I tried it a few times and I just don’t like Infection. I gave it another try just to play on the community created maps, but it just completely sucks.
I did like the maps though. I’ve been using forge the past two weeks and I got three great maps for Arena games like Strongholds, CtF, Assault, and Slayer. (You can bookmark my maps here)
I would like to see community playlists for Arena.
What do you think? Do you like Infection? Would you like to see community playlists?
Playing solo infection in my experience isn’t nearly as enjoyable as having at least one buddy with you for the ride. You can joke, work together, and face the issue of realizing that your friend’s become one of the undead and now has their eyes set on you and you alone. Just thought I’d leave my feedback for you but do give bringing a friend or five to play with you and enjoy the game type because it is pretty enjoyable most of the time.
I just played it solo. Usually when I team up with my company we rank in Arena or play Warzone. I’ll try it with friends next time.
I really like Firefight though. I hope they bring that back next update.
They should also bring Warezone Turbo back for the weekend. Maybe a Warzone Assault Turbo too.
Infection is okay but it is biased towards the humans too much. Too many power weapons on the map. The infected also need the ability to sprint.
I actually enjoy playing Infection, but not to any great extent. I might play a few games here and there, and then do something else. One of the things about Infection that gets to me is the balance between Humans, and Zombies. Either too much is given to one side making it a boring game for the zombies who constantly have to run out and get killed by humans until one of them gets lucky, or an inevitable loss to the humans who really just get to see how long they last, which while understandable gets boring after a while.
I mean, standard Infection has always seen the zombies getting mowed down in huge numbers again and again and again, those who might want to be saving their K/D ratio a bit would hate that and instead just hide…which breaks the immersion for those playing human, but also lowers the effectiveness of the other zombie players. Then an alpha would quit and that in the past has forced a human to respawn as a zombie… not sure if that happens in H5, but there you go.
Then you have the games that give greater weighting to zombies. A refreshing change of pace…for about 3 or 4 games, then it gets old. It can be kind of fun seeing how long you hold out, knowing that your chances of success are very limited. Still after a time it gets old to know that no matter what you do, you can’t win…
Balance is what Infection needs to be great, maybe greater variety. Rather than just huddling together in one corner of the map and just waiting to run out of bullets.
Haven’t played. Not interested either
I’ve never understood why infection was such a big deal. I especially hated it in Halo 4 where there were so many game type variants that I never knew which one was which or how anything was supposed to work. There was even a version where you couldn’t jump because why not go out of your way to mess with my head? Keep it. Keep it all.
When your infected just zoom lunge. it is so overpowered
I enjoyed it the most in halo 3 and reach, 4 and 5 just dont feel the same.
It’s ok if you do not like infection. Not every game mode is made for everyone. Some people don’t like Griffball, some don’t like Team Arena, FFA. It’s all your personal flavor.
