Flood haven't been done right since H:CE, and that is mainly because they were introduced as a new enemy completely unexpectedly. The first time playing through 343 guilty spark at age 10, was the scariest gaming experience I've ever had. Flood has frankly bored me in H2/3. [/quote]This is a very good point but 343 had a really serious and dark style with H4, this could make their take on The Flood take the same path. Think of Dead Space, the Necromorphs are basically the same thing but are far more gruesome and scary. I'm not suggesting Halo go all Dead Space but they could definitely make The Flood a bit more menacing.[/quote]If there's any direction I'd like the Flood to take, it's the one from [url=http://images.wikia.com/halo/es/images/c/c4/LastVoyage-small.jpg][b]The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor[/b][/url]. Stranger and harder to grasp, might be a better direction, rather than the trendy [i]darker[/i], if they are to change at all. [b]EDIT:[/b] It would be a true [i]next-gen[/i] challenge if 343i decided to make the Flood something else than just [i]units[/i]; make it into a [i]living environment[/i] that expanded and retracted dynamically, and occasionelly spat out regular enemies. The Flood equivalent of a vehicle would be a mass of meat and limbs, similar to the one described in Primordium, and if it got a hold of a Warthog or something it would infest it and sprout legs and run after you. Anyone else feel that if the Flood is to change, it should be in a really creative way?[/quote] I like it. I've always wanted to see the Flood shown how they always should have been shown. There was always a seperation between the enemy Flood and the Flood "architecture." I'd want to see the Flood for what they really are: a single, gigantic eldritch abomination straight out R'lyeh, where there is no line between the creatures rushing you, and the very place you're standing in. I want them to be a presence more than just a different faction.
