I do.
Back in the good ol' days of Halo 2, players created the first version of 'Infection' or 'Living Dead'.
All the players but one would start on the Red team with just a shotgun, and a sword as the secondary.
The lone Blue would use just the sword and try to 'infect' the Red team one by one, players would change teams to the Blue once killed by the Blue player.

- THE POINT OF THIS THREAD-
While all of this was going on, players would go ANYWHERE they could to avoid the Blue player(s), jumping onto whatever was around to get any sort of advantage on the 'zombie(s)'.
What happened to that?
Even in Halo 3, Bungie felt the gametype was fun enough for Matchmaking, and made a set of rules for it.
Those rules did NOT include "don't go up there, that's not fair" by placing 'kill zones' or 'invisible walls'.
Players had to simply man up, and deal with it.
That's how infection should be played.

I hate playing infection in Reach, with all the neat places you can jump to, but every single one has a god damn 'soft kill' on it.
Hell, sometimes you don't even have to jump to find a 'soft kill', some maps have them behind certain rocks and/or trees.
And on rooftops? Why bother building these awesome looking structures, only to say "hey, get off of that" with a damn 'soft kill'?
WTF? Excuse me, but in a zombie apocalypse, I'm not going to run around looking for zombies, are you stupid?
You find high ground, and hold your own, until you eventually run out of ammo. Then you get eaten by zombies, or punch your way out.

Infection isn't supposed to be zombie friendly. This retarded crap in Reach is just stupid.



I realize Bungie has no way to fix this, but I'm not going to 343, their website is crap.



tl;dr
Old infection is the best.
This Reach crap is stupid.

Thanks for reading.

They block off the camping spots because people with 4.0 KDs have their TOD as pistol and shotgun AKA not earning their stats.

I'd almost agree that that's the reason they put up barriers, but then you look at Grifball...
If they blocked spots in Living Dead because of peoples stats getting boosted, they might as well shut down Grifball.

BOOM HEADSHOT!!!!

I agree infection should not be limited. I absolutely loved halo 3 infection.

When we joined The Covenant we took a oath; according to our station all without exception. On the blood of our fathers on the blood of our sons we swore to uphold that oath even to our dying breath.

My old Halo 2 account is Devil brothers

Halo 2 infection on Foundation was and still is the best way to play zombies imo.

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

I loved Halo 2 infection for one reason:

To join custom games, change to brown team and kill everyone.


In other words, infection has always been garbage.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

Blue? Dear Sir, the zombies were green!

Also it was shotgun/magnum most of the time. Really fun when I hosted because I could guardian myself without trouble.

Ah the gool ol' days.

Prolonged exposure to this forum is bad for your health.

because I like pen­is.

Kids these days cried about the ledge on sword base -.-


Lemme build a time machine and make them play infection on foundaton H2 style.


Then they'd have a legitimate reason to cry.

Take the zoom of of the pistol only in infection, and everyone will stop complaining.
