According to the search feature the word 'Flood' has not been posted in this forum before, so here I go.

As far as I can tell, the Firefight experience will be separate from the storyline. Johnson being present is one example.

Do you think we can expect to see the Flood make an appearance?
What about firefight maps in locations other than Earth? (Halo's, Covenant cities)

I hate the Flood so I hope not :P

Go Rams and Missouri!

I hope so, but it probably will not happen. I also expect most maps to take place on Earth, maybe not all in New Mombasa, though (where is there room to drive a Warthog in the city).

Stuffz....

would be sweet but the flood ins't exactly hard to kill...they're not smart, they don't act as a team, they just rush at you.

and in ODST people will be way more tactical so it wouldn't be much of a challenge IMO

I can't specifically link to the post, but I'm pretty sure Bungie said either in a weekly update or a forum post that all firefight maps are directly based off of a campaign map. Which would negate both those ideas.

I'm pretty sure that the flood weren't on Earth at the time of this game

  • 06.19.2009 5:46 PM PDT

If you want to know the best tips for playing halo Reach.
Look no further than Winter Contingency

yeah a new covenant map not like snowbound or assembly but in a covenant city where the normal covenant would live like high charity or the city in unyielding hierophant from the novel First Strike

Neither was Johnson.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

From what I can remember, Halo games are only rated M because of the flood. This game is rated M. That leads me to think the flood will be in firefight.

not right away maybe in future firefight maps (theory)

  • 06.19.2009 5:49 PM PDT

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

DAMN I hope Flood is in Firefight. If every wave 5 there are Chieftans somehow incorporated, I hope every set 3 the Flood are somehow incorporated. I hope so. As for the maps, I hope they stay on Earth, as they probably will.

sup

I hope so I love the flood :P

I've theorized before about other off-Earth locations appearing in Firefight.

I think it would be wonderful to have familiar areas from the entire Halo trilogy to fight in. If there were Flood, it would be extra specially awesome if they infected your ODSTs' dead bodies and came after you with those seeing as we all know that Johnson can be infected (if you've managed to keep him alive in the level Halo, in Halo 3, you'll know what I mean).
.
Which reminds me, someone mentioned that urk was apparently hinting at new enemies to fight. Could we possibly be seeing the inclusion of the previously cut Sentinel types from Halo 3? Such as the Guardian, , or the Enforcer..or even the Super Sentinel?

Maybe the Flood Juggernaut might make a showing :D

Would be awesome.

I just think it would be cool to see a literal flood of Infection Forms swarming toward you...

It would also be awesome if Elites dropped down in pods, Halo 2 style. (I doubt we'll see that)
The same thing for the Flood, dropping down like in the final level of Halo 3.

@ SonicJohn - It would be awesome to fight Sentinels! I can't see why they wouldn't include every enemy in the game, and then some.

i hope not

i have always hated the flood, i always skip flood levels and cringe every time i must do a flood level on legendary (i beat every halo game on legendary)

a sentinel level would be fun though

maybe a hornet level in firefight?, fight sentinels in the sky.

or they could make ground sentinel types, like robotic crabs =D

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

Nuh i hate the flood. They are so annoying D: but they are easy to kill at times. I like taking out brutes! :)

Nuh well you know how when it says M it has the reason why it's M. It says Violence and Coarse Language. Even if the flood werent there it's still violent. And i'm pretty sure the flood dont swear XD

Ha.

What he means is that cause Johnson's unrealistic in that part of the game, maybe more stuff will be.

Althought it's a good theory, and I like it. I just don't think they'd completly delete Flood from the game. And for Covenant maps and so on, I also doubt that. (Unless the storyline leads you somewhere like that.)

I do like your theory, but can I just say that Johnson is more of a joke. I can't remember which game it reminds me off, but a game where you get a character that makes no sense at all, and is just there for fun.

Rawr Im a dino!

I dont LOVE the flood but it would be cool to fight them but no infection forms. Or if they could come after a ton of covenants dead bodies are on the ground. Kinda like spring cleaning but with flood.

Sentinals would be cool to fight. or play with or as

Firefight is separate from the campaign, so why couldn't they do stuff differently?
They don't have to stick to the storyline in multiplayer.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

I can't seem to find the update, but in one of them it was stated that the Flood will not make any appearance in Halo 3: ODST. Firefight included.
