Awesome isn’t just a word. Awesome is a way of life. Awesome is a way of war. Teamwork matters the most. Lone Wolves jeopardize the missions. Teamwork is key. Resistance is futile.

Infection has progressivly gotten better since H3. I think there are some things that could make the experience ALOT funner, and scarier.

For instance:

-How about special attributes for zombies?
Like Alpha Zombie have Pestilence. Regular Zombies drop dust and crust as they walk. All zombies have blood all over their armor, and their armor looks more rotted.

-What if infected got up from their human player's dead body? Say you're human, and you die. Remember the Living Dead body lag glitch in Reach and H3? Instead of just respawning, THAT's what happens, and then after a few seconds, you rise back up from that body as a zombie.

-Gravemind Screen
Remember the screen distortion from Gravemind in H3 when your screen turns green, and distorts as Gravemind talks? Maybe in certain gametypes, zombie's screens look like that.

-Moaning
Zombies moan. Nuff said.

-Music
I know it's unusual to have music in multiplayer, but just think about it. Maybe we could get eerie music for a better feel. Maybe 343i could work out a deal with Valve so we can use the L4D soundtrack. Hell, I dunno. It would be kinda cool but unneeded.

What do you wish to see in Halo 4's infection?

Whatever Cobra, I don't give half a shiit about your forum policing.

Just because I misread doesnt make me an idiot, ass. When I see a ninja actually lock one of the 10,000 non-story related Halo 4 threads that have been posted today, THEN i'll leave. Will that help you sleep easier? Glad everyone's happy.

Who want's cake?

Right. Even though a Master Forum Ninja said himself that discussion of HALO 4 and the Halo Universe belongs in the Halo Universe Forum.

Though, I guess his word means nothing, and Halo 4 has absolutly nothing to do with the Halo Universe, right?

Troll harder, dumbass.

Yes, the story of Halo 4, which is what the Universe Forum is about. We discuss the story of Bungie games, not the gameplay and game modes.

Reading comprehension.

I always thought about infection in Halo. I never thought about it really as zombies, but as hide and seek where if you are found you join the other team and you have to find the remaining people that are hiding.

I think the matchmade versions of Infection are kind of boring and repeatative. Humans always start out with a shotgun and a pistol on a regular un-altered map.

Don't get me wrong, sometimes it can be fun. But I really only thought of the infected as zombies in Halo 3.

Basically what I'm getting at is that we need a new mix for infection. I know this idea has been tossed around a lot, but what if the infected took the form of the flood? And possibly there are different classes of flood? It would be like left for dead in a way, but in Halo.

Further clarification: You may use the Bungie Universe forum to discuss the story of Halo 4. Anything else regarding Halo 4 (eg. gameplay) belongs in The Flood.

Read the rules better before calling me a troll OP.

Exactly. They should make Infection diverve, like Invasion. It should be soooooo dramatic, it's not even funny.

I think that even Invasion is pathetic and needs a huge overhaul like infection. But I'll just continue on about Infection so I don't change the subject.

  • 06.11.2011 10:35 PM PDT

infected = flood. in both apperance and default traits

You aren't even supposed to be talking about Halo 4 gameplay here anyway.

Then take it to the Flood, the correct forum for this. It's not that hard.
