'Floodfight'... Hope for a FPS Firefight?

343 Industries have recently announced their game, Halo: Spartan Assault, is coming to the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The new versions, compared to the Windows 8 Tablet/PC and Windows Phone 8, have a new cooperative feature, Floodfight.

In the First-Person Shooter games we have firefight but had begged the developers, Bungie then, to introduce the Flood into it, which to was heard on deaf ears.

343 Industries has shown a lot of promise, in the story making aspect of Halo, whether it is plot progression, character development, in-game vehicles and weapons or just game-mechanics, they show promise…

Now with the added Floodfight and suggested material on Halo Waypoint Forums we could perhaps get a Firefight mode that is more akin to ODST, and that has more species to fight. The new halo firefight could use ideas from both Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo 4, the WARGAMES simulator; it could feature events (maps) from both the Human-Covenant War and Post Human-Covenant War. This way we can get an assortment of enemies from each faction, and a leader of each faction is mentioned, when the faction receives orders, either through HUD or a ‘God Voice’. The factions and enemies could be:

<mark>- The Insurrectionists… new enemies perhaps? [Pre Human-Covenant War]</mark>

  • The Covenant Empire; drones, elites, brutes, grunts, hunters, jackals, skirmishers and Chieftain of the Jiralhanae (Chieftain Tartarus) (mentioned-only); [Human-Covenant War]

  • The Covenant Loyalists; drones, brutes, grunts, hunters, jackals, skirmishers and the Prophet of Truth (mentioned-only); [Human-Covenant War]

<mark>- The Flood Parasite; infection forms, combat forms, pure forms, swarm forms, the Gravemind (mentioned-only); [Human-Covenant War]</mark>

<mark>- The Promethean Ecumene; promethean knights, promethean crawlers; promethean watchers and the Ur-Didact (mentioned-only) [Post Human-Covenant War]</mark>

<mark>- The Storm Covenant; elites, grunts, jackals, hunters and the Didact’s Hand (mentioned-only) [Post Human-Covenant War]</mark>

  • The Servants of Abiding Truth; new enemies perhaps? [Post Human-Covenant War]

But having named most enemies we may possibly have allies like:

<mark>- The UNSC… marines, ODST, Spartan-IVs, Lord Terrance Hood (mentioned-only)</mark>

<mark>- The Separatist Elites… elites, Arbiter (Kaidon Thel’Vadam) (mentioned-only)</mark>

<mark>- The Jiralhanae Clans… brutes, Eldar Chieftain of the Brutes (Chieftain Lydus) (mentioned-only)</mark>

You could play as either Spartan-IVs, Elites or Brutes in a new firefight mode.

Rather than playing as a spartan, elite or brute why not play as a marine so it can become more scary knowing that a single flood spore can convert you to a flood so it requires a lot more teamwork to survive and be a lot more challeging :smiley:
