'Κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ, Υἱὲ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἐλέησόν με τὸν ἁμαρτωλόν.'

What are your thoughts on Halo 4's version of Infection--called "Flood"? I personally think that it is probably matchmaking's WORST gametype. It is highly unbalanced and somewhat broken, favoring the infected too much and making it very hard for the humans to survive. The reasons for this are that the infection maps are too small, and thus, there are not enough places to hide or escape too--especially when you are the last man standing. And, because the pistol is vastly underpowered and thus you cannot really defend yourself from a farther distance. Also, because the zombies can boost at you. I think that out of all these issues, the worst one is the map selection. We need larger maps with more places to hide. Surviving as the last man standing is practically impossible because of this, whereas in Halo 3 it was possible.

Just terrible.

Flood should have been a variant of Infection. Not the whole gametype.

I think that most of it is fine, it's just the thruster pack that breaks it most of the time really, it sends the flood way too far

Also, being able to slash while in the third person view only makes it worse on the humans since the flood don't even need to go directly at them. Other than those game breaking problems I think it's fine.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Remove the thruster pack AA and give them sprint.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Silly people asking for options, you play the way 343i wants you to play.
