All it needs is a big open Forge map and for Infection options to be back.


You mean Flood. That's the gametype now. It's Infection with new looks.


Yeah, I'm saying it needs the old Infection options (such as being able to change weapons, etc.)


Well, get ready, because it's going to be said over and over.

Halo 3 IS NOT Halo 4. It's dead, Jim. This is a new system, so we need to do the one thing we did with Reach...

ADAPT. If you want the old Infection gametype, then do yourself a favor, and slam the Halo 3 disc in, and have some fun.

I can safely say, it's not coming back.


This is quite a dumb post you've just made. I don't even like Halo 3 anyways, in fact it's my least favorite Halo game.

And 343 already said they will be updating the game frequently, modifying and adding gametypes. You can already disable the skin for the Flood, it wouldn't be hard to make it so they can hold a weapon other than a sword.

Currently 209k online. Halo 4 doesn't hold a candle to Reach, and Reach sucks.
reach was able to hold 500k for atleast 2 weeks after it's release.

Halo 4 can't hold that sort of population in one week after it's release.
You guys realize that Black Ops 2 just released, right?
black ops was released close to reach's release date, and it was still able to hold 500k.
Black Ops 1 released nearly two months after Reach.
it was still able to hold a large population after it was released.

5/22/10 HaloCharts Favs- Prey

Because Halo 3 died with lack of good forge maps on release . . .

hmm

Even Reach had more replayability for me.

OK, then what's the problem? You have what you want, just not WHERE you want it.

I need it WHERE I want it so I can WHAT I want.

The population is dead on Halo 3 and is nearly impossible to get people to play it. Solo isn't fun. Also, we need NEW maps to take off.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Everything dies BOS High Elder, it's the circle of life.

You need to calm down, all I said was I'd like a big Forge map and the old Infection options back.

I'm very calm mate. I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that I'm getting all worked up.

OK, and that's fine. May you get ALL you always want at the instant you want. All I'm saying is that Flood is the new Infection. And that's how it's going to stay. But, if you want your old types, you can make it yourself, get a bunch of buddies on, and carry on from there.

Nostalgia is fine, really is. But, it shouldn't be on a priority list.

The fact that you're jumping on me so badly for just saying what I'd like is why I'm saying you're a little too worked up...

A lot of people want Infection fixed, it was by far the most popular custom game in the previous games and it isn't that complex of a fix. It IS the stuff they should be working on, fixing up gametypes, adding new ones, etc. What else should they do?

Pretty much this.

Oh, and race.
Easy. Use Capture the Flag and make it so nobody can kill each other and you can make a modest Race gametype.

No, I'm not jumping on you for what you like. Again, I wish that you get everything you wish for the instant you wish for it. I really do. You're just acting like it's a new type. It's been done already. Time for a change.

Define a lot of people? From what I've been reading, it's pretty low on people's lists. So, I'm going to need to see some threads backing that one up.

And I hardly see how giving the infected a different weapon is really fixing/adding/creating a new type.

  • 11.17.2012 8:38 PM PDT

Here are some of the good old game types we will never see again:

Duck hunt

Cops and robbers

Any sort of race map

Fat kid

Get out of my house

Toilet bowl

And many others that we loved a lot.

Now here are some old game types that might come back but wont be the same:

Just keep driving

Laboratory Escape

Sword tournament

Trench warfare

Well those were some of my favorite game types that i wont enjoy as much as i did in reach. IMO, all of the maps meant for forge world suck. (ravine, erosion, im-pack) They are small, and have little to no inspiration for a good forge map.

What do you think should be a priority then, if not for adding improvements to gametypes a lot of people are asking for?

And did you play customs at all in Reach? Infection had a massive amount of gametypes and was the basis of many popular gametypes, such as Speed Halo, Race Halo, Ghostbusters, Cops and Robbers, Teacher, Duck Hunt, Teacher...

BO2 just came out, its numbers will swell again once people get tired of just playing Black ops.

It's not a living being, therefore it cannot die. HA! I think...

Nope. What they gave us was enough for me and my buddies.

What the priority should be is the fixes of the exploits on the maps. Without these, the new gametypes can be pointless because the same old tricks can be used to ruin the games. Ranked lists of any form can't be made with these exploits are around.

There is plenty on their list for them to worry about. More than revamping old gametypes.

Well, just because it's enough for you and your friends doesn't mean everyone is totally satisfied. A lot of people don't like Infection anymore because of its limited customization.

Also, you talk like it can only be one or the other. They are fixing map exploits extremely fast, they already got the one on Ragnorak. They have more than enough time and resources to update some playlists, especially considering the fact that they said they would.

  • 11.17.2012 8:52 PM PDT

It doesn't help that they destroyed the game's longevity in customs.

No Race or even VIP. No Assault for fun. Flood cannot be customized at all since the only weapon they are allowed to use is a sword. 343 just killed off 3 communities of gamers.

  • 11.17.2012 8:58 PM PDT

"I'm afraid of the man I'll become if I lay my life down for the people I don't even care for"

And Custom Games is what made Halo for me.....

All those crazy and retarded infection games in Halo 3......None of that in Halo 4.

Sigh.
