Halo 4 Flood Mode Detailed October 4, 2012

For the first time ever in a Halo game, the Flood will be playable in multiplayer.  Flood Mode is a new imagining of the invasion gametype, and will pit SPARTAN survivors armed with shotguns and grenades against Flood-infected players armed only with melee attacks.  Like invasion, if a SPARTAN is killed by a Flood-infected player, they will join the Flood, changing their player model and armor effect to more closely match the Flood’s single-player appearance.

The mode will support ten players.  Rounds will last 3:00 or until the final SPARTAN player is killed.

You can read all the details about the gametype, as well as all the new Flood-exclusive multiplayer medals here.

Well, looks like we’ll be fighting the Flood once more.

Halo 4 is coming November 6th, 2012 exclusive to the Xbox 360.  Remember guys, the first episode of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn will be released tomorrow.
