Infectious Holiday is a new limited-time game mode in Modern Warfare 3. It is a revamped version of the iconic game mode Infected but with a few twists. In this limited-time mode, all infected players will turn into Zombie Santa, who will hunt down the living. All other rules remain the same. At the beginning of a match, a player will be chosen randomly to become infected and thus acquire the Zombie Santa Skin.
They will be tasked with infecting other living players with their limited arsenal. When the entire lobby turns into Zombie Santas, the game will end. But, if the living reign supreme and avoid getting infected till the end, the match will end in their favor, and the infected team will lose.
In this brief article, we'll take a closer look at the highly anticipated game mode's release date, how you can play it, and more.
