Re: No Flood in Halo 4
Wait a sec. It's my understanding that there were other Halo rings. Installation 04 carried Flood for study, so who's to say none of the others did?
In Halo 2, when stopping the Halo firing sequence just before firing, they were able to put all of the rings in a standby state so that only the Ark would be able to activate them. When Master Chief went to the Ark and blew it up, he only destroyed the Ark itself and the 04 replacement. But I don't remember hearing that any of the other rings were destroyed, only that they couldn't be fired now.
If 04 had Flood specimens aboard, why wouldn't any of the other rings? Not to mention, the Halo rings aren't the only Forerunner stations, there are also the shield worlds (like Onyx). So even if there aren't any Flood on the other rings, who's to say there aren't any on other Forerunner worlds? The Flood did invade the Forerunner worlds during their war, so it's entirely possible they could still be out there.
I like the Flood. The central story of the series kinda revolves around them. Granted, if there is a "new trilogy" being made, they could create a new overwhelming enemy. But I don't think Halo 4's lack of Flood is due to any such literary foresight, but rather just lazy writing. Of course, we'll just have to wait and see.

Re: No Flood in Halo 4
Dude, it would be kind of awesome if they made a zombie type of map playlist where you just survive against the flood.
That would probably freak me out if I played it :006:
