Halo 4 multiplayer and campaign detailed: Play as the Flood, open structure

Game is looking amazing!

Halo 4 is a stunning looking game. Don’t believe us? Check out our latest screenshot gallery here. There’s more, we also have a lot of information on the single-player and multiplayer modes of the game. It sounds exciting!

But first, 343 Industries, the developers of the game, have mentioned that the game will have an open structure.

“There are definitely design tenets that we hold dear – things that we think are central to the Halo experience – and one of those is empowerment of player choice, making sure that players are presented challenges, but not really told specifically ‘this is the way that you have to approach this,” Halo 4 creative director Josh Holmes told Joystiq.

“You’re given a set of tools and sort of set free to overcome this obstacle any way you choose, and that – for me – is at the core of what makes Halo’s gameplay great.”

You will also be able to play as Flood and you can check out the details below.

But first, the most important thing is the new Infection gametype in Halo 4, now called “Flood”. Yeah, you read right. Why this gametype is wearing this name ? Because infected players will play as a flood combat form during those games ! As you can see in these images below, Floods are back in a all new different form, especially made for the multiplayer. 12 players, 10 as survivors, 2 as Alpha Zombies. Infected players have deadly claws for melee damage and enhanced vision, but actualy, we don’t know if they will play as a flood, like the previous Halo Campaigns (in terme of mouvement, speed and jump). That was the big thing.

Also, about the Campaign, there is not a lot of thing you didn’t know, maybe one more thing, a new vehicle you will be able to use. Called Mantis, this is a Mech that Spartan John-117 will use to fight the Prometheans and Covenants forces. Hope you will have fun with Halo 4 !
