I played it for fun and for achievements...to begin with..... then just for achievements because zombies with shields sucks and the invisible gametypes were terrible... keep trying bungie I know you've got some better ideas than that for the future..im sure of it...

thank God that's over, i'm all out of mountain dew and pizza, my eyes are bloodshot, i have huge dark circles under my eyes, i pretty muh look like a friggin zombie, i haven't showered, slept and have barely eaten since this thing came out

now bungie first off thanks for the special hopper great idea and i love zombies, been playing it sine way back in the halo 2 days
the maps were decent and pretty fun
the game types were close to being all around horrible
i need old school zombies
zombies are invisible (optional), fast (optional), swords and NO shields (NOT optional)
humans starts with magnum and maps have random weapons but NO power weapons
and the maps have NOOOOOOOOOOOO power ups!

i am really gratefull did have fun and made it to level 10 and love all the cool new armor variants i have won ;-)
i look forward to more infection MM and more special hoppers. keep it coming and i can't wait to see the new maps
thanks again

Ok it was fun because it was different. I couldn't play with my friends since I was a higher rank than them. The only fun games of infection I've play is when the zombies have no shields. When did zombies become invisible and carry power sticks? I'd like for bungie to keep the playlist, but fix the game play just a little. The forged maps were decent. Thanks!

It's like a retard riding a bicycle while eating hot wings.
Sometimes you have to take the bike seat off to really enjoy it.

the only gametype I hated was that creeping crap other than that it was awesome and cover up that stair case on the pit. so what are you guys doing for thanksgiving??
And what about the new maps??

Thanks Bungie!! That was alot of fun. only thing that sucks was that I had school all day, then 2 hours of drivers ed, then trick-or-treating, leaving me with only a couple hours to play...O well

Completely love Infection, wish it could be a part of other matchtypes, maybe BTB? Or its own would work too

...didnt like creeping dead so much...

Good job. Complain when they try to please you guys. It's pretty apparent why they did just about everything they've done in this playlist. The setup is almost blatantly so you can get the achievements you whine about and try to arrange in the pregame. In fact, that's pretty much the only problem I had, besides the party issue.

Since the living dead playlist was to help the undeserving get achievements, it had to be ranked. Hence, you get the spartan laser to use on hordes of zombies. Since it had to be ranked, they had to balance the humans and zombies. That's why zombies have shields and active camo. But to even the odds, when they are cloaked they have hammers. Why? Because you can see them anyway!

The same kind of people complaining now were the ones crying about achievements, and that is why the gametypes weren't exactly what you wanted. The only thing that ruined the Playlist of the Living Dead were the people in it.

I was busy all Halloween, and hardly got to play. Is there any chance you can extend it or bring it back or something?

  • 11.01.2007 4:15 AM PDT

thanks for the playlist, had fun playing it, would like to see it in there in the future, or extended a bit.

I haven't had much of a chance to play online yet since I have been busy with work and moving into a new apartment, but I played my first few Infection games last night and loved them.

Thanks Bungie! Happy Halloween! :-)

I just wanted to say thank you for the playlist. I really had a blast playing it, even though some people on the human side decided to teamkill for their fun time. I think it would be awesome if you had a constant "Gimmick" playlist set going so we could play these more often. It was my first time playing anything other than just Slayer or Team Slayer, I didn't realize that Forge gave people that much control over the maps. Very well done! :)

  • 11.01.2007 5:56 AM PDT

Awesome! Thanks Bungie, it's great to see you guys doing cool things like this to spice our Halo time up. I play a crap ton of infection (probably over half my 250+ games) but it was still awesome to see a playlist with your take on the gametype and some redone maps. Forge maps in matchmaking makes me happy in ways I can't completely describe! But even though everyone wasn't completely happy with the gametypes (I know Bungie.net community complain about something, weird, right?) I think the response is overwhelmingly positive. Please keep surprising us with cool thigns like this!

I wouldn't mind if this was a permanant option on ranked playlists, I thought it was cool, and nice maps bungie!

I have to agree that this would be a nice added variant to the play lists. Especialy since you couldnt connect with a party. I think a match making playlist with Jugger and zombie and all that would be a nice add on for every man for the self instead of just LW.

I think it would be a great idea to keep this playliist bungie, many others think so too. Ranked and social for me.

Loved Zomzibar, Club Dead, Charnel Pit, and Tree Rot was alright and I didn't like the snowbound one though
Hated the creeping gametypes
cover up that freakin staircase hole

1.5 Thumbs up!!

make a perminent social playlist

  • 11.01.2007 6:55 AM PDT

Bungie should put the zombie playlist back since when i was playing it, it said there were about 70,000 people playing it and i found it to be a lot of fun. I really dislike the whole spartan laser thing though on a zombies gametype..what happened to the good old pistol and shotty? or AR

I played all the maps and game types and it was pretty fun. I'll have to say that its a refreshing change from playing Lone Wolf. I think we need more ranked FFA variations that allows more then 5 people per game. It was pretty fun having 10-13 people per match.

  • 11.01.2007 7:31 AM PDT

Live to kill. Kill the bad, and save the good. Or just shut up and shoot something.

Good Idea Bungie,, 10 out of 10 for effort..

I played a few games last night, and Really enjoyed my self, apart from all the normal Noobs in there,, shout killing people just because they didnt like them, all the homphobic names,, and so on,,, As normal,, I just quite and played something else. Tomb Raider,,

Why do people have to act like right Fook ups....????

But again,, Thanks Bungie, for makeing the effort...
