Frankie confirms no Infection in January Update.

great…all of these amazing forge tools, new armor, cool reqs and everything else that makes halo 5 great. Useless. I usually forge a lot, but lately? nothing… I dont want to because I cant make all the customs (that everyone wants) work without infection, races, juggernaut, etc…

Honestly as much as I love infection, I’ll take a new map gladly.

But Why

Great another one who thinks warzone is pay to win. Stop making things up people. Warzone, in no shape or form, is PAY TO WIN.

It’s not the bland regular infection itself, it’s the custom gamest hat come with it. Most custom maps in previous Halo’s were designed for infection based games. Fat kid, trashman, pacman, jenga, etc… Cod Zombies doesn’t allow for players to be the zombies, so it offers nothing once you get caught. That combined with that fact that Halo’s zombies aren’t serious games, where the games you mentioned have tried to make it a serious gametype that requires a ton of strategy.

Well hopefully Februarys update. Be so fun to see

  1. They had three and a half years, that was more than enough time. If they can’t get it done in that time frame then they just aren’t very good developers. Bungie managed to release Halo games in shorter time frames with far more content.
  2. This is by far the weakest of defenses for 343. It’s not an either or scenario. A good developer can release a complete AND functional game. It’s pathetic that we have gotten to the point where we are satisfied if a game isn’t broken.
  3. No. I paid for the game over 2 months ago, why should I be satisfied with getting the rest of what I bought later?

Infection was much fun especialy on custom maps.

When you can pay money for mutiple gold packs at a time it is.

Exactly my thoughts!

It kinda sucks that there is no infection. They need to focus on gamemodes considering forge is now out.

That’s just sad 343 dropped the ball again

I swear I heard it was comming feb update… could be wrong.

I got to say the custom game/forge argument is pretty solid. Infection is kind of the gift that keeps on giving in this aspect. If they release the gametype, the community will take over from there. Minimum work on their part compared to the total content we will get out of it

In all honesty, I feel other game modes like 1-Flag CTF, Oddball, Assault, King of the Hill, Headhunter, etc, they should all have higher priority over Infection because those gametypes play more like traditional Halo. We have to remember, first and foremost this is a Halo game. Gametypes which better belong with the Halo formula, they should be in the game first. Modes like Infection should be an added bonus, but after we already have solid selection of core modes.

And personally I actually prefer Flood to Infection. Flood is a lot more challenging and skill-based. You know, the humans actually have to rely on twitch reflex, alertness, and positioning. Normal Reach-style infection, that essentially came down to camping 24/7 and abusing the overpowered pistol. The zombies were so underpowered compared to the humans, they rarely ever had a chance. Reach Infection was just a bad gametype in general. Like, yeah, it had more gametype customization, but we’re purely talking about the default mode used in matchmaking, that was pretty shallow and unbalanced. Default Infection really had nothing over Flood which added better balance and a higher skill ceiling to the mode.

So in summary

  • Focus first on bringing back some other gametypes which have more traditional Halo gameplay. - Then after you have a solid selection of modes, don’t add Infection to the game, instead bring back Flood but with greater customization.
