Flood mode needs to be fixed.

Games Other Halo
1

  • Teammates sometimes appear as enemies, resulting in betrayals.

  • Flood with thruster packs are overpowered. Just give them full sprint.

  • Humans with Promethean vision are overpowered. Flood can’t hide or set up ambushes.

  • Flood cannot be customized in custom games, meaning that a lot of the fun game types that were in H3 and Reach cannot be created.

  • In MM, humans are an annoying putrid green color. People should be their own color in a free-for-all game type.

As a long-time fan of infection mode, I have to say I’m currently disappointed. If you have anything else to add, please post it below.

Thanks for all your support.

They really need to add the option to allow flood to hold weapons. With the binary rifle you can now have a proper predator game type! Just get an option to replace the flood arm with the regular spartan arm (with the flood color)

I agree with everything said in this post. Hopefully 343 will change these issues. Thruster packs are ridiculous, and the lime green colour of the survivors gives me a migraine.

Not to mention that we could make all the other famous game types like Fatkid, Omega Journey, Duck Hunt, Halo, etc. etc.

Thanks for agreeing with me. It’s only common sense people.

  • Teammates sometimes appear as enemies, resulting in betrayals.
    This is just a bug, and yes it needs to be fixed.

  • Flood with thruster packs are overpowered. Just give them full sprint.
    No, I do not agree on this one. I like the thruster pack as it is now. It makes it less easy for humans to survive and it kills camping. It also makes flood-kills far more awarding and harder to get.

  • Humans with Promethean vision are overpowered. Flood can’t hide or set up ambushes.
    I kind of agree with this one. I don’t think PV should be removed from flood, but I think there should be ways to avoid being detected by PV. By crouching maybe?

  • Flood cannot be customized in custom games, meaning that a lot of the fun game types that were in H3 and Reach cannot be created.
    Fully agree. There should be more customization overall though.

  • In MM, humans are an annoying putrid green color. People should be their own color in a free-for-all game type.
    Yeah, it’s kind of annoying, but not game-changing.

i thought this only happened to me.

also i’m going to be sad when they fix the glitch on complex, it’s too fun hiding under the stairs with 5 other guys. they’ll patch it really fast though

I voted no, because some of these are non issues for me. Some need to be fixed, others are just personal preference.

Hm. A solution to not removing the thruster pack would be nerfing it a little. It’s just far too easy to kill humans simply by spamming thruster pack all across the map. I will admit, however, that it is a good way to kill humans that are camping.

Very well. I appreciate your feedback. I think I’ll add another option to the poll in a sec. EDIT: I figured out you can’t add to a poll. Never mind.

Just fix the teammate thing for me and ill be happy. It only happened once where a teammate came out as red but I shot him. =)

13

For Machinima purposes the lime colour must be removed I found doing a Machinima shoot on flood mood a nightmare with the lemon coloured surviviors. Please give us the appearance option immediately!

You need to be able to change the weapons the flood hold. Or else custom games will virtually cease to exist. What made custom games great in Halo 3 was the amount of customization there was with infection mode.

15

I agree with everything you posted and i want to add on:

I dislike the yellow color of the Spartans, it defeats the purpose of why i even customized my Spartans color in the first place. I can’t see my colors in team games or flood and that’s what i play the most.

Thruster pack is over powered in everyway in Flood mode. You boost at someone swing a bunch of times and everytime you get a kill. Makes me what to not play at all so i only play custom flood matches where it is tweaked equally and everybody has fun playing. And by the way humans actually win sometimes in our custom games:)

Don’t like that you can’t run with Flood but you can shoot across the map in one thrust which mostly without fail kills me because i go off the cliff. Its just as bad as the stupid Halo reach evade, it was overpowered so you shot across the map and always fell off the edge or shot to far and missed the humans. Why can’t flood just get sprint and take off the thruster pack all in total.

Another thing not being able to customize the flood at all in custom games is dumb, i want it to be just like halo 3 and reach where you could set up anything you wanted. I don’t care for the flood arm skin sword either even though it was a cool idea, i rather see the flood grab weapons or start with weapons like halo 3 campaign or even if they just melee like they do naturally!!! The sword was only added in halo 3 because it was easy to do and felt right at the time of the beginning of infection. 343 you guys have complete controller over it and could easily do an arm slash instead of a skinned sword that looks like an arm. It was a thoughtful idea but i really see more potential in flood mode. Especially if you want people to keep playing till Halo 5.

I really want to see more skinned weapons too:) For all weapons, like you have a shot-gun skin and you choose it so everytime you pick up a shot-gun in game it gets skinned to you liking. I never liked the shot-gun look in halo 4 so adding a skin to it would at least make others and i happier about it. Just add more skins:)

I don’t like when i shoot a flood with my shot-gun and then he kills me. I mean come on thats crap, i shot him before he came at me, literally he should have been kicked back by the power and dead. But no somehow they always strike me. So annoying!!

I love the boltshot, it takes skill to use. I find sometimes if your dealing with a good player and they can easily take you out or dodge you. I have killed lots with it, and have been killed or dodged it in general. The timing is tricky too so its fun getting better at it. Now i can get double kills or save myself from death.

I want to see more forge money and objects you can spawn. Also i want to see something like forge world return. Why ignore good ideas from bungie i understand time and disc space issues, and halo 5 being worked on but we now have the game and have hard drives with ridiculous space for your dlc, forge has been improved since halo 3 why not forge world. I can’t make a decent level because i run out of walls or blocks and i am forced to alter a slanted bridge into one. And stuff i lock shifts in forge, i save it perfect and come back and everything like walls, blockes, bridges are all slightly off. Why?

And i want to see more armor abilities and skins, also i really want helmet add-on’s like halo reach did with lights and cameras on your helmet, ect it was very cool and unique. Also i want to see more chest pieces, ect.

I don’t like the flood mode because you don’t see any varation of flood type like you have your exploder flood, your skinny flood, ect. At least different flood form looks that kill the same way, and more noises from them.

I also want to be able to use more light orbs in forge, 4 is great for separate bases but i want to make a lot of stuff lighted. Also in ravine i made a closed off map and the sun is blocked completed and yet the lighting in my level is weird and over bright. It looks normal outside but when you close off a level in Ravine your weapons are over brightened and ugly. It makes my level look unprofessional and detracting when having gun battles.

Spartan ops, free and such a nice idea yet i keep seeing the same levels used with different objectives. That really disappoints me, i want variety and something different, not just the same map inverted like they used to do in the star wars racing game where you could invert the map and replay again backwards. How boring:( I know its free and so nice of 343 but i will gladly pay if the content is fresh. And also i don’t follow the confusing story-line of spartan ops, i am 22 years old and love the halo universe, yet i am confused by the awkward jumps in story and bad acting in game. These soldiers are hardly believable when i am playing in combat and i find it hard to become engulfed in halo now. I did love the halo 4 campaign yet i was disappointed by the sad grenade scene which defeated the mighty Didact in which he fell off. I didn’t buy that awkward cut-scene between him and the MC and i don’t think he is dead, even before seeing the legendary ending and hearing him speak. I loved the game so much and i am such a fan of 343 and there hard work so please don’t be sad or discouraged when you read this, i only mean to educate you so that halo becomes closer to perfect. There is a lot more stuff i have issues with but i can’t dwell on it and if you agree with my post then great, i am not trying to be selfish with what i want but at the same time its a game i have been playing for more than 10 years and it means a lot to me. So thanks for reading, and thank you for your hard work 343.

Hey there 343, we really do need the flood to be able to have guns and other weapons that we can choose for custom games to be anything like they used to be, also we need the flood classes to be able to be changed so that we could possibly take off the armor abilities or just change them to what we want and we could really use the option to give the flood sprint. In addition there is an issue with grifball in that there is no option to turn off passing the bomb, thank you for listening to what I have we have to say. And having our own colors in flood would be great along with, for the sake of custom games, turning off flood appearance so that they look like regular Spartans but to be honest it might be better to input a new game mode exactly like the old infection and then you wouldn’t need to modify flood mode so much for our custom games.

17

I agree one hundred percent!

18

Disagree on the second one. First off, did you not see all the DAMN camping in Reach because of Sprint?! Thruster Pack is fine for the Flood because they move slow as hell.

19

even better… just implant Reach’s alpha zombies into halo 4. like classic zombies. then all those zombie customisation options from reach can be copied into halo 4

20

I agree with most of the op, but the flood thruster pack is the only thruster pack that seems to work. The T-packs in other game modes move you like 3 inches.
