I’ve always had a big hope that Bungie or 343 would create a side story Halo game where you played as a Marine, Police Officer, or ODST in a city or on a planet invaded by the flood. I think a game like this could make a great horror, survival, shooter game that Halo fans will love. It could include a safe zone or multiple safe houses where the player has to go out to find equipment, weapons, survivors, supplies, e.t.c. The game could also have a main mission for the player including: Finding and extracting all the remaining survivors in the location, blowing up a reactor to wipe out the flood (even know we’ve done this in previous Halo games), or it could just be a never ending survival type halo game. I feel like a game like this would be great if it was like a Halo Left 4 Dead where there are a certain number of players with a mission against multiple hordes of the different types of Flood forms we’ve seen in previous Halo games. I don’t know if this game will ever become real, but I would certainly pay any price for a Halo Title like this one.
343 should just halt all progress on halo 6 and start on this immediately

IKR!! I can wait for Halo 6 because I want them to take their time on it and make it perfect, but mean while they could have another team start working on this.

Well I can wait on halo6 because I doubt it’ll be any better than halo5 and story wise I just don’t see how 343 will dig themselves out of the hole they made. I think making something like this suits them. They don’t seem to know what to do with the main story arc, I think they are better off doing spin-offs.
But also, I would love a new game to play as an ODST ( or marine) with an interesting story and no spartan ability bs. And what better way to bring back the flood, than the way you described? I honestly think it’s a brilliant idea.
This. is. Halo!
Yeah, They should make a flood survival.

To me this sounds like the sort of game that should be licensed out to another developer who specializes in the survival-genre of game, so 343 can provide the oversight to make sure the lore is appropriate for a Halo game, but the gameplay mechanics will benefit from a developer who’s been doing this for a while. Doing this would also meant that we get the Flood-survival game with little-to-no delay on the release of Halo 6.
A flood survival horror game I’m in

Like creative assembly did with alien isolation?

I’m not familiar with Alien Isolation, so maybe? Halo Wars was outsourced to Ensenble Studios, and that went well, and I believe the same would apply to a survival-horror game if the right developer is picked.
I don’t think an entire game needs to be dedicated to this concept, rather, a return of Firefight with mode-specific maps; ones that gradually unlock as the waves progress, similar to Left 4 Dead as you mentioned, would be a solid enough addition and a good replacement for the generally criticised Warzone game-mode.
The benefit I see to this compared to a solely Flood-centered survival mode, is that it would be adaptable, meaning that Banished, Covenant, Sentinels, (Prometheans…I guess…) and the Flood could be utilised, and variety makes for replayability.
I absolutely agree that the Flood should be given it’s own horde mode, I just think that it’d be a good opportunity to expand on a prior idea rather than throwing it all out the window…again.

Yeah I think it is probably too much for a full game unless it was really just a small game for like $10-$25

Creative assembly made halo wars 2 and alien isolation…isolation sets the tone for survival horror,bUT idk how you would make a pure halo game based on survival horror

“Pure” Halo game? How are you defining “pure”? If the lore is accurate/well written, the visuals appropriate, and the gameplay mechanics solid for the genre of game it is, I don’t see any problem.

I meant idk if it could work because it wouldn’t have the traditional mission system that a most every game does,it would be more resident evil or isolation where it would be certain save points
That sounds really cool. I would be perfectly happy with a Left 4 Dead inspired game in a Halo setting.
Maybe it could be a game mode in the next Halo game.
I don’t know… I never liked the idea of open-world based games where you are in constant peril of death by zombie.
I would definitely buy it to see if it was any good. It sounds fun.
Instead of making it standalone, making it a game mode would definitely secure the sureness of Halo 6 being a amazing game, 343 needs to pull out everything for this one. The chances of this happening are practically impossible though, since 343 never listens to fans and give us what we want
