Can’t have Forge without Infection. That’s like 90% of custom games right there. What, you expect people to forge standard maps to play with their friends? I mean, I like building those kinds of maps, but nobody’s friends actually get together to play custom Slayer. It’s always “party games” like cool Infection maps, Race maps, etc.
The removal of KotH and Assault also makes it really hard on the customs community. There was a lot of stuff you could make with those gametypes (no Assault means no Grifball).
If 343 is just waiting to add Infection at a later date, then that’s definitely the wrong direction to take. Forge is nothing without Infection, and you can’t just expect people to make much use of Forge without something to actually play on their maps. I guess until then we’ll have to go back to the old-school Halo 2 honor rules in order to play Infection.
Match made flood/infection didn’t rate highly enough during Halo 4 so they didn’t prioritize it. Custom games rated at the very top but I guess they didn’t pick the figure apart and research what gametypes were actually being used. From my experience, infection was a clear winner with KOTH in second.

Match made flood/infection in halo 4 was awful.
Infection was always one of my all time favorites, but there was such a dramatic change in 4 that I stopped playing entirely. Back in Reach and 3 it was consistently one of the most played playlists

People are being lazy too. I remember a time when we didn’t have forge, and we still played zombies in custom games with friends on normal maps. Sword/Pistol starts are hard I guess.

Yeah and we can still do that. But the whole referee thing, dictating the game and threatening to boot players who misbehaved, which did happen. Kind of ruins things. It plays nicer without all that as do many other honourless rules.

I remember doing that in H2. We would switch teams to become a zombie I thought someone said you can’t switch teams in H5 in game. I haven’t actually tried it so I don’t know.

Flood was a great concept, honestly. Making the zombies actual zombies was great.
But yeah, matchmade Flood was horrible because all they did was use standard maps.
Heres my source of the most played gametypes. ‘Arranged games’ is AKA custom games. Flood and king of the hill stats are based on matchmaking and are very low. What they didn’t consider is what made the custom games so popular Spread the word!
