No flood in the campaign, you say?
Good. The flood always annoyed me. Their levels were fucking TERRible.

@ Zombie Orwell
A lot of people would cite the floods appearance in Halo CE as a series highlight, but ya I never liked them.
As a Bungie fanboy I was doubtful that 343 would be able to pull off Halo 4. But besides all the CODish perks etc. I am starting to get pumped.

YES! The Flood have always been the worst part about Halo's campaign. So glad I wasted $100 on the collector's edition a few months ago.
I don't mind fighting the flood, but they shouldn't be in the campaign because that shit's meant to be over. It's bad enough that Halo 4 will have purple after all.
This is a good inclusion though, an improvement on the infection gametype.

I'm not sure why they kept putting those annoying levels in the game with the Flood, I guess it was going to sell no matter what so they could, and it did suck up a ton of time to make the game appear longer.
I spent most of my time playing playing Reach in the Infection variants. The fact players now look like an actual infected instead of just a puke green reskin is awesome.
Phew, I was worried this was a campaign shot. After Halo 1 these guys dramatically overstayed their welcome.
I really liked the Flood levels (excluding the library level in CE... lol). They kinda reminded me of L4D. They were a good change of pace for the game, forcing a different kind of strategy. That and the Gravemind was a really awesome character, he's gonna be sorely missed from the campaign imo...
I'm relieved to hear that they won't be in the campaign. Stages with the Flood were the absolute worst parts of the series for me.
As long they're only a multiplayer skin.
The flood is fucking dumb and always result in the worst levels.

But in all seriousness Halo 4 just keeps looking better and better. I am wondering if for the "flood" mode they infected players attack with the crab type claw like a sword to infect players. Either way the character models look sweet.
The campaign Flood always turned Halo into a sci-fi zombie shooter, which was fine, but I'm glad they're not in the campaign because I just spent the last trilogy trying to obliterate them.
Also in Halo CE, the best way to fight the Flood was to shoot off their arms... sounds like another, more recent game...

343 What have you done to Halo? Who are these nimrods? They look NOTHING like the flood. I want to like this game but it's getting harder and harder.
I thought that looked familiar, although not from Halo.

@MIMPtacular - Everything I'm seeing on this game makes it look better and better. You're a tough person to please!
It just seems to move further away from the days of old, which isn't always a bad thing. To me it's the subtle changes that are causing the Halo feel to be lost. The way that MC keeps looking more and more like he's wearing a Crysis Nanosuit. The way that Cortana looks like a young emo sex slave. It's difficult to express something like a feeling in something as small as a comments section, but I'm sure I'm not alone.
Also another big thing for me are the sounds, both ambient and fx are sounding less like Halo and more like COD. If you've spent a large portion of your life playing these games you notice the smaller things.

For some reason my first reaction to the picture was to say "STARS".
Also I'd say the only time I really disliked the Flood to a point it really hurt the game for me was in Halo 3. Heck with CE:Aniversery it almost became fun to run into Flood levels after getting the Headband Skull.
Still would've liked and actual bossfight with the Gravemind before they dissapeared from campain but not so much as in to put Flood levels in Halo 4.

I don't know what bimp is moaning about, everything that I've seen of Halo 4's visual design shows marked improvement over the earlier games. In my opinion Halo needed some redesign, especially Master Chief. That ridiculous baseball cap helmet-visor, while distinctive, has always looked silly, which is probably why none of the Spartans in Reach had anything like it. This new look for the Flood infected-Spartans, is a great design choice for the "Infected" gametype. And, surely, this constant fear that every game is becoming CoD is simply hyperbolic and asinine. Every console FPS, including CoD, is building on a foundation that began with Halo. Frankly, I think the whiners need to get over themselves.
Those things look Fucking terrifying. The new game type also looks like an interesting take on Infected. You can chalk me up as another person who is surprisingly enthusiastic, 343 look like they both know what they're doing, and how to actually do it. Still a bit cautious, but certainly intrigued.
as a long time non-halo fan i have to say this game keeps getting my attention. not sure whether that's a good thing or not. in my eyes the series always had that 13 year old fantasy uber space jocks feel to it, and while that's a barrier to entry for me, i appreciate that there are plenty of HALO fans that like the series the way it is...
Can someone please photoshop that image to feature Jim, Holmes, and Hamza's faces? PLEASE!!!!
Misleading ass headline. It's not *THE* Flood, it's just Zombies from Halo 3/Reach, rebranded as "Flood".
Anyway. The Flood levels in Halo CE, minus The Library, are some of the better segments from a FPS last gen. Those who bitch and moan about them picked up the series far to late to actually appreciate the dynamic they brought to the series. Bungie fucked it all up with the later installments. Do yourself a favor and play Halo: Anniversary. Thank me later.
