I want the floods back for Halo 5!!! And I would for sure buy the game even though I dislike current MM
The campaign would be worth it. But I just hope that they don’t make them as easy and stupid as Halo 3, but more between Halo 1 and Halo 2.

I just read about installation 07, seems to be the perfect place for a campaign

EXACTLY. Especially considering the Flood is a Promethean creation, what better way for them to test humanity then release their favorite pet on us?
The Flood is not a Promethean creation… The Forerunners were wiped out by the Flood because they could not handle the outbreaks. Since they decided to wage war on the ancient humans without finding out the real intent of the Humans “attacks,” the Forerunners lost the one chance they had to save the galaxy and preserve their existence.
OT: Of course the Flood is coming back. It will most likely be the Humans final test to assume the mantle, to succeed where the Forerunners failed.
God I do hope so. It would be nice if 343i (assuming they bring the flood back in Halo 5/6) made the flood much more dark and fearsome than they were in the original 3 Halo titles.

He’s right. The Flood wasn’t a Promethean creation.
PROMETHEAN.
I believe you meant to say Precursor at any rate. In any case, Silentium states that the Flood are “degraded” Precursors, so they aren’t really Precursor “creations”.
With the Didact loose (unconfirmed death) and the Janus Key it may be very possible that some of those Forerunner structures that are quarantined are rich with dormant Flood right around the corner.
I find it difficult to believe that they can be completely eradicated since its indicated that a single spore can kill a planet. Considering that the forerunners have kept specimens in storage for study, it will only take one of them to escape to cause the universe havoc.

They’ll be back. They are infested in multiple places still. Maybe even parts of earth still from when they crash landed in 3. Also, I don’t believe the Ark was 100% destroyed, as well as the other Halo installations having them in study chambers etc.
If the Flood doesn’t return, I’d be surprised. Instillation 07 has several Graveminds on it! Perfect setting, and excellent way to introduce the Precursors as Flood are just another form of Precursor, albeit a tainted one.
The conclusion of the Forerunner Saga shows that there is a definite chance of the Flood returning.
The Precursors created/became the Flood (somewhat accidental, but they liked the results) and are now using this new form to cause chaos and misery, and ultimately… unity (peicing together things from Primordium: Unity could be the use of the Flood to create more Graveminds/Precursors). The Forerunners’ aggression surprised the Precursors, and now they vowed to make sure no creation rises to challenge them again.
Humanity is their last major creation. We need to take the Mantle. The Didact was the example of the Flood’s corruption and madness, making such a noble and powerful figure into a homicidal maniac.

I agree, although I liked the Flood, they always seemed very goofy to me, I hope they horrify them, make them much harder, make them terrifying, like they should be, as read on the books.
