: Also something that I got as a first impression for whatever reason, the
: Flood pure forms in Halo 3 were literally spawn from the very walls of the
: hive. No evidence for that of course, but I think it fit into the Flood
: mentality well, and it certainly made me feel even more vulnerable when I
: first played, thinking that they could pop out literally anywhere.

: I would add to this that that's what enables ODST's to jump so high (from
: street level to the roof of a car) and survive such long falls. It has
: similar technology implemented, which was a direct result of research done
: on MJOLNIR.

: I guess I always thought that the weapon crates you find them in actually
: recharge the weapons. If Chief would just think to place them back when he
: was done...

: Also just thought: - The smart-link fiber optic cable was necessary for older
: variations of Mjolnir, but was made obsolete by wireless linking in later
: suits.

: - SOEIVs have inertial dampening fields to keep the occupants from turning
: into jelly upon impact.

Seems to have gone unused, but there actually is a tactical fiber optic line included in the Reach game code.

There was some storyboard art from Halo 2 that had a level where Flood would literally burst through a wall and come at you. Might have been for the use of the Flood Juggernaut model.
