First of all, i know its probably been posted, but there is no search function so forgive me...
I belive it was in a bungie weekly update that frankie (i belive) said that they could not update the game with an infection game type, a game type commonly known as zombie, rez evil, etc, in which players swich from the "humans" to the "zombies" when they are sword killed by a zombie. This was due to the fact that they could not change the source code to force players to change form one team to another.
Now is their chance to do so. They have open acess to halo 3's code, so they could include this as a matchmaking playlist, or atleast for a custom game type. However, i ask them not to stop at swords. Go full on with flood types. Once a player is killed, they depending on the character modle (spartan or elite) would become their respective flood types. Flood would simply have the same controls as weilding the energy sword. RT to lunge, B to slash.This would, simply put, be awsome.
In addition to that, in custom games, the host should have the abillity to decide whether flood types may weild weapons or drive vehicles.
I certainly hope this is included in halo 3.

I think your idea is great.

only make the left trigger be the whip instead of grenades because I have never seen a flood throw a grenade

You face an opponent who has never known defeat, who laughs in foreign tongues at your efforts to survive. This is Reply suicide.

You could even have the Flood "infection" forms run around.

You know, start the game as a huge bloated walking one, then detonate and become one of the infection forms!




Sorry, I like the idea of being an infection form and latching onto a host.

It'd work great with "no shields". Ha ha.

if that happened, the game would go like this, spawn, run, die, repeat.
fact of the matter is, it would have to be 100 vs one

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

What about jumping: would you get the super jump abilities when you are a combat form?

This idea is amazing!!! I love playing Zombies and an Infection gametype would be amazing!!! I don't think it should be ranked though. But there should definately be a gametype where everyone starts off as a Spartan or Elite except for one person who starts off as a Combat Flood and has to use flood attacks and the the flood abilities to "infect" the other players. If nothing else at least add forced team switching! PLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEE BUNGIE!!!!!!!

This might be fun, but if Bungie did this for Zombies, then what about other rule games? Tremors, Hide and Seek, etc. I personally dont like Zombies that much, Slayer usually does it for me. But these ideas are creative, so keep it going.

Hears what should happen, every 1 starts as an elite on spartan and theres LOADS of infection type flood over the map(dont stop spawning till end of game but set to a certen amount. Even a choice of how many are on map) and at first every 1 just has to surrvie the infections untill a player becomes infected then they become a shilded flood that has all the ablites like huge jumps wall climing wip ect. the game end when all the players become infected or the end of a time limit. Flood shouldnt dual wield but can drive all sea and land vichles not air thow.

I agree. I always loved playing Zombie! This idea would be really fun.

Awesome, zombies is my fav custom game. The way you could respawn as a flood is when a infection form reanimates your dead body. If your body is destroyed, you just respawn normally. It would be cool if you could also play as a carrier form to explode, damage enemies in the process, and reanimate dead comrades with the infection forms.

They should fix the sword, it was really retarded when you were falling down then swung at some guy on top of you and it made you fly in the air.

This idea sounds really awesome. Zombies/Resident Evil is my favorite custom game, I think it would be awesome to take the zombies gametype one step further and make it so you become flood when you get killed.
