Do you think the Flood will return in future Halo games ??? Because the Flood exists outside the milkyway and maybe on other Halo rings, maybe the Halo ring from the lagendary Halo 5 ending. ( sorry for my worse english but I`m from Germany and i think my english is not so good.)
It’s been rumored a lot that the flood will return in either Halo Wars 2 or Halo 6. And that’s understandable. As you said the flood are in Halo rings and outside the galaxy but you also have situations like the original Halo Wars where there are isolated planets that happen to rampant with rogue infection.
By the way, your English was great in that paragraph! 
I would love for them to return.
I think the Flood will return when it’s time to complete the test for Humanity.
I think the most likely possibility would be for the Flood to return during Halo Wars 2 during either the main campaign or DLC. The comic titled “Something has Happened” gives some hints that the flood will return along with some new forms. It would also make sense from a marketing standpoint. Players have been begging 343i to include the flood into the next Halo Wars game, preferably as a playable character or set of characters. If they included it as DLC players would buy it, and that’s exactly what 343i wants. In terms of canonicity, it could be worked in rather easily. First of all, during the trailers a Halo ring can be spotted at the Ark most likely to be repaired. What if it’s one of the many rings that was used for researching the Flood and some specimens just so happen to escape and start an outbreak. They don’t necessarily have to go about it this way, but it is one of the many routes they could take.
I believe the Flood have completed their Precursor-designated roles, and will not emerge in force at a later point in the timeline, unless I’m incorrect about the Created being the final test for humanity’s ascension to the Mantle.
However, I’d be really interested in games featuring the Flood set in the past, particularly pre-Halo-firing, because that would free up 343 to create new and terrifying Flood forms and weapons.
In my opinnion the Flood is a better enemy as the Prometheans, because the Flood have these interesting backstory because the Precourser etc.
I think and hope they will. I liked it more when you played against the Brutes and the Flood, instead of the Prometheans and Elites.
I just hope that if the flood returns its like it has been before with the destroyable bodies and that green slime type of thing that resembles blood and none of that s*it from H5g where there is not blood, even when you shoot the enemies.
And I hope they bring the old (classic) Elite style back (Halo 2A). I hate these new Elite style ( Halo 4/5)
I hope that the Elites in Halo 6 are allies, because Juls Covenant are destroy (maybe the banished Elites as ennemies but i hope note)
and of course the Flood as ennemies.
and the old covenant ship design
I’m sure it’s quite possible they’ll return in Halo 6.
After all, the ending of Halo 5 we see a Halo ring.I’m willing to bet Halo 6 is going to be the biggest Halo yet. Return of the Jiralhanae, Skirmishers, Yanme’e, Sangheli, Ungoggy, Kig-Yar, Lekgolo, Flood, etc. All fighting for what they believe is right and wrong, same sides, different sides. I’m pretty sure Halo 6 is going to be the biggest yet.
Welcome OP, your English is just fine! 
I don’t know what to think, on the one hand the setting is ripe for the Flood to enter and shake things up. On the other hand, it feels like there is a conscious effort being made by Microsoft to make the franchise as a whole, more friendly to a younger audience, and in that sense the Flood bring too much horror and gore to the setting, so as a business decision maybe not. We’ll have to see.
If someone made me bet money on it, I personally would not bet on seeing them in Halo 6.
(Which means you should fully expect to see them since I’m nearly always wrong when I theorycraft, haha.)

What Microsoft should do is allow other independent devs to make money off their own Halo games, with both companies splitting the profit. Then, all these other times in the Halo Universe can be explored and not take up any of 343’s time.
There was another post somewhere on Waypoint a few days ago that suggested instead of destroying the Infinity’s plot armor, how about infecting it? Basically the Flood infects the Infinity, you fight through it, and another High Charity goes down. Only requirement I have for this is that the Infinity is mostly recoverable or salvageable. Humanity’s taken too many low blows.

Part of the reason Halo’s lore is as consistent as it is, is because they’re checking everything against the Halo Story Bible, to prevent contradictions from arising. That would be much harder with other companies making canonical Halo games.
That said, if they are able to preserve the lore’s integrity, I’d be fine with other devs making Halo games. Maybe one that specializes in 3rd person games could make one where you play as a Grunt, or we could get a space-battle game that’s like a console-equivalent of Halo Fleet Battles.

Maybe Microsoft could have a annual competition of sorts with other devs. The other companies would make their Halo game, present all of it at the competition, and the winner gets canonized and gets published by Microsoft and splits the profit.
