Just wondering will their be the game mode infection at launch anybody know?
I have no idea, it probably will be in the game at launch. I hope it’s like infection in Halo Reach.

same here reach’s infection mode was really fun to play with friends
All speculation but I would think Infection will start Social Weekend playlist off

Probably not at launch since nobody has said anything. But your guess is as good as mine
Has 343 made any mention as to what game modes will be available on Day 1?

yes its in the news section
It seems like infection won’t be available day one.
It’ll be added post-launch, I believe.

Found here: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/launch-playlist-details
infection is a really good game type i mean lore speaking add this to the war games simulations the flood may return some day so we better prepare fore it
Infection is so much fun. They’d be crazy if they didn’t add into the playlists somewhere.
Not at launch but maybe later on.
Infection is very fun. I would prefer it if it was like Reach’s rather then 4’s. I didn’t like being forced to wear that neon yellow green. Just my two cents.

Indeed, but I hope they wait until the community has had a chance to Forge some good maps for it.
In typical setups, the game mechanics allow the survivors to decide where gameplay takes place, so if a map has a single usable flaw, you end up with unstoppable campers. Maps need to be precision-built and very well-tested, or alternate game styles (such as forcing players to travel along a path and reach the end) need to be considered. You’re not going to be getting any balanced Infection matches out of Slayer-focused maps.

I’m pretty sure they announced the day 1 playlists a little while ago and it was not on there. But they will be adding in playlists that are popular fairly often and they will have social weekends with special playlists

Yes. What he said is very very true.
Hopefully they’ll have some in house forge maps to make an infection playlist for halloween? Would make for a brilliant first rotational playlist
Infection was the best, it’ll probably be added later though
Better not take almost a year just to get it in matchmaking again… Let alone permanent.
