We are getting actual dev made maps for infection!
Now, while they are still remixes, this puts a looootttt of worries I had about the Reach update to rest. Everyone remember that supposed Torque remix? That was probably only the infection variant! So I bet we are still going to receive dev made maps made specifically for the Reach update. (:
Also, WE CAN PLACE DEAD BODIES IN FORGE NOW!!!
(THAT WALL THO TOO!)
I can say that right now, my faith has been pretty much been 100% restored with the Memories of Reach update.
PLEASE keep this stream of good news coming 343. I’m counting on you.
I think the infection update is going to be a home run really. And the memory of reach update should be good. Especially if they listen to the community and launch classic firefight alongside WZFF
Yes! That wall looks soooo good. I’m loving all of the detailed pieces we are getting. People will be able to make some really cool, overgrown, jungle temple looking maps. I’m hyped!

The infection update and the Reach update are the same thing man haha, but indeed!
I just hope the infection game-type will be flexible… Letting the zombies start with different guns, pick up guns, Ride in vehicles, Drive, use turrets, Alpha zombie traits, etc. (Haven traits? maybe? I doubt that’d be added though. :P)
I’m hoping, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

I was actually thinking about making a thread about that. Honestly if they just add normal, bare bones infection, I’ll be pretty upset.
I mean, we’ve waited 7 months for infection, hopefully it’s completely overhauled. (:

Considering what they’re doing with Fiesta, makes me a tad worried? even though they admitted to it being just place holders, I hope they don’t do that with infection. :S
I’m tempted to believe that the plasma effect is in fact not an effect at all, but the projectile for a plasma rifle. We know we’re getting a brute plasma rifle, which one could assume would be accompanied by the standard plasma rifle, and it seems like there wouldn’t be a better update to include it in than Memories from Reach.

Forge team is amazing I love the effort they put into these additions!
Like, no default maps in Matchmaking, as in only maps that are designed with Infection in mind in Matchmaking Day1, like Halo 3’s Living Dead playlist? Amazing!
And 12 players! Which is the perfect Infection number; 10 is just a tad bit too small, and 13/14 or more is too much. 12 is the perfect sweet spot, and I’m glad to hear they’re doing just that.
And they’re already looking for community-created Infection maps, which is awesome (I heard that they were, but it’s nice to see the confirmation). I’ve got my fingers crossed that they plan on bringing Last Stand back, because, ignoring the fact it’s my favorite Infection gametype, I’ve got a map already ready for it.
Halo 5’s Infection is starting to sound a bit too good to be true. Like, there’s gotta be a catch or something…
No way was that snowy Torque remix made for Infection alone. It’s way too detailed. I can see them playing with lighting and a bit of layout for Infection, but taking a whole new art direction with new assets just won’t happen.
BTW, can we positively identify the Forge map the body is on? If we can’t, it may be our first look at Forge World. That brick wall is good btw, we NEED non-metallic structure pieces.
