ODST was the first Halo game NOT featuring the space zombies known as The Flood, I liked this about the game. So will they return in Halo Reach?

ADDRESSING TIMELINE:
I KNOW MASTER CHIEF DID NOT ENCOUNTER THE FLOOD UNTIL HALO CE WHICH TAKES PLACE AFTER REACH BUT THE SPIRIT OF FIRE ENCOUNTERED THE FLOOD ON HARVEST BEFORE THE BATTLE OF REACH.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

I don't know, I'm torn between two sides here.

The Flood are kind of annoying, not to mention them being made far too easy in Halo 3, and I'm to assume the story is based entirely on Reach - a place where no Flood is.

Then again, Reach is going to be on a brand new engine, with better graphics, AI and all that. I'd like to see the Flood on this new engine, they would probably look scary. And imagine the sort of AI that Bungie could use for them.

i am just tired of the flood somehow being incorporated. I thought they pushed it in halo 2 and then i played halo wars and was like WTF flood? you gotta be kidding me.

The flood make Halo. I hated the flood in every single halo game. I hated them, that is, until they weren't in ODST. Grunts, Brutes, and Elites are all too predictable. The flood spice things up. If it worked with the time line I would put them in, but it obviously doesn't. However, if I did put them in, I wouldn't make them such a predominant enemy after they appear. However much I like them, they still get old when I'm constantly hammered.

If there's flood.....firefight mode only.

ISU Cyclones!

They could involve them somehow... but it wouldn't be in a way we would expect since the main focus is probably gonna be Reach n' all.

If they do go about showing up it would have to be like in a alternate hero's story similar the Arbiter's in Halo 2. But really I just don't see them getting involved either way.

Heck no. Not only would it contradict the story, but it wouldn't be any fun. The Flood has sucked a ever since Halo 2, and in Halo 3 they were even less fun to fight.

If there is a Fire Fight for Reach, yes in there. Maybe make a dramatic cutscene the first time you run into them in Fire Fight, would be kick ass.
