Infection is a multiplayer gametype in Halo 3. It is the official Zombie mode after its popularity as a custom game in Halo 2.
Background
Objectives
The object of the game is for the Humans and Sangheili to stay alive as long as possible while the zombies try kill to every living player. The number of players starting out as Zombies ("Alpha Zombies") can be changed in the options and are selected at random from the start. When a zombie kills a living player, he/she is "infected" and thus becomes a zombie. When there is just one living Human or Sangheili left, he/she is declared "Last Man Standing".
One way Infection is commonly played is that players will make custom maps with Forge where the living have a strong point equipped with weapons, grenades, equipment and vehicles to defend against the zombies.
