The new war games trailer released today shows the assassinations with the flag and how the Spartans IVs evaporate when killed. Does that mean their armor is like the promeathens which is flood combat ready? How would we have the tech to do that? If the forerunners are using it? Any suggestions?
Frankie said “because it’s cool”
Being an extremeley advanced ship,
the Infinity is equipped with “War Games” which pits opposing Spartan teams
in a ‘simulation’. Spartans disintigrate because they aren’t actually dead, so the simulation
removes the bodies to help the program run more smoothly.
Well that’s part of it, really. Only assasinations disintagrate the body.
So yeah, because it looks cool. That’s really the only reason assasinations do that.
That’s an intersting theory, though, with the anti-flood self destruction as a built in
safeguard for the Prometheans.
Kinda like Crysis, where you’d destroy the technology before the enemy could inspect it
It’s just a hologram.
It’s just a simulation. Therefore the vanishing act is just the computer getting rid of dead bodies that aren’t really there.
Although your example is wrong because War Games is just a simulation on a combat deck, I would still say yes they are ready to fight Flood if necessary. They would obvious read the reports of all the Flood encounters by the Master Chief as well as the Elites and would probably begin teaching future Marines and Spartans about the Flood.
CTF is non canon, as is oddball and Griffball
