Legacy playlists are not new to Halo Infinite. We’ve had playlists inspired by both Halo 2  and Halo 3 already in Delta Arena and Halo 3: Refueled, respectively. The Mountain Dew fueled nostalgia hits hard so how about a Halo 3 inspired Delta Arena?


Retro Recap

If you played Delta Arena during the Great Journey, this should look and feel familiar to you. You can think of this playlist as a modernized version of the legacy settings from the Xbox 360 days. So what can you expect to see as a Spartan when you jump in to play?

  • No sprint
  • No clamber
  • Increased jump height
  • Friendly player collision

This should all lend itself to a movement set that feels pretty familiar overall.

 You’ll be playing the following modes:

  • Team Slayer
  • Oddball
  • King of the Hill
  • Capture the Flag
  • Assault

MA5K vs BR75

Every mode in the Halo 3 Delta Arena playlist will come in two versions: MA5K starts and BR75 starts. You will be able to choose which you want to play via the Match Composer. We know that the debate between the two starting weapons is eternal (2004…eternity…close enough) and we’ll be monitoring the data very closely to see which starting weapon modes are chosen/played most.

Your choices will ultimately determine what moves into the Match Composer at the end of Operation: Legacy.

You can bookmark the modes if you want to save them for later:

The maps should feel familiar but here's the list, just in case:

Isolation

Modes: Slayer (Legacy & BR), KOTH (Legacy & BR), Oddball (Legacy & BR), CTF (Legacy & BR), Neutral Bomb (Legacy & BR)

A remake of Halo 3's Isolation in Halo Infinite Forge

Whatever you do, don’t touch the blistered walls of the Flood containment facility. You’re *ahem* isolated in this Flood containment facility so make the most of it and play the objective (or slay the day away).

Snowbound

Modes: Slayer (Legacy & BR), KOTH (Legacy & BR), Oddball (Legacy & BR), CTF (Legacy & BR), Neutral Bomb (Legacy & BR)

A remake of Halo 3's Snowbound in Halo Infinite Forge.

Snow covered Covenant bases, tunnels to sneak through, and sentry turrets watching the perimeter. Keep your cool.

Guardian

Bookmark
Credits: UneeQ TV, Mr Greencastle, MikRips
Modes: Slayer (Legacy & BR), KOTH (Legacy & BR), Oddball (Legacy & BR)

A remake of Halo 3's Guardian in Halo Infinite Forge.

Gravity lifts, man cannons, walkways…Guardian has it all. This fan-favorite is a versatile battleground and excels in objective modes.

Narrows

Bookmark
Credits: UneeQ TV, Mr Greencastle, MikRips
Modes: Slayer (Legacy & BR), CTF (Legacy & BR), Assault Neutral Bomb (Legacy & BR)

A remake of Halo 3's Narrows in Halo Infinite Forge.

Caution: Flying Spartans. Your three lane map is two man cannons and a bridge, each with their own risk.

Construct

Bookmark
Credits: UneeQ TV, Mr Greencastle, MikRips, ArtN00b
Modes: Slayer (Legacy & BR), KOTH (Legacy & BR), Oddball (Legacy & BR)

A remake of Halo 3's Construct in Halo Infinite Forge.

What goes up, must come down…eventually. Danger can come from many directions on Construct so keep your head on a swivel.

Ghost Town

Bookmark
Credits: UneeQ TV, Mr Greencastle, MikRips
Modes: Slayer (Legacy & BR), KOTH (Legacy & BR), Oddball (Legacy & BR), One Flag (Legacy & BR), Assault One Bomb (Legacy & BR)

A remake of Halo 3's Ghost Town in Halo Infinite Forge.

Ruins, hidey holes, broken bridges…plenty of places for a ghost (or enemy Spartans) to hide. Good thing you aren’t afraid of no ghosts, right?

Cold Storage

Bookmark
Credits: Cousin Tim, UneeQ TV, Mr Greencastle, MikRips, Deathcrawller
Modes: Slayer (Legacy & BR), KOTH (Legacy & BR), Oddball (Legacy & BR)

A remake of Halo 3's Cold Storage (which is a remake of Halo: Combat Evolve's Chill Out) in Halo Infinite Forge.

Deep inside Installation 05 you’ll find the Flood research facilities. Chill out. It’ll be okay.

Ivory Tower

Bookmark

Modes: Slayer (Legacy & BR), KOTH (Legacy & BR), Oddball (Legacy & BR)

A remake of Halo 2's Ivory Tower in Halo Infinite Forge.

Okay maybe this is an interloper in the Halo 3 playlist but this is a classic throwback map with great lines of sight and pathways that lead to fun gameplay, and a nice oasis in the middle of the room. If you reflect, you may also remember this map from Halo: Reach.

Foundry

Bookmark
Credits: UneeQ TV, Mr Greencastle, MiKRips, ArtN00b
Modes: Slayer (Legacy & BR), KOTH (Legacy & BR), Oddball (Legacy & BR)

A remake of Halo 3's map Foundry in Halo Infinite Forge.

Originally part of the Heroic Map Pack, Foundry changed the game for Halo. As it became the Forger's playground, it’s fitting that we see it return, via Forge, in Halo Infinite.

The Pit

Bookmark
Credits: UneeQ TV, Mr Greencastle, MiKRips, Artifice
Modes: Slayer (Legacy & BR), KOTH (Legacy & BR), Oddball, CTF (Legacy & BR), Assault Neutral Bomb (Legacy & BR)

A remake of Halo 3's map The Pit in Halo Infinite Forge.

What else is there to say about the Pit? This is the classic, go-to competitive map. Equally balanced, perfectly symmetrical…It all comes down to gameplay and teamwork.

High Ground

Bookmark
Credits: UneeQ TV, Mr Greencastle, MiKRips, ArtN00b
Modes: Slayer (Legacy & BR), One Flag CTF (Legacy & BR), Assault One Bomb (Legacy & BR)

A remake of Halo 3's High Ground in Halo Infinite Forge.

High Ground excels at objective modes, especially one-sided ones. Get ready to storm up the hill to plant the bomb or grab the flag. Go on foot or use a Mongoose. Just watch out for rockets.


Remember, we’re watching to see what you are playing and the data will determine what modes stick around at the end of the Operation so vote with your gameplay.

It’s a blast from the past and we’ll see you on the battlefield!
