One problem with Infection

Infection is great. I think I am going to get back into this game. Loved it in Reach, and now its in CoD. However, I found one little problem with it;you still complete challenges while playing. Earning XP is fine, since it means that people will play it, but challenges like 'Survive 5 mins' are extremely easy. I was actually annoyed when I unlocked all the high KD and long life challenges. You may be thinking thats a good thing, but it feels so cheap, and I dont feel like I have achieved this way. Its too late for me, but IW, could you please fix this little problem with the game mode.
One problem? I can name a few
Earning XP
Earning Challenges
Kills counting to your KD
Deaths counting to your KD
Wins counting towards your w/l
Losses counting towards your w/l
Earning gun XP
The last survivor losing, shouldn't they win? I mean it's not like they were the last alive or anything.
More whiny kids than SnD
Games dragging on because people quit when infected
People being dropped into the game as survivors everytime an infected quits, dragging the game out even longer
Pretty sure there's more.
Yeah you pretty much nailed it, why try to be last alive when it means you get a loss. Also more gun variety would be nice I don't just want to use the striker, all weapons in the game should be incorporated IMO.
Still great fun though, especially when playing with friends.
I try to be last alive because in the big picture of life, your win loss ratio on COD doesnt mean s***.
Like the gun variety idea though, maybe even custom classes with some restrictions.
How is earning xp a "problem" Missing Snorlax?
3 more for your list
first infected always leaving add a migration infected or something like that
the unthouchable areas make game mode unfunable
the weapon they give you for surviors are ****
You forgot to mention pretty much needing to mute every player that has a mic plugged in because there is a 99% chance it's some <15 year old mouth breather that is going to yap about something stupid the entire game.
People boost through splitscreen now. They let their guestaccount die, then they start boosting...
Got M.O.A.B:ed yesterday cause of those kinda types ![]()
Yeah-realised these problems today while playing. If you guys down at IW would do me a favour and take away the titles and emblems I earned in this gametype, and all weapon progress, and all that stuff, it would be great. That would sort out most of my problems with it. I swear Im not good enough to survive 5 minutes, or get a 5:1 KD. Why should I be able to have the titles and emblems for those?
My problem is the minimap giving away my hiding spot to teamates, who promptly die and make a beeline for wherever I am, even if I wasnt even near them.
Also, as the op said, I got the 10 kill streak with no strike package achievement, it felt a bit cheap.
I too hate the striker, would rather use a silent Shotty or SMG to fit my hiding playstyle.
The juggernaut ones are just plain stupid, 16 juggies with magnums vs 2 dudes with strikers? Why?
The whiney kids are as bad as ever but thats what mute is for I guess.
Overall its pretty fun but a few improvements could help.
