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

Hello. Reach is the first Halo game I have played and my style is mostly recreational.

tl;dr more kill barriers

My face when.

Anybody remember the days when maps actually relied on natural boundaries to define where you could or couldn't go rather than "LOLOLOL RETURN 2 THA BTTLFLD"?

Seriously, this is ridiculous. Why make that ledge so easily accessible (all you have to do is jump) if you're just going to put a barrier up there? If you don't want people getting up there, don't put it on the -blam!- map. At the very least, put it out of reach to the point where it's already kind of implied that we shouldn't be up there.


Agreed. Ridiculous how every campaign level has at least 1 trick jump that you can use to skip a good chunk of the level in but in MM all they ever do is "GWAHAHA KILLZONE DICK-SLAP"

Hello. Reach is the first Halo game I have played and my style is mostly recreational.

Why don't they just balance the zombie selection system so everyone is guaranteed 1 round as a human and 1 as a zombie, and not add all the damn killzones. Then the humans (A,B, and C) could camp on their turn and kill D, E, and F. And when the round ends and they become zombies A,B, and C would just have to deal with D, E, and F camping against them in return. If kids can't handle being force-spawned as a zombie they might as well quit or just hide if they don't want to mess up their K/D or Perfection.

Then you have fun racking easy kills for 1+ round as a human and also have to take some camping in return. I'd be willing to make this sacrifice for that 1 or 2 rounds of kills.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

Isn't there 12 people and only 3 rounds.

That way there would be 3 people who wouldn't be zombie every match.

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.


And by fun,you mean people camping in one spot and getting running riots on zombies funneling in right?

Sorry, but no.


yes, you twat.

That is the DEFINITION of Zombies.

God, it's like you kids never played H2 Zombies on Foundry.

I'm sure if Halo 2 had a forge and death barriers, Foundry would have been fixed.

They're making custom infection maps? -blam!- YES!!!!! That was one of my final problems with the game.

Hello. Reach is the first Halo game I have played and my style is mostly recreational.

What are they trying to do, rig it so the survivors cannot and never win? Sounds like there isn't a single location advantage left which is what zombies/survival is supposed to be about at its most basic. No matter what weapon you have you're going to be overrun if your location is poor.

There is one spot the OP has not mentioned is blocked but I'm afraid by saying it someone will report it to 343 and Infection will completely become a Slayer game with power weapons. Hopefully 343 will spare it considering it takes some skill to get to. They better.

Perhaps you know what I'm talking about by now? It's probably the one spot that hasn't been tampered with.

why couldnt they just create new forge world maps that you know, dont suck?


that is true. I don't see why 343 can't just go on forgehub test out some of the great maps posted up and upload them to reach matchmaking.

Gee. I'd say what they are trying to do, is take one of the derpiest gametypes we have, and making it so it takes something else besides sitting in a hidey hole all match and just surviving. Looks like it's going to take skill and effort to win now. Something that people have been demanding of every other playlist in Reach. Guess what? It's here now too. You might actually have to put some work into winning, oh noes!

Oh! I forgot to mention. These are the builds before they were submitted to 343, and approved. Chances are, 343 already has that spot taken care of. But don't worry, think of the satisfying feeling you'll get when you actually have to use your head to win, instead of "Herp derp, zombies can't get me, oh man, I AM SO GODDAMN GOOD AT THIS GAME".

Lol at 'they better'. Or what? You're gonna take Reach back? Gonna cry, take your ball, and go home? Here's a protip :

ADAPT

Edit : I didn't even look at your stats until now, but somehow, I knew, you'd have a k/d below 1. What do you know. 0.88. That might be a good number for time travel, but to me, it just shows you're one more bad kid whining the game takes more effort now.

Dolphins, man. Dolphins. They are gonna take over the world, and kill us all, man! THEY'LL KILL US ALL! Oh no, they will start with Gondile. Haha, hell if they are gettin' me! No way man, I'll kill 'em. I'll kill them all!!!

All I want is Infected Manor to make a come back. Remake it exactly as it was in Halo 3, throw it into matchmaking. I will die a happy man. (then I'll respawn and infect the humans)

Why is hypocrite spelled with an E at the end?
The I in crite is not pronounce as eye.

So, on the one hand I spell it out exactly as it should be.
You follow the standard set before you by fools who can't even get a handle on the rules of their own language.

they didn't even fix sword base.

holding down red lift is dumb. just have two guys stand at operations and you're invincible.

What would I do? I don't know, play a different gametype or MM with friends so we can still lock-down a room and get kills? I play Halo for fun, that explains my K/D. Living Dead was probably the last playlist left that had a potential to be biased-ly fun for the survivors.

I've already stated earlier; I'd be willing to take one round guaranteed as a zombie if I could have one/ two as a survivor on the old maps. It'd be a worthy sacrifice for me. Camp, and take some camping in return. I'd rather have the choice between "camp, survive" and "find a way around camping". Not choose between "get swarmed, die" or "get headshotted, die"

It's not worthy effort if you don't even have a chance to win.

You can't be serious. Depending on the map to save your ass isn't effort at all. It isn't skill. It you want to be a lazy ass and pad your stats with easy kills, go play Grifball.

  • 01.07.2012 5:08 PM PDT

It seems that you're mad.

Understandable.

I would be mad too if I couldn't understand half of the words the other person was saying.

lolinfection

If you play it for any sort of competition, you're an idiot.

Do I look like someone who "pads my stats with easy kills"? You've seen my 0.88 KD yourself. I play with friends, for fun. I just liked Living Dead as a relaxer. It replaced the old Elite Slayer as my "relaxer" playlist.

Are you joking me? To save your ass isn't skill with the new-and-coming changes? Wait until you're the last man standing and there's 11 super-speed zombies racing towards you. But, you haven't linked your GT so I have no idea how you do or how often you get the Last Man Standing.

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

i might actually give infection another try now.

That's when the game is the most fun. If you know a map well enough, you can run all sorts of routes taking out 2-3 zombies at a time while the others respawn.

As for my LMS medals, I have a whole lot more then 24, which is all you need to know.

  • 01.07.2012 6:27 PM PDT

I had my doubts, but the 8 maps look amazing.

Doesn't that just prove how much of a casual player I am? Feels like you've been missing a lot of the conversation.

Why isn't your GT linked?

And just as a reminder, people'll just find new camping spots if 343 removes the old spots. They did it back in 2010, we can do it again. If they don't close the playlist camping'll never end. Those of us out there who want to play zombies like it used to be will find a way.

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.
I have played a lot of infection, but these changes wont affect me since I didn't really camp lol. Also I might actually enjoy being a zombie now.
