AFAIK, The Flood was awoken once again 20 years after the events of Halo Wars, so I guess it won't even appear...

But I believe there is still a good chance of the Flood being playable. The humans are all stranded on this one planet, and clearly don't make it back to Earth. The Covenant already know about the Flood, so while from a story stand point, it's not that believable to have the Flood.. It does at least make sense, and gives the developers an excuse to have a third playable faction.

Also, yeah, did anyone really expect them not to be playable? That wouldn't make any sense. I had just assumed it.

Seriously. Is anyone actually surprised by this? That would by like the Russians not being playable in RA3.
And Im gonna say no on the flood. This is supposed to take place a long time before halo 1 isnt it?

Plus, for now, just play balance the two main factions before you do a third.

With that already been stated by bungie and MS and Ensamble. Then WHY would the flood be available?

If they can stick Halos in multiplayer, why not Flood?

I think the planet Harvest is in a system called Harvest. Also, after the UNSC loses contact with Harvest they send a scout ship. The Covies destroy it, and humanity launched the largest fleet ever assembled to retake Harvest. Lead by Cole.
Thats what I remember from the Halo timeline on H.B.O anyways.
So the spirit of fire, is probably one of the ships in Coles fleet. I think anyways.

1. Bungie has hinted (see H.B.O) the Covenant had previous encounters with the Flood before finding Halo.
There was nothing special about the rings that kept the flood alive there. Atleast, that we know of. Hence the Flood studying facility on Threshold in Halo 2. So its quite possible some Flood survived some where that would permit there presence. And if not, they could write it in. :P
