Subject: Halo 4's Flood mode. Hmmm. :\

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

So... what do you guys even think of Halo 4's Flood mode?
Personally, I think it's sloppy. VERY laggy too opposed to the other game types.
What happened to the ONE HIT HEAD SHOT kill?
I couldn't get myself to play it more than 1 game.

What would make it better?

Make a thread saying you will counter any argument against armor lock...

Then respond with Adapt.

Lacks customization and is therefore bad.

plebeians can't use magnums

OT: It's a huge improvement over Reach's infection. Save the overpowered, camping humans for custom games.

  • 12.07.2012 11:14 PM PDT

Go Go Happy Time!

It ruined infection.

The infected can't be stealthy due to them squealing and making stupid sounds. Plus when you're infected, your game's vision is messed up around the borders of the screen and it also adds a crappy looking filter. Infected can't use guns either. What I want is Halo 3's infection with the breakable objects in forge.

  • 12.07.2012 11:16 PM PDT

I know my ways. So just stay back.

Take away the shields from the flood and I will be happy.

You serious? The worst part of Reach's infection was the instant-headshot deaths. It made being an infected no fun at all. The problem is giving the zombies evade or thruster pack, thruster pack especially is extremely annoying in tandem with the sword since zombies can melee in mid dash and go clear through shots. It simply makes the infected too powerful and doesn't promote strategy.

Halo 2/3 Infection forever.

I think that AAs should be taken. Sprint is a keeper though. Or maybe it doesn't have to be.

Welcome.

Lol no one likes having the tables turned with flood being more powerful.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

You just hated on Reach's infection because it had instant headshot deaths but Halo 2 and 3 had the same thing and you glorify it. Are you for real?

  • 12.07.2012 11:32 PM PDT

You better close this sig when your done.

Instant headshot zombies need to come back. Zombies should have sprint and not thruster pack.

Yah i was just about to say that.

Reach's Infection mode was ok. I thought it was better than Halo 2's BUT NOT HALO 3's.

My DeviantArt Gallery - For my Photoshop stuff, go have a look!

Humans should have no radar, Flood should have advanced radar. As it stands a human can crouch walk around and stalk the flood. Especially on Abandon and Solace.

Then again, I like the 3sk, I just wish the Flood could sprint instead of thruster, easier for both sides I'd imagine.


If I wanted 1-hit kill Flood, I'd want it to be on Infection made maps. As it stands there's a lot of long sightlines on Haven, Adrift, and especially Complex, they'd need some smaller maps.

Definitely agree. There needs to be balance. Humans and Flood both can't have radar. Flood shouldn't even have AAs other than "sprint/fast walk" like in the prior games.

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

Yeah, because being picked off from a distance with a single shot was fun... /:

I'm missremembering it since I mostly played custom games where the zomibies did have shields, but reflecting on it I can say it was better in those games simply because the pistols were inaccurate, zombies couldn't be sniped with them like the Reach and 4 pistols. Not to mention how slow the halo 3 pistol fired. Having no shields when the humans have scoped sub-rifles with perfect first-shot accuracy is just too much, zombies need to have mobility.

The zombie's current health would be fine if not for the rediculous thruster ability.

The human element always mucks things up.

Promethean visions ruins the entire point of the game.

THIS! Yah totally forgot to add this one.
Seriously! Flood for sure shouldn't have it cuz it wouldn't make sense. Humans shouldn't either. Where'd all the CLASSIC go from Halo??

  • 12.08.2012 12:03 AM PDT

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

* make the magnum at least a 2 head shot kill weapon.
* nerf the flood thruster pack range and/or take away the ability to attack while using it.
* give the last man standing some kind of extra advantage, faster movement, maybe give him the ability to take a few hits before he goes down eh? I dont think its very fair that you gotta fend of the alphas and your infected survivors buddies without some kinda ACTUAL way to survive till the end of the round.
