I wanted to know what you guys think about the flood, the ancient shan shayum , brutes and now rampant AI’s in Halo 6 .
I doubt we will see the Flood until the next Saga of games, or at least towards the end of this one. 343 have been planting the seeds of the Flood’s big bad return, much akin to the Reapers in Mass Effect. I doubt that they would let it go to waste by bringing them back right in the middle of their robot rebellion mess.
Now I could see them moving forward with a Brute and San’Shyuum led Covenant to replace that of Jul’s. The benefits of this are quite clear.
- Grunts, Jackles and Hunters would still be in, giving those who love fighting classic Covies what they want. - Return of the Brutes will give players a nostagic Halo 2 and 3 vibe. - Throwing the San’Shyuum/Prelates in would spice it up and give us something new.
We’ll see all Covenant species in Halo 6. Maybe there won’t be a “New Covenant”, led by Sali 'Nyon, or an “Old Covenant”, led by San 'Shyuum…or maybe there will be each Covenant and they’ll fight together against Cortana, or there would be a Civil War that’ll see the two Covenant fight each other

I would love to see the ancient San Shayum in actual gameplay.
That would be cool. The Flood won’t come for a while, though. San’Shyuum would be really cool, though. Hopefully they bring in old vehicles, like Brute Choppers (if the Brutes return), or the Hornet (we all miss it). Even some new vehicles, like the EVA Booster Frames from Legends, or even the Prototype from Legends would be cool.
I want to see a big brute boss, bigger than normal size brutes covers in bullet proof armor , knees shoulders and head
I would love to see the flood return. Even if it is to soon to bring them back. I mean, isn’t this what halo is about? The Halo rings eradicating the flood and slowing there ‘feeding’ process. The flood gave halo that creepy dark vibe that most have come to love. Or at least I did. Halo just isn’t the same without the flood.
Maybe one of Tartarus’s descendents could be in the game?
Maybe the San’hyuum Stoics will make an appearance; according to Covenant records, the San’shyuum homeworld was destroyed in a stellar collapse (super nova), but I think it was a falsehood perpetuated by the Prophets, to serve as a fallback sanctuary in case the Elites betrayed them. I think that in the millenia that the Covenant were exploring the galaxy outwards along the Orion Arm, I think the Stoics might have created their own interstellar empire, colonizing inwards towards the galactic core. As Cortana intends to conquer the whole galaxy, the Stoics will be a target. They might ally with the resistance against Cortana, but afterwards, they night turn against Humanity and the former Covenant races, as the use Forerunner tech, which in their eyes, is blasphemy.
It would be like in Halo 3; Chief and the Arbiter teamed up with the Flood to stop Truth from activating the rings, but turned against them afterwards. So, even if Cortana is overthrown, she’ll just be replaced with another enemy. What do you think of that?

I agree; fighting the flood was always fun fpr me when they lose an arm then still come at you but i think they should remodel them to look more like a parasite taking over someones body and less like a hygiene infection But 4 games(including halo 3 odst not halo wars) without flood is long enough for me i miss them
