Return of the Flood (in campaign)

I think it would be great if the Flood made an appearance! And just like in previous Halos where you had the Flood fighting Covenant you could now have Prometheans and Flood fighting! How cool would that be!

Awesome. Would be straight awesome. Fighting three enemies at once? Complete chaos in the campaign. Awsomeness.

oh it’d be amazing, I’ve been suggesting this for a while now, but it may noy fit into the story, and 343 won’t take the time to fit it in

And who’s to say they haven’t always been planning Flood?

I didn’t want flood in H4 but I miss the little buggers :stuck_out_tongue:

Not sure if I like the new design of the flood though…

Those are infected Spartans, I’m sure regular Flood would be different.

With better graphics they should bring the Flood back to the Glory days of Halo CE where they were actually scary the first time you met them. Some good suspense does wonders in a game.

343 created the flood virus… Oh god.

Lets hope they don’t go the way of Umbrella Corp.

I hope they have better matchups this time.

Pair of Hunters vs. pair of Battlewagons vs. pair of Flood Juggernaut Tank Forms would be sick. Especially if they all received significant AI improvement.

This is what needs to happen first and foremost before they bring back the Flood, Forerunners/Prometheans, Covenant and any other outrageous sci-fi enemy they decide to think up. Then add some good plot, Make them look crazy realistic and add weapons that make fighting these things unique and enjoyable, And !Boom! you got a recipe for “Halo” gold.

Personally i don’t like flood.
I enjoyed playing reach and halo 4 without flood.

But if they decide to bring them back I would like if 343 make them more serious and scarier.

I’m not a huge fan of what the flood in multiplayer look like, but I doubt they would look like that in Campaign. I really want them back!

It would actually be Hunters & Battlewagons vs. Flood Tank Forms

I say swap out tank forms in that battle and put this. If I knew that this guy was in the next halo I would instantly buy.

Exactly, thank you. Sure you can give enemies bigger guns or expand their classes. But if their AI is dumb, they will be as easy as an Elite Minor.

Bungie took that approach since H2, though the Elite AI wasn’t necessarily dumb in that game.

Not necessarily. 343i haven’t completely doomed Covies vs. Prometheans opportunity (if they still can’t implement it in Halo 5, then that’s just lousy :/). If the Librarian returns (or another Forerunner), surely she can regain control of some Prometheans.

Unless you’re suggesting better prioritization, in which 2 warring factions take on a bigger threat.

Done!

Now they have a reason to team up assuming they were enemies. If they were allies, now they have a reason to stick together. xD

Mother of God… Skippy likes this!

Only bring the flood back if they bring back the proper flood back, not the stupid h4 version.

Those are just Spartan models

Fixed.

While H3 innovated by adding real time infecting, raising dead non-Flood corpses, and incorporating Flood transformation, their AI was atrocious and the Pure Forms were pathetic (Tank Forms in particular) and highly annoying (I personally found Stalkers to be way worse than Ranged Forms).
