Subject: There are going to be so many mad kids on Tuesday.

After taking a tour of the new Infection maps first hand, so many kids are going to whine and cry. All there favorite camping spots are gone, there are destructible barriers up all over the place on the indoor maps (that take 3 shotgun blasts/melees as a human to knock out, while one swing from an energy sword will do for the zombies). These maps finally make me want to play Living Dead.

Some of the changes :

Spooky Base : Pallet barriers in front of almost all of the doors. That goddamn -blam!- hole of the Red Lift hall is COMPLETELY blocked off. Every single ledge is a killzone now (Sorry Rofl)

Uncongealed (Uncaged) : That little ledge under the main platform, blocked. The glass wall people used to get on the roof, gone. All of the paths are broken up.

Deadwalk : The top of the flagpole, and the ledge on the other side of the glass wall, killzoned.

Pandemic (Reflection) : Pallet barriers over the doors. The ENTIRE entire elevator shaft and it's hallways and balconies are not only blocked off, but killzoned, leaving only the main, open area to play in.

I haven't even looked at the Zealot and Powerhouse variations yet, but I am assuming they have much the same changes. The thing that makes me laugh the most, 343 had to depend on the community to cover their asses and fix the maps.

Here's the thing, these maps don't suck. They actually give Infection that feel that it did in Halo 3.

Edit : I will gladly link them if you want to take a look yourself.

It's about time they changed the maps around. Honestly, these tricks were old and boring day three of the playlist.

Can't wait to read both here and 343i forums. Tuesday is gonna be fun.

These maps suck. Living dead's population will be killed. 343 doesn't get it, we want FUN fore world maps. Not these pallet filled slayer maps. Damn just give us mansion or something.

New maps and still broke gameplay system in the playlist is a fail by all means.

Honestly, with the way these maps are laid out, I won't even think of betraying team mates for the hell of it like I used to. I want every other piece of bait, I mean, team mate alive.

So in other words, they'reremaking game plays to suit their style and giving tue players that played the game because how it is is how they like it, a big middle finger? Im shocked.

So they have no interest in fixing simultaneous deaths during a bull true, or friendly fire, auto spawn as a zombie on accidental suicides, of respawn from human to zombie when some one quits. Yep....big honking, dorito encrusted middle finger.

The whole point of infection is to get to a good camping spot to funnel the zombies.

The changes sound dumb.

My biggest problem with the updates is that they wasted their time with fixing zombies when important things need to be worked on.

Yes, but it's supposed to have a sort of 'horror movie'-esque feel to it.

Holing up in a temporary sanctuary is one thing; it has that feel of being just that - temporary. You'll be overrun eventually.

The bottom part of 'The Cage' didn't have that feeling. You got there, you were pretty much invincible until the game ended, like a permanent Armor Lock. It made the game so damn boring. I did it myself, and yeah, even being the one that's holed up there is boring. There was no challenge. That's the point of the game; seeing how long you'll last. If you have that much of an advantage, you'll never die.

BUT, that's my only gripe. The glass trick was annoying too but not nearly as broken as the bottom area.

The community made the maps.

And it's a very popular playlist apparently so 343 might see it differently in terms of keeping ppl on this game.
