Halo Infinite

We’ve got a special new edition of Forge Features for you today where we’re offering the opportunity to get your maps into matchmaking for the return of the fan-favorite Husky Raid mode!



Let’s get you a briefing on the details, and then let’s take a look at a new selection of community-made maps.



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AIN’T NO RAID LIKE A HUSKY RAID!</h2>



Ten years ago, we were playing a game you might have heard of called Halo 4. Like its predecessors going back to Halo 2, it featured the Action Sack playlist—the home of whacky and unusual gametypes often created by the community where we lost hours to Tug of War, Team Stickies, Dino Blasters, Paintball, and more. And one of the additions Halo 4 made to that offering was Husky Raid.



In Husky Raid, the map is a long, narrow corridor. You spawn on one side with random weapons, meaning that you, your allies, and your enemies may be heading out with a rocket launcher or a plasma pistol. And you’ve got to get through the chaos that’s about to ensue in order to capture the enemy flag.

The mode returned in Halo 5 (see an example in the screenshot above), and it’s now coming to Halo Infinite—and you’ve got an opportunity to get your own Husky Raid map into matchmaking!



THE TEMPLATES



We have two prefab templates for you to download and utilize in the creation of your Husky Raid map. Grab them from the links below.



<ul><li><a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/prefabs/f693dbdf-3b62-4c12-ad8e-3e4453f11120" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="343 Husky Raid – Alley Template (opens in a new tab)">343 Husky Raid – Alley Template</a></li><li><a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/prefabs/756de5d5-953b-4cff-be82-fc10b59d5c65" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="343 Husky Raid – Trench Template (opens in a new tab)">343 Husky Raid – Trench Template</a></li></ul>



These will be useful for getting Forgers started, so if you just want to apply some cool artistic flourishes to them that’s absolutely fine for submission. But if you want to take things a step further and make your own changes, or start from scratch to unleash your creativity, you should absolutely feel free to do so!



As for testing your map, in the meantime we recommend using Fiesta: CTF.



HOW DO I GET MY MAP NOTICED?



Once your map is in a state you are happy with, you need to publish it and tag it with the 343ask-Husky Raid tag and include a screenshot.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="3840" height="1997" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/343ForgeTags.png" alt="Image of official Forge tags" class="wp-image-65818" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/343ForgeTags.png 3840w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/343ForgeTags-300x156.png 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/343ForgeTags-1024x533.png 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/343ForgeTags-768x399.png 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/343ForgeTags-1536x799.png 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/343ForgeTags-2048x1065.png 2048w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/343ForgeTags-1568x815.png 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 3840px) 100vw, 3840px" /></figure>



If your map is one we’d like to move forwards with, we will reach out to the gamertag listed as the author of the map and continue further dialogue on Discord.



IS THERE A DUE DATE?



The fun should never truly end, but for folks looking to try and make it into our first official Husky Raid selection, we’ll need your creations no later than June 30.



Take the time to flex those creative muscles—we can’t wait to see what you cook up for us.



With all that said, let’s take a look at what you’ve been up to with the maps you’ve already been making!

Ever looked at Wizard—or any of its remakes—and thought it could stand to be a little bigger to spread out some of that 4v4 or 5v5 chaos? Sorcerer is the map for you.

And that’ll bring this issue to a close. You’ve got your mission, should you choose to accept—to all community cartographers, prepare to drop feet-first into Forge and let loose your imagination on Husky Raid.



Make one. Heck, make two. That’s an order, soldier!

Canon Fodder: Didact’s Delights

Book Preview

Fiction

Over ten years ago, the Master Chief awakened from cryo sleep as the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn approached a mysterious shield world known as Requiem.



Within this hollow sphere was an ancient Forerunner warrior—the Didact. Imprisoned a hundred millennia ago by his wife after being driven to madness, he emerged to continue his campaign against the humans that he saw as unworthy of the Mantle, the responsibility of guardianship over life in the galaxy.



Seeking to imprison humanity as his army of machine thralls, the Didact was defeated by the Master Chief and Cortana as he led an attack on Earth, casting him into slipspace. A further confrontation on Gamma Halo would see the Didact’s physical body disintegrated by the destruction of his Composer devices, sending the scatterings of his consciousness into the Domain.



It is here that <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Halo-Epitaph/Kelly-Gay/Halo/9781668017531">Halo: Epitaph, the next novel from acclaimed author Kelly Gay</a>, begins. Here’s the official description of what is to come:



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



Stripped of armor, might, and memory, the Forerunner warrior known as the Didact was torn from the physical world following his destructive confrontation with the Master Chief and sent reeling into the mysterious depths of a seemingly endless desert wasteland. This once powerful and terrifying figure is now a shadow of his former self—gaunt, broken, desiccated, and alone. But this wasteland is not as barren as it seems. A blue light glints from a thin spire in the far distance…



Thus begins the Didact’s great journey—the final fate of one of the galaxy’s most enigmatic and pivotal figures.



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>

We are thrilled to reveal the cover art of Halo: Epitaph, beautifully illustrated by Chris McGrath, depicting the Didact in a vast desert within the Domain, where fans of Halo 3 may recognize a certain tower in the background.



Published by Gallery Books and our friends over at Simon & Schuster, Halo: Epitaph is currently scheduled for release in early 2024.



Stay tuned later this year for chapter previews that will provide a closer look at the last great journey of the Didact.

The time has come for another bi-weekly instalment of Forge Features!



We’re on a bit of an original trilogy binge in this issue, starting aboard the UNSC Pillar of Autumn and working our way across games from there. So, bring yourself up to combat alert alpha and let’s take a look at some community creations.

“Cortana, all I need to know is did we lose them?”



Not yet, you haven’t! Multiple Covenant vessels are inbound and it’s up to you to gather as many of your friends as possible to jump into Wasps and defend the UNSC Pillar of Autumn (stunningly recreated in Forge) from attacking Banshees.

Forget those adjustments to your A2 scope, there’s a station to defend. Arrival is a map that has been spiritually and aesthetically based on Halo 2’s Cairo Station—it even has an antimatter charge!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Halo game in possession of a multiplayer must be in want of a Forerunner-themed map in a box canyon.



With two opposing bases that have been based (heh!) on the barrier towers from Halo 3’s classic mission The Covenant, and featuring a downed Scarab that is being reclaimed by nature, you’d have to be pretty insolent to not try this out with up to 24 of your friends!

Forge Features: May 12, 2023

In September of 2021, 343 Industries launched the official Halo Waypoint app for iOS and Android platforms which have served as native mobile companions offering the same features and content as the Halo Waypoint website. Over time, we’ve seen usage patterns shift away from the apps while the mobile version of halowaypoint.com continues to capture the vast majority of site engagement.



As we look to the future, our focus is on the products and experiences that are most impactful and beneficial to our players and community.  To that end, we have made the decision to cease support for the Halo Waypoint iOS and Android apps and officially sunset them on approximately June 7, 2023.



Going forward, all the same content and features will continue to live and grow on halowaypoint.com. The Halo Waypoint website on mobile and desktop will remain the home for Halo game service records, file shares, leaderboards, franchise news, HCS, code redemption, and more.



Thank you to everyone who has supported the Halo Waypoint app and provided feedback along the way. We hope to continue enriching your game experiences and celebrating the Halo franchise with you on halowaypoint.com into the future.

Welcome back to the Community Corner!



In this series, we spotlight and interview individual members of the Halo community about the cool stuff they do, their personal history with the Halo franchise and universe, and more.



<a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/community-corner-dagger">Last time, we spoke to Dagger about their journey as an artist and animator, and about Halo fan art in particular.</a>



Today, we’re joined by Moto Streams to learn about her history with Halo over the years and how she cultivated one of the most wholesome streaming communities out there.



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



Welcome to the Community Corner, Moto! Thank you very much for joining us. Go ahead and introduce yourself—who are you, what do you do in the community, and where can we find you?



I am a gaming content creator with a focus on Halo, FPS titles, and survival games. I just love games as a whole, so I have quite a bit of variety, but my hook is always Halo. <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/Moto">I stream on Twitch</a> and I’m also on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@motostreams">TikTok</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MotoStreams">YouTube</a>, where I mostly do Xbox-related news and tips videos.



Tell us your Halo origin story. How did you get started on this great journey?



The year after Halo: Combat Evolved launched, I went to a friend’s house, and he was hosting a LAN party. He had four OG Xbox consoles and four of those huge CRT TVs set up. We played split-screen Halo multiplayer all night long and into the morning.



I didn’t know it then, but that moment literally changed my life and the path that I would soon be on. Needless to say, shortly afterwards I got an Xbox of my own and the first game I bought was Halo: CE.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.twitch.tv/Moto"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1080" height="892" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/Moto343.jpg" alt="Image of Moto in front of 343 Industries sign" class="wp-image-66894" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/Moto343.jpg 1080w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/Moto343-300x248.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/Moto343-1024x846.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/Moto343-768x634.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a></figure>



What’s your favorite Halo game and why? And if that’s too cruel, I’ll let you have a top three…



I think all Halo fans can agree this can be a tough question! Halo: CE will forever have a special place in my heart, and it is definitely my favorite campaign to replay. However, Halo 2 wins for my favorite multiplayer.



This is where I started getting involved with the Halo community. I co-founded a womens’ Halo 2 clan with my friend Zen (who I met in-game). We had an amazing group and some of us keep in touch all these years later. This is also where I met my wife!



Would you describe yourself as a campaign person, or are multiplayer and custom games more your thing, maybe you prefer the more creative side with Forge—or maybe it’s a mix of everything. What are some of the areas of Halo you find yourself gravitating towards?



I enjoy revisiting the campaigns randomly to just relax. However, I classify myself as sort of a super hardcore casual Halo multiplayer fan. I love Halo multiplayer so much, but I am in my upper 40s now which means I am not as good. Of course, I love to win, but I mostly just play for fun. One of my favorite modes has been Escalation, I can’t seem to get enough of it!



Tell us all about your journey as a streamer. How did you get started? What sort of things do you like covering? Did you go into it with any particular goals in mind?



Originally, I started streaming to help raise money for a charity that our clan and podcast at the time was raising money for. Then I started to get the bug for streaming. I am an incredibly shy person and streaming has helped me break out of my shell.



On the streaming side, Halo is my one franchise that I always default back to. I also love covering new games that have caught my interest. I have this strange love of zombies, so I often end up playing a lot of post-apocalyptic open world games.



When I started streaming, my main goal was to connect more with our clan and podcast listeners. Later, I had goals like getting partnered on Mixer, working with a particular brand, and to hopefully someday work with Halo in some capacity. Fast forward nine years, and my goals are to make content that I love and having fun while building and growing my community.

What are some of the things you love most about streaming? Do you have any personal highlights from over the years?



What I love most about streaming is one hundred percent my community. The Sidecar Crew is legit one of the most welcoming and friendly groups out there. They make my days fun, and without them, I wouldn’t be doing any of this.



A streaming highlight that stands out was the time I got to host one of the Halo Community Playdate streams on my channel. We played a ton of Big Team Battle in Halo 5 and had a blast. It was also a huge honor to take over the Xbox Twitch channel last year for Women’s History Month—we played Halo Infinite and had a great time.



I know that you’ve done quite a bit of podcasting as well over the years. There’s really nothing better than just chatting about games, is there?



My friend Zen, who co-founded the Halo 2 clan with me, and I branched off into podcasting for seven years. Our podcast had a couple of name changes over the years, but we landed on Adrift Gamer. The “Adrift” fit both our randomness in gaming and it’s the name of a Halo 4 map.



We were both terrified to launch that first episode. It literally took us two years to get up the courage to start. But I am fully agreed that there is nothing better than sitting down once a week with one of your best friends to chat about the latest in games, and we seemed to always end up talking about space, robots and zombies. The show came to an end in 2021. We had so many amazing moments together that I will never forget.

Do you have any advice for folks out there who might be looking to get into streaming or podcasting and are finding their feet?



My biggest piece of advice is to sit down and do a little planning and ask yourself some questions. I know this part isn’t super fun, but I promise it is worth it.



These are questions that I often come back to and ask myself:



<ul><li>What do you want to cover?</li><li>What are your passions?</li><li>What things about you or your content are unique?</li><li>Who do you want to reach?</li><li>How much time a week do you realistically have to work on this?</li><li>Who can you reach out to for help and advice?</li><li>What are your short-term and long-term goals? Be realistic and specific.</li></ul>



Content creation is a lot of work, and it can take a while to start building a community. That’s why it’s so important to focus on what you love and are passionate about. It will help fuel you when you are first starting. Also, don’t wait until everything is perfect. Just improve and add things as you go.



On the topic of advice, it really must be asked… how have you fostered such a wonderfully wholesome community over the years?



That is super kind of you to say! The reason we started that Halo 2 clan back in the day was to create a space where we felt like we belonged. That is basically what I did with my community. My plan was to foster a space that is inclusive and welcoming for everyone.

Do you have a favorite piece of Halo merch on your shelf?



Without a doubt my favorite piece of Halo merch on my shelf is the Forerunner statue. I have been a member of the Forerunner Council since 2019 where we were part of Halo Infinite’s development. That was the biggest secret that I have ever had to keep. I can’t convey how much it has meant to be a part of this group.



I just think back to that first Halo: CE LAN party. That girl had no idea where she would be two decades later.



Tell us an interesting fact about yourself!



Outside of games and content creation, the bulk of my free time is spent spoiling my two doggos. One of my favorite things in Halo: CE is when Foehammer rolls in with the Pelican Echo 419. My oldest dog was born April 2019 (419), so we named her “Echo 419 Foe Hammer.” Obviously, we call her Echo for short.



My other dog, Ember, is 9 months old. They are both Whippets and love zoomies, stealing paper towels and snoozing on the couch.

Thank you so much again for giving us some of your time to chat, Moto! Do you have any parting words or shoutouts?



If you are looking for a welcoming group to play some Halo with, feel free to stop by and join in during my Twitch streams! I almost always roll with open lobbies and good vibes.



If you need any help getting going with content creation, <a href="https://discord.gg/moto">you are more than welcome to join my Discord</a>. I have an area where you can ask questions and get some extra help from myself and others in the community.



Thank you so much for this opportunity! I have been a fan of this franchise for almost twenty-one years, and being invited to do this meant so much.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MATCHMAKING SUBMISSIONS</h2>



As mentioned in yesterday’s <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Community Update (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/site-seeing" target="_blank">Community Update</a>, we’ve officially rolled out a new process to ensure your hard work can be seen by 343 and considered for matchmaking. Thanks to the tagging system in-game, all you need to do finish your creation, attach a screenshot to it, and then use the appropriate tags when saving your map or mode. 



Here’s a list of the tags in-game right now:
