    Note: I'm aware that this will likely be a controversial thread. Please read all of it with an open mind before commenting.

    I feel that Infect simply consistently isn't fun as other gamemodes. I'm going to discuss the two roles (Survivor and Zombie) and describe why each is not as fun as most other gamemodes.

    Survivor:
    As a survivor, you have two main strategy options - Hiding and Fighting. If you decide to hide, you basically find a spot and crouch for the rest of the game - I don't think I should need to explain why that's not as fun as TDM, FFA, Gun Game, etc. When you fight, several issues emerge. The first is the Raygun, which is extremely common in Infect. It makes getting kills nearly impossible, making fighting very frustrating. The second is that killing a zombie is not nearly as satisfying as killing another player in FFA/TDM/etc - It's not actually dangerous unless they get extremely close to you, whereas a player is dangerous at a longer range. As a result, playing a survivor in Infect is consistently not as exciting and fun as any other gamemode.

    Zombie:
    As a zombie, there's clearly just one option - attack the humans. The biggest problem is that it's frustrating when you quickly get killed every time - and it really isn't all that satisfying to get kills anyway.

    So, as a whole, Infect is not a satisfying game to play compared to most of the War gamemodes. Leave thoughts in the description, but please don't just spam "OMG INFECT BEST GM U SUCK XD", you're welcome to disagree but please explain why (and do so in a civilized manner).

    Honestly... I love infect, especially on the infected team. It's far more strategic. If you buy nades etc, it is really fun. I agree that it is hard for infects to get kills without equipment though.

    Infected is one of my favorite game modes. You can have amazing games or horrible games depending on your strategy. I think it should stay.

    Infect is one of the main game modes and most of the community enjoys it. Due to those facts I doubt that the gamemode will be removed anytime soon.

    Infect is good, infect is cool. You can also go level up a little bit faster :smile:

    The only good thing so far that I can find of about Infect is the enjoyment is consistent - unfortunately though, consistently boring. Most of the time you just need to find a high place to stand on and stay there for as long as you can. I've never really enjoyed a game of Infect so far. It has problems, but if they change the map so its harder to camp, and change zombies/survivors so its easier to kill zombies without having to camp, I think it'd make a really fun gamemode.

    Removing it, nah. It has potential, but I think it should be changed a bit.

    I can't argue with this. While infect isn't going to be removed, we could change it so players would actually move around the field.

    No-one cares if you want Infect to stay in or not... as Geothermal asked, please explain why.

    What are you talking about?
    This idea is at the least outrageous, and at the most completely suicidal if it were to be added.

    Again, no-one cares if you think it should be removed, he just wants to know why you think it shouldn't be removed. Its not exactly hard, is it?

    Infect is one of the most beloved gamemodes and has been in War since 2012. There's pretty much zero chance of it getting removed when you take in these two factors.

    When you say killing zombies as a survivor isn't as satisfying, this isn't true. Many players take great joy in seeing their kill count boosted.

    Next time when making a thread about removing infect, look at the "Similar Threads" box that pops up and look at how this suggestion has been violently and maliciously shot down several times. This is not getting removed, if you don't like it you're free to /spawn when the match starts.
