All Hallows Eve lurks at the tip of our fingertips (All Hallows Eve, Eve?) and Bungie is conjuring up a rather festive matchmaking playlist change-up for gamers to enjoy in Halo 3 tomorrow night.
If you’ve ever found your way into the custom matchmaking sector of Halo 3’s multiplayer, you might have discovered the cult-classic, community inspired variant called Infection. If you haven’t, well, check out Frank O’ Connor’s description:
Infection is this really great gametype, inspired by a custom game devised by our community in Halo 2, which we added official support for in Halo 3. In Infection, 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.
If you want to take part in the festivities, you can tune in to the ranked matchmaking playlists from 12:01 a.m. on October 31st to 3:00 a.m. on November 1st. Still not interested? O’ Connor notes that you may be able to pick up a few of those oh-so-elusive achievements:
Players will have some good opportunities to pick up a few of the harder MP achievements without any of that pesky guilt. Fending off the hungry dead is as righteous a way as any to score an Overkill.
