Bungie revealed last Friday that they had a special treat in line for Halo 3 players this Halloween and now Frankie has made the treat known to the slavering masses. Fitting in with the season, the Halloween treat is a special 27 hour playlist in matchmaking that involves (what else?) zombies. The playlist features nothing but the Infection gametype and will be available starting October 31st at 12:01am PST and ending November 1st at 3:00am PST. The playlist will use Forge edited maps created by Bungie. These maps feature special changes that benefit the Infection gametype, things like fortifications for the human team. Perhaps best of all, the playlist will be ranked and players will be able to unlock multiplayer achievements inside it. Let's think about that: four players all rushing you, staring down the business end of your rocket launcher. Hello Overkill Achievement.

3. Using PST is for the gay. if you use EST, the better coast of the two gets to play a bit late at midnight, and the pacific coasters get to play from 9pm on.
I never really understood why companies release things using midnight PST, because it is pretty inconvenient for everyone else in the US; and typically that is your market, not just the west coast.
4. if this cant get me my last 3 achievements (overkill, steppin razor & two for 1) I dont know what else will.
5. I'm going eat all of your pixelated brains. Be ready fellas. mOOOrE BrAIINz

11. Well you east coasters aren't making much of a case for yourselves with your homophobic smugness.
I suddenly don't wonder at all why it starts midnight PST. They know everyone on the east coast is a complete fucking asshole.
- PS - I'm a CSTer.
12. Wha.. people are still playing halo 3? Man I got bored with that crap playing it for like 2 or 3 hours at a friends when I was debating on getting the crap. I guess promos are needed to keep people interested in such a bland fps.
But I digress, it is a console FPS afterall, can't expect much out of it; I let myself think they might actually make a good one this time too, pfft.
