I remember when Halo 3 rumors were being spread before it was released and there was talk about infection being one of the gametypes. I had always assumed that of course the zombies would be the flood, and if you got infected you would turn into a flood character. I was dissapointed when I played my first infection game and there were no flood zombies.

If they did it for Halo: Reach it would be really cool, and would make the infection gametypes more fun to play. They would need to make a spartan form of the flood and a flood type HUD. I kind of doubt they will do this just because there time would be better spent fixing bugs and such, but I hope that it is in the game none the less.

How do you guys feel about this idea?

I don't really know how it would play out. Maybe its just better to have a flood zombie armor perm

Please elaborate a little bit more. What do you mean you don't know how it would play out? How is a zombie armor "perm" better?

I'm not being sarcastic. I just want to understand your point of view better.

Ok sorry I should have explained:
Playing as flood: Does that mean you want seriously low accuracy and be stupidly easy to kill.
OR do you just want to look like flood.

If so there should there be an armor perm with features such as: Broken armor, cracked visors and flood spores.

What I am talking about is just looking like the flood when you are infected. Instead of the sword you would most likely have a whip growing out of your arm that functions the same way even having a similar lunge.

Your floody flesh would probably be growing out of your armor and your appendages would be disfigured and mutated. So functionality wise you would be a spartan with a sword just like in H3, but you would look just like a flood infected spartan.

I am guessing it would play out like while you are making an infection gametype were it says zombie appeance flood would just be an option

Who am I?

mah twitter

It would be cool if you could use flood characters anywhere in matchmaking, not just in infection games.

  • 10.10.2009 7:02 AM PDT

yes because it would actualy be like you were infected instead of just changing the color of you character
