So me and some friends decided to play flood today on halo 4 matchmaking and… Honestly me and my friends have more fun playing my flood custom game flood customs. (Not trying to toot my own horn or anything, it also includes other people’s forge maps also)
It just doesn’t seem as… fun, as the ones on halo 3 and Reach. I used to regularly play those infection types. I don’t ever play the new flood mode, and I remember now why I haven’t been playing it.
I love the new idea flood skin, and sort of yellow armor for the humans, as I imagine it as a hazop team.
Here’s what I think could greatly improve the new Halo 4 flood mode though:
-removing the thruster pack, and adding sprint for the flood players. It seemed ALOT scarier when the infected ran after you, not flew at you like jets. This is the part that ruins flood for me the most.
-allow the humans to possibly start with assault rifles or shotgun. I know this might not fly with most people, but I tried it recently in my custom games, and it’s not as powerful as you would think. Ammo goes fast with the assault rifle.
-start putting in new forge maps specifically made for flood mode matchmaking. There are SO much maps out there that are so good, and really fitting the flood mood. They just scream flood, and I don’t think it would hurt flood playlist to add all sorts of maps!
Anyway, I truly think this would really help the flood playlist. If the flood playlist got a massive upgrade, and got spiced up tons, i could truly see it one of the most popular playlists!
Do you guys like these ideas? Do you’s agree with my ideas presented?
What are your ideas?
Oh yeah, I’ll even throw in a poll for yous to check out!
Thanks for reading guys, I hope with this thread 343 will see this from the communities eyes, and will change flood up!
Keep it positive guys, this isn’t a thread for the community to rip on 343 or Halo 4.
In the last few pages people have created their own gametypes, tested them, and got feedback, then tweaked the settings until it was agreed the game played well. The Boltshot has finally found a home, if only 343 would update the playlist.

How exactly do people use the boltshot in flood? This is really interesting and have never thought of this! For as long as I have been making halo 4 flood maps, I never thought of this lol.

It behaves like the Halo 2/3 Magnums, minus the dual-wielding but the BS’s rapid fire kinda makes up for that. No more humans camping up on top of the map sniping zombies with their scoped pistols.
All we need is some fitting forge maps, and some modified default maps with cover maybe. Not really sure how we could change the default maps to run with zombies(other than Speed Demons), most of the maps are really large and restrictive in budget. You can only get 10 crates per map now, on a large map like Complex that’s not enough to make it work for zombies, I think.
I don’t play Flood, I played infection in Reach and loved it. Flood just doesn’t have the same feel… maybe its the AAs. I dunno, it could definitely benefit from new additions tho.

I would rather heave the new flood, just with more customization with it.

Well, you gotta start somewhere. Still, I don’t know when 343 are going to do any updates to Flood or Custom Games. It’s a really disappointing situation, all we can do is hope they work faster.

Ew, no. Why in the world would you want that? What fun would that be?

The Flood’s lowered speed would make up for it. Thus forcing the Spartans to work together (of course there should be good maps where all the Spartans can’t just camp or else it’ll be Reach Infection when the game first came out)
Oh, also, the Spartan’s radar would be very short (but it would have to be there no doubt)
Thereby making everything more action oriented and not a camp-fest.

Imo, of course it has validity, people voted didn’t they? Plus many other threads have discussed the issues with flood and how it needs improvements. So from what I’ve seen, the majority of the community dislikes flood.
