First of all, I would like to say that I’m super stoked for the weapons update to come out. But by the time most of you read this, it will probably be out. Anyway, here’s what I would like to discuss.
In the flood game mode, as most of you know, the flood can have armor abilities, which is cool IMO, but I honestly think that them having thrusters makes it… Well… Really hard for the humans to survive. This may have already been addressed (I really haven’t played flood in a long time) but if it hasn’t, will it?
I don’t really want them to take the core flood game mode out of matchmaking, but add a new one in the playlist possibly so that the flood still have three armor ability options, just not thrusters as one of them. That would be freaking amazing.
Does anybody else feel this way?
The only problem I have with thrusters is that from a spartan pov, flood often move in goofy directions or warp due to lag. Usually I don’t die from run-of-the-mill players in flood going head on for me. More like, being swarmed by them or being confused by lag interfering with movement/weapon fire.
I think if flood didn’t have thrusters, everybody would camo camp and shoot any flood nearby.
Though, yes, I do think spartans lose too often… honestly it’s only because nobody in flood knows how to work together and because some people you’re matched up with are… well… bad players. Everybody splits up and camo camps in a corner until they inevitably get last man standing and by then everyone else has been picked off by being terrible, lag, or being swarmed.
Flood is still fun as it is, to me at least. I wouldn’t mind seeing a gametype variant or two for the sake of variety and flavor, though.
I hate it. Makes it not worth playing in my opinion. Almost everyone thinks the flood need a nerf and yet nothing has been done so I’ve given up hoping. Halo 4 flood mode is trash because of the thruster. Bulltrue means jack -Yoink- because you still die. In past games a bulltrue meant a surviving a sword lunge.
I already have a topic on a
flood update
Hopefully this helps.
Combination of the thrusters just looking like teleporting because of lag and the deaths by bulltrues it just makes it lame. Humans almost never win now.
Got “clever” once on complex.
One of the flood players was horrible. The other was AFK.
Yeah someone tell me the flood aren’t OP.
Keep the thrusters in but make the magnum a one shot kill.
My biggest problem with the thrust is when they come at you, you shoot them, you get the kill but they still get you.
A shotgun should have the force to knock the flood back so that you’re still left standing.
I like the idea of thrust it just has quirks. Removing the shields like in the old days would be nice too.
Oh and while we’re on the subject of Flood would it be a good idea if Spartans could now pick up ammo? Picking up swords isn’t a problem anymore and right now the Spartans could use the advantage.

Yes i hate that when you kill them first as they are charging they kill you/when you play as flood and die then get a kill from the grave - that is annoying
