Sort out Infection!

> As infected individuals we should be the flood. They ARE zombies and are infected so why not play as a flood and crawl on walls like spider man and jump really far! What happened to imagination?

As a separate game mode, that could be interesting, but completely replacing Infection with that mode is a bad idea.

343i need to sort the Living Dead playlist out.

The amount of hiding/camping spots on The Cage, Countdown etc…

Not fun to play when you get spawn killed. Equally no fun to get loads of kills with no skill.

More community maps as well please?

The few times I’ve played always made me wanted to quit. Where’s the fun when you can just sit on one spot and wait for the zombies to get to you until you run out of ammo.

There are awesome community infection maps out there but I’m guessing it’s just tooo much work to make sure there aren’t cheap areas.

there is some work that has been done to the maps, like sword base , its ledge that you reach with the big blue lift is now a soft kill , including the side ledge.
its not much but at least they are trying.
but then again, there is a need to hide if not the games on the current maps would last less then 5 minutes for the whole game.

I say, they should just scrap default maps completely for the Living Dead and bring in custom content by the dozen! xP

Any one else think that Infection should have been turned into its own thing like firefight? What I mean is that we should actually “be” the Flood! …I dont know if the Flood has any more significance in the future of Halo…is it really that easy to destroy the flood in Halo 3???

Halo 3 had this problem and it was still fun. Reach’s just doesn’t feel fun.

The cage is a joke of a map to use for living dead. I don’t see how having such an open map where the non-infected can snipe the infected at will is such a great idea.

The living Dead playlist has so many things that are out of whack. I’ll list a few and show you how I would fix them to make the the living Dead playlist better.

The Pistol- In living Dead the pistol can be very deadly in the right hands but it does seem a bit overpowered. So to fix the pistol from being as overpowred as it is, I say to replace the pistol with a DMR. A DMR will punish noobs for spamming and reward pacers with good aim a kill.

Armor Abilities- In the alpha zombie gametype everyone has sprint including the zombies which makes for extremely easy headshots on zombies. I would make Alpha zombies just appear less in the rotation and make regular infection more common. But if that can’t happen, I suggest give zombies a choice between sprint or armor lock. With armor lock you can survive getting sniped or blasted with a shotgun everytime you go for the humans and have a chance at killikng them. I think this would improve infection greatly.

BullTrue- If I get a bulltrue I should live. End of story. I do understand it’s lag, but you don’t have to rub it in by giving me a bulltrue.

Maps- Living Dead needs community maps. I do get tired of playing the same map over and over again. 343, this is a must. For sure. Although I would like to see Sword base appear more in the rotation. It’s one of the beat infection maps of all time. ( Why Bungie did you remove the ledge? ) But in all seriousness it does need community maps.

Camping- I do understand camping in infection. But people that get in obsurd camping spots is just uncalled for. 343 please remove ridiculess camping spots from living dead. (But 343, you could also add some legit ones.)

Zombie Picking- Don’t you hate it when your the zombie each and every round in infection. I know I do. Well I have a solution that 343 should listen too. I suggest that since there are 12 players and 3 zombies, that 343 extends the rounds to 4 and make it so every player would have to be a zombie once and once only. It would make it fair for everyone, and nobody will be a zombie every round.

I would really like to know how the game decide who are the zombies because sometimes I’m zombie every 3 rounds and than get so much pissed that I quit this game, because everyone camps.

Agreed.

Most importantly they have to balance out the Humans vs Zombies. No one wants to a zombie because you are severly out balanced. I mean who here has gotten a Infection Spree medal (kill 5 humans in a row)? The other two are impossible to get anyway…lol

To me there’s no point in running out as a zombie, I would rather just wait for the round to be over than give away free kills and ruin my KD.

It Needs community maps… there’s sooo many awesome zombie theme maps.

and why the ibn4? lol relax this ain’t B.net.

> I would really like to know how the game decide who are the zombies because sometimes I’m zombie every 3 rounds and than get so much pissed that I quit this game, because everyone camps.

I agree. I hate being the zombie all three rounds.

The player who scores highest in each round should be made zombie as well, as was the case in Halo 3 (if memory serves). It would balance the scores because it seems almost impossible to get a decent amount of kills as a zombie.

Off topic: In Before’s are very childish, they are unneeded and can be considered Spam, Don’t use them again Please.

On Topic: The gametypes are broken, there are various fixes for these issues.

In Alpha Zombies, replace normal zombies’ AA with Evade, That would make it so that the zombies have more of a chance. (If done lower Base Zombies’ traits to be 110% movement and 125% jump with 150% Gravity)

In the current Alpha Zombies give alpha zombies 50% damage resistance and 100% Shields with a 110% shield recharge rate.

Actually, I managed to get an infection spree on pinnacle one time.

They should make a infection called Vanilla Infection Like Halo 3, no sprint, and less damage to zombies.

There are a lot of problems with Infection in general. Though a lot of the community is unhappy, they’ll continue to play the status quo without question. Their continued playing gives updating Infection a low priority.

Dam straight it’s broken.

The only problem is that since the majority of the population plays it as it is, it’ll likely never see an update. No matter how utterly craptastic it is to play as a Zombie.

Sadly, I think you’re right.

You just noticed this…
