Why ‘The Flood’ won’t work as a playable faction
When people think of the various different races in the Halo story, The Flood no doubt springs to mind, and when expansions to the Halo Wars game is considered, people seem to suggest implementing The Flood as a third set of Leaders.
For every person who suggests this there’s a person rejecting it, so I thought i’d write about why I don’t think it would work.
For a start, The Flood were more of a ‘by-species’ in the Halo storyline, the war was between the humans and the Covenant essentially, The Flood were just this inconvenient force which threatened both sides of the war. There’s no personality with The Flood, they’re just parasites and the game would have no character if you could play as them.
