First off, this isn't a "List gametypes" thread, this is just one idea of a gametype.
I have an idea for a gametype that I think every could agree with..

I'm assuming almost everyone here has played the "Zombies" gametype on Halo 2. Here's my idea.

I think it'd be cool to have a gametype specifically for Zombies (somewhat like Perfect Dark: Zero's 'Infection') where one team is the Spartan's, either with shields or no shields, and the other team starts out with one guy being "The Flood" (combat form, maybe?). He would run around being able to "Lunge" at people as if he had a sword, only he'd be hitting with his arms (or maybe he could be holding a sword). When a player gets killed, he becomes a flood form etc etc. I think it'd be fun to give the players health like in Campaign, where the Spartan's had shields and the flood took some shooting to kill.

So.. Opinions?

Blasphemy! Don't give credit to Perfect Dark: Zero, Area 51 is the game that started the Infection gametype.

But yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing an Infection gametype in H3.

Oh, sorry, I haven't had a chance to play Area 51. I personally think "Zombies" on Halo 2 really started it..

I just think it's the perfect setting for a Zombie gametype.. It'd fit the universe, and even story, really well.

Good thing I never said "Zomie".

What's wrong with the Zombies gametype on Halo 2?

I miss the mark of shame on my shoulder. :(

I had this same idea when playing PDZ. Would be awesome if the infected were Flood. People have been suggesting more playable characters and ths would be a way to integrate the Flood without mucking up multi-player...like having extra melee lunge or something would hurt the balance in a normal slayer game or whatever.

Maybe you could have "Flood arms" sticking out (or nothing visible?) and make it so the players could "Melee" and "Lunge" as if they had a sword, OR just give the flood a sword. Afterall, there are flood carrying swords in Halo 2.

Actually, it was "Time splitters" that started it (Virus mode)

I like the idea for it on Halo 3, It would be awsome to play Zombie with inforced rules.
