Description
I really like the redesign 343 did for the Flood in Halo 4, especially the way the spartan helmet/armour was integrated into the parasite's form. I took a couple of liberties with the design, particularly with the jaws as I wanted to depict my flood fellow mid snarl instead of with that rigor mortis grin the ingame model has.The Flood are copyright (c) Bungie/343 Studios

You know everytime I look at this picture the Flood reminds me of Attack on Titan. o.o

I think it's a game that has many halo fans divided (especially the multiplayer), but I very much enjoy it. Also, thanks

Yeah I kind of stopped playing when I just kept getting my ass handed to me online.

I do admire the redesign of the futuristic-esque cousins of garden-variety zombies, but I see no trace of an infection form in sigh controlling the corpse. Perhaps a new adaptation to extend survivabilty compared to previous iterations with the actual infection form sticking out the chest cavity, rendering the killing of combat forms an easy task?

yeah, there isn't really a whole lot linking them back to the old designs which were much more squishy compared to the new armoured look. Even the original concept sketches by 343 don't really use any of the original design's visual cues. I guess that the change could be explained as either a next step in the flood's mutation or due to the flood form combining with the spartan armour. I will say though, that I much prefer the new carapaced look to the old.

A large factor in the new Flood's appearance is that it's a multiplayer model. Also, a Flood Infection Form is not required to infect a host... it's just faster.

yeah both are very valid points.

Totally agree with you. Hopefully, 343i provides a canonical reason as to why the flood combat forms' appearance changed.
