Ever heard of Bloodthirst: Infection Only Customs? Yes? No? Derp? Well, if not, we're a custom games group providing Halo Customs with awesome Flood-only lobbies for you to join and have a great time playing and testing Flood maps. To date we have collectively hosted 49 lobbies. It has been a hell of a journey so far, so we want to do something special to mark our 50th lobby.REMkings said:Hey everyone!
Welcome to the official BIOC 50th Lobby Event!
On Sunday August 11th, 2013, all of the BIOC Hosts will celebrate our 50th lobby in a 9.5 hour long custom game event where we follow up each other’s lobbies and provide a whole day of what we like and do best: Playing the latest and greatest Flood maps with you, the members of our community! Like mentioned, we are going to do things a little bit differently this time so be my guest as everything is explained in detail!
- On behalf of the BIOC staff,
REMkings
Edit: PA1NTS can no longer make it. The lobby will now only be 7.5 hours. Awwwwww.
Update: We have found not one but two people who willl be replacing PA1NTS, so the lobby can now be extended to 11,5 hours!! woot woot

That's right, pack your sandwiches and an extra grenade, this is going to be a Floody marathon! Get it? Bloody marathon... Oh whatever, its a British term anyway.
Where was I... ahh yes! For this very special occasion, the lobby will have four BIOC hosts taking the reins for a couple of hours each. Just about every good Flood map in Halo 4 will be played, from epic linear progression maps to the most tactile Last Stand maps.
The lobby will be split up into five game threads, this allows you to sign up to either just one volume, or all of it! Remember, if you sign up to only one volume, be a top lad and make room for members that have signed up to the following section.
We have decided that maps cannot be submitted to be played at this event. This way we can play as many of the best maps as possible. But of course, you can submit maps to be played in future BIOC lobbies.
Following are the links to the five volumes of the BIOC 50th Lobby. Each has their own schedule of maps to play. Pick any and as many as you fancy. Further details will be provided in the lobby threads themselves.

I almost forgot to say;
Back in 2011 REMkings came up with this brilliant idea to host regular Infection lobbies in Halo: Reach. Two years on, he is still here working hard as ever under the same name: Bloodthirst: Infection Only Customs. Since the day he sent me a message, asking if I would like to get involved, he has worked incredibly hard to bring something special to the community. Even though many of us now share the weight of keeping this thing going, Remco was the one with the persistence and drive to make it happen. So, erm, thanks Rem. Its been fun.
