'''Floodgate''' is the fifth [[campaign]] mission of ''[[Halo 3]]''.

This is also the first level in Halo 3 which you encounter the [[Flood]]. Upon disabling the Anti-Air Gun in [[The Storm (Level)|The Storm]], a Flood-controlled Covenant cruiser crashes in [[Voi]].  In order to eliminate the infestation, [[Master Chief]] and the [[Arbiter]] must overload the crashed cruiser's engines, wiping out the entire city and the Flood with it.

Upon completing it on the [[Normal]], [[Heroic]], or [[Legendary]] difficulties, the player will earn the [[Cleansing (Achievement)|"Cleansing" achievement]] and 30 [[Gamerpoints]].

''gameplay begins''

'''[[Miranda Keyes]]''': The Flood. It's spreading all over the city.

'''[[Lord Hood]]''': How do we contain it?

'''[[Miranda Keyes]]''': Find the crashed [[Flood]] ship, overload its engine core. Either destroy this city, or risk losing the entire planet. 

'''[[Lord Hood]]''': Do it.

'''[[Miranda Keyes]]''': Chief, make your way to the crash site.

''some time later, when entering the city''

'''[[The Arbiter]]''': (unintelligible)

'''[[Marine]] [[Sergeant]] (possibly Stacker){over COM}''': All squads, report!

'''[[Marine]] squad leader {over COM}''': Multiple contacts, unknown hostiles.

'''[[Marine]] {over COM}''': There! Over there! We're surrounded, Sergeant!

'''COM system''': {Flood screams are heard}

'''[[Marine]] {over COM}''': Aaaaah!

''You find a group of Marines in a loading ramp.''

'''[[Marine]] [[Sergeant]]''': Fall back, fall back!

'''Female [[Marine]]''': Sergeant, come on!

''[[Infection Forms]] and [[Combat Forms]] (including the new Brute ones) descend on the Marines, infecting and killing or forcing you to kill them. The female Marine who had spoken earlier is the only survivor.''

'''Female [[Marine]]''' (upon spotting the Chief): About damn time!

''The Marine accompanies you into a building, where you run into a lone Marine fighting off a horde of infection forms. It is possible to save him, but more often than not, he will be mutated before your eyes.''
