Spartan players appearing as Flood combat forms.
Flood is a War Games gametype in Halo 4.[1] It is the successor of the Infection gametype.[2]

When the survivor is killed by a Flood, they are converted and respawn a Flood. The round ends if a Survivor makes it to 3 minutes or once all players are converted into Flood. Player's initial spawn is based on previous rounds.[2]
Each Flood character has a special armor effect that trails behind them and a first-person screen effect that shows a haunted view from the Flood's perspective.
