Core development on Halo Infinite seems to be wrapping up these days, but that isn't stopping some pretty amazing-looking Forge creations from being made. Earlier this month, 'The Forge Falcons' made a Call of Duty Zombies style mode in Halo Infinite - and now 343 has given the mode its own public matchmaking slot.
Live now for the next two weeks, players can experience the PvE 'Survive the Undead' mode in Halo Infinite. This is an endless, round-based survival mode just like its main inspiration is, and here's a bit more information on what Survive the Undead brings to the table:
"Survive the Undead meshes the Halo Firefight experience with the fan-favorite COD Zombies mode resulting in fast paced, intense, and sometimes spooky gameplay.
As we learned in Reach, the objective is to “survive,” and you want to do that by any means necessary. Earn points to buy upgrades, grab perks, or chance it all on a mystery box. Maybe it’ll help, maybe it’ll set you back—the thrill is in the risk!"
Now, we haven't had the chance to test this mode out yet at Pure Xbox HQ, but we have started to see some social media clips spread around - and they're seriously tempting us into giving Survive the Undead a go! Here's one of those clips, which also lists some of the mode's main features:
The fact that this contains nods to the classic CoD Zombies mode — including the Juggernaut perk and a Nacht Der Untoten map remake — is very cool indeed, and we're digging this crossover even if it's fan-created for now. Who knows though, maybe now that Xbox owns Call of Duty and Halo, we could see more of this sort of thing in the future? We'd be up for that!
What do you make of this? Pretty cool, right? Drop your thoughts on this new Forge creation down below.

They know activation won't file a trademark lawsuit huh
I understand that what I’m about to say is probably going to seem pedantic, but I feel it’s important to be said anyway: using terms like “CoD”, “343”, or “SSBM” (in the case of the XDefiant article) can be very alienating. Yes, the author briefly mentions the full name of what’s being referred to, and yes, as gamers, we generally know what all of these terms mean. However, someone just coming off of Google, for instance, may not understand what any of those terms mean, and in all fairness it’s not always incredibly obvious, especially without an explanation of what they actually mean. It feels more like the kind of move a niche gaming website would make, not one you’d expect from a widely-known gaming media company.
Never mind any of that, “343” is not the name of the studio. The name of the studio is “343 Industries”, or “343i” for short. Yes, it’s a tiny difference in the end, but it gets back to the point I made above.
Does firefight still crash with 4 player split screen?
If so I'll just stick to real COD zombies.
@AccessibleDaydream a simple Google search can answer your perceived issues.
I used to like zombies mode in world at war. I also liked the survival mode on the original mw3.
@Trmn8r I know what these terms mean. The average consumer, especially one who is just getting into games, and could discover this article through a search engine may not, though.
@AccessibleDaydream Headline still says Halo Infinite in it. So, it'll show up just fine.
It's cool they added it but I don't know why anyone would want to play this over firefight.
@CutchuSlow extinction from ghosts is so underrated
I more interested in what 343 have been working on in the last three years since the release.
It’s one of xbox biggest single studios.
Prior to the ABK deal.
So couldn’t just use the flood ?
Why only for 2 weeks? Sounds like it would be good as a permanent mode.
