Even if the flood don’t appear in the story. Do you think they should be in online modes in the future, such as a firefight type game mode?
You cannot have a Halo Ring and NOT have the flood. It’s like cereal with no milk, it could be done, but it would be really weird

Also the fact that Infinite is on Zeta Halo…
pointers, anyone?
Lorewise its logical the flood could make an appearance. Its Zeta halo in particular which has even greater significance in this degree.
From a game design standpoint, halo is at its best when you have more than one enemy faction duking it out. This is even more important in an open world game where you’re trying to keep things fresh for the player.

Yes, would love them to show up. It would be fitting too.
Given that it’s Zeta Halo, and everything that applies, it’s the perfect place to bring back the Flood.
However, if we don’t get them, I would be happy with them being referenced in terminals and other characters.

The Flood need to come back in the upcoming Halo Infinite. It’s been a very long time since they appeared in the Halo video games. I can see them coming back in the Halo Infinite side missions.

Im ok with flood side content but I dont want another main campaign or story with the flood. Im so sick of them. IMO they should have all been obliterated at the end of Halo 3.
Firefight on the other hand? Heck yeah go for it. Dont even mind.
I dont even like the possibility of the flood returning storywise. Let the last remnants of the Precursors die, please.
1000% hopeful they’ll be there.
I’ve been binging on content trying to catch up since Infinite got delayed, and since this is Zeta Halo I think we’re gonna get em’. Gravemind was a fantastic baddie, and I’d love to see another one return. Whether you want them or not, flood are integral to the Halo universe and are always going to be around.

Facts!
Hopefully in a firefight update later down the line, but I doubt that they’ll be in the campaign. Pretty sure we’re getting a Forerunner faction (maybe Prometheans 2.0) aside from the Banished.

Same.
I think they will bring in the Created and the Prometheans 2/3s of the way through to shake things up, a bit like the Flood outbreak in CE.
The Flood were maybe on the table early on, but I feel like that would have made it too much like CE.
Plus, given the backlash over the ending of 5 (and the story in general), 343 might want to address the Created issue early so that forward from the launch campaign, they have a lot more freedom to write, and don’t have the Cortana issue hanging over their heads.
However, the way I’d personally like to see them used as a kind of evil empire slowly assimilating worlds, while the UNSC, Shangheili, Banished, Innies, etc, all playing a kind of ‘War of the Five Kings’, fighting for dominance and recourses. Along the way, the Flood and the Didact would make appearances, eluding to their inevitable return, and creating more mysteries surrounding 100k BC and before.
I don’t know if they’ll be there in the beginning, but I think it would be surprising if they don’t make an appearance at all. This is Zeta Halo
Flood firefight (like what we’re getting for MCC ODST in S8) would be awesome in infinite. I’d love to see 343i add firefight to Infinite post-release.
Absolutely! I’m actually really excited to see how they reveal them in Infinite on Zeta Halo because you KNOW it’s coming.
If I had to guess, we’ll see them during one of the first underground explorations deep within the ring, which I can only imagine will be a terrifying ordeal.
In story they must be present in campaign as we are on one of the biggest former flood base of operations and theyare even conserved on parts of ring. About infection gametype they must be like H4( not that fast and ugly, I mean looking like a real flood form like H3 version) and must be perfect balance between survivors and infected like Reach and 5.

Irony being this should be said for the Covenant not the Flood. It would be nice if the focus shifted from Banished to Created/ Flood.

I haven’t read Shadows of Reach yet, but I’d always assumed the Banished were going to tie in to the Created somehow. I mean, who would the in-game Created enemies be if not them? Prometheans I guess? But it doesn’t seem they’ll be making an appearance this time around.

Lol no, that’s not irony. That’s you injecting your thoughts onto my statement and passing yours off as correct.
If it’s in campaign, then as long as it makes sense yes. No flood for the sake of flood, but some progression of the flood/gravemind/precursor storyline would be nice. As for other modes like firefight, of course I’d like to see them return. Flood fights are some of the best.
