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:

OMG this is gonna be the shiiiiiiiz!!!

DidactPosted:

I finished playing Infected before in Private Match for the first time. It was boss. Having this on online Multiplayer will probably encourage me to come on MW3 more.

ThouqhtPosted:

Doing this is a good and bad idea the good idea is that everyone loves it and its fun but there are so many glitches though to not die... i glitch on private matches aha but online may be bad idea

qburt1Posted:

Some modes they have a weapon with and some they don't just to prevent an unfair advantage and big unbalanced xp. All the initial zombies get weapons though cuz it's unfair when 1 person can't kill anybody but if someone dies they lose their guns in most game modes. It looks fun and interesting to play.

kinda doesnt make any sense? the infected have guns and the survivors dont(In some modes)? thats stupid, its just the game in reverse which is pointless.

Idk, ill try it out tomorrow.

F22Posted:

The game mode WILL NOT BE FUN--[My opinion] It will be about a 1-3 minute games due to what infected get

TONYMC99 dont you think if you start of infected your k/d with be terrible, like 5kills 40deaths, just a thought ot maybe am over thinking it lol :P
still cant wait for it really excited will play it 24/7 :D

Ya, yet another downside to this.But for "Dropzone" Leaderboards didn't count. So i hope they are smart enough to Dis-able K/D and stuff that will affect you in your stats in anyway

AWSOME_x_2 Wait the initial infected has guns?

I know. That is pretty dumb. It ruins the whole gamemode.

Ya, but what about the Bad kids that cant get 1 kill? that is really boring and they need a real gun to be able to prevent tht
TheHoneyBadger I just hope kids dont rage quit when they get infected. Thats the only downside i see.

Ya, but lets just hope after they rage, we can get a free Victory from Forfeit! It might get annoying but i guess its not tht bad.
And i also Hope you can play with a Full party of 6 Ppl and inv. your friends so you can have a full lobby of friends so you can tell what or what not to do,And rank up at the same time...

-Robin-Posted:

Ant Does this mean I'll stop getting messages every 5 minutes saying infection lobby?

GOOD

LOL, and i am Really excited for this. I cant wait. everytime i go on, im tempted to join my friends inv to an Infected lobby, and i can play it for Hours. having it online is just a dream come true, because now i can rank up by doing it. i Just hope Victory/Defeat doesn't count because its hard to stay alive against a lot of people on certain maps, so i hope once you get Infected its a win automatically (Unless your Last) which can = to a lot of Wins!
