Infection maps dont play well.

Games Halo 5: Guardians

They look pretty good but they dont play well. Every map confines you into small areas at all times.

This would work if we used the amazing gameplay from the past but since we now have ADS on a sword and zombies can thrust around, youll die as a human unless you go to the one spot on each map 343 tells you to go to by placing stuff covering your back so you just sit there and its not fun. If you run around, youll die because every other area has too many ways to get to you.

Now if youre a zombie, you dont have to deal with everyone blasting you with the magnum because “it plays better with an assault rifle.” Instead, you get humans with rocket launchers, saws and I even saw the CE pistol. So if you dont crouch behind all those pieces of cover 343 gave you around the whole map except your special spot, youll die. I was sniping zombies with an assault rifle. 4 bullets killed one across the map.

This playlist shouldve been fun but its not because we dont get to decide our playstyle with these maps. Id rather play the normal maps and/or have a no sprint/spartan ability (this includes ADS for sword) gametype

How often in your games did the survivors win? Was it significantly different from previous games? In my experience it’s about the same.

I think the zombies are actually quite fun to play now. It’s significantly better than the last couple of games and there are actually a lot less camping spots. This is the first version of infection that has actually encouraged players to move around the map.

And the same rules apply as before, stick with other players and you will survive longer.
