...No...
It's counted as Ranked FFA, so you can get the achievements in it if you don't have them.

RP stands for rank points. That was the EXP in the halo 3 beta.

Ranked? Dang

I was hoping for a unranked infection playlist to bring my guests and friends in =/ Oh well, can't wait
Never mind, spoke to early:

You can join with a max party size of 4, Infection matches can start with eight players and the games have a player limit of 13.

It IS ranked so that you can get your achievements.
EDIT: Don't bite me Tural. I was just clarifying.

Nobody's making you play it. I don't think it matters how long it's available for.
Edit time, I was at school, now I have time to properly respond.
Lag: Never had even a glimpse of lag in the games I played. Also, to claim that the gametypes or playlist is lagging is just incorrect. That doesn't even make sense. On top of that, it has everything to do with player connections, not the game. So yeah, not really a valid reason to dislike the playlist.
Noobish: Your opinion, one which many people, myself included, don't agree with, but you're free to state it.
Glitchy: Explain how. There are no glitches I have ever seen that are a result of, or only in, this playlist.
Infection in general: Because clearly the fan-made, non-official, honor-rules gametype was so much better. Everyone always played correctly and all in Halo 2. You say it's annoying without host. That is a game/networking problem, not a gametype problem, which you say it is.
27 hours: So don't play it. What harm is done from having it there, honestly? OH NO! ANOTHER OPTION ON MY MENU! It doesn't matter. For instance, I hate Multi Team. How do I avoid the problem? I just don't play freaking Multi Team. Is it that hard of a problem to solve? What does the time frame have to do with anything. Bungie isn't disabling all other playlists. Go play them and stop whining about a gametype you don't have to play.

I think it's fun. The maps are well made and games are generally quick, compared to most "good" zombie games that last an hour because everyone camps in the tunnels on High Ground.
I haven't experienced any large amounts of lag, northy. Maybe you were just in bad games.
