If it was from a marine perspective then yes, we have been talking about this idea since the story.

The Flood was at it's peak when it had biomass forms the size of Forerunner Capital ships back when they fought the Forerunner, we only have see a few forms, but they have been far worse before, Halo Legends display some of them. Even Halo wars shows some unseen forms, and even cut content from the Halo games, if all of that were in one single game with a creepy setting and great graphics, I'd crap my pants.

No a completely different game would be needed. Who is to say that the UNSC didn't find some remote forerunner outpost at the end or after the war that had flood?


I think a post war setting might be the best.

could be, the flood werent completely finished at the end of halo 3, they're still samples of the other rings

Don't all Rings contain flood? There are still 5 rings with Flood to be uncovered.

Rings,research stations, possible overrun stations, chance that 05 is still infected,etc.

I have to disagree. I mean, I can see where you're coming from, but the thing that made the Flood that little bit scarier, was that none of the marines had ever heard of it. Remember, this was right after Halo CE, before MC got back to Earth.
I do, however, agree that a new story would be needed for a game. Perhaps a similar story set around Halo CE's time.

You do understand not every single UNSC personnel knows about the flood right? The UNSC is NEVER going to release that info unless the flood do something too noticeable or a cure is found.


The game could be a few years after the war on a (hate to say this) mining vessel in the new human space.

I think it would be a cool thing to kind of have a story of:

1.) The Security on the Mona Lisa
2.) The Red Horse's Team

Both perspectives would be in the DLC/Arcade Title.

I think it was stated it was bombed but ether way it wouldn't matter. The ELites wouldn't have the ships to "glass" the entire ring and again the hologram says its fine.

The Razor.

For the honour of the Mirratord.

This isn't a bad idea, but it should be based on a new story. We don't need to retread "The Mona Lisa" storyline for a third time (short story, motion comic and this).

Who: Try Civilian point of view.

When: Just after truth went through the portal to the ark and flood comes in halo 3

Where: town of voi

why: i'm thinking civilian didn't make evacuation from coves in time, so took cover until the storm blew over, but got caught in the Flood infection and you need to fight your way out.

How: using normal items (lead pipe, 2 by 4s and kitchen knifes, whatever) and UNSC weapons, make to a rumored marine outpost and leave the city



Well whadaya think?

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I've been saying this for awhile now. I would love to have a game or DLC for the Mona Lisa story. However, it may be just me, but the Flood was never scary in the games. Although, in the Mona Lisa, I think they were described very well and actually scary. If they make the Flood like they described in Mona Lisa, it'd make it even better.

Agreed.
Although I would say the main inspiration for Mona Lisa would be the Alien movies and not Dead Space (however turning into a very similar set up as that game....which also is based heavily on Alien(s)).

But I do have concerns about how a game like that would work within the series. Its VERY different from what we know, even more than the difference between ODST and the rest of the games in terms of setting etc.

Maybe, and I'm going to say something bold here, its best if 343i would consider such a concept if they were to make a game (or episodic game series) featuring short (1-2 level) "stories", each with a different setting/story.
More or less like a Evolutions in gameshape.
I personally think the concept of Mona Lisa could work for a game, but not for a long one. A short game in a bigger offering of short games would be a more interesting, original and better idea I think.
