After playing flood mode in MM, I realize that infection mode is truly dead.
On the MM side:
The FLood having armor abilities and thruster packs kill the game. It is the same reason the infected in Halo Reach had the “barrel roll” removed, because it was too easy for them kill humans.
Literally all the Flood have to do is press thruster pack and they will kill a human with a slice of their claws.
Armor abilites need to be removed from Flood mode MM, just give them sprint.
Another issue is the pistol, it sucks. Headshots don’t work and there is not enough ammo.
Make the pistols have headshot instantkills on infected.
Ammo is scarce in infection, and it is annoying.
Let humans pick up Ammo.
Also, I propose that ordinance be dropped at certain time intervals and contain shotgun/pistol ammo.
On the custom game side:
Lack of customization
The Flood not being able to carry weapons is terrible.
Halo 4 has caused the death of infection. 343 y u does?
Bungie/343 have never really took advantage of how good a zombies/infection gametype COULD BE. They could make a version that is as good or better than CoD zombies, but instead we have this gametype that looks like it was made for 12 yr olds.
343i really dropped the ball with Customs in general. All of the options missing for Flood which were in Infection mode in Halo 3 and Reach really cripple the gametype.
Remove the Thruster Pack from the Flood, and the gametype becomes very fair, balanced, and fun for both sides in Matchmaking. Only issue matchmaking-wise.
For the Magnum part, it’s completely fine, unless the Flood have Thruster Pack. The Flood having Shields makes it where they don’t get slaughtered by the Humans, but the Flood having Thruster Pack makes the Magnum useless.
Not being able to pick up ammo? Sorry, this has been a tradition since Halo 3. Makes the game more fair, balanced, and fun.
Once you’re not a human that gametype sucks, so you need to be super boss to still have fun. I love the thruster pack if not for FLOOD the thruster app would be completely useless in H4. The reason I like it is because you can kill people while thrusting. It encourages humans to stick together and watch out for us which is how it should be rather than everyone climbing onto dumb spots.
The only thing I would change is giving humans more ammunition, if you can survive a long time you should be accommodated.
