First off, allow me to clarify that I do not mean Infection as it is right now. What I’m saying is, since the covenant is likely going to be out of the picture in Halo 4, why not make a multiplayer gametype that serves as the equivalent of Invasion, only with one side playing as flood infection forms instead? The rules would be similar to Reach’s infection- a team of spartan “survivors” fights a group of flood combat forms, and the flood tried to infect and overtake the humans. Its parallels with Invasion would come in the form of scaling, only bigger; huge maps with plenty of players. Imagine being the last guy alive and up against 23 flood combat forms at a time? camping with a shotgun will only help for so long, I’ll tell you that much. So, what do you guys think?
On a side note, and I’m suggesting this separately from the rest of the post because I know a lot of people on here aren’t fans of loadouts in Halo, but how about a bottom-up class based layout a la Gears of War 3’s Beast Mode? Once again, I know a lot of you guys would rather just see an even playing field with equally balanced PVP, but Beast Mode is hella fun, and I think something like it could work for a flood gametype.
Invasion is one of the best ideas ever implemented into Halo. The fact that the playlist has a fairly large population despite only having 3(2) maps speaks for itself.
EDIT: yup, I read it just trying to come up with something smart to say. =P
Yes, that’s the point I’m making. This idea could serve as a replacement for, or alternatively, a supplement to, Invasion. Did you read my post?
Infection needs to stay in customs or a one weekend a year in matchmaking thing.
Once again, did you actually read what I was saying, or did you just read the headline and immediately enter a comment?
Man I remember a thread that I was apart of in the GAMMA forums. It was decent size and all we did was speculate on how to fix infection or how to incorporate the flood into invasion.
I thought of the Flood invasion game-type in that thread. A lot of fun that this game-type could bring if they decided to make it.
I hope they give this idea a thought.
First round:basic combat form, and carrier forums/infection form
Second round:Stalker and ranged form
Final round:Tank form

That was the greatest thread on GAMMA.

Oh, I had no idea! But it’s good to know that there are a group of people who agree with me!

Indeed. Ill hope that some1 could bring back the same or similar tread back to new forums. I am really pissed off that it couldn’t be merged on these new forums 
I agree with the first person but also be able to play as flood for custom games beable to choose between spartan elite or flood combat form for flood an idea can be flood elite because they have a shield regen. They should be able to use any thing like weapons and cars like in halo 2 and 3. Also bring back duel weapons and the halo one (ce) needler color of spikes and brute shot. Please bring back every halo 2 and 3 weapons maybe halo reach. Also be able to customize color and armor for flood and normal elite.
Thanks
