What if the flood was in Warzone or like Infection (If it ever comes out)?
It would probably be more or less like normal Warzone
If the flood doesn’t make some sort of comeback it would be a shame. You’ll hear most fans mention how “unfair” or “annoying” the flood are (because i guess saving the universe is supposed to be a breeze). But the flood are supposed to be annoying and overwhelming! It’s the freakin’ FLOOD! I’ll admit they are due for an upgrade, i.e. more variants and different style attacks. But i know 343 could do an amazing job bringing them back and making them a fair, enjoyable, and still overwhelming enemy to face. It would be great if they add it to the next story or even just multiplayer.
They’re not coming back for Halo 5. People thought they would for Reach and 4 as DLC but they didnt.
343i didnt develop Flood models and AI behaviors for them, I imagined it would be torturous to add them to the coding
And the effort that would be put into that could be put into something more meaningful, like, better maps. (Eventually)
It wouldn’t make a bit of sense for them to come back.
Personally I think they’ll be back in 6. Read more only if you’ve beaten the game.
I think that’s why Cortana goes to the Halo at the end of the game. She knows she needs a human to activate the Halos, so I don’t think her plan is to use the Halos to coerce cooperation, but if she can find Flood spores to unleash, she can use them to eliminate any planet that doesn’t want to live by her rules.
