Before I say more, just know that, in this post, I am not for nor against playing infection. Whenever I look at a map, there is a 99.99% chance it will be an Infection map. I'm real tired of seeing the same old thing. Where's the assault, slayer, etc. maps?
is this bait for me to blatantly advertise my maps? If so...look at my sig Anyway, I just look at the competitive section, where there aren't as many infection maps.
I don't really think infection maps are fun to make. They all just end up being impenetrable bases or mazes. I'm working on two maps that are meant for assualt/ctf. I'd release them if i could actually find some testers.
i agree, lots of infection maps are made. However, nd like al capwnage said, my maps arnt TOO infectionous. Out of my six: Master Hand: Assault 180- Battleground ZERO: Assault Coliseum: Infection Base Raiders: Assault Overpass: Infection, slayer, KoTH... anything really X-MEN: Halonaut: Assault, CTF, Infection, Slayer... again, anything. And my seventh map, which, as said in my sig, launches 4.25.08, is my biggest and it is my first Legendary Map. It is a replica of the AT-AT from Star Wars and is both aesthetic as well as completely playable. It will be set up for CTF, Assault, Slayer, KoTH, Juggernaut and VIP... Infection if u really want to, but not really... so in total i have 2 maps specifically designated for infection and 2 tht r optional... so im not completely infection, but i know what u mean...
Idiots love infection because its a gametype where camping with the shotgun isnt frowned upon (as much) They being idiots can make things blatantly impossible ie impenetrable base and the zombies are piss slow,giving them a chance to show off their "l337" sniping skillz. Also infection has that cool biohazard sign so of course they love it. They get to use the sword as there primary weapon when they die?I wont even field that one as far as idiots are concerned. And of course when they turn thirty...or three depending on the "n00b". They get a mid-life crisis and decide they must make something....A MAP!!!!! They then procede to dump **** together in a heap with no thought of strategy etc and then post it to bungie.net who unwitingly have sicked the masses upon us by mentioning FH on the site and by inviting them to the humpday(im not lambassing FH geting into humpday etc but thought i'd point out its major publicity whether its good or not) Unfortunately idiots will always outnumber god mapmakers ergo the 99.99%..... That about sum it up? I hate most infection maps aaswell...i do like infection as a minigame tool tho to make one mass of people have different attributes. And swoozh send me a FR ill help test when im on.
yes, impenitrable bases and armories are my two biggest forge pet peeves. It shows the person put no thought in. Take my best friend for example. He adores infection.All his maps r infection. They all have armories and huge, impenitrable bases. I hate his maps. So when i made my map overpass with him, we argued over weapons and all. Luckily, the map isnt a huge base nd zombies easily get around, however, the second he started placing weapons i flipped and made him stop :] so luckily, the map has no armory and huge base :] yay for arrogance!!!
the problem is mostly in custom games people play infection or griffball. I hate fortress infection maps or ones where its possible to hide behind a teleporter. I did sabotage one guys forge when he build an actuall fortress map that was fully sealed, while he was sealing the entrances I was going tound behind underminning the barricades just enough so you couldnt notice but it was useless as a block, it was really funny because for weeks he played it and couldnt figure out why everytime I was there the zombies could get in. Ive kept most of my maps infection map free Stunt School series = driving LOTR Helms Deep (unreleased on here) = assult Danger Run (unrleased here)= assult Raccon City 1 =infetion Psychos Funhouse = puzzle Takeshi's Castle = infection variant
Yeah there isn't...but its not like first time posters follow the rules so it doesn't really work out too well
Well, infection maps are always the same no matter what. Even if you reshape the whole map and trash the gametype, it's not gonna change. That's the failure of Infection games. It had ceased to interest me for a long time already...
Yeah everyone bought halo and was "holy ****!They paid attention and made it a real gametype!!!" Then it just got repetitive because you no longer needed a bunch of people you trusted enough not to cheat....and now it overshadows everything in customs.... /em sadpanda Altho it has made things like hobo heights and the swings better so as a tool its nice
The people here are right. Infection IS for n00bs who love camping with their "radicul gunzzz" of the sword. Although the biohazard sign is amusing, as stated by my good buddy, Supa Midget, the gametype is too n00b friendly. I'm sick and tired of all the map sections, bar racing, flooded with horrible infection maps.
Well, if you don't want Infection maps, go to... Competitive. I got fed up with Infection after the first 12 armouries I played on, so I stay right out of casual.
if an infection map is done well it shouldnt allow camping and should give people a chance Hence the one I made which caters for the barricade lovers but in reality they may as well be made of tissue cause thats as much good as they do. Ive played some damn good infection maps ones that kept you on edge and made you trigger happy firing on anyone that came round a corner buit Id say 90% of the infection maps Ive tried have been fortreses be they sky forts barricaded rooms or even teleporter jumps 90% of them were made to camp not to move. It would be good as a social playlist not ranked and bungie would seriously have to look at the maps to stop any camping
Today my this guy on my friends list sees me making a map and wants to see it..and so I show him. Hes like I made a cool infection map (I think oh god) and he decides he wants to show me it. Blackout+gloomy+random pieces of scenery+zombie that took a clip and 3 melees from a shotgun..oh god is right.
thts what i h8... when i first saw the nova filter i was like, damm here comes a ***t load of infection maps with "1337 infection BLIND map, AWESOMEEZZZ!!!" nd i was right... so yea its pretty annoying...
I am done with infection. I will be in the custom games lobby with 4-15 other people and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them is like,"omg I have teh best map here". So if we have a benign enough leader (not likely), he/she will let them do their map. First off, there is a 9/10 chance it will be Omega Journey, if any of you have ever had the displeasure of playing it. Basically: Super slow /near invincible alpha zombie who makes other people into fast, super weak zombies. Humans bash their way through a maze of barriers and crap with every power weapon under the sun. To enter the maze, there is a single teleporter, which completely screws every new zombie because it is a n00b seat.And get this: Once you reach the end of the maze, there isn't anything except a hole to the roof where you run around and camp. This is such a prime example of my hatred for infection maps, it is the only one I'll talk about. Oh, and halfway through the game, nearly all/all the zombies quit. This is a real tickoff if I'm due for next party leader. I have come across a few good infection maps, but oh so precious few. The only thing infection has served me for is my first published map(even though the concept is completely different). It needs to be abolished...or something. /end rant
I hate those types of infection maps...Fat boy is horrible and all there is now is the maps that are bases that aren't fun for the zombies at all. and to voivod84, you're playing the wrong gametype of omega journey...you're playing fat boy,which isn't fun = / The real version gives humans brute shots and energy swords, where the zombies have pretty much full health and move at 250% speed or something...and it was impossible to camp. With 12 people or so, the map is actually fun and I had people ask if I could do it again 4 times in a row, both the people that were often zombies or stayed humans for the most part.
actualy Im going to do a blind infection variant without using the filters, Im going to have everyone the same even the same weapons and colour, no radar except for the zombie. In essence its going to be a murder mystery map where rather than the zombie massacring everyone its all about cunning and it relys on teamwork to find the zombie, and cunning on the part of the zombie to kill without being found, so less an infection map more a murder mystery game as everyone including the zombie only has one life. the things I never want to play infection on again Stairway to heaven Sky fortress hidden fortress close the door Ultimate close the door Omega Journey Should I stay Alley wars
