A Flood-infested wall.

Lord Hood grimly watches Miranda Keyes as his Pelican leaves.

Floodgate is the fifth campaign mission of Halo 3.

Introduction

It takes place in Voi, Africa, Earth during the Second Battle of Earth and is also the first campaign mission where the Flood is encountered.

Upon disabling the Anti-Air Gun in 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 and 30 Gamerpoints.

Voi, Africa, Earth
Second Battle of Earth

01: It Followed Me Home

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. We 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 Commander (COM): All squads, report!

Marine Sergeant (COM): Multiple contacts, unknown hostiles.

Marine 1 (COM) : There! Over there! We're surrounded, Sergeant!

Flood screams echo in the air

Marine 2 (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.

Infected Marine: Uhh! Get off me!

Marine 3: Crikey!

If you do not save the Marine, the Infection Form dives into the Marine's chest, causing his back to swell and his skin to change color. He collapses to the floor then Whip Tentacles grow out of his right arm and then the sensors on the Infection Form pop out of his chest wound.

Cortana: I can't tell you everything...it's not safe.

02: Shadow of Intent

SPARTAN-117 and the Arbiter enter the lake bed of Voi where the Scarab was previously fought, and three Elite-controlled CCS-class Battlecruisers fly in formation as the Assault Carrier Shadow of Intent slices overhead from Slipspace, scattering Orbital Insertion Pods.

• Rtas 'Vadum: Humans, take heed. This is the carrier Shadow of Intent. Clear this sector while we deal with the Flood.

A Major Domo Elite and a few Minor Elites leap out of the landed Orbital Insertion Pods ahead of you, fighting against the Flood.

• Major Domo Elite: High Charity has fallen and become a dreaded hive! A single Flood ship broke our lines and we pursued.

• Arbiter: But how? We had a fleet of hundreds!

• Major Domo Elite: Alas brother...the Flood has evolved!
