As I march through waves of promethians like a lawnmower cuts over grass, I can’t help but miss the rush of running from flood as Master Chief in the old days. Running through corridors getting chased by hostile alien technology is far less creepy and adrenaline inducing as booking it from hordes of zombie like creatures who want to use your body as a vessel to whip out all organic life.
I understand it can be hard to explain the flood coming back since the Chief whipped them all out but I think they could easily make it so somehow one little potato bugger suvived and caused the flood to start spreading again.
Anyways, what do you guys think?
Would you to like to see the flood brought back?
Or do you prefer the promethians?
Halo Wars 2 brought back the Flood, so it’s very possible that they’ll appear in Halo 6. I really hope so, they were a lot more interesting to fight than Prometheans.
The flood need to come back a 4 way war between UNSC, Covenant, Prometheans, and Flood would be amazing. Fighting the flood was amazing and absolutely terrifying as a kid playing CE. Seeing them come back would be not only nostalgic but interesting to see how they integrate. Plus WarMachine01992 has a point they are in Halo Wars 2 so bringing them to Halo 6 wouldn’t be hard.
I love the promethean design but bringing the flood back would be great. I think that is actually part of 343’s plan for halo 6.

I sure as hell hope so.
I hope the Flood are brought back and the Prometheans are either gone or in a much lesser role in H6.
Eh im ok with them dead. I wasn’t a fan of the flood when it was a thing
more easy, just making a play list of flood and not make it canon

Oooh. Maybe after many of the Prometheans are eliminated, it turns out the Flood’s been hiding the whole time and they come back that way!
I love the flood. But I love the covenant and the promenthans as well. But overall I love the idea of Halo itself. It’s an universe that literally, if Microsoft, devs, etc wanted to, could never end. Games could be constantly produced. New characters new story, and I don’t see halo dying. Rough patches, well yeah look at 5-but the halo community is strong. I want the flood to come back in a meaningful way. I don’t want 343 to put them in just to make some fans happy, well ALOT of fans happy. If they bring them back they need to be a part of the story, a driving force for the characters and by that extent the player.

I think I prefer the Flood and it was brought back in Halo Wars 2. Confirmed, signed and sealed 
The Promethians are not “bad” enemies per se, but they haven’t been properly developed and fleshed out, in my opinion.
Most of the fights involving Promethians are extremely boring, because A) Their weaponry only has 1-2 effective pieces that can challenge them, B) They are too accurate and too bullet spongy and C) They don’t have unique enough mechanics and behaviors that set them apart.
Halo 5 made a good step forward in fleshing out the Promethian classes, but they still feel like generic robots that can one shot you from across the map and can teleport.

I have Halo Wars 2 but to be honest I havent touched the story much yet. Lol
Does it take place after the events of Chief then?
I’m definitely more enthusiastic about doing the campaign now that I know they bring the flood back.

It’s in the DLC “Awakening the Nightmare”. Don’t wanna spoil any more than I did

HW2 takes place shortly after Halo 5.
Agreed
The 4 way fight idea is awesome
UNSC, Banished, Created/Promethians, Flood
So sick!

I completely agree. We need the flood to be story driven, a real threat, not just a thrown in enemy. That would be majorly disappointing if they were just thrown in.
Since 343 reintroduced the flood in Halo Wars 2 it’s very likely they’ll have a role or appearance of some type in Halo 6.
I think we’ll definitely see them again. Don’t worry about that. But I presume 343i will get through the current run first (4,5,6) before returning to the Flood etc.

It seems to me that they have just reminded us of it, but did not get the Flood back in fact.
