Flood (gametype)

Flood is the Halo 4 successor to the Infection gametype featured in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach. It is the first time in the entire series that a player is able to play as a member of the Flood.
==Rules==
To win, the survivors must survive for the specified amount of time while the Flood must infect the survivors. Survivors are equipped with a Shotgun and Magnum by default while the Flood will use their claw to melee the enemy. Both the survivors and the Flood have their own sets of loadouts to choose from. Each loadout is differentiated by an Armor Ability by default.Halo Waypoint – The Halo Bulletin: 10/03/12

*Compared to Spartans, Flood move faster (however they cannot sprint), react differently to bullets, and have specially-tuned armor abilities.
*The Flood have a unique character model for both first and third-person.
*A special mist effect trails behind Flood characters.
*A first-person screen effect shows the haunted view of a Flood.

*The Flood appear to be wearing the bodysuits of the GEN II Mjolnir armor, but not the armor itself.
