Infection Kinda Ruined :(

Dear 343 why did you guys remove the ability for the flood to use other weapons :frowning: In halo 3 i did nothing but play these gametypes, I had thousands of custom games played and only a couple hundred matchmaking games played. This isnt fair at all because my favorite part of halo were these infection maps/games. Other than this issue Halo 4 is perfect but this is the only thing that bothers me. Because of the flood not being able to use other weapons we wont be able to enjoy the following infection maps! :

> Cat & Mouse
> Close The Doors
> Cops and Robbers
> Ducks
> Fat Kid
> Garbage Man
> Ghost Busters
> Halo (also known as “Halo on Halo”)
> Jenga
> Lava Man
> Left-4-Dead
> Minotaur
> Muffin Man
> Predator
> Sumo
> Toilet Monsters
> Tremors
> Tunnel To China

I would be a -Yoink!- and say “you still have Reach, play it on that one”, but I know everyone wants to play it on the latest Halo. They took out the ability for the flood to use weapons because the flood has a claw instead of fingers and thumbs. How would it look if the flood were holding guns that you suppose to hold with two hands? The flood could use a weapon for use with one hand though.

ON the brightside, we won’t get meh gametypes like Zombie Ghosts >.<

I am sure the community, who is rather creative, can get around this limitation and still create new Flood gametypes.

Ok you need to wait and see what they did in the game. theres only been one flood type that iv seen but im sure there are more

If the flood in halo 3 could hold a weapon (and they were really mutilated looking) I am pretty sure they could make a flood form that isnt mutitlated hold a weapon with both hands

How would they look? Like this. Looks fine to me.

Skip to about 2:05. “You can tune Flood and survivor loadouts. If you have a favorite Infection gametype you can make it”

How would it look? I got you bro. i.imgur.com/1E017.jpg

Games like Cat and Mouse I played in Halo 2 so if it was possible back then, then it is possible in Halo 4. You might need be be a little creative or use an honor system.

Also why do we have to be green? Why not our own colors?

Infection wasn’t ruined. In fact, it was hugely improved.

What was ruined was Customs. Completely different.

Also, This. Kevin Franklin makes it sure sound lie you can make those gametypes.

> Also why do we have to be green? Why not our own colors?

I’m assuming it’s a faction thing: UNSC vs Flood

Guys, they’ve only showed the matchmaking version yet. Team colors and swords-only have never been officially stated. In fact, as orkuun byundis stated, a video explained you can tune infected loadouts. It was never shown, but it never not shown either.

can they be remade in normal custom games instead of using the actual flood gamemode?

I will try and attempt to recreate Ghost Busters with this new “Infection” gametype.

EDIT: If I fail, back to Reach for Infection gametypes I go.
