The popular Infection multiplayer mode may make a return to Halo via a Halo: The Master Chief Collection update, according to a 343 Industries update.

"The playlist team continues to work on future updates," says the Halo Waypoint post, "and its quite likely that we'll be talking more about things like Infection in the coming weeks."

Infection casts one player as the "Infected," armed with melee weapons only and tasked with converting the "survivor" players into infected themselves.

It was based on a custom game mode created by players in Halo 2, made appearances in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, and was rebranded "Flood" in Halo 4.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is available now on Xbox One; more Halo news is expected from Gamescom this week.
