Halo Infinite News

Would you look at that, it’s time again for another issue of Forge Features to spotlight a new batch of community creations that have caught our monitoring eye and made their way to the 343 Recommended tab of the content browser!



Just earlier this week, Halo Infinite’s matchmaking was enhanced and refreshed with some new community maps that you can find out more about in our Community Collection Update blog.

And now, if you’re looking to level up your Custom Games nights, let’s explore a remake roulette of campaign and multiplayer spaces throughout the series in Halo Infinite’s Forge.

Sometimes you just want to hear those three special words after a long day.

“BTB on Exile.”

A stunningly faithful recreation of the courtyard of ONI SWORD Base from Halo: Reach, which was present in the campaign and as a Firefight map. This iteration also includes some Covenant ships glassing the planet in the background.

You’ve fought your way through the courtyard, but you’ve got to fall back inside SWORD Base for the skirmishes to come. I hope you brought your Grappleshot... and stop camping in that elevator room—yes, you know who you are!

My analysis indicates that the map room should be at the bottom floor of this facility. You’re gonna have to fight your way through...

A truly timeless classic. With every remake of this map, every memory that has so lovingly recreated it, there is something new to appreciate.

Red Nomster (who has previously talked about Forge in our Community Corner chat) has showcased what his experience of three-hundred hours of Forge culminated in, giving a lengthy look at his new map “Overdrive.”

The Community Collection playlist in Halo Infinite has been updated with new Forge maps from our veritable community of Master Builders!



When we launched the Community Collection playlist back in February, players got to experience maps both familiar and new that had been made by folks in the community using Forge – from a Banished-ified version of Damnation, to a UNSC-themed remix of Midship, and so on.

We stated that this playlist would be evergreen (meaning it would be sticking around in Halo Infinite for the long haul) and would be updated with more community-made content in the future. That day has now come, so let’s get you acquainted with the new arenas you’ll be stepping into.

Solution is a map that showcases just how far Forgers are able to push the density of detail with their maps while also offering a truly great gameplay experience. Just remember that there are enemies to fight, flags to grab, and strongholds and hills to capture as well as sights to see!

Evoking the neon-lit cityscapes we have experienced and loved throughout the series, from the nighttime streets of New Mombasa to the chaotic marketplace of Plaza, Vagabond looks like a place that fits right into the Halo universe.

Similar to Vagabond, Curfew centers the urban aesthetics of Halo 3: ODST in this city precinct that feels like a genuinely lived-in space. The Superintendent is even there to remind you to KEEP IT CLEAN, so be sure to pick up your spent bullet casings and please do not litter the floor with grenades.

In addition to the three rolling out today, we’ll also be bringing in one more map to the Community Collection playlist soon!

In a marriage of Forerunner visual styles between Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 4, you’ll feel right at home on Nemesis where this ancient facility is becoming one with the natural formations around it.

These maps all join the existing maps in the playlist to add even more variety to the beloved Community Collection experience. Speaking of the existing maps, Absolution, Perilous, Salvation, and Starboard have all received updates from their creators to fix various issues, improve readability, or improve performance.

In addition to these new maps, you’ll find that other playlists in Halo Infinite also now include a selection of maps from the Community Collection.

Curfew has now been lifted, so if you vagabonds are looking for a solution for how to spend your time, jump into the Community Collection playlist today!
