A question on many players’ minds, including myself, is whether 343 Industries has implemented the classic Infection gametype in the list of Halo 5 gametypes; the same one we know and love from Halo 3 and Halo: Reach. The Flood gametype should stay with us without a doubt, but classic Infection is one of the trademarks of Halo.
Throughout the years, Infection has given the community endless custom game opportunities, such as Jenga, Tetris, Trash Compactor, Predator, Jump Rope, Skycastle, Fat Kid, Smearena, Cops & Robbers, Teacher, and so much more. Along with this, the overall presence of the Infection gametype for custom games is an incentive for older Halo fans to continue playing. With the new Forge system combined with a customizable Infection gametype, the possibilities for game-making would be endless.
At this point, I’m not concerned at all whether or not Infection will be present as a matchmaking playlist upon launch, that’s not as important. However, what is important to me is that there is a physical Infection gametype present in the list of custom games that can be customized by any player and set to a map.
My hopes for 343 Industries are high for this game, and I truly hope that there will be a classic Infection gametype for players to work and create with.
I think after the complaints about halo 4’s flood it will be more similar to halo 2A where you can customize their weapons.
If you want “Classic Infection”, then remake foundation, add the guardian glitch back, and zombies are green with a sword.
I completely forgot halo4 changed infection into flood. I think halo2 anniversary had a good version of infection, it changed the appearance of the infected and they could also wield weapons. Weapon weilding is a key factor for infection game modes.
I was always the fat boy… );
I played Infection on Reach a lot, this would be good to have. Yes, please.

It’s perfectly fine to like Flood variants, but we just need regular Infection as well.
I think Alpha Zombies on Halo Reach were the best IMO

Hive mind in Halo 4 was fun… Until everyone in every game decided to break the map and camp out of bounds.
I would love for the classic infection to come back, Flood mode is cool and all, but it still doesn’t beat the classic infection mode.
I know for a fact that it won’t be in the launch playlists for matchmaking (which I don’t mind), however, if it’s not listed in the custom games game types, I’ll be very disappointed and worried. It should be there though, 343 knew how popular it was in Reach and the MCC before they replaced it with CE: 4v4, hell, even Flood was popular in Halo 4.
