Halo 3 ranked play 'infected' for Halloween

As a treat for Halloween, Bungie has announced that for 27 hours they will be offering zombified playlists for online Halo 3 matches. "It is infection and it is the playlist of the Living Dead," said content manager Frank O'Connor.Infected gametypes pit human players against one or more "zombies," and although the humans start out advantaged, every fallen soldier comes back as a zombie. There are two main infected styles: Save One Bullet, which gives humans limited ammunition to expedite the failure process, and Creeping Death, which slows down the zombies but also makes them invisible. (A third variant, Creeping Rockets, was noted by Frankie where humans are more armed but zombies are more powerful.) The playlist is ranked, meaning you are more than welcome to use the time and rack up achievements.
All other questions should be directed at this F.A.Q. set up by Frankie (and protected by a demented guard dog, pictured). The playlist of the Living Dead kicks off tonight at 12:01 a.m. PDT (that's 3:01 a.m. ET) and remains in rotation until 3:00 a.m. PDT on November 1.

Infection is easily my favorite gametype in Halo 3.

Agreed though I hope Bungie's use of Forge for the maps removes some exploits where the humans could camp at one spot and pick-off zombies all day (unless weapon ammo is severely limited).

This is a great idea, though it would be greater if they extended the window, 27 hours is too short. Still, can't wait to shoot me some zombies!

Yes, it should definitely be permanent. Why only 27 hours?!?!?!
I m also pissed because my 360 isn't with me and won't be fore a while, so I can't play this tomorrow.

I agree; just add it to one of the playlists or make it its own playlist. I won't be able to play this because of work/school all day today and that sucks.

Let's hope it is enough of a success so they will include infection permanently.

I have the red rings...
I'm pissed that I have to miss a day of nothing but my favorite Gametype.

Same here :(

I feel your pain. I got 3RRoD 5 days after Halo 3 came out. On the bright side they may also send you a brand new 360.

I'm in the same situation. Maybe by some miracle, my xbox will return by then even though it was sent a week ago. Ha

Awesome. It's nice that they decided to do this, and it'd be fun if they made it permanent.
gonk @ Oct 31st 2007 12:09AM
yeah i saw this listed in one of the social gametypes, but there's usually not many people in the social types so I haven't tried this out yet
Sean @ Oct 31st 2007 12:05PM
Dude, that is awesome. I wish I wasn't doing things tonight so I could play.
punkasscrab @ Oct 31st 2007 2:49PM
