Halo 4 To Feature The Flood, Mechs And More

Posted on Wednesday, September 26 @ 09:42:31 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


Remember the "Infection" multiplayer gametype seen in prior Halo titles? Well it's back in Halo 4, only this time reskinned and rebranded as "Flood". 343i has confirmed that yes, those pesky infectious creatures will be making a return in their upcoming title, but only in this multiplayer mode. The gametype supports a total of ten players, with two starting off as infected while the remaining eight strive to fend of the plague.

But that's not all the Halo-centric news we have for you today, as two new vehicles have been revealed. The first is the Mammoth, which, as the name implies, is a massive troop carrier. The second is a two-legged mech that looks an awful lot like a Metal Gear. Liquid Snake must be so proud.

In addition, 343i's Frank O'Connor has confirmed that the game is officially complete. Hooray! Now please let me play it.

    Too bad no flood in single player. Not only were they the most fun to fight, but they gave you assault rifles and shotguns for drops. Ahh the good old days...

    I'm not one of those people who hated fighting Flood (only in Halo 2, lol). I always found it an enjoyable way to mix things up. That being said, it surprises me that you think they were the most fun to fight. Not what the average Halo fan would say, I imagine.

    I'm glad they're not in the story, but at the same time it would suck if we didn't have the the Promethean faction filling it's place.

    Ever since the first game, all i've wanted to do is fly a pelican drop ship. Closest I got was the avatar-esque falcons in reach. Come now, 343i! Player controlled pelicans! Please

    Also its nice to see the change they made to infection. Makes it a lot more fun and scary to know you'll end up as the flood

    Your comment about the pelican as a flyable vehicle makes me think about how tight lipped 343i has been about this game. I think it's great for at least two reasons.

    A: I want to discover things on my own. Too many developers give you too much info about the games, these days.

    B: I know they want fans to be excited, but this really feels like a new direction for the Halo franchise in many ways. I want to experience it without too much expectation. I don't want them to tell me "this plays exactly like the halo you remember" and then it doesn't, or something along those lines. I don't want to expect one thing and get another, no matter how good it is.

    THIS GAME JUST CONTINUES TO IMPRESS!!!

    ive been hoping they feature flood in the infection game mode for years... finally the time has come & it looks BAD ASS!

    i was worried, when 343 took over but... ever since E3 i have no fear... from what ive seen & read so far. theres no reason to believe this game will be anything short of AMAZING!

    Battlefield 3 is better than Halo 2, 3 and 4 in EVERY WAY.
