What are your guys thought on the return of the flood?
So far I’ve only played Terminus, not the story, but from what I’ve seen, they did a fantastic job at rebooting the individual units. They look disgusting and it’s fantastic. The vehicle infectiors look like they crawled out of my nightmares. I know it’s been said a million times but it would be great to get a flood leader but idk if the devs love us enough.
I love how gross the Flood look in AtN, truly the stuff of nightmares.
The discustingness of the flood is quite wonderful. And what I would give for a flood leader is quite remarkable. I hope they listen.
I haven’t competed it yet, but it regenerally reverses my prior criticisms of the campaign.There’s actually some missions i consider fun here, and a bit of a challenge even on normal.
My main problem is once again it’s short. SCII expansions may have been pricier, but they were almost 4x the length (for definitely not 4x the price) and boasted plenty of blizzard cinematics, not to mention included revamps and other content.

Same, it feels like the Flood at its current stage could be easily balanced for a leader.

Much agreed. Im kinda sad it wasn’t part of the season pass though. What did you think about that?

Best if this discussion takes place in the existing megathread

True that
Amazing, I’ve already completed on Legendary, it felt so much better than the main campaign. Plus the firefight mode is actually fun, is so much better than the Blitz Firefight mode. Kind of gives me a bit of faith that H6 might be good but Blur needs to keep working on the cutscenes from now on in all Halo games.

it would be AMAZING to see blur cut-scenes in halo 6 (and maybe the flood too)

Hopefully but I hope there consistent since wasn’t overly impressed with H5 since it seemed nowhere near as good as the ones they teased in HCC H2A.
Personally, I like it. I was the biggest hater of the Flood in original trilogy, hated being overwhelmed. But the diversity in units is cool and seeing how they’re stopped is also really cool.

Oh dude, have you seen that egg sack gorilla thing! Jebus, people might say that’s away from the flood’s original design, but I think that its encouraged to go above and beyond with flood if you continue to make them textured disgusting, with tentacles and stems, and fluorescent bubbles now apparently!
I think the changing the flood here was great because it’s most certainly possible for a galaxy wide disease to mutate and metastasize into new forms in order to counteract certain things. A disease that can grow immunity to weather, a monstrous virus that can mutate their cells to become tough and leathery, with a blackish tint!
It’s beautiful, and is the right way to go if not coming across the forerunner argument again.

I think that was called a Spawner or something I can actually see how the Forerunner lost to these things.
I was hoping Infected Decimus would show up.

That would have been dope.
I’m pretty sure these things came from my best nightmares. I actually felt a bit sick looking at the infected Brute in the first Flood cutscene.

that was the best cutscene i’ve seen in halo in a long while if i might add.
