From Bungie.net :
In the dead of night, cold lids flutter and wake from dread slumber. What do those milky eyes see when they rise from their graves? What do those decaying nostrils scent in the air as they sniff the perfumed night of the boneyard? Brains of course. Succulent, delicious brains. Brains are to zombies as bacon is to people. Or candy, if you’re kosher.
It is a scientific fact that zombies feast on human brains because they are the softest meat on a person and Zombie dental care is not really up to snuff.
To celebrate the gustatory tendencies of the walking dead and to acknowledge All Hallows Eve, we’re launching a spooktacular, eerie-otic and cryptmongous playlist for 27 horror-filled hours, starting on October 31st at 12:01am and ending at 3:00am on November 1st because we love Hawaii Halloween too (Chicken skin kine). It is infection and it is the playlist of the Living Dead.
The full article contains some questions and answers about this temporary new addition if you are looking for more details. Oh, and if you are still needing some achievements in your quest for the katana, good news.
Q: Can I get achievements in this playlist?
Yes, it is set up as a Ranked Playlist, and players will have some good opportunities to pick up a few of the harder MP achievements without any of that pesky guilt. Fending off the hungry dead is as righteous a way as any to score an Overkill. It’s also a good chance to fill out your Ranked Medals with some of the Infection medals, like Infection Spree and Hell’s Janitor.
Now go get yourself some brains.
the playlist was interesting…
angel, umm… im kinda bored w/ shooting games at the moment…
so i really have not been enjoying halo 3…
im spending time playing other games!
(besides college)
The playlist was boring, they chose really weird and hard gametypes, and being the humans was just pointless, because you couldn’t kill anything.
I did not get to play this since they were having problems with having more than one person in a party go in.
I wonder if they fixed the MMMM Brains medal yet on B.net?
(It was showing as the Killing Spree medal you get when you are a Zombie)
I got to play about 10 games - they were bloody hard, not really fun - so much for getting easy achievements ! - I got a stepin razor but didn’t get the achievement! (the triple kill came up in the stats..). Meh.
I do like the initaitve Bungei showed in setting this up and I hope they do a few more special occasions.
Right I’m off to do this blimin Marathon Man achievement for the thrid time… shessh….
