That'd probably be the only game type I'd ever play on matchmaking :P. So fun, Bungie should incorporate some player's maps as ones you can play on.

It is.......on Halloween :D haha

You can also play it on double XP weekends once a month. Personally, I think its smart to keep infection limited. Its an amazing game type, and if you could play it every day for hours, im sure it would get a little boring. I've played it so much some weekends, I actually get tired of it. But, to each his own, im sure some of you guys cant stand SWAT, and thats my favorite game type.

Who knows. It is pretty stupid that they have every other match type but infection. I will just have to wait until double xp weekend. Maybe because it is so versatile and the plain infection can be hundreds of game types.

true but if it was a actual playlist they would probably be adding new player made maps to keep it interesting

Infection is my personal Favorite mode on Halo 3 and for it not to be on Matchmaking is awfull. Fix it Microsoft!

Only Bungie really knows why; all we can do is speculate.

I kinda get the sense that Bungie likes keeping the highly popular, yet highly different gametypes as double EXP weekend playlists, like they'll lose their flavor if they kept them around permanently or something.

Bungie keeps the best and most popular to themselves.

There's an 11.6% chance of getting into a game of Infection (either Brains or Save One Bullet) in the Rumble Pit playlist. Bungie lists out all percentages of the gametypes on their site.

Probably because it's a variation of Slayer. So technically, it's due to the same reason games like Oddball and King of the Hill don't have their own playlists either.
