Listed below are ideal general gametype options that would help create a universal infection gametype for the community to modify to their liking. I figured it was best to round up all useful infection gametype options and scoring options. These settings basically encompass all of the infection settings that we've had in previous Halo titles (Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Halo 4, Halo 2: Anniversary) and also Halo 5's settings that are already coded into the game.

Consider this a checklist of settings that should be present in Halo 5's base infection gametype in order to avoid setbacks or limitations for players creating infection gamtypes.

Gametype settings marked with "*" are either new or modified options that would be extremely useful in creating infection gametypes and infection based minigames alike, while also fixing minor problems with past titles.
