In addition to the news on the gold release, the developer of Halo 4 posted some interesting details on its new Flood mode. According to 343 Industries, this one is "the spiritual successor to Infection, a fan-favorite game type from Halo 3 and Reach". The Flood mode ofd Halo 4 is a round-based, ten-player game: at the beginning of each round, two players spawn as Flood forms and eight players spawn as "Survivors".

Survivors are standard Spartans equipped with shotguns and magnums, while Flood move very quickly and can only use a melee attack. When a Survivor gets killed by a Flood, the Survivor will convert and respawn as a Flood. The round ends if a Survivor makes it to 3:00 or if all players are converted to Flood.

There are three screenshots of the new Halo 4's Flood mode.
