IGN Flood Gameplay

Ta-da! I don’t know how old it is, all I know is that it was in my Twitter and not on the IGN homepage, so I figured I’d post it here.

Pretty much the only thing you can see is that the Shotgun has a longer range than Reach (or so it appears), Magnum isn’t a 1-shot (which we knew), and that the bull-yoink bulltrue deaths are back (See what I did there? :D). If you watch (don’t have the exact time but it’s relatively early on), there’s one part where he gets a kill but is infected, so unless the shotgun blast Ghosted through the zombie (which would be worse than these bs infections), it’s Reach all over again.

Interesting to see you can melee while in thruster pack.

I miss the old gurgling sounds and horrifying screams, now the Flood just sound like crazed dogs…

They were talking, so the game audio was turned down. Also, remember how crappy all the weapons sound online? So I would hardly consider this representational of the final game.

God I hate IGN and their damn video player, but they always get the exclusive access stuff.

I don’t know I can hear the high pitched barks pretty well. Hopefully the Flood will sound more like the Flood when the game comes out.

Cool.

I wonder how customizable it is? I hope they can wield weapons. I want Omega Journey again and all of the other crazy gametypes from Halo 3.

I’m sure they will be able to, it would be downright ridiculous if 343 decided to limit the community that way.

I really want to see this “Flood-ssassination”
