If you’re just like me then you love infection. The struggle to hang on, the hart pounding excitement when you are getting chased by the infected, and the joy of somehow surviving a round of the undead. Now what you’re about to read might be unheard of but hear me out. Why not mix the amazingness we know as infection with the new crazy game type of Warzone and make a whole new game type? I know, I know, you might be thinking “how the hell will that work?” Well I’ve been thinking about it and this is what I came up with. The game can start like a normal warzone game with the intro and everything except instead of there being two teams, all Spartans will start on the same team and the other team will be composed of flood NPCs (at least for the beginning of the game). The goal of the game is to capture and reactivate the control points before time runs out (This can be anything from turrets and Forerunner sentinels, to bases that will activate shields and or turrets). Spartans will lose the game if time runs out or if all players are infected. Now if a player dies then he or she will join the side of the infected. A player that is infected can control local flood to attack on infected players (and maybe retake bases). As time goes on infected players will rank up. For example after 7 min if you are infected you will go from rank 1 to 2 then after another 7 you will be rank 3. This is a universal timer for all players, so if you die as a non-infected player and you have been alive for 14 min then you will be rank 2 when you spawn as an infected player. This is so the game will get harder and harder to keep players from camping and make them want to push on to win the game before the flood gets to strong. The ranks will work just like REQ points so you will be able to spawn with new abilities and weapons unique to the flood. REQ points will normal for non-infected players. What do you guys think? I’m open to suggestions on making the game more balanced and anything else. Let me just say that this is NOT a replacement for infection, I want this to be its own game type.
Thank you for reading!
