Infestation Mode is a singleplayer/co-operative multiplayer survival mode that comes with Red Faction: Armageddon. It is similar to Gears of War 2's "Horde Mode".
Gameplay[]
Infestation mode can be played alone or with up to 4 players, on any of the four difficulties ("Casual", "Normal", "Hard", "Insane"). There are eight maps to choose from, offering two kinds of games. Each map offers 30 waves, which must be unlocked beginning at wave 1. Once five waves have been played on the standard maps, a second "DARK" map is unlocked, with severely reduced lighting. With the addition of these DARK maps, the game mode features a total of 16 maps.
