During an interview, someone asked if the Flood will make an appearance, Xbox group product manager Ryan Crosby wouldn't say. That got me thinking. Why did bungie name crater/night and realized there must be another crater map called crater/flood.

How do you get 'Crater/Flood' from 'Crater/Night'? Seems the logical half of it would be 'Crater/Day'.

No resemblance, there's most probably going to be Crater (Day).

  • 07.29.2009 10:58 AM PDT

I actually figured Night was just a setting....

Like playing forge on Blackout. Then later playing Slayer on Blackout...

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

We have night maps and day maps so we can use the VISR. The VISR almost makes you blind and blurry in the day so they made night maps of the day ones so you can use the VISR perfectly.

Not true.

VISR lights up the area around you *sorta* momentarily so it can see the lines and then Outline them for definition.

After about 4 seconds the light goes away and you can see again.

It does this on both Firefight day maps and Night maps.

Okay, you lost me at "someone"...

Seriously? Do you think Bungie lied? I thought they did for a good while but then I realized that they didn't and never have. ARE YOU BRAIN DEAD?!

And where the hell did you get "Crater (Flood)" from? Wouldn't it be... Oh, I dunno... "Crater (DAY)" ?!

No idea where the Update is but it's highly unlikely that Flood will be present in ODST.

The Flood first appeared on Earth during Halo 3's time period (Mission 5: Floodgate). Would make sense as it would fit the storyline, so no Flood, boys.

You DO know Firefight is non-cannon right?

That's how Sgt.Johnson can be there.

I think I solved the crater night mystery


no, you didnt

  • 07.29.2009 11:25 AM PDT

well i think Crate night because theres a Day and Night version of all the maps.

i don't think the flood will be in it by default i think they could be on flood DLC map

  • 07.29.2009 11:25 AM PDT

ooh, quote overload. No need to post so many quotes in a row. Just quote the last relevant post, no need to have a quote off.

Anyway, back on topic.
There will only be covenant in ODST.

however...I have heard a rumour that bungie will release flood firefight missions as a DLC after the games release if firefight it popular. But it was only a rumour so don't count on it.

Umm... yes, for a long period of time. Which is why I wanted Elites to be in Firefight so bad but they sadly aren't even with the fact that Firefight is noncanon.

I've never heard a Firefight map named "Crater (Flood)."

After looking at the list of Firefight maps on Halopedia, it only says Security Zone, Crater (Night), Warthog Firefight Map, and Chasm Ten as Firefight maps.

If you can bring me a source that confirms a Flood-based Firefight map, then I'll believe. But it's unlikely, even if it's noncanon, then why wouldn't your characters be infected by Infection Forms? There's no immunity to Flood. Even if you're immune to Infection Forms, the concept would be just plain stupid.

It could work actually, it would introduce a new skill, shooting infection forms off your squad mate without hitting the ODST in question.

Flood firefight would probably be combat form heavy though, with only a few infection forms.

to be honest i have never seen a ODST combat flood form
