Thoughts on H5 infection

Without a doubt, H5 has beautifully done (MM) infection right. That’s not to say that there isn’t some tweaks and fixes to be done but it’s a great first step!

I love how minimal zombies AAs are, brings back that slow and steady feel as you gain momentum from each kill. Not sure is ADS is considered a AA but ADSing with a sword sometimes creates unfair lunge that makes you stare at your TV thinking WTF? But here’s one of my main problems… time limit! From both zombie and Spartan standpoints, I feel time is too quick. many situations where I know I could have gotten more people but time ran out AND i feel super rushed to get my kills instead of stalking my prey before I strike! 5 minutes would seem more fitting but this leads to atleast another full shotgun rounds which isn’t the end of the world. I do enjoy the AR/Shotgun start and all the power weapons around the map. Feels like old times because map knowledge is a major key! Oh! the last Spartan standing perk is wonderful, balanced and well deserved since you have 11 Spartan hungry zombies after you.

All maps feel great (so far). I cannot wait to see what forgers are currently creating for this playlist. I started with H3 infection and seeing the haunted houses and such, the creations that are being shown now are mind blowing! (Forgers; Ghost town remake? ;^) )

Thats all I can think of from my games today, I cannot wait to play this more and explore deeper in this gametype.

PS I’m horrible at making gametypes/maps but I vision a remake of Speed Demons from Halo 3. Viking map - Infected have hammers with amped up movement - survivors have BRs/pistols. If anyone thinks they can remake the map/gametype, I’d love to test it out! :slight_smile:

Yeah just need to buff the zombies shields so the DMR and pistol aren’t OP

I was raised on 1 shot to the head kills so this isn’t a issue for me. All one shot weapons only have starting clip and that’s it. I miss most those shots anyway xD

I don’t understand why people wanted this so badly. I played one game and totally hated it. Just like I hated it in every game before it. I sure hope there are some great custom games that come from the settings. Otherwise, far as I’m concerned, everyone has been yoinking the past 6 months for nothing.

(I already know. If I don’t like it, don’t play it. I get that. Just really don’t see what is so fun about it.)

It’s not for everyone. I personally enjoy it, but the real fun with infection is seeing the kind of custom games people make with it.

is just a fun game that doesnt require over sweating

its pretty good for grinding out req points spend 2 minutes in the most defensible part on the map and then one minute of real playing per round
i hate being the infected though theres something about dying repeatedly for no gain i don’t enjoy so i usually just hide if im ever infected

Exactly, there is no other playlist that can mimic infection. Also the feeling knowing a horde of zombies are coming you way… Such adrenalin

I embrace being infected. Nothing better then snaking my way into a fortified area to destroy everyone from the belly out! >:-)
