New MW3 Community Playlist “Infected” Coming Feb 5 on Xbox 360 and PS3

4.5
Robert Bowling has announced on the official forums that Modern Warfare 3 will receive its second community playlist, Infected, this weekend on February, 5th.

After the introduction of Drop Zone to positive feedback, Infinity Ward wanted to keep rotating playlists in Modern Warfare 3 for the community. Infected is one of the fan favorite private gamemodes. The new playlist will be added on Xbox 360 and PS3 this Sunday. However, PC players have to a bit longer; no date was given on when it will be added.

Game Structure
10 seconds into the match, the game will pick you as “the infected” or one of the survivors. Bowling explained, “the game ends when either all players have been turned into infected or the game timer ends. A Survivor’s goal is to stay alive until the game ends, however, if you’re turned Infected, your goal is to turn all other survivors into infected by killing them.” Each side will be assigned to specific loadouts, but different variations of the gamemode will rotate. In terms of points, Bowling stated “you will receive 100 points per kill (whether you’re a survivor or infected). Survivors receive an additional 100 points each time an infected kills another survivor.”

The following are the loadout specific gamemodes in Infected with the frequency of matchmaking in parenthesis as shown on the forums:

Yay! Personally, this is the only thing I find fun about MW3!

THEY REALLY NEED TO TAKE THIS AWAY FROM LEADERBOARDS JUST BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE INFECTED YOUR K/D WILL BE MESSED UP.
THAT THROWING KNIFE ON ALL INFECTED WHO **** RETARD DECIDED TO PUT THAT

I personally find this really fun, it's nice to play when you get too annoyed with "proper" game modes. Plus the best thing about it is since it's come out I've gone from getting 40-50 messages/game invites a day from people that don't have their own friends to play with about joining Infected Lobbies to 0. It's a nice change.

It's a shame that the kills and deaths count towards it though. My K/D went from a 2.1 to a 2.03 in only a couple of hours worth of games...

Westiee I dont see why they got rid of Drop Zone, I loved that, they could've kept it and added in infected aswell


They are testing which are the most popular and then adding the highest rated/played ones

google_guyPosted:

does this mean the hackers win at making games?

No1Posted:

TRiPLeO777 they def need to take it out off the leaderbords i mean if you are infected youe K/D is messed up
I was thinking the same thing, also the infected will get less xp because the survivors will not respond. You should get xp by how long you survive not how many kills you get.

Overall the concepte of it is great.. But the weapons are gonna need fixing... Im 100% sure people are gonna flame about the thorwing knife. Like me.

Will i play it - No

If they fix the wepons. or have multiple playlist with different settings.. 1 thorwing knife 1 not
Then would i - Yes

Nintendo64Posted:

They need to put the time up to at least 10 minutes per game, 5 Minutes is FAR too short. The throwing knife i'm on the edge with, I'm not sure if I like it or hate it...

Overall it's an ok gametype not brilliant...
