Subject: Anybody else think that the Alpha Zombies are stupidly underpowered?

I mean, seriously, either give us back regular evade or make a seperate playlist for regular infection.

We need less playlists, not more...

Nope.

Zombies have always had the short end of the stick, honestly. I mean, they get nothing but swords while the humans get Magnums and shotguns.

What we need is a ranked and social version of every playlist that can have a ranked version.

This of course leaves LD as an exception. A ranked Infection playlist would be laughable.

I just hate that I basically have to see my deaths pile up untill Im the juggernaugt that they call a human.

You want a sandwich? Sure. As long as you don't mind me putting poison in it.

Yeah. I use the AR, so what? All you can do is scream and rage about me using the weapon.

This is why, whenever I'm the Alpha Zombie, I don't mindlessly rush towards the survivors. I set a trap and wait.

  • 01.24.2012 2:29 AM PDT

Yah, but what if your on Sword Base or any other map and everybody is already in theyre camping spot, and they wont move. What then?

Again, set a trap and wait.
The lift is where everyones most likely to go and, more often than not, one or two survviors will get pushed up the lift or go up on their own free will. Thats where I spring my trap and infect them.

Im just not a big fan of camping as a zombie. Its stupid.

It's better than letting the survivors rack up the points.

<(-_-)> Teh mokey is not amused

I once won a game of infection with a +kd while being alpha zombie all three times. They are not underpowered, its just most people are stupid.

Indeed it does.

My only gripe Is not being able to get the achievements. The zombies are underpowered, but lag and numbers are the great equalizers.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

Alpha Zombies need some extra bonuses to get the ball rolling at the start of the round. Otherwise there's not much alpha about them at all.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

Living Dead as a whole needs better maps/gametypes. It was bad in Halo 3 and it's worse in Reach. Anyone who has played a good infection game in Halo 3/Reach will know this. Note I said "good" infection, which cancels out:
- 3 Levels
- Omega Journey
- Fat Kid
- Sky Castle
- 28 Days Later
- Close the Door

I you have intentionally wanted to play any of these maps/gametypes in either 3 or Reach your opinion is bad and you should feel bad (just kidding on the last part, but seriously those maps were garbage).

Camping has always been part of infection and games in general.

Here is the problem...people use Living Dead to KD pad cause its quite easy for humans....

-strip KD from the playlist
-add more COMMUNITY created maps

this will solve all problems...no one will camp casue kd plays no part...maps will be more original and not get boring...this will at least make the "fun" come back like Halo 3.

Nope

At least, not in any infection game worth mentioning.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

I hate being a zombie, so i never play LD anymore.

Actually, perhaps I should clarify: yes, camping (for the humans) can be beneficial to gameplay if designed correctly. However this part of the discussion involves the zombie being reduced to camping because of the abuse of the camping spots and glitches by the humans which is never good balancing and is not a staple of infection. LD is a very good example of how not to make infection maps.

Both horrible infection maps that are excellent examples of rose-tinted nostalgia glasses getting in the way of rational thought.
