Subject: Halo 5: Flood Firefight!

"When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-schmanzy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon—and we had to share the rock!"

-Sgt. Johnson

Wouldn't it be awesome if in Halo 5 there was something like Firefight except you fight FLOOD? I think it would work well if you are in a little bunker or something in the middle of the map. So that flood can come at you from all sides. And you have to defend a generator or something from the flood so that players will actually have to defend something other than their lives.

Damn, that's a cold-ass honky.

Halo 4 has been out for what, two weeks? And we're already brainstorming on what 5 should have?

Honestly, this is a good cover up for all the idiots who won't know its a cover up .

Isn't that what we were asking for in CEA?

Remember what came of that?

People have been saying it since ODST FF, Its a good Idea and should definitely be added in one of the games.

I mean that people were asking for the Flood in a Firefight map, but instead we got the piece of -blam!- known as Installation 04.

Because as we all know, the Flood introduction room and general area would never work as a Firefight map.

How about this:

You're an ODST on a mission to evacuate civilians in a Flood outbreak. You drop in from orbit, find the people at a random location (this would be in a large city like New Mombasa). You lead them to a civilian evacuation ship (like in Reach) and they fly away with you inside.

You can watch (while flying away) the city get leveled to stop/slow the outbreak. Or you can stay and fight the flood off until the nuke hits and you go down with the Flood? Mission is complete when nuke goes off

Badass right?
RIGHT?!??!

He means the firefight map, not the entire Ring.

that is similar to one of the modes I wnted to be in Halo 4, but mine is different, and in my opinion much better than just having them in firefight. Basically it's a new mode I'd call something like "War". In it you'd be able to turn flood, covenant, prometheans, UNSC, Human Rebels (actual reason for Spartans' original invention, Forerunner, and possibly make it more specific like the 3rd ODST group or the elites, and all those teams (2-8) basically fight in a massive-scale war, that you either have a scoring system, destroy the base or last man standing victory conditions, up to 16 human players who are evenly distributed throughout the teams if on matchmaking, or at host's discretion in custom games. (and the players would actually look like whatever they were although I don't think they'd have a customization for every single race, like how in Halo3 you can choose exactly what you look like for elites AND spartans) also if you were flood I'm not sure if you'd be one of the pure forms, have to infect someone, or spawn when an infection form infects someone) It'd be like the greatest mode ever, especially if you could control your troops and/or be able to summon strustures, vehicles, and weapons to aid your team.

We should be able to edit custom battles. Wouldn't that be cool?

To add several ODSTs or something to a multiplayer map, and then pit them against some Covenant or something, and then go out there and fight with the ODSTs.
