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

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

I think everyone here forgets that it is flood and not infection.
Flood are different from zombies.
Well that is still a problem.

"I know! Lets take the idea of infection, remove most of the customization, and then turn them into flood!"

It's as if you don't even try to like the original thing and instead op to customize it to death.

Lacks customization and is therefor bad.

I just want them to bring back the old infection....but keep the new flood skins. And remove those goddamn thrusters.

They call me graland.

The worst thing is all of the glitches. I'm sick of seeing both Flood and survivors spawning as regular Spartans wearing their personal colours. It's really annoying to be Flood, and see a regular Spartan holding nothing and show up as an enemy, only to kill him and then get betrayal booted.

There's also a rare glitch that causes a Flood to spawn with guns. I remember it happened to me one time and I infected some guys with a DMR.

  • 12.08.2012 6:50 AM PDT

Its okay but it has so much more potential; its not like the flood has a small pool of abilities and forms in the lore.

Also people actually miss one shot zombies? What are you brain dead? Actually after getting shot in the head all those times don't answer that.

  • 12.08.2012 6:56 AM PDT

The Flood mode is fine. I don't take into consideration lack of customization since customizing the game mode is changing the game mode and is therefore no longer the same game mode. So default, Flood itself is a lot of fun for me. Doubly so because now the Flood has a god damn chance without getting pistol sniped from across the map.

I change shapes just to hide in this place but im still im still an animal...

Zombies should be faster and one shot. Was playing adrift, a zombie and i was at opposite ends of a corridor. I started shooting, head shot, head shot, head shot, head shot, head shot, all hit, blood coming out and everything, then it got me.

Anyone else seen the glitch where there are normal coloured spartans roaming around with no weapon?
They show up as enemies with red sights, killed one, betrayal, boot. Friendly fire should be gone for good.

Holy -blam!- they have to make this a real game mode.

Way better than Reach's terrible infection.

Zombies actually stand a chance now.

I hate it. No customization whatsoever, plus it out all the fun of classic Infection.

Personally, I think it's sloppy. VERY laggy too opposed to the other game types.
What happened to the ONE HIT HEAD SHOT kill?


Its not laggy, its just your connection.
And now its 3 shot kill, sorry but the flood aren't super weak anymore. They have a fighting chance now.



It does have one funny glitch. I spawned one time with an AR, I wanted to use it but out of fear of "OMZ HACKERZ" I jumped off the cliff instead.

Thruster pack ruins it.

NON FACET NOBIS CALCITRARE VESTRUM PERNǢUM

Thruster Packs need to be taken out of the game-type, IMO. Way to easy for the flood to close distance.

I dont play it, just not fun. Ya, you had the 1sk in Reach's, but even if you died a ton of times as a zombie it was made up for all the kills you get the other round(s).

It had a lot of potential, but 343 Industries screwed it up too much. The things that really made me dislike like Flood was the fact that the Flood have shields and armor abilities.

That happened to me the first game. But i spawned without the Flood "sword" and the camera was fixed.

All I hear in this thread are people moaning about how they can't boost multikills and killstreaks anymore. Infected and Survivors now have the same chances. Deal with it.

I only agree that the official matches should be longer and private matches need some customization. Many gametypes are dead.

The most dangerous gunslinger in the west.

-Humans have no radar/very small range
-No Promethean Vision
-Flood Thruster Pack speed/distance is reduced.
-Replace Hardlight Shield with anything, maybe AutoSentry?

I would agree with that "flood has equal chances now" stuff but theres still a big problem. When the flood kill someone they turn them into another flood. working on this 1:1 ratio means the games usually dont last longer than one or two minutes at the most and thats stretching it. I miss the games where I could get one shotted, and if I remember correctly, the zombies usually won anyway.

Less -blam!- custom options.We can't even make some of those awesome infection maps anymore

  • 12.08.2012 9:03 AM PDT

Flood's not bad. The matchmaking version is. Just make a few forge maps, tweak the options, and it's fun to play.

"When you say mean things, your weenie will shrink."

-Marshall Mathers, 2004

Total, total, TOTAL, bull-blam!-. Its terrible.


Hate on me all you want, but its my opinion. The entire game suffers from CoD like lag, and if the entire lobby doesnt have absolute PERFECT connection, then the flood are guaranteed 6 or 7 from-the-grave kills with a goddamn sword.

How could 343 even think of doing this with the customization?
You cant even chage the survivors colour from a-lime-took-a--blam!- green to anything else! THERE WAS NO REASON TO DO THAT.
No one even asked for this, what do you call it, "Flood mode anyway! I wont even start on all the mini games that are ruined now.

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


This.

- If Flood were to lose AA's, then the compromise would have to be humans lose radar.

- I remember in Reach customs our party would often swap shotguns for AR's. It didn't ruin gameplay for humans, but made playing Flood/Infected much more viable. (Not currently possible with options)

- Flood based MAPS and GAMETYPES (not the -blam!- default ones) would greatly benefit Flood, more so if they were from respected community forgers instead of that 10 year old 343 hired.
