I like infection but their are a lot of haters saying it takes no skill. After having playing it I have found that you actually need skill to avoid the rolling zombies and sword block otherwise in dodge-able attacks and recover. It takes even more skill to be a zombie as you have to sprint/evede towards shotgun weilding humans hoping not to die.

Please fill in the poll.

Skill and Infection should not be in the same sentence, unless there is a "not" somewhere in between.

There is no dislike option.

Hate is a strong word.

And "Don't mind" is too nice.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

It is almost like bragging about being good at Halo for beating a team of people that lack fingers.

It takes skill to be a good zombie; it takes almost no skill to be a human.

Banned just for calling someone retarded? lolBnet mods
Duardo = retard

So you think Reach is an actual Halo game, huh? LOL
Jesus! There's a BoB in ma Falcon!

I only like Infection simply because I can betray as many people as I like without getting booted.

Trolling FTW!

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

And you my friend are the kind of player that should get off Xbox live. Forever.

He's trolling.
On topic: I don't play Matchmaking Living Dead a lot. It's usually just a game or two every few days. However, I enjoy custom infection games, as long as they're more balanced than MM LD (kind of how I did with my Lab Workers gametype).

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

meh :/

not my favorite, fun sometimes though

Custom infection games are awesome, but matchmaking infection rarely stays fun after more than 2 games.

I'm here to have fun and win some games. Best part about Halo is easily the crazy custom games infection shenanigans that go on. If anyone wants to do some of these just hit me up on Xbox live.

Living dead is crap. I love infection though in private games on cool maps and fun gametypes like fat kid and speed halo, especially with all 16 people.

I dislike greatly what Reach has done to infection, but I still find myself in the playlist once or twice a month, hoping to find a spark of what made it so great for me in Halo 3.

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

Living Dead sucks.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

I assume you are referring to Living Dead, which has never been an indicator for good infection games. Good Infection games don't pretend to be skillful; the game shines with its atmosphere. That feeling when heading down a dark alleyway and your comrades are being picked off one by one, or frantically running for your virtual life from a boss zombie who is gaining on you.
