to function in a similar way.

@@northerner3340 That's why I said- this is a cool concept- as in under the circumstances of them being able to infect a scarab, they'd be able to infect any tech reliant on them. Obv this isn't current Canon friendly my guy

It could be canon that the flood just covered it in biomass from other beings in order to move and control it. Imagine limbs and bodies poking out of the scarabs hide...

@@nathanielessix3550 your original comment suggests you stated the opposite

@@flange9279 My original comment was that this is a cool concept- an opinion. And that if the rules of the universe allowed that concept then all tech used by the covenant that was infused with the hunter worms could be infected. Which is still a cool concept. I stated nothing about canonized material- I was simply excited at possible futures and resultant tactical/strategic situations from this one change.

@Billy William It's possible

@Billy William Well, from what I know from HALO 3. If you did, killed everyone on the scarab, the scarab will still move around

Scarabs are letgolo worm’s like hunters and can’t be infected by flood the same other living creatures can but they could probably still use the armor or something

@@fabioreyes5609 I was wondering if a small grave mind would be able to.

@@Mickey-wk1uj think so but I think a developed enough outbreak could make a pure form that size too

Except the lekgolo can’t be infected by the flood, as they’re far too small. Plus, the Flood would have to infect every last worm in order to gain control (and there’s thousands to millions of lekgolo in just a Hunter pair alone).

The flood can't control hunters, but it can consume them. Maybe they can control a consumed scarab?

id like to think this isnt actually a scarab hence no presence of the scarab weaponry but a flood amalgamation of its parts to resemble it instead

@@edivh_stories7287 i think so. they steal the memory of entities they consume and the can grow biomass any way they want. All they would have to do is kill someone that knows how to make the scarab and how it works and they could use it just like the ships they take over.

Actually the Flood can't infect Hunters because Hunters don't have Nervous systems like other species.

They can convert the hunter worms into biomass and control the scarab frame just like the worms used to

I'd say that it could be possible as the scarabs are made up of a large collection of legkolo worms (hunters) and the flood have been shown to attach themselves to vehicles to take control of them once they obtain a Gravemind, it just wouldn't be to that degree of corruption you would still be able to see the original structure

The Scarab it's just another vehicle bro, just like the Forerunner interstellar ships it can be controled once a Gravemind is formed. Meanwhile the Lekgolo worms are the ones being infected. Rtas 'Vadum wasn't playing "A single Flood spore can destroy a species"

Why does a scarab have no place being infected? If you're basing it off of it being a vehicle it's not really just a vehicle it's a giant colony of living worms that was armored and modified. Scarab's are made out of the same worms that make hunters, also even if it was all tech the flood is able to take over and control tech just as easily as biological species.

@@AbysmalRapture From what i understand the worms are just in the control center, and those worms aren't infectable. Only usable as food.

@@jeanm.abrego4673 I moreso meant that the whole ship probably wouldn't turn green. The flood could certainly control it, you're right, but it feels out of the way. they're more efficient as a tidal wave of flesh, rather than taking individual units or vehicles. Unless that vehicle is something mega powerful like a glassing ship, high charity, or - yes - a forunner interstellar ship.

I'd assume it's not actually made out of Hunter worms, it's just a giant pure form that takes the shape of a Scarab just like the actual Halo 3 pure forms take the shape of a Hunter.

You could be right there, and that would make sense. It’s a terrifying prospect, too. Even with its massive cannon and complement of Covenant troops, I’d much rather face an actual Scarab than this monstrosity.

It’s just the size of that specific colony creating that hive thought organism. The reason hunters are always in pairs, is because it’s one colony of lekgolo, split in half so as to give them the biggest reason to fight well, to ensure their other half survives. Typically lekgolo have viewed themselves as far superior to the covenant and therefore never care about friendly fire incidents.

That's scarier than fighting a scarab lol

@@ufoash440 you clearly didn’t play the Library from the first halo or Cortana from Halo3
