Now this is an idea that I’ve had floating in my head, as I walked back and forth from work…
Why not make a Forerunner Flood Gametype?
Using the Forerunner weapons rather than the human weapons! As we know the Suppressor was made to combat many many MANY infection forms all at once, the scattershot is likely to be used for close range Combat forms of the flood as well! As we see the similarities with the human SHOTGUN. Being a huge fan of the Forerunner weapons, armour and (SOON Didact Refractive skins for armour and weapons!)
I’d love to see Hivemind combine with the usage of Forerunner tech. Give us a feeling of the final days of the Forerunners as we fight endless hordes of the Parasitic Flood, before the HALO rings wiped everything clean once more.
THIS IS JUST AN IDEA… As I said. It might not work due to the lack of many Forerunner weapons that don’t disintegrate flesh and matter on impact… AHEM Incinerator Cannon! Scattershot and Pulse Grenade! But it does make sense that the forerunners would create such weapons. The only way to kill the Parasite is to destroy it down to it’s molecules. Or in this case turn it to super heated Flood/Spartan Flakes.
Spartan Flakes, now apart of a nutritious breakfast!
(Warning May contain trace amounts of human flesh. Or other matter. You’ve been warned!)
Check my File Share I’ll also link you in a little bit to the original thread where I created the gametype in the first place. Spartans start with Scattershots and Boltshots, and there are 2 random ordnance drops per round, ranging from ammo refills to power weapons. Settings are similar to Hivemind in terms of balance between the Flood and Spartans.

Glad to be of services. However, due to certain complications, I more than likely will not be able to join you. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy the game I’ve gotten lots of positive comments about both the map and gametype. Feel free to download my other stuff as well Drive or Die, Bridge Wars, and Rocket Race are pretty popular among my friends.

Most Forerunner weaponry used by the Prometheans were also used to combat the flood. The reason why they incinerate bodies is because they were meant to incinerate the additionial biomass of the Flood so they can’t come back.
Wasn’t this covered again in Halo 4? First covered in Halo:Legends Origins?

It would be neat to see used in a matchmaking Gametype for the simple fact that we have Hivemind now, and it would be a neat variation. Or at least the addition of Forerunner Tech in our arsenal. But not Covenant. Sorry Covie fans, there’s no covie Shotgun it wouldn’t work.
