I wasn&#8217;t much of a fan of Infection\/Living Dead in Halo 3 or Reach, though I&#8217;ve played it in both. In Halo 3 it gained popularity by being a double XP weekend playlist from time to time. Since it was always available in Reach I just kind of ignored it, until that is I needed to work on my small arms commendation. (Of which I&#8217;m less than 120 kills away from that being Gold!)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Flood mode is a huge step forward in that your infected Spartan actually CHANGES. Okay, no animated change, but it&#8217;s not the same ol&#8217; spartan with recolored armor. No, now you play as a specially skinned flood infected spartan. Note in the video above when a person is infected there are thin tendrils coming into the HUD from the outer edges of the visor. Also, did you notice the pig-like squeal when a Flood died? LOL<\/p>\n<p>It really looks like 343 too the time to research what fans were playing and what they would likely want to see returning in Halo 4.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks 343!<\/p>\n<p>-Sal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IGN&#8217;s Ryan McCaffrey interviews Keen Franklin, lead multiplayer designer, of 343 regarding Flood mode in multiplayer.
