If the Flood does return, I hope their gameplay is different then the way they originally were. I know they won’t be back in Halo 4, but I think it would be kind of nice to see them using unit cohesion and what-not.
I was hoping that when they ditched the flood they would place the main enemy of halo 4 as something that looks fun and enjoyable to A: shoot at, B: get shot by C: look at. Its a bit disappointing to shoot at annoying neon orange light robots that you you can’t tell you’re shooting down until they puff into nothingness in a puff of neon orange smoke.
Also, why havn’t they put flood skins on zombies in infection gametypes already. That and Flood survival mode are crying out to be implemented by themselves.
The covenant look well implemented though! Lots of fun AR/BR/DMRing Covies in Halo 4!

Cause you changed the name dident you?!

WHY FRANKIE WHY do you got to break my heart… I have been waiting to fight them forever, fully realized in their HD graphic awesomeness… Halo wars was a tease with all of tier cut scenes, what I would give to fight a Juggernaut flood (those are cannon right?), pure forms and all! resumes crying self to sleep at night
!!- side not I am really loving all of the lore with forerunner weapons interactions with the flood- REALLY good job!!

He lives!! XD

Or they could stay outside of the gameplay, while remaining an integral part of the plot, through perhaps something like the cinematics and backstory.
People, it was from 3 months ago. It’s not like he’s gonna magically respond now and answer your question.
But i remember somewhere someone at 343 said the enemy is related to the flood so Precursors.
There might be flood in H5 or H6 but in H4 its understandable considering you already have a whole other enemy class being introduced
The Flood have to be in at least at the end of Halo 4, in Halo 5 and or 6.
I remember saying to myself at the end of Halo CE back in the days " I hope I’ll never have to fight those things again!!!" I found a horde of forumers on the old Bungie forums that were totally agreeing on that. But after Halo 2 release and so forth. The flood grew on me.
Not only are they one MAJOR part of the halo universe. But I love to hate them and I love the dreaded threat they are against all other factions. I love the morbid, grose nature they are made up of, the chill, the disater they can make out of sentinent life.
And Frankies statement fall kinda short… The new screenshots of flood infected spartans from one of the war games. Kinda foreshadow their apperance in one of the new Halo trilogy games Campaign I think.
He could just put a white lie to us also. Would be great! Here we think we wont be fighting Flood in Halo 4 but then… BANG! Infestation time!
Its sad to hear that “Oh the flood are ruining the campaign! Waaah!” Used to say that to myself too. I gotta agree they could have made the mood, tha atmosphere better in past games, but ruining? BS!
Also the new apperance on at least human spartan combat forms are kinda what I expected. They look strong and aint having their head hung backwards as the lesser, frailer human forms from the past. It can also be of gameplay reasons.
I doubt flood will be in Halo 4, but since bungie stated that 5 was supposed to be darker (can’t remember where I read that, but I did), I’m definitely expecting some brutal flood in Halo 5.
> You won’t be fighting Flood in Halo 4.
Actually you will. Flood mode FTW! 
Why the Necro-Posting guys?
