Infection variants possibly making comeback

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

In a recent post from a community cartographer community maps were being collected for the new infection playlist. In the post a description for the game type/playlist was given. It said something along the lines of there being regular infection as well as hive mind, braaiinns, etc.

This could just be a simple definition spanning all halo games, or it could mean these variants are coming in halo 5.

I would like a link to your source. However if this is true, than it sounds like Halo 5 infection will be closer to Halo: Reach/Halo 3 infection instead of the awful flood mode in Halo 4.

Again, this is just speculation.

While this is good, I think it would be more advisable to wait and see how the new infection plays in Halo 5 before designing maps based on how you presume the game will play, so to speak.

Variants are indeed coming, I don’t see why this is a surprise though…

There r always Infection variants, they’re usually different each game, I excpect that we will get a whole new set of variants, although I would like variants that stray from traditional infection, such as Hivemind or Last Stand, instead of variants that simply change the color of the infected, such as alpha zombies or Braaaains.
