Go to this page. It’s the GI Halo 4 hub on their website.
Scroll down and look next to Chief’s AR. See those cords?
Two things came to mind when I saw them.
They could just be wires from stuff inside the ship.
They look like the tentacles Gravemind has in Halo 2. Could the Flood really make a return in Halo 4? As far as I know, 343i has not spoken on the Flood and has not said whether or not they will make a return.
I know that in Halo 3, the fight against the Flood is supposed to be over for good. Thing is, every Halo installation has Flood samples they left behind to study. I doubt they did this in shield worlds, the places built to protect life from from the blast of Halo in an attempt to starve the Flood, so why would they put Flood samples in a shield world?
Then this comes to mind: there is Flood inside the shield world in Halo: Wars. I don’t know how they got there. They may have said it in the game, but it’s been a long time since I have played it, so I don’t remember. If the Flood was in there, then it’s totally possible for them to have an existence in Requiem, too, the shield world in which Halo 4 takes place in acording to GI.
How they would get there, I don’t know, but keep in mind that the Forward Unto Dawn (the Frigate for those who don’t know) was on the Ark where the Flood was at in the last mission of Halo 3, so it could very well be possible that a carrier form (maybe even more than one) made it onto the ship before it left and has survived somehow this whole time. The Flood could then feed off of the Covenant enemies in the game and/or the UNSC if they make it to Requiem during Halo 4. This could mean the return of the Flood in Halo 4. That would mean that we would now have 3 enemies to fight: Covenant, the new enemy, and the Flood. The Flood’s appearance could change everything in the game.

Nice find OP!
Interesting to think about, though it looks like the cord is attached to the light, i could be wrong.
I think they are probably just wires, its a nice thought but the flood have been in four of the six halos and they havent been in the last two. I think they wont come back.
Nice eye, I’m glad to see things calming down and real productive speculation is rising. I would like to see the flood come back, albeit in a severly diminished capacity, this new trilogy should focus more on the new than the old IMHO
Really would like to see the flood return to the trilogy, they were the scariest characters in halo 1-3 and fighting them was by far the most challenging and spooky.
It is true that the flood COULD be there, but we don’t know.
My speculation about the wires - Why would there be wires that long there? If they came from the walls that presumably exploded, then wouldn’t they have disintegrated/been blown to shreds?
Definitely something to think about. Could be flood, could just be random wires.
Who knows? (Other than 343)
Btw, haven’t read the books, plan to ASAP when time provides a chance.

Going with that.

Notice the derelict Forerunner ships that were on the map? The Flood has control of Forerunner ships after all. They obviously landed there during the Forerunner-Flood War.

Do we actually know how long Flood can survive without feeding on a host?
