I wish there was more variety like the no shield super speed zombies with a cloaked alpha zombie. Also blakholephysic's "Mans Last Stand" is a pretty cool map/gametype combo if anyone wants to check it out. It's more for 6-8 players though if you make 2 or 3 starting zombies you could probably up it to 12

It did take a while to put a match together, but these are big 8-16 player games, so that's to be expected - and totally worth the wait; it's a great sight seeing a little cadre of zombies leaping up over the beach wall on Zomzibar, to be met by a blast of red laser death!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheIneptNinja Way to BLAM-over the east coast guys... a 3am release (EST)?? So the rest of the world gets effectively 2 nights to play the Infection list, while the Eastern US gets one night. You realize that some people have jobs right? And that the vast majority of online population is east of the mississsippi? You look at that fancy map in matchmaking once in a while right? I was really looking forward to getting some of the medals for my chest, but I feel kinda cheated on the time frame. I know alot of people on the east coast who feel the same. [/quote] I live in the Eastern Time Zone, i stayed up til 3 to play it, i overslept my first class due to a bad alarm clock... i'm still happy its in matchmaking even if i dont get a full time to play... the only "problem" i have is although it is really intense and the map variants are really really sweet its not the infection i remember (i'm trying to say this without making it sound like i'm whining) zombies used to be massing flesh heaps that blindly attacked, knowing most of them would be mowed down, with only a pistol to defend themselves

I love this playlist!!!! I wasted like an hour trying to get 2 people in but i finally figured only 1 can join on an xbox! It's a bit annoying that the zombies have sheilds and are invisible, it's almost impossible to win as the humans, it should of been one or the other. I was kind of expecting there to be like halloween suits of armor and pumpkins for grenades or orange or black for smoke trails for the sniper rifle, rocket launcher, missile pod, grenades, and brute shot. But still I love that infection is in matchmaking and ranked! I look forward to seeing what else you come out with. Please come out with a ranked snipers game, without the shottie. Also I don't think very many people knew about this seasonal change, there are only like 10 thousand people playing it. [Edited on 10.31.2007 7:40 AM PDT]

quick question, what maps are going to be used. more then likely Last Resort and High Ground, but there will more then likely be more? come on Bungie, spill it.

There was some really lame playlists on halo 2 for a while that was ranked so i wouldnt be suprised if by the bungie staff review our crys for them to keep this playlist for them to make it happen so we dont know what bungie will hold in the future but I think they should at least start a poll on this playlist whether we should keep it or not lets do this after my post just put yes our no and why they should keep the playlist or should not either way at least will know our opinion on the matter.. put 1 zom 2 zom 3 zom yes maybe no please explain the reason why u chose this ,,,,<<<thank youWay to BLAM-over the east coast guys... a 3am release (EST)??

I know alot of people on the east coast who feel the same.[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TEAM HOLT Why isn't Infection, as well as all the other game modes that came with the game, in the playlists by default? Playing vanilla Slayer and Shotty Snipers all the time gets boring, doubly so when you just get bounced between the same two or three maps over and over again. They're game modes that shipped with the game, they should be supported by matchmaking.[/quote] I completely agree 100% on this one, while I do enjoy Bungie matchmaking I can't help but feel a little bullied by this technique. I love infection but it takes a lot of coordination offline to get enough of my friends on-line at the same time to make the game type worth it. Bungie I appreciate the love of trying to do something different with the differernt holidays and while it keeps things fresh I just feel cheated, Infection was such a popular player created game type in Halo 2 that you actually created it to be supported by Halo 3, why can't we keep our playlist??I swear Bungie could give everyone black recon armor with a flaming head and someone would complain that the contrast between the flames and the black gives away their position. Is there ANYTHING we can just be happy about? Infection is fun, if it's not your cup of tea don't play it. I never liked zombies in H2 but this has my seal of approval. I hope we keep it around for more than just a day, if even just a social version. Good job Bungie and thanks for making a fun thing for us to do at 3:00am. Edit: Christmas game must include a sleigh on Valhalla. I want to make a screen shot of me as santa, and someone as the red laser nosed reindeer flying across the map. Thanks Giving.. put all the complainers that have no basis on the same chopping block as the turkeys, and turn the hammer into an axe. [Edited on 10.31.2007 6:03 AM PDT]This should stay till the weekend. I wonder what game type Bungie will put out on Christmas and Thanksgiving?What a blast! ^_^ I'm having a blast playing this playlist. It's always fun to hear people just before the game starts "i hope I'm not a zombie!" I don't have any complaints. Helps you work on your lazer aiming. Unlimited rockets is nice also. Never had so much fun with other people. "-blam!-, we're the last 2 up here." "-blam!-, this is scary!!" "BRAINS!!!" And also seeing 12 other people just going after one person. He probably needs to change his pants when he sees a whole army coming at him. I became the last one standing in the middle of Guardian and I was scared when I saw all the red dots around me. Went and looked at in Theatre and saw I had enemies coming from everywhere at me. I was laughing when I saw it. Thanks Bungie!!!good stuff, I'm hella excited to play tonightWell, at first I thought "Oh cool", but after a few games I have this to say: What an awful choice of gametypes! Shotguns and lazers, without the ability to pick up new weapons? When the zombies have shields? What were you thinking? It is far too easy as a zombie, and far too hard as a human. Please, please add some plain old Infection, or at least give the humans a fairer chance!Couple of Gripes... 1. Zombies are way too difficult. The fun of zombies is to be able to get tons of kills. Its becomes quite monotonous. If this was planned, so be it... But it's not that fun. 2. Invisible...? 3. Bonus points for last man standing.Well, just tried to play this gametype but seems i cant. took about 5 mins to find a game with max players and when it did it restarted the search. It did this 3 times before i turned off my xbox as i gave it up as a bad job. Any ideas on why? i've had no problems playing slayer etc in the past.Yea i hate makin a custom for Zombies i just wanna play i dont care if its social or invisable zombies. great job bungie zombies ftw! p.s. if i did something wrong i dotn no how to post =pCan't wait for New Year's, Grunt Birthday Party on Spartans !!!!I'm having problems with partying up and joining too. PLEASE fix this. BTW I REALLY like this new variant for ranked matches. PLEASE BUNGIE....KEEP IT!Its -blam!- me and friend wait in room for like 15 minutes and it cant find anyone. Ive got to play 1 game that was it and that was from 10 minutes of waiting played for 5 havent played a game since and tried for over hour now. Yet Bungie claims 15k people onlineWhen I search by myself I get matched up every time but when I'm in a party with anyone it goes nowhere.So we should just play it and be quite about how silly they made some of the gametypes? Thats really thoughtful response. If this were a map or another game from Bungie, i wouldn't be whining, and i would be playing. BUT making a gametype takes all of 45 seconds. They decided to do about the only thing wrong they could do, and give the zombies shields and damage resistance. Invisibility is hardly a problem, its when everything is stacked that it becomes silly. Fortified zones do pretty much nothing when all the zombies have hammers and damage resistence.whinge whinge...moan...whinge. Quit whining. Get playing. If you get your human comrades to work better as a team in the first place you should easily be able to hold off even invisible badass zombies - that's why there are fortified zones for you to hold.
