The flood were always an interesting race, well I know halo 4 is not having the flood which was kind of a big disappointment. Heard about the news a while back but they had best bring it back as a cliffhanger or let them return for halo 5 since I want to see the precursors, the forerunners infected by the flood.
Without the flood most levels like in Reach just end up turning into mindless runs. Ps I love the new enemys in Halo 4 personally I just think it be a unusual to have the main series without the flood. I was ok with them not being there in odst, reach because that had its story arc.
The flood has so much potential, would make the infamous spartan ops a bit more interesting. Even if it’s not in the main story it would be fun to see them in their own mode.
Yes I know its been said about a thousand times but once in a while somehow has to mention them.
Ps still saving my money for the halo 4 limited edition.
It would be complete bull if 343 didn’t include the Flood in some way in the next three games. But that is highly unlikely, and I’m betting we haven’t seen the last of them.
While the Flood is a awesome enemy, The problem is that it would make the game have too many enemys. there are Covanant, and the Prometheans. And eventually you will have to battle both at the same time, if the Flood were involved it would make it too hard due to the fact the each enemy needs different tactics to defeat.

I know how you feel since the flood were always a great way to get into a story arc. Halo 4 looks fun but its just dieing for something related to the flood because the new arc was supposed to be an attempt at creating a similar feeling to the originals.
I’m not saying we just throw them in the campaign randomly but they need to be in at some point. The ‘flood’ are what makes the series an interesting franchise.
An example the only game that they weren’t in were odst, reach and those storys weren’t pretty bland to be honest. I loved the franchise but I have to admit the flaw’s sometimes.
Halo 4 may have had a cool looking trailer but we’ll have to wait till november the 6th to tell if it was overhyped or not. Most people I know are hoping it doesn’t pull another ‘Reach’ on us.
Anyway there’s no harm in having a flood mode because mean’s spartans would learn in the holodex centre on how to fight the flood because the flood are a very dangerous reason that nearly took over the galaxy several times, there are still places where the flood will still be.
Also it is VERY unlikly that the Flood are on Requiem. As it’s a Shield World meant for protecting anything inside from the effects of the Halo array. Which are used to kill the Flood. if it was in the only safe haven for the Forerunners then it would be pointless.

The Flood might not have anything to do with this next trilogy. But, could you imagine how disgusting/awesome the Flood would look with the new graphics?

Exactly. I know the chief is awesome but there was no way he could track down every flood. He’s great but unless he clones himself I doubt the flood are going to be gone anytime soon.
Even the forerunners couldn’t get rid of them. It was sort of the reason for the rings but because they saved the flood Halo 1 happened but they made the mistake of allowing all the flood gates to have them then theres the unknown installations rings.
And who is to say the Promethean Knights aren’t infected Forerunners whose consciousnesses was preserved by the Composer from the Forerunner novels? The infection could’ve been delayed and is now returning to plague the minds of the Knights?
