By this I mean should we keep infection as an open playlist? Or should we put it back as a gametype within another playlist, like rumble pit. Right now Infection is a non-competitive have fun shooter which gives you easy cR and challenges. It is also one of the top 3 playlists of Halo: Reach. This draws the community away from the more classic gametypes.
So, should it stay as it’s own playlist or go?
It should stay as its own playlist. it would be less efficient to have it in rumble pit. people dont want to play some of the other stuff so let them play what they want. it is a popular playlist but in my opinion it needs some tweaking
I want it to be a double-exp weekend playlist again. And they should not release it right away. They should give the community time to create good maps. I don’t want another Reach, where we got nothing but default maps at the beginning and it becomes nothing but a stat-padding playlist.
Wow you want to put it in rumple pitt because its popular thats too funny, but really though Bungie did not know how to make infection maps community ones were so much better the infection types and maps in 3 & Reach sucked.
If they put in community maps then it better not be like the maps in reach. With reversed spawns and minor alterations. I want it to be maps from T H F E
People seem to enjoy Infection and Grifball so I think they should have their own playlist.
If you throw them in another playlist then you get what we have now with Rocket Race in multi team. Half the players want race and half the players want actual gameplay. Give Race it’s own playlist too.

Personally, I hate MM infection and the community made maps. Why 343i would choose those pieces of crap to put into matchmaking I’ll never know.
It needs to go as a permanent playlist and be put in Rumble Pit and/or brought in as a weekend playlist.
It either needs to be it’s own playlist permanently, or a weekend/double xp/whatever playlist. It definitely should not be part of rumble pit. When rocket race was included in the multi-team playlist, it was rarely ever voted for, and when it did win the vote half the players quit because they didn’t search multi-team to play rocket race. The same would happen if infection were in a FFA playlist.
Just because it “takes people away from other playlists” doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be an option. That’s a horrible reason to take away a game people enjoy playing. It’s as populated as it is because it’s a fun game and a good alternative to the more serious competitive gametypes.
I’m fine with them waiting a couple months to give it a playlist, but in my opinion it should remain permanent.
It needs to have no affect on k/d.
1.) top 3 in reach isn’t saying much
2.) if it were put in a more classic playlist while being more popular than the othter gametypes in that playlist than it would keep people that wan’t to play those other gametypes from playing them which is yoinking yoink!!!
3.) your question is rhetorical
4.) the playlist isn’t that popular cause nobody plays reach
I’ve never understood how people have enjoyed infection. Instead of real zombies, it’s just green people with swords. But anyway, it should be a seperate playlist.

This guy showed some awsome infection maps that are so many times better than say infection on boardwalk. And if you hate it just don’t play it it’s that simple.
> It needs to have no affect on k/d.
This, too. It kills K/D stat-padding and doesn’t punish your K/D if you end up being zombie all three times. It’s a win-win.
infection should stay, but the voting system is insane, rumble pit to me is a joke same with action sack, simply because, with all the maps available and all the choices, majority picks the lamest overused maps and gametypes…its a joke, and if infection was added that way, it would overrun the playlists and then RUMBLE PIT would become INFECTION just with another name.

Your last two statements made no sense. My question was not rhetorical and yesterday Reach had a population of about 100,000 online players.
I see no reason to scrap Infection, it can be fun if the rules are done right (not in Reach, which is basically a pistol shooting gallery). Either bring it back as a permanent playlist, or a “double exp weekend” style playlist. Just DON’T mix it with any other playlists…

Oh man, thank you. I’m downloading these babies. I’ve been looking for good infection customs in Reach. They are few and far between.

Just be sure you use the related “zm_outbreak” gametype-the maps are not designed for default infection.
Do you mean “Living Dead”?
