By the time [[John-117]] arrived at the location, the initial battle was over, with the remaining Covenant forces scattered and disorganized and the remaining human forces holed up in the entrances, lashing out at anything that came near. The Flood itself, as if sensing a potentially new victim, quietly withdrew to the hole in which they sprang and prepared to attack their new enemy, leaving only hideous remains of their earlier killing spree. After the Master Chief made his way through the swamp and into the facility, he encountered scattered Covenant, grisly remains of a terrible battle, a crazed Marine who was scared out of his mind and a single recording chip that told the entire story. | By the time [[John-117]] arrived at the location, the initial battle was over, with the remaining Covenant forces scattered and disorganized and the remaining human forces holed up in the entrances, lashing out at anything that came near.

Flood containment facilities appear in copious locations. It is also likely that there is a Flood containment facility at each ring, as there was one on both [[Installation 04|Alpha Halo]] and [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]]; however, the one located on Delta Halo had a massive Flood outbreak, spawning the ''[[Halo 2]]'' campaign missions ''[[Sacred Icon]]'' and ''[[Quarantine Zone]]'', as well as the ''Halo 2'' multiplayer maps [[Lockout]], [[Backwash]] and [[Containment]]. | Flood containment facilities appear in copious locations.

The ''[[Halo 3]]'' map [[Isolation]] also features contained Flood, but rather than being inside a containment facility, it is instead inside a part of the land that has been blocked off with a small [[Sentinel Wall]]. The ''Halo 3'' map [[Cold Storage]] is also located in a cryogenic containment facility located on Delta Halo. The ''[[Halo Wars]]'' [[Skirmish]] map [[Release (level)|Release]] is located in an area that has a containment facility being overrun by the Flood, evidenced by the external Flood biomass. This facility can be exploited by the players by releasing the Flood against the opponent's base. | The ''[[Halo 3]]'' map [[Isolation]] also features contained Flood, but rather than being inside a containment facility, it is instead inside a part of the land that has been blocked off with a small [[Sentinel Wall]].
