Gears of War has beast mode, Red Dead Redemption undead overrun…
Halo 4 needs one! Massive waves of flood coming at your way which can only be escaped by a brutal death. It would be awesome.
Discuss.
And COD and AssCreed have tower defense modes. Should we add that to Halo as well? No, because they’re gimmicky as all hell and only work in the first place if the developer commits sufficient resources to make it a core feature (like Horde mode in GOW’s co-op lineup.)
If 343 isn’t going to go at least as far we should instead focus on those parts of Halo that have potential but require more work (like SOPS) and that further distinguish this franchise as unique from all the others. That isn’t to say “No, it can’t possibly work” or that facing down an unlimited flood of death wouldn’t be fun but that 343’s efforts should probably be directed elsewhere.
Agreed on working on improving current features. But a survival mode should definitely be in Halo 4’s lineup, imho.
Like Firefight?
That would be ODST’s Firefight.
yea but with flood
I would love to see ODST FF return or even some sort of FF mode. Spartan ops doesnt fill the FF void at all
Spartan Ops was the replacement for Firefight which was Halo’s survival mode. It is a survival mode with objectives and a storyline. The reasons why it is considered a survival mode is because, 1) Alot of enemies will come at you with all they have and 2) have to be able to stand the same maps and the same predictable moments (like there are like 2-3 “ambushes” per chapter)
Why Flood and not any other enemy like we had in Firefight.
Nonono, S Ops isn’t survival at all. You can die ten thousand times it won’t matter at all. Spartan Ops is really boring in the sense that it’s way too easy without any death penalty. We need a true survival mode where you can help out fallen teammates and where when everyone is down, it’s game over.
Well in Reach the FF settings could be altered. Really all 343 would have to do in the next Halo game is add Flood as an enemy set to choose from.
It’s really unlikely it’ll happen in Halo 4 though. However, if they manage to do it, then they’ve earned my money.
I would like to see Survival Flood in halo 5. Its basically firefight with flood and waves.
In other words OP, bring back Firefight or make something similar? Hell yes! Anyone who’s against that is just plain -Yoink!-.
No it doesn’t.
What it “NEEDS”, as in, the thing that would benefit it most, is a proper Forge, Customs, and Theater.
Those things would extend the lifespan of the game drastically as the community would create new experiences, produce more marketing, and enhance the game in its entirety…
For FREE.
Though Firefight wouldn’t hurt.
I love odst ff! Hopefully they shall bring that back in halo 5 i still feel they should go back to halo 1-3 status mm wise

This too. Yes!
A flood survival mode is being requested a lot. I would not be suprised if 343Industries actually made this mode real in Halo 5/6.
Hell, I would LOVE to play that!

You mean, like,
A simple Infection variant?
Or Firefight, with Flood added in?

Floodfight, the idea that was floating around the Community for more than a year, but remained ignored by everyone that could do something about it.

I’m sure he means a Flood Firefight. I’m afraid it may never happen, because if Bungie never did it, then you know 343 won’t do it. The Flood won’t be in the new trilogy at all, I’m afraid.
It will just have to remain the best community request that we will never get.
