Now, as we’ve all probably heard, Infection is coming. I do have 2 issues with it.
-
Infected should always have a fixed colour, but why did they have to give players a fixed colour again. At least it’s not Lime Green/Electric Yellow but still. Infection was cool in one way to me because I could show off my own spartan without my colours changing (I hate FFA so this was a little extra to me).
-
I was really hoping for H2A Infection, where the really cool Flood models would be used, but you could switch the feature on and off in customs.
I know people would be annoyed to see “another person complaining” but I just wanted to express MY grievances with the gametype. These are also very MINOR (though the Flood idea was super cool to me in Halo 4), but I’m wondering if other people have the same problem. I know I’ll definitely be playing infection anyways. It’s really cool that they gave the Infected a Green Infected Prophet’s Bane/default energy sword though. Also, It’s very possible they may still have the flood, and just wanted to show off 5 of the new armors and didn’t want the reaction of “HALO 4’S -Yoink- FLOOD MODE AGAIN!?”
I’m really excited for this update, all things considered.
Maybe we will have that, they just haven’t shown it yet?
It’s probably going to be custom colors. They only showed one non-infected after all, and light blue is a very odd choice for a fixed color.
EDIT: Never mind, they showed 3 non infected, with the last two sharing colors. However, if you pause at the correct moment to see the death of the first non infected, you can see that their hand is yellow-orange, meaning that it’s probably custom colors.
I agree that it would be nice to have a game mode other than FFA where I could display my spartan’s custom color pattern. However, I personally like the look of 343i’s infection - it really reminds me of the days when it was not a standard game type in matchmaking but rather only found in custom games.
Yeah, I’m really hoping a Flood model is in the gametype. Like, have it as an enable/disable option like in H2A. The Flood models in H4/H2A were awesome; They added to atmosphere greatly and made Infection that much more unique of a gametype (plus, it was something that the community was asking Bungie for forever and 343i gave it to us). My hopes are up that a Flood model is in though because there was a Flood noise in the teaser.
As for the forced colors thing, I doubt that’ll be a thing again. Hivemind/Last Stand showed that 343i wasn’t going to do that again.
I was also very disappointed that there is not infected Spartans in the infection playlist like H2A was with game play not how Halo 4 game play was. I assumed since it took them an extra 6 months since launch that they were working on Flood infected Spartans and make it look really awesome.
You guys do know that it was a 30 sec teaser which literally only tells us that we are getting infection and noble armors right? How about we wait till we actually know what’s in it before complaining about what’s not in it.

I am still excited for infection but from the 30 second teaser I noticed it was not an infected Spartan which is one of the things a I liked that 343 added in the halo series. Not as much a complaint just a little disappointed in that one thing I saw
Damn. I mean, everybody was so hyped up bout infected, saying its the best manditory gametype and as soon as it’s announced they complain because the infected are a different colour.

Yeah which doesn’t mean it wont have that… As I stated it was just as much a teaser for infection as it was for the armors shown.

But It also means that it will have it either. Its not a big deal just a small personal issue I might have with infection

Yet the OP mentioned it was a MINOR complaint that simply stems from wanting another game mode where one could express their own custom colors. He also went on to say that they are still excited for Infection returning. That is criticism done right and if you are going to complain about that without even grasping what the OP said fully, you may as well not even bother.
Ive seen a lot of complaints on Flood mode from H4 & just don’t get it, I thought it was a great addition to the lore of the Universe as well as looking pretty cool! Either way, I can’t wait to find out more to help weed out the confusion we are all having from a 30 second trailer.

Well, the complaints about Flood that I remember never really stemmed from the Flood models for the Infected (which I thought were rad), but things odd hit detection, how Armor Abilities affected the mode and serious issues with camping.
We’re getting infection. DEAL WITH IT!

Yea I was not a big fan of Halo 4 flood. But loved how the infected looked

Again, did you actually read the OP or just responding based on impulse? I don’t recommend the latter. The OP is excited for Infection to come back, they’d just like custom colors for the un-Infected, I believe that was their point anyway.
It’s not even out yet, and it seems we can change the color.
Yeah I have the same issue as well, Something that I loved about Infection from Halo 3 and Reach was that “Human” players all had their own color they made is customization, if they tweek that by the time it comes out I will be happy with the rest!
How about you hold off on criticism until you actually get a chance to play it?
