While it was yet to be implemented as an official mode, Infection—simply called "[[Zombies]]"—first existed as a custom game played with honor rules in ''[[Halo 2]]''. In its original form, the Red Team were the humans and the Green Team were the Energy Sword-wielding zombies. Players would have to manually switch teams using the pause menu if they were killed by a zombie to join the infected. The maps [[Foundation]] and [[Headlong]] were particularly popular choices for this mode.{{Ref/Reuse|S4Infection}}
