Zombies Invade 'Halo 3'

[darth los]

Tonight, starting at 12:01, the undead are invading Halo 3 in the form of a new multiplayer game!

That's right, for 27 horror-filled hours, Infection will be a playable multiplayer game! Just pick The Living Dead Playlist and you're off.

To get you ready, here are the rules: Most players start off on a Human team, with one or more players starting off as Zombies.

The odds are stacked heavily against the Zombies at first, but when a Human is killed by a Zombie (as they inevitably are), they join the Zombie team and turn on their former teammates. There are two main variants: Save One Bullet, (less ammo, meaning eventually, the zombies will get you) and Creeping Death, where the enemies are slower, but invisible... and deadly.

The Living Dead playlist will be the first to use Forge variants in Matchmaking.


Not much time left guys. Get on it !!

Is it on Pacific time because as of right now it is not there.

[darth los]

It's nice that they say its there, but in reality its not, it is only under custom games and you have to invite people to play. It appears nowhere under playlists or any place else.


It's not!?! What a gyp! :mad: I haven't even bought the game myself yet. I've been way too busy. If anybody gets to play it let me know how it works out. I just thought i'd post this to give you guys the heads up being the extemely short time it's supposed to be available.

damn...still haven't gotten the proper fundage for my 360 yet, so i'm gonna miss out on this one...maybe it'll be popular enough and they'll bring it back in the future.

That's what friends are for you know. It's a rare event when one is in a position to actually help you out. Take full advantage. lol

[Danny]

i downlaoded my gold live account and gamertag off the net onto his so its got all my achievements adn stuff, adn new ones, hence why my gaemrtag purple...thing below this says halo 3 on it, then when i get my 360 (lenoard) back from the shop in ....9 days time then i hook it back up to the net adn get it on mine.
plus weve got a new route with 4 ethernet ports, which means im gonna have live 24/7, shame i lsot 3 months of my subscription, but thats only like 6 quid down the drain, ho-hum.

Its up, and I've been playing it for a while, its great! Just got to Matchmaking>Playlist>Halloween>Living Dead.

[Danny]

im getting my sidekick off blogcast to bring his 360 round later after we go see *sighs*...saw 4...:bored:

-which means y'all can challenge me on halo t'night.

They definatly put it up on pacific time then, because I last checked at 2:30 am eastern before I went to bed and it wasnt there. Thats why I edited my previous post (aparantly as darth los was posting a reply). As soon as I get back from the comic shop I am hitting this and playing until the kids start knocking... then givin out some candy and going back to killing some zed heads.

[darth los]

If anybody can capture some video and post it please do. I'd love to see what it looks like.

Bungie added a nice touch by putting up barriers (barrels, crates, wood planks) at strategic points on the Zombie maps, so that the survivors can group together while trying to hold them off. Its a shame this mode only lasts till tonight.

[darth los]

Who knows, if it's popular enough they might keep it around or some type of variant of it.

[Danny]

did anyone actually get to play it?, i spent two hours in the lobby waiting for players before i figured id much rather jsut play the regular game.

[CoinReturn]

...you do realize that you have to hit "Start Matchmaking" while in the lobby, and then you automatically match up with other players. It takes about 30 seconds.

[DeadJonas190]

I played it for quite a while yesterday. It was fun, but the humans did what they always do, not follow direction or a plan so they died.

I was only in one game where the humans won, every other time they lost becuase of people not listening or using teamwok. It really reflected what happens in the GAR movies lol.

Oh, and the zombies were just darkgrey/black versions of whatever your character looks like.

I was playing last night and the Living Dead game type had over 35,000 people playing. I just found it odd that you spent two whole hours waiting.

[darth los]

Maybe he was blackballed on account of his rabid ninty fandom. j/k :p

[Danny]

huh, that didnt really come off as jokey sarcasm,

-anyway, i was in the lobby for 2 hours, it wouuld find 3 or 4 people then timeout and not one game got started.:mad:
