With such a brilliant forge, has 343i stated a reason for not releasing infection sooner? I’ve heard its been confirmed. Can anyone show me the proof? Or the reason its being withheld? I mean every Halo streamer, fan, forum writer, player, youtuber etc. Have been asking for it. How possible is that they’re holding on to it because its this new amazing thing?
Why release a full game when you can part it out and feed it back to the consumer under the banner of free updates?

But that makes no sense. Free updates. FREE. So this stuff we’re getting, they’re not profitting off of. And there was no huge lack of content besides forge really. Playlists is the only thing i can think of. We had a lot of arena maps. And 3 warzone maps. Which for the size, is acceptable. I dont think this is a money think or any sneaky Dev scheme. Back in the day you paid for map packs now their free. I feel like 343i is more incompetent then greedy.

Oh you didn’t say that, is not a money thing? Ha -.-"
343 is making their profit off of actual Halo 5 copes sold via disc/digital download, and also people dumping money into REQ packs/bundles. So more people play, the more people dump money into REQ packs so more free updates can happen.
But why the wait on infection, I have no idea. It’s not my personal favorite game type but it’s whatever keeps floating your boat.
Odds are they want to create maps for the playlist so people won’t complain…
No they haven’t, but really, what could they possibly say? What justification could they possibly provide for any of the gametypes being 4 months late, let alone something as simple as changing teams when you die and giving different teams different attributes?
Who does not want to hear enemy’s spartan cries for their life so they won’t be infected. 
It’s quite fun.
343, or at minimum those responsible for multiplayer development appear to have contempt for the game type. I dont base that solely off Halo 5’s complete lack of infection, but added together with Halo 4’s horrendous version of infection (Flood) and 343’s meddling in Reach’s Infection, I can come to no other logical solution.
343 inherited a playlist that was the most popular in Reach, turned it into one of the least popular in Halo 4 and then completely excluded it from Halo 5. What does that tell you? To be frank (pun not intended) I am not getting my hopes up for whatever gets pooped out in the next few months as far as infection because it appears 343 either does not care about or like infection, maybe both.
Hopefully it’s in the March update… seriously…
