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>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.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/H5HuskyRaid.jpg" alt="Halo 5 screenshot of the Assault on the Control Room map" class="wp-image-67739" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/H5HuskyRaid.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/H5HuskyRaid-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/H5HuskyRaid-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/H5HuskyRaid-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/H5HuskyRaid-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/05/H5HuskyRaid-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



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 rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/prefabs/acb65b5e-520f-4878-a198-fca4fe723913" target="_blank">343 Husky Raid – Alley Template</a></li><li><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/prefabs/7014de3b-b39d-4f0e-aa99-3da270ac5447" target="_blank">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 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!

It’s Coagulation, the timeless Halo 2 classic as you know and love it… in the snow! Stay frosty.

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.



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



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!

Forge Features: May 26, 2023

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!

<h2>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:

Forge Features: April 28, 2023

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.

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 (<a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/community-corner-red-nomster">who has previously talked about Forge in our Community Corner chat</a>) has showcased what his experience of three-hundred hours of Forge culminated in, giving a lengthy look at his new map “Overdrive.”

That wraps up another issue of Forge Features, which means it’s time to jump back into Halo Infinite for some Community Collection fun—tie up those Event Challenges for Fracture: FIREWALL, and head into Custom Games to try out some of these fantastic map remakes.



Oh, and go make some more cool stuff in Forge!

Community Cartography 009

Forge Features: April 14, 2023

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.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/590025e2-f6d5-42a4-8e60-5bec5ec5567d"><img src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/CC-Solution.jpg" alt="Halo Infinite screenshot of Solution" class="wp-image-63892" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/CC-Solution.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/CC-Solution-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/CC-Solution-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/CC-Solution-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/CC-Solution-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2023/04/CC-Solution-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>



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.



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



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: CE and Halo 4, you’ll feel right at home on Nemesis where this ancient facility is becoming one with the natural formations around it.



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



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!

Community Collection Update

Forge Features returns with a new batch of community-created content we think are thoroughly worth bookmarking and checking out with your friends!

<h2>COMMUNITY CREATIONS</h2>



In what is quite possibly the coolest thing you will see this week, UNBROKEN ONYX has released a video of their remake of the epic final Warthog run at the end of Halo 3.

Community Cartography 006

Forge Features: February 24, 2023

Long before the Halo Infinite Forge Beta launched with the Winter Update back in November, we knew we were going to have our collective minds blown by the things the community would make and share when we handed over the tools of map and mode creation. Three months later, we are still seeing that creativity pushed to new heights every week! 



We delivered the Custom Games Browser to Halo Infinite ahead of schedule in December, giving you the ability to make every night a custom games night with friends and foes you just haven’t gotten acquainted with yet. 



And now, on the cusp of Season 3, we’re answering the highly requested call to bring community-made Forge maps to their own unique matchmaking playlist. 



Let’s take a look at what awaits you in the Community Collection playlist, available now!

A map we previously showed off in <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/forge-features-3" target="_blank">our third issue of Forge Features</a>, Absolution has some familiar aspects of a few different maps—from Halo 2’s Sanctuary to Halo 3’s Guardian, with that weathered, stone-based Forerunner aesthetic that defined the look of Delta Halo.

All hands have been summoned to battle stations on this stunning UNSC-ified spiritual remake of Halo 2’s Midship.

This is just the beginning for the Community Collection playlist, which will go on to be updated with further community content in the future—we’ll have further details to share with you on that front down the road.

Community Collection Playlist Launch

It’s that time again for another issue of Forge Features!



We’re doing things Halo 2-style for this particular outing, as there have been a considerable number of stunning remakes and reimaginings of both campaign and multiplayer spaces from the 2004 classic.



As a reminder, these maps can be found in the “Recommended” section of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc" target="_blank">the Content Browser here on Halo Waypoint</a> and in Halo Infinite.

The year is 2005. It’s the height of summer and the Maptacular Pack has just released for Halo 2!



Backwash was made to resemble the final area of the campaign mission 343 Guilty Spark from Halo: Combat Evolved, with additional cool details like 2401 Penitent Tangent flying around. It was famously the only map to be removed from matchmaking during the heyday of Halo 2, as the fog which compromises the player’s visibility couldn’t be loaded properly.



I used to enjoy playing “cat-and-mouse”-type custom games on Backwash where players had active camouflage and snipers. Now I can relive that thanks to this very loyal remake!

I love interactive map elements. Even when it’s something as simple as being able to extend a bridge or open a gate, or activate a shield somewhere… being able to subtly alter the way a map plays always makes me love it more.



On Apostate, one of the central features of the top part of the map is its light bridge. Shoot the shock cores on either side of the map and you’ll disable it, sending any Spartans caught on the bridge plunging to the depths below, leaving you to reactivate the bridge from a nearby terminal.



Sometimes true brilliance is found in the simplest ideas, and that’s exactly what you get with Apostate!

It’s the dense alleys and housing districts of Outskirts from the Halo 2 campaign, but greatly expanded in detail and there are no Jackals in this courtyard.



Look, if “No Jackal Snipers!” doesn’t sell you on a reservation at Hotel Zanzibar, I don’t know what will.

While not a direct recreation of any particular space, Vagabond evokes the neon-lit cityscapes seen throughout the series. There are elements of Plaza, Streets, and other urban maps that give a grounding sense of familiarity to this city of dreams.

I’m a big fan of seeing how creatively folks can marry the visual simplicity of Halo: Combat Evolved’s Forerunner aesthetics with some of the design sensibilities introduced in Halo 4. In terms of appearance, that’s exactly what you get with Nemesis, which also boasts an incredible level of detail in its out-of-map environments—sentinels fly into distant cavernous openings, birds pass overhead…



Getting caught unawares because you’ve found yourself staring at every little thing on this map is definitely a danger!
