Has anyone played the infection game mode? I have read about it, but it has never come up during the matchmaking process. Apparently it is a "survivor" type scenario. One team are the Spartans, the other the "FLOOD". Anyone have any idea?

I haven't played it, but I've read enough about it to explain it to you.

In Halo 2 it is a custom game only. You have to play it with a good amount of friends to make it good. There are two teams, as you mentioned. Typically one is comprised of green or black Elites, the other comrpised of Spartans of a different color. Elites can only use swords, whereas the Spartans can only use human weapons.

I think there are no sheilds on the map, and only either human, or no weapons. There also may be human turrets on the map. Zombies can't pick up human weapons, and Spartans can't use swords. If they do, they are booted.

When a Spartan is killed by a sword weilding Elite, he is changed into a Zombie himself, normally by a team change. It's a battle to see who can last the longest, or to see if a time limit can be survived, or whatever.

Oh, lastly, the weapons one spawns with are sword and magnum (or BR if people have shields), but zombies and spartans have to stick with their respective weapons.

That's about all I can think of to say.

You really have to play it, it takes to long to explain.
