Flood weapon just a reskin

Is 343i going to tell us why they were too lazy to make a weapon icon for the flood claw? Because it has the energy sword sign which doesn’t make any sense, because it has different traits than an energy sword. I’m not sure about you guys but it bothers me quite a bit.

-__- its not a big deal

I don’t really care about the reskin, but they should just clear the HUD of wasteful information (like the infinite amount of energy of the flood weapon).

I know, I’m just wondering if they would give a reason, even if it’s “because we didn’t want to”

Yeah I’m sure it’s because they were too lazy, you got it, they’re only making an entire game after all.

We already knew that Flood was going to be an “updated” infection version with all the new armor abilitys and stuff, but it was still going to be infection, and that means “Zombies” have swords to kill the Survivors.
Swords
Swords
Swords

Therefore, a sword icon

who cares

The build when we first saw it, and I assume the IGN videos too, were a month old, not the gold version.

I was annoyed about it at first, but to be honest, it only makes sense.

it’s a game within a game…who -Yoink- cares?

really, like paintballers are lazy for not using live ammo and real rifles

It doesn’t take a -Yoinking!- genius to- just kidding, it’s better that infection on Reach and Halo 3 were the flood are green colored Spartans with energy swords.

The only thing that bothers me about that gametype is that the flood look absolutely nothing like a combat form. But it’s not really a big deal.

spore infected as opposed to infection form infected…also…spartan body mass density>>>>>human body mass density

follows logic they would mutate differently

They’re a take on Flood infection Spartan IV’s…

Did you really expect anything more?

Sure it works the same as a sword. But it’s a silly oversight. Golf club and hammer had different icons in Reach while having the same properties/effects.

spore infected vs combat form infected–maybe…it doesnt matter.
the new look is so that they can look like flood while still having the regular hitbox

> -__- its not a big deal

The Flood claw is just a reskinned Energy Sword that infects Spartans. Canonically, it could just be a simulated Flood claw that has pretty much all the same traits of an Energy Sword except the ability to infect others.

It doesn’t bother me too much, not a big deal for me.

They barely had enough disk space for the rest of the game as is. Having a re-skin saves on work and memory.

343 takes infection to the next level, makes it look enticing and interesting even to players who normally completely avoid the infection playlist. Rather than the dull “pretend” zombies played by spartans we have actual Zombies.

nope but thats not good enough I suppose…

some ppl just seem to complain for the sake of complaining.-_-
