As the Battle on Installation 04 rages on between the Covenant and UNSC forces, an evil so terrible lies silently in slumber. In the pursuit of knowledge and power, the Covenant unleash a force that even they fear. As Containment Facilities across Alpha Halo are breached, one in particular is at the forefront of this. On a lone island in the middle of Installation 04's many seas, a facility unlike the others contains something that will make the Flood thousands of times more formidable to combat. A Gravemind lies dormant deep inside the recesses of this vault. The Battle for Installation 04 is about to reach its pinnacle.
Some of you might remember these guys from a news post right when the mod first appeared on Moddb. Well, here's a WIP picture of them now. You can expect these fellas wherever there's a heavy flood infestation.
The gun functions by spraying super-hot plasma onto targets which slowly vaporises the flesh of enemies. VERY effective against Flood. It is effectively the Covenant's version of the Flamethrower. Or, Plamethrower in this case.
Map used is our dangercanyon test map, and as usual heavy WIP stuff.
Awesome!
Nice!

But Plamethrower sounds so much better :(.
<singing> Kill it with fire! It's your greatest desire! </singing>
They look kinda like mini scarab guns in the picture. I'm sure they are nothing like one, but that white/blue is similar!
just one problem- how will the player survive to kill these suckers when the player is forced to confront them? Cause I'm sure you guys'd probably add a stronger infection form the player can play as to fight these dudes.
The only way for the Player to survive when fighting these fellas is to change the play-style entirely. Less melee/close orientated, more attacking at range.
If you get close to these enemies, you're literally gonna get your arse roasted.
That's what makes them so powerful when fighting versus Flood. They take the Flood advantages of numerical superiority and close-quarters and throw them completely out the window.
