Fire Fight "The Flood"

Hopefully we will see the return of The Flood in Halo 6, but I was just thinking how cool it would to have a Flood based Fire Fight map. It would be an excellent addition to the roster. It would also give old school fans a nostalgia overdose and the new players would get a eye opener as to what The Flood are all about and why us oldies keep going on about them. Setting the map in The Library with the elevator taking you to the next wave would be icing on the cake. 343i Are You Listening lol peace out LBC

I mean, even if the flood doesn’t make an appearance a flood based map would be nice and flood forge pieces would be nice

The issue with this idea is that it would take a lot of time and effort to design the Flood for this. They would have to create a ton of character concepts, figure out how they act and balance them. Not to mention the sound and visual design… It’s a lot of work for just one map. I don’t see 343i creating the Flood unless they’ll be an enemy in the campaign.

yeah I know but one can dream, defo want to see them in Halo 6 though, Flood Evolved

Only if the map is set somewhere on the original Halo. My 3 choices for what the map would be based on.

  1. Outside the Control Room on Instillation 04.
  2. In the structure the MC firsdt encounters the Flood (bridge room connected to a lab and an elevator room).
  3. Within the Library on Instillation 04.

You can make your own flood pieces, there are even some already made in prefabs.

I do want to see the Flood return, and it would be great to have them in Halo 6, but at the same time I don’t trust 343i to be able to do them justice. As it stands now, the Covenant aren’t all that fun to fight compared to how they were in Bungie’s games, and the Prometheans are far from an interesting faction. Like much of Halo 5, the Prometheans are a great idea that are poorly implemented. None of the enemies do anything all that interesting to stand out from each other or the Covenant, and their toughness comes from the fact that they’re bullet sponges rather than interesting and challenging behaviours.

While the Flood were rather basic in Halo 1, they improved drastically over time, becoming an interesting faction in Halo 3 with a variety of enemy types that were distinct from each other and the Covenant. Before 343i even thinks of tackling the Flood, they should at least prove that they can make the Covenant fun to fight and perfect the Prometheans.

Well if the flood are to make an appearance in HW2, it could lead to the flood being brought into Halo 6 for some reason. Firefight flood sounds like a good idea, it’s something different, doesn’t mean it’s bad though.

i liek Flood, I want the map to be interactive too, as in you could summon Sentinels to defend

all pretty good choices, i would add Pillar of Autum.
the dinning room would be a nigthmare

Like this?
The map better be flood themed or shows signs of it being in the process of turning into a flood hive.

I wouldn’t mind having a firefight map with flood because they would be slightly easier to kill than any Promethean

LMFAO, Pesky Prometheans

Won’t happen in Halo 5. Maybe Halo 6, in which case I want to see a swamp like the one in 343 Guilty Spark [Halo CE].

High Charity might be interesting, too

And Voi

The Ark. So many opportunities

Yeah I know wishful thinking, but hopefully HALO 6 will do the business, Gravemind final boss.:skull:

I want it to play like a horror game. Give me some teammates, an big dark scary map with flood fog, and my plasma rifle…

I’ll be set to go.

Would be enjoyable to fight a different enemy in firefight. I do get annoyed at the extremely strong metal armor the Prometheans have.

Ok with the OP.

+1 for The Library !

Awesome idea

I think that there should be flood in the next update for halo 5. It would make warzone firefight MUCH more challenging, cause i think warzone firefight is the easiest game mode ever, besides CTF
