Especially, if they come out the blue. Also if 343i doesn’t really explain their back story and are just here for variety’s sake. Smells like a Promethean.

Awww think about it! A Promethean-Flood crossover! That would be pretty cool to face and maybe it could be a four way fight! UNSC vs The Covenant vs The Prometheans vs The Flood!

That would be amazing.
A desperate struggle between robots and parasites, with humans and aliens caught in the middle.

I think we’re going a little bit too far and quickly for the next game or two to employ such a thing :-/

Definitely something I want the next game or two to build up to. Without a single doubt.

Will they encounter the next Halo or even multiple Halos next game?

Possibly. However, flood could of been released by anybody on any Installation.

We’ll probably get flood with one shot incineration cannons and overpowered thruster packs. That said, it would be cool to go to Installation 07. It would be a flood wasteland and 343 would do a great job with the decaying world and possibly the reactivation of one the grave minds there.

I vote one hundred and seventeen YES’s on this!

You would think people/covenant would know not to release the flood from Installations anymore.

You would think so, but then again this happened.

Moving a little fast there Cream.

It’s not call it the “Timeless One” for nothing. The Flood will return, of that I am certain. How and when? Well, that’s the debate now isn’t it.
I for one will welcome the return of the long-absent Flood. While IMO the Flood’s design has declined from game to game, I have confidence that the “new” Flood will be scary and hopefully a return-to-form of the Halo Combat Evolved Flood.
While I do not expect the new Flood to look like the Halo:CE Flood, I want that feeling again, like I’m up against something truly terrifying.
For me, for this to happen, The Flood-Precursor connection needs to be shown in-game. Bring in the Precursors, show us the “Space-Cathulu”. The UNSC needs to be knocked off their pedestal. The return of the Flood/Precursors can do this.

Also, it needs Flood Juggernauts, many Juggernauts.

I completely agree.

I thought H3’ pureforms were a good idea, but overall CE flood were by far the best.

As ‘annoying’ as rocketlauncher flood could be, they also added to the scare factor.

343 seems good at making things look monstrous, they should be able to do a pretty good job on the flood.

I hope we get to see the flood in Halo 5. Though I want it to be a surprise. Not a CE type of surprise though.

UNSC and Covenant Remnant fighting over some Forerunner artifacts on some(populated) planet. Everything seems normal. Then boom flood ship out of nowhere. Chaos ensures.

the floods coming back and this time they are cybernetic organisms

Prometheans and covies are already working together, so it would be more like UNSC vs Covenant/Prometheans vs Flood. Was it even explained how the flood were released to begin with? I know it had something to do with the covenant, but i don’t think it was elaborated upon very effectively. Sorry, i haven’t read the books, so forgive me for my lack of information. Personally, i believe the flood have already been dealt with. Why should we have this burden again?
