Ugh, so I haven't played much halo for a while and recently I've picked it up again. I started playing Living Dead (insert lol infection n00b comments here), and I realized that a lot of the maps were messed up. They had altered SFX's, new objects, rotated objects, more kill barriers, and new names. Now they did such a half-assed job at making these maps that I literally though that some hackers got through the system and was screwing with 343i. But oh no, it was 343i who made these maps. Seriously, I could make better modifications by putting the controller against my ass. The only reason I played Living Dead was too relax and shoot some zombies in unfair camping spots and too try and defeat the odds by sneaking around a zombie and eating some brainz with my trusty energy sword. One of the biggest disappointments was the absence of betrayals. Yeah, I know im going to get flamed hard for claiming to enjoy betraying people, but i mean it's pretty fun to piss people off in shooters.
Living Dead was supposed to be a social playlist where people could get insane killstreaks, troll, and ninja people but now it's just utter crap. Matter in fact, I'd rather play infection on MW3!!! Now, idk about you but in my opinion 343i could have done a lot better with the power they have and added some user created content or create some of their own forge world maps. Sure Bungie sorta gave us the bird and barely listened to our complaints, but at least they would only kill the insanely unfair camp spots and not ruin the entire game mode. I guess I'll just have to stick to custom games and the other game modes :/

R.I.P. Living Dead

Let me get this straight:

You're complaining about imbalances in a playlist meant to be unbalanced?

Huh.

No, I'm complaining about a fun playlist turning into a boring playlist. But, I guess you could say that I like the unbalanced characteristics of it =P. If i wanted to play a balanced game mode I'd play a Slayer gametype

Slayer? Balanced?

The only gametypes that are balanced in Reach are Snipers Pro, SWAT, Grifball, and some sport gametypes in Action Sack like Hockey. Oh yeah, and anything in MLG. That's about it.

i dont think, i drink

254th Inheritor in Reach 23-07-2011, 5th in AUS

the only good thing they change was the betrayals, i know a lot of people who say that it was fun to betray but when other people betrayed them back they cry like little -blam!-es.

community made maps in the playlist are just awful

Now that I look back at it I miss the betrayal sprees.

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

Personally, I hated how boring it was playing infection on the standard set of maps: that isn't fun or varied. Although, I never played infection because I didn't find it fun to begin with.

I went back to Halo 3. Best choice I've made for a while.

Griffball and Swat are all host.

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

I only miss the betrayals, everything else is okay I guess, except anything Sword Base related must die in a fire.

well sword base is fine now that the ledge is a kill barrier, but living dead really has been ruined with the updates. the new maps suck, they discourage camping for both sides, which may be a good thing but part of the fun in infection is camping in a big group knowing people have your back when a zombie comes, and zombies are now at a higher disadvantage

Fair play

I used to betray the campers, that had more kills than I did, and were sitting in a game breaking spot.

Camping in a group is fine by me, mainly because I do it, and it is the only way humans can win cause if everyone keeps running around zombies pick them off one by one and then the last man standing gets swarmed by 11 zombies and then he/she has no chance.


Put people who camp in spot's that break the game need to be put in a closet with scorpions thrown on top of them.

Also, do you really need to be such an @$$hole is there?

I mean are you that angry that you have to ruin everyone's game, just cause they don't play the way YOU do?

I thank god every day my current generation hasn't had to deal with any serious wars like the past generations have. we would lose in a heartbeat with all the selfish. rude, uncouth, moronic, anti-authority @$$HOLES, who can't get their heads out of their own @$$es long enough to give their brain time to breath in something other than the smell coming off their own bowels....which probably explains why they are so angry all the time, though.


And yeah i am a little "Butt Hurt".

However, I have ever right to be upset about people like this who think that they can do whatever they want and treat other people as if they are beneath them.

even if it is "Just a game". People don't just change their behavior when playing a game, if they are an @$$hole playing the game, they are going to be an -blam!- during real life as well.

And here come the immature children again...

lolinfection

Infection was treated as a gametype sent by the gods in Halo 2. Now it is nothing but a stat padding playlist.

Honestly, this is a good cover up for all the idiots who won't know its a cover up .

Actually 343 didn't make those maps, they just put them into the game. Same with all new maps.

I remember Delta Facility was around for about a year before the TU, as I used it in a machinima.

If you hate the maps, yell at the brain-dead forgers who made them, then yell at 343 for being dumb as a sack of hammers.
