Subject: What is so appealing about sword base?

Oh ze screaming, it is arousing!

I'm a guy who loves to play infection, when I go into the playlist and find a game as soon as sword base shows up everyone chooses it. I'm confused as to why this happens, what is so damn appealing about this map that makes me confused. Please explain to me.

Excuse me? Unlike others I actually charge into battle, you really shouldn't assume.

Then you're playing infection wrong.

You can't really play it right or wrong, each person has a different style of game play, though I don't get why people choose to camp.

Nothing, OP, people are just stupid.

OP, If you are asking about Infection, the answer is simply that people like to camp Infection. Why shouldn't they? It's an effective strategy. The high ledge, the lift room, the bottom of red lift, the high vent, all very popular spots. While other maps have camping spots, the difference is that Sword Base gets camped in all game modes. When's the last time you saw a guy on top of the cage in squad slayer? How often do people camp lower red lift en masse in SWAT? Not often. Personally I found the abundance of camping in Infection, plus the fact that it takes next to no skill very unattractive, and I blame infection for why so many Halo players who think they're good because they have a 2.0 KD actually suck because all they play is infection and don't know how to handle a DMR at all.

A very good question, unfortunately, I also find myself out voted 11 to 1 when Sword Base comes up in Living Dead. I however do have a theory. People vote for Sword Base so they can hide in that tunnel.

Even though that is the WORST thing you could possibly do in a game of Living Dead.

great confined and wide map also because its neutral its provides great cover for zombies thats why asylum sucks because the bases are symmetrical and retarded

Camping is how you win at Living Dead. If you run around like a jackass you'll get killed quickly. If you hole up with a few friends you'll live much longer.

Fhtagn


lolnope. If you just stay in one spot, the zombies will eventually infect other people and you'll get overrun. Being mobile is ingenious if you don't suck, I survive Living dead pretty often when playing with my bro just because we actually use our legs. And I'm not talking about running in the middle of the map.

The lift room as a great view.
