Subject: What's So Good About Infection?

"Ultimate excellence lies
Not in winning
Every battle
But in defeating the Enemy
Without ever fighting."

-Sunzi: Master of War.

Infection: Play with a group of overly powerful humans equipped with plenty of shotgun ammo and 90 degree angles within the map to hide in. Then, when the host migrates, you suddenly turn infected because of blatant lag-related causes and become a very weak and pathetic zombie, sword at hand, lunging at a group of trigger-happy juggernauts.

Infection Community: High pitched 11-year-olds screeching into their microphone and begging to be promoted to party leader so they can show-off a plethora of horridly-designed battlegrounds with poorly written game types to boot.

"Hey dude, you wanna play some Matchmaking?"

"Sure! That sounds like a swell way to really get the old boredom evicted."

*Puts on Living Dead*

"Oh, hold on just one jelly-jumping minute, good sir. I suppose that I had forgotten to renew my driver's license. I have to begin that errand right now. Good'day, sir."

"What? But dude, we're about to.. like... kill some zombies and stuff."

"Sorry. I must depart at once!"

This is a conversation serving as an exemplar of why I hate Infection and the Infection Community in general. If I want to eradicate vicious walking dead, I would forcibly insert Left 4 Dead into my console.

Why does everyone love Infection?

It's where the kids go who can't use normal weapons and think they're good because all they use is the shotgun and 1 shot pistols.

Or normal players go to stat whore.

Infection isn't fun at all. It is only useful for trolling.

Real account.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Because of the achievement.

Infection is kids' version of tag. So... yeah it's for kids. Sometime i go in and go on betrayal spree.

It was slightly better, as it had a much larger variety of maps. In Reach, there's really only Sword Base and Uncaged, with the rare Reflection.

I like it in Halo 3 because of the maps, and some of the gametypes.
Reach has no good maps, and Bungie screwed up some of the gametypes for it.

I feel as though I should say infection with friends in custom lobbies are about 9001 time more fun than matchmaking infection.

Both only amount to a fun factor of three.

This. I enjoyed Living Dead in H3. In fact, I used to search solo in it all the time when it would pop up. Maps like Spooky House and Haunted Manor were my favorites.

I think thats why it was fun back in H3. The maps, as well as the game overall.

I hardly ever played the matchmaking gametypes.
Me, and groups of people played it in custom games.
I loved playing:
-Fat Kid.
-Cops, and Robbers.
-Predator.
-Duck Hunt.
-Ice Cream Man.
-Halo.
-Others.

To me these are best maps for it.
-Sandbox.
-High ground.
-Foundry.
-Sandbox.
-Rat's nest.
-Standoff.

I have no idea how Bungie manage to -blam!- up so badly with custom games for Reach, same thing with the game(Reach) it self.

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Betraying other humans. Or tricking little kids into betraying each other.

Infection is the second fun thing in Reach, second only to MLG! :D

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Nothing. I don't understand how you can love to play a gametype where you go -30 and sit on the respawn screen all the time.

  • 12.28.2011 5:39 PM PDT

Honestly, it's probably just because it's about Zombies.


  • 12.28.2011 5:52 PM PDT

I miss Halo. Maybe Halo 4 will change that.

Edit: Lol nope

Camping, lots of kills, sprees and medals to be had and the option to AFK if you're a zombie.

Don't rush humans and you'll never go negative. I went 9 and 0 by camping right and not rushing humans as a zombie.

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

No one said you had to play it.
