I do realize that Halo 5 is aiming for a more competitive style of gameplay with arena maps being a focus, but gametypes like Infection and Action Sack always offered creative variety to Halo’s multiplayer and it would be enjoyable to have them brought into Halo 5 matchmaking. Does anyone think 343 will bring those two modes into Halo 5: Guardians?
I will be very, very shocked, and very, very mad if Infection is not in Halo 5.
All I can say is that you should be very optimistic…
I’m pretty sure that there will not be infection.
I really do hope so, playing infection with my friends is hella fun.
I’d be pretty upset if either were missing. But I can’t say that I’m happy with some of the Halo 5 news that has been hitting in the last few months, so I wouldn’t be surprised at this point. But I highly doubt Action Sack would be cut, it’s the most popular playlist in MCC and 343 went on about that in a update for quite some time. But Halo 5 beta was super fun, so while I don’t like a lot that I’m seeing lately and especially so if they cut infection, I know it’ll still be a good game and I’ll have fun with it.
We will most likely get an infection playlist, as it is one of the most popular casual/just for fun modes. If it is not present at launch, I will be a bit upset.
Hey guys, not worry. 343 actually responds to the outcry of its fan. Infection was the most fun game type my friends and I have played and also, people made pretty great maps with the infection game type. Flood sounded cool but the evade trait made them too over powered. Infection was like headshot, headshot, headshot. The only way you’d die is if you actually got overwhelmed by zombies. If they do not have at launch, then we must get their attention for it. I mean what else can we do?
343 still needs to add an Infection playlist to MCC. However, given that they recently added Action Sack to MCC, I’m pretty sure they understand the need to include these kinds of game modes.
They’d better! Imaging how many crazy gametypes people could create with the spartan abilities in mind… Like how about a game type where the only way to move is use thrusters? That would be the most insane game of chess ever!
I hope so and hope that they don’t intend on throwing a majority of casual play into Warzone at launch. Action Sack has always been a great playlist, but probably takes more time to include many variants. It’s probably why it doesn’t get to be a starting playlist.
Still, I’m awaiting some Grifball news 343, you better not flop.
I don’t see why they don’t have infection or action sack. Along with Grifball. They’re fan favourites and a lot of fun to play. Hopefully they add them in to the game soon after launch.
I’d be very surprised if Infection/Flood didn’t return as a permanent playlist, but I could see them taking their time to introduce an Action Sack playlist and having it rotational despite it’s current popularity in the MCC. I personally hope that 343i will provide a playlist breakdown akin to this.
Hmm I hope they still keep Action sack. And I hope they re add Griffball!!! Oh I miss that so much. Infection not so much…just after H4 it wasn’t such a big deal to me.

343 mentioned get ready to talk infection or some such in a blog post - I’m quite sure it’ll be either in halo 5, or added to the MCC (I couldn’t tell which)
both will likely will be since 343 knows both of those gametypes are loved by the community if not at launch then likely will be added at a later time at launch
We don’t have confirmation of all the game modes yet? You’d think this would have been something they released by now.
I would be disappointed if Halo 5 doesn’t have infection as standalone playlist. they did put infection into mcc’s playlist recently.
If they don’t have those game modes get ready to flip so many tables.
