Where Infection?

Just is 343i even gonna attempt to put infection into this game at all as an official game mode?

Probably.

But it’s also a game type that is suited to Forge / scripting.

The only thing that appears to be lacking (from the leaked builds) is an Infection costume to apply. And who knows - we might be able to do something.

I think it’s a good idea to let the community loose on these things and then let 343 cultivate the cream of the crop into the appropriate play lists.

In the void with the rest of the game

Infection will be created via scripting for sure by community members and then make it’s way into game.

Well, it’s 343, so they are probably waiting for some random Forgers to create all of the best content in Infinite’s MP for free.

Do you really want to try infection or griffball with desync the way it is though? Seems like that would be similar to swat in the way it highlights the problems with a flood light. Nothing they attempt to hobble together now while the foundation is sand will stick, so the more stuff they attempt to massacre with release the more bridges they burn.

Yet they refuse to start working on the biggest problem this game has, desync.

In the time it took you to write this post, a single Google search would’ve given you all the answers you’re looking for.

I don’t see desync being worked on still

Hopefully we have some more scripting options for trait:vfx.

I see we have a couple. eg. trait:vfx = overshield.

We just need one for being “infected” - and there will be more variants of Infection than we could poke a stick at.

Halloween was the best moment to put infection, but they don’t
