It would be cool if Halo as a franchise branched out into other genres of games for spinoffs. We have already had two twinstick shooters and one RTS with another on the way. I think it would be cool to make a Halo horror game. I don’t know how it would fit into the lore because I’m not a lore expert but maybe you play as a marine or a civilian and you have to escape from the flood without any weapons in a dark scary enviornment. Other games could include a game like Telltale’s The Walking Dead or Life is Strange. The game is mostly cut scenes and puzzles where your choices change outcomes throughout the game in an episodic Halo adventure. I would love to see games like this in between releases of the main series FPS games (not that I don’t like them, I am hyped as everyone else for Halo 5!)
I wanted a horror-themed Halo game, too, for a long while.
I imagined it as being a marine in a Flood encounter on Installation 04. Remember that cutscene with Jenkins’ helmet? That’s the intro, and you are the one marine who escapes (screw canon). You have to deal with dark areas (you have a flashlight), limited ammo, and avoid as much Flood as possible when they rove around. A cool mechanic would be the Magnum SmartScope, which you would use to look around corners and such. And figure out how to use the Forerunner security to your advantage, to at least hold them back for a while. And you gotta take calculated risks to secure ammo and weapons from the few gun-toting Flood, or find them on corpses if you’re lucky. Game over when killed or infected by a spore, gruesomely.

I agree, do it with ODST 2.
