Subject: Idea's of how the flood can make an apperence in reach.

"A LIE is a LIE"


- Truly intelligent and deep Black ops trailer

The flood is my all time favorite halo enemies, something that should make a surprise appearance in reach.

But what do I mean by "surprise appearance" well, I am not talking about adding the flood to the campaign story (we all know it wouldn't fit in), I am talking about Firefight, Skulls, Easter eggs, Forge...ect.

Here are my idea's.

A flood skull - This skull would randomly spawn random flood forms all over the map, effectively making each campaign mission a flood warzone. They can use the Halo 3 flood models and scripts to avoid taking too much time.

Firefight mission's - basically, firefight mission that involve holding off against hordes of flood. Again, using Halo 3's flood models and scripts.

Easter eggs - Making secret rooms with a flood pure form hiding in it, or various posters on walls of the flood.
My idea would be and advertising poster for a Movie, showing a picture of a human getting eaten by an infection form with the title "out break".

Forge - basically, a flood themed map with forgable flood items.

What do you think?

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.

Idea 1: Not likely

Idea 2: Flood Firefight would be awesome.

Idea 3: May happen, but who knows.

Idea 4: I see no reason Flood-based maps can't appear in MP, but the Community never seemed to like Isolation, Cold Storage, OR Backwash.

Oh please, please, Bungie, no Flood. They ruined Halo and didn't seem to fit into it anyways. The Flood was just the zit on Halo that needed to get poped in Halo 3. Did ya' like what I did with the metaphore up there^^?

You kidding, The Flood was a major factor in Halo CE rising to the pedestal it now stands on as one of the most defining games in gaming history!

Anyway, the Flood could not appear as enemies in any form other than Firefight, so don't freak out.

The Flood were never fun to fight. Never. Not once. They scare the crap out of me though when they sneak up on me in the dark. They were well made so kudos to Bungie but they were never fun to fight. The Warthog runs are fun because that's exactly what they are, Warthog runs that don't require fighting hundreds of Flood.

I am a huge fan of halo if u want to add me look up tA TriggaFinga.
I love Reach (and pointing out its faults) I hate boosters, hackers, modders and campers. Dont hate the player or his rank. Hit me up on live if you want to hear the truth.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNN
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOO
absolutely not, not in the story, not in the game(iHATE flood)

-blam!- GTFO OF MY SIGNATURE

The flood might be irritating to fight, but isn't that the point? They are a massive threat to all sentient life in the Galaxy, and getting rid of them is going to be a real -blam!-.

And anyway they are the reason for Halo. Without them there wouldn't be Halos, and without the Halos there wouldn't be the Covenant.

Dude i almost stopped playing the 1st halo until i got to the flood level man. Thats one of the better halo stories in my opinion.

  • 10.23.2009 11:18 PM PDT

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

i opnly enjoyed halo 2 flood.

Sadly i dont think the flood will be in it, because its most likely going to be all on earth and the flood didnt get to earth until halo 3. Plus they weren't released until the first halo anyways. Thats what sucks about prequels sometimes

There can't be ANY flood in the campaign or I wont buy it that would be totally inconsistent with the halo story line but I would be fine with a flood firefight/horde level and flood in multi player that would be pretty cool.

  • 10.24.2009 2:47 AM PDT

Were it so easy.

EH, flood might be cool, maybe not though.

Flood? Really???!?!

The Flood has always been boring and tedious----Halo would do we'll to forget about the flood.

  • 10.24.2009 3:07 AM PDT

First the paranoia I had about health packs returning has me worried then you bring this up? Yet another reason I won't be pre-ordering the game...

No flood in Reach please :(

  • 10.24.2009 3:11 AM PDT

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Wow, those of you saying you won't buy the game if Flood are in it are idiots...

Who knows? Though it's highly unlikely we'll see any Flood in campaign, we'll almost certainly see them in Reach's iteration of Firefight (if included). I personally loved the Flood-based maps.

I always loved fighting the Flood, it's the time where you ditch your smaller fire-arms and pick up the big guns. It's great getting the feel of how much of a threat they are to you, even though I hated the mission Cortana.

Nobody can say that the Flood don't fit into the game, reason being that there would be no game without the Flood. They were the reason the Halo Rings were created, the reason for almost every event that happens in the games.

I said that the flood can be added in other ways. NOT in the story, as it would not fit in. Please read my thread before making statements like that.

Well, The main reason everyone hated Isolation wasn't because of the flood theme, it was because of the horrible level design.
Cold storage, again, not the flood theme, it was the weapon placements.

Personally, I love Backwash and hate Isolation. I have nothing against Cold Storage, it's just that it's not one of my favorites.

Flood would be great for firefight, but would not go along with story line of campaign mode for reach.

For all of you naysayers that don't like the flood, if it wasn't for the flood the halo universe wouldn't exist.
