Hey guys my name is Michael and as of now me and a team of guys are starting to work on a F2P Halo game called The Flood.

The game will be taking place during the first encounter of the flood on the first Halo ring.
It will feature 4 ODST squad members trying to fight their way off the ring as the flood awaken.
The game will be single player, multi-player, co-op, and much more.

I want it to be a 4 player co-op game that you and your friends will embark on and learn how to play as a team and learn many secrets of the flood.

I am working in UE4 now, thank god this engine is truly amazing.
Multi-player is being worked on at the moment, I am working on the 3D models and maps right now.

Planned Gamemodes:
Firefight - Floodfight deciding on names
Slayer classic 4v4
Weekly missions - Learn more about that soon
BTB - I plan on having 12v12 not 8v8
Custom Games - Infection, Slayer, CTF, king of the Hill and much more

This game will be community friendly, I won't be accepting modifications for the game but community maps made in UE4, I plan on having vote poles for the map and maybe be featured in the game

I want to make this game possible, mainly because of I love the flood, they were my favorite enemy in the Halo series and they are rarely seen or mentioned in the newer titles and I plan to bring them back!
The Flood will mainly resemble Halo 1 and Halo 3.
I plan on having the multi-player a lot like Halo 3.

This topic I will post any updates soon here.

I have not given much information as of right now but please ask any questions on the game here in this topic and I will try to answer all of them.

Update 1:
Also for a note later today I will upload some concept art of weapons I am designing, as of right now I can't use the UE4 engine due to a failed GPU. So I am waiting for the GTX 960 4GB to come out in a week or so order it and get some in game videos ready :)

So my Friend asked me if I could help with the concept art and I am a horrible drawer honestly. I went through looking for ideas for some of the weapons and found an old Halo AR drawing that gave me a few ideas to tinker with.
So yes that isn't a AR but looks like it, I'm still trying to fit that idea in with the game, it is a 20 round High Power single shot rifle.

The other is a simple SMG I rushed through, I'm not sure if I'm going with a silent SMG or a Regular SMG, maybe both :D
Don't even ask what is on the bottom, he asked me to come up with a pistol variant :/ (again bad drawer since he is out sick he asked me to do some of the stuff today.

I'm gonna get the 960s soon so when I do expect a little gameplay up, it will most likely show simple weapon animations but it's still something :)

Halo L4D? sounds pretty cool. Hope this isn't just another one of those idea threads and something actually comes out of this.

Trust me, I have been working for awhile on this but on the Unity engine so I have a lot of assets ready to be used.
Me and my team have been working hard when we were on the unity engine but now that UE4 is free we are going all out on it.

You shouldn't make a thread if you have nothing to show.

I'll have stuff to show in about a week once I polish some of my models off

I imagine since you said working on 3D models that the assets here will be custom?
Very interested in seeing what you and your friends can do by the way!

Then you should have waited another week.

This is a concept that I've entertained before, and it seems like something that would be pretty fun if executed properly. Halo has a decent sandbox of weapons and Flood forms that could be used for something similar to Left 4 Dead's playstyle.

Scope is too large - this won't happen.

Well yes of course, I wouldn't go rip assets from another Halo game, I am actually designing a single shot AR Variant, kinda like the DMR but looks like the AR, but a High powered rifle. Still working out the concept for it but trying to fit it in the actual game.

As long as he draws his inspiration from the legendary unflappable VKMT, nothing will ever go wrong.

cool.

I love how once someone mentions a good idea most people immediately start bashing them with the "It's not going to happen" Hammer of wrath. Give them a chance to show off the work they have done, and who knows, you might actually enjoy it. I for one would love to see this be made.

It's the idea of somebody that has no idea how much work is actually involved in making a game. I've been reading threads like this since HPC's release and to date not a single one has managed to deliver.

cool

coolio

I....never saw anything awesome from vkmt. Perhaps I didn't pay attention enough.

Release chernobyl map ak-12 plse.
