I know am gonna get flamed. I Also know the Storyline wise its impossible to add the flood in reach. But i feel bungies trying to forget about the flood just because of the hate from the fans (who probably only played halo 3). In my oppinion i believe that the flood is just as much as an Enemy as an elite. They were in the First game halfway through so there a classic Enemy and i love the flood.

People say it would be a strech and yes it would be to much of a stretch but i'd just like to remind everyone of halo 2. Remember how the flood appeared in 2? a big strech as well.

Off topic. All am saying is every game they made the flood Cooler. The floods my Favorite Enemy in halo. everyone remember Guilty Spark the first level you see them. in my oppinion best halo level ever.

Bottom line. I feel the way bungies making halo games now there leaving the flood behind and thats incredibly depressing. Sad Face :(.

I am glad that there won't be flood in Reach. Halo CE's storyline was legendary mainly thanks to such a plot twist that a threat even greater than the covenant lived on this seemingly mundane space object.

Once that suprise was used up though, the flood became less and less frightening.

Halo CE: Oh my gosh the flood are killing everything run like hell!
Halo 2: Oh look, the flood. Again. Its killing time.
Halo 3: Big ship crashes, let me guess? Flood?

Halo games should not be constructed with a "Stuff Happens" Plot Twist: "Flood Appears" "More Stuff Happens" Conclusion type setup every time.

Dosent anyone agree with me?. The flood just add somthing to halo that i missed in ODST. Also i was excastic every time they showed up. They give a presence. There an unstopable killing Machine that wont stop a never ending Wave of enemies.

Cheer up, maybe they will listen to those who want a flood based infection mode.

This time i want a full battle against the Covenant, the flood has no business in this fight.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I do not mind the Flood. They are another thing to shoot at and mix up the gameplay with their intense "charge" tactics.

I highly doubt they are in Reach, though. They shouldn't be...

I would not mind seeing flood in a firefight only sort of scene, as feel they would be an interesting enemy to fight. Outside of that though, I really do not think it would work.

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

no it's not from the fans that have only played h3 it's from the fans that have played h1, h2, and h3 where the flood has become stale as a week old saltine.

also they aren't moving away from the flood they are showing us the rest of the halo universe. they didn't choose halo reach so they could get away from the flood. they choose halo reach because they wanted to tell a fantastic story.

The flood were awesome man! Their appearance in halo ce was a great twist. I also like how in halo 3 you can see your enemies being taken over my the infection forms. I would like to see them in Reach but I don't think that'll make any sense...

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

They should include Flood for Firefight.

Only if they can move about in a fashion that doesn't involve running in a beeline or jumping in a beeline. I mean, those pure forms could climb on walls, all the other flood should be able to as well, would make things more interesting, and they should come from all directions.
