      I agree and I do think this season is the best one yet but... I gotta say, I think it's silly that people keep bringing up "The Flood" as being back in the game. It's just some customization, nothing more. When I first saw the thumbnail for the presentation of season 5 I though maybe just maybe it had something to do with that Flood mode that got leaked long ago. Or maybe an overhaul to Infection or just something gameplay related, not just some ugly cosmetics lol. But overall I still think S5 is a huge W

    Wasn't it lore that upon a Flood infected Spartan, All UNSC ships are to fire their MAC Gun upon the infected Spartan? Not only MAC Guns but also Nukes. They are to fire everything they have in their aresenal to eliminate the infected Spartan, to prevent UNSC secrets from being shared to the Hivemind and elimination of possibly the most dangerous Flood to exist. What would the lore implication and story be considering season 5 has the flood infected Spartans? Of course they can just say its for Halloween and thats it so none of that is canon but if it is Canon, the story implications are scary

      Personally I don't think I'll go back unless they rework the campaign or add a single player DLC. The story felt flat and unfinished, it was unsatisfying to play after the first few hours, and the map just felt empty.
      Yes the multiplayer is getting better now, but it still feels like it's missing something compared to past Halo's.
      If 343i wants to draw back the casual players and try to get some more new blood in the multiplayer, they'll need to have something other than cosmetics and battle passes.
      We were promised 10 years of infinite but taking almost 2 years to get to this point makes me feel cheated.

    About the orange boils... I think it would stick perfectly if they were a dark green tone instead of a bright orange, since I remember the flood in CE (especially the infection forms and carrier forms) emitting a weak green light similar to those boils (similar to the plants in 343 guilty spark), so I don't think they're that far appart from bungie's aesthetic (just made them green and not so brightly please, otherwise they look more like the lambent from gears 3).

    I don’t think the flood store armors are a problem cuz there’s also flood armors in the pass which look great and even come with less orange boils
    MY problem with the aesthetic is that it doesn’t go enough into body horror. You take these same designs but slide the head down behind the body to make room for a bulbous flood growth, and shove the hand limply aside like an unwanted obstruction in the way of the flood arm tendrils that hold the weapons instead. THATS the flood I want to see.
    S5’s aesthetic for flood looks more like the flood is growing ON the spartan rather than transforming them from the inside, but the growths themselves look rad

  • @silasstryder

    Fun custom campaign idea:
    The Tower
    First floors map description "A splinter group from the covenant discovered a forerunner tower on an otherwise desolate planet. The behemoth would've been visible from orbit, but the tower was hidden underground until this group activated it and saw in awe as it rose higher and higher into the sky seemingly never-endingly until one day it finally stopped and the entrance opened. It is said the splinter group is still climbing the tower to this day passionately curious to uncover its secrets at the very top and discover the reason such a structure was ever made. Just to use it against us, you must stop them."
    The first map you have to fight your way into the tower that is as tall as will fit in the map creator, and at very high up made narrow to a point so from the viewpoint of the ground it just appears to be jutting into the sky forever, and as many floors chock full of enemies, vehicles, weapons, and varying level design as it will allow. Then you can make "The Tower (floors 30-40)" Or whatever and have consecutive maps where you start in the tower on the floor just above where you ended on the last map. Someone could in theory make it go on as long as they want since you just start a new map once the forge limit is reached. Enemies get harder, stronger weapons become available, and more complexity is added to the level design as you go higher up, they don't need to be confined office building floors either they could be super tall floors that allow for flying vehicles sometimes even.
    Map descriptions moving forward could slowly reveal piece by piece the purpose of the tower from various objectives completed on the previous maps allowing our spartan to know that. The forger could even write their own lore on the splinter group and how they found the tower to begin with.

Communications are knocked out, and it’s a gritty and dark race to reestablish comms to contact chief and the weapon to cleanse the outbreak. When they can’t be reached (for some reason), and the flood are closing in on the three surviving ODSTs, Jerome drops in to save them and tells them that the Spirit of Fire heard their distress call. The SoF crew hold back the flood, while the ODSTS and a small detachment of Spartans journey across the ring to reach the remaining crew of the Infinity and Chief.

      I was hoping that 343 could do some sort of thing like destiny does with its raids cause you can certainly make a “raid” in halo to continue the story somehow and put lots of lore tidbits. My idea was making it into an operation, but instead of all the rewards being in the battle pass, half of them are unlocked through achievements, and the other half through a 10 tier battle pass. Maybe some achievements would just be very simple like get a full clear of this raid/dungeon/excursion activity, to even something like complete it without any deaths on your team

      The problem of the boils is on a design level.
      First, it's simply generic at this point, like he said every zombie/infection game is doing that glowing bulbs at this point, no idea why they chose to just make something that looks like every other game when they already have a unique-looking design for the flood since Halo 3.
      Then, it's just missing the point of the design of the flood, it's body horror, this looks like vines and fruits, the orange is way too bright to fit with the theme.
      And it takes the space of actual gory details, which is a core part of flood design on human-sized creatures, the flood at its core being body-horror, and this here is far from it for the most part.
