Hot off the presses—it’s time for a new Forge Features blog. Featuring original creations and remakes alike, this is bound to have a few maps that will catch your eye.



As a reminder, each of the creations shared below can also 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> (so you can bookmark them online) and in Halo Infinite.



Now, let’s take a look at some fantastic new Forge maps so you can give them a bookmark and play them the next time you jump online.

Sometimes it’s nice to remake old maps and just chill out.

Back with more scripting tutorials, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="VidGamesPete (opens in a new tab)" href="https://twitter.com/VidGamesPete" target="_blank">VidGamesPete</a> recently put together another useful walkthrough on how to push a message to a player’s HUD in-game. We covered this briefing in our Forge Fundamentals video on scripting last year, but this detailed explanation is bound to help you get a better understanding of how it all flows together.

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.

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!

A remake of Foundation from Halo 2, but with at least six-hundred times the detail to make it feel like a genuinely lived-in courtyard.



Thankfully, you don’t need to go through any convoluted steps to unlock this one!

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!

In his most recent video, we learn how to build a motion sensor walkway. This example assembles a bridge underneath a player as they walk across a gap that would otherwise be empty.

Forge Features: January 13, 2023

Welcome to our third installment of Forge Features—our final one for 2022 before the Holidays!



The community continues to make amazing Forge content that we at 343 are thoroughly impressed by; every week is made all the more exciting with the knowledge that we’re going to see some truly inspired creations, so let’s take a look at some of our latest favorites.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/39649f84-aa6b-4ba9-872e-be3841f07c36"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="2560" height="1440" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Mausoleum-scaled.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-53983" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Mausoleum-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Mausoleum-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Mausoleum-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Mausoleum-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Mausoleum-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Mausoleum-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Mausoleum-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></a></figure>



Mausoleum is a map that is inspired by and takes elements of The Pit from Halo 3, something that you can see in the screenshot above, and reforges them into something altogether new.



I love the Delta Halo-inspired aesthetic, the angular simplicity and symmetry, the creative use of decals—all of which come together to make this map feel like a true, living location as well as a stellar multiplayer map for some good ol’ fashioned Slayer action!

Absolution has some familiar aspects of a few different maps. You might find yourself thinking of Guardian from Halo 3 at times, Sanctuary from Halo 2 at others, and you’ll notice that this is also very aesthetically reminiscent of the ancient structures seen on Delta Halo. There really is just something about those weathered stone structures…



This is a fantastic 4v4 map which supports Slayer, CTF, and King of the Hill. Hop in and give it a go with some friends!

SANDTRAP REMAKE Credits: JRGodoy Bookmark: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/08d7d9f0-e319-4088-9ba1-3e0f0fc9e9fe" target="_blank">Sandtrap Remake</a>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/08d7d9f0-e319-4088-9ba1-3e0f0fc9e9fe"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="2560" height="1440" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Sandtrap-scaled.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-53997" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Sandtrap-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Sandtrap-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Sandtrap-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Sandtrap-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Sandtrap-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Sandtrap-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2022/12/Sandtrap-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></a></figure>



The culmination of these ancient and weathered stone-based structures naturally brings us to a remake of this iconic favorite.



It’s Sandtrap as you know and love it! Well, if you want to get technical, it’s actually Sand Tarp—the variant of the map in Halo 3 without Elephants.



I hear this version of the map is so loyal to the original, JRGodoy has ensured exactly the same number of grains of sand are present on this remade version. I leave the task of confirming the veracity of that statement (which I definitely didn’t just make up) to you.

Betrayal might be one of my favorite maps I’ve seen thus far. If you’re a fan of the Forerunner aesthetics of Halo: Combat Evolved, that fascinating mix of alien materials which evoke stone and metal, you’re going to have a great time just walking around this incredible interior space.



No expense has been spared in paying close attention to detail, and you might well imagine that this could have been a real Forerunner space in the campaign.

Trick jumps in Halo. Are they super cool? They sure are! Can I do them? Absolutely not…



But if you’re among those skilled movement artists with a penchant for chain slides, curbslides, equipment jumps, and so on, you should totally check out this movement course from Lord Guntaz.



Current record time is apparent 5 minutes and 50 seconds by Exi, so go and see if you can beat them!

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">COMMUNITY CREATIONS</h2>



Moving over to additional Community Creations, we’re kicking off with DEWtheMCCOY who is now on day 34 of expediently covering the things you’ve been making.

</div></figure>



Of course, it always helps to be reminded of the basics, right? Koma has helpfully put together a Forge tutorial which covers just that, which should be useful for folks just joining us—or those who simply want a reminder of the new systems and features of the Halo Infinite Forge Beta.

And finally, PengiPlays has put together a tutorial on how to script player traits through nodegraphs. Active camo, additional shields, infinite ammo, player gravity, headshot protection… all of these and more are options at your disposal!

And that’ll about do it for this issue. With the Holiday break coming up, we hope you all have some time to rest and jump into Forge to let loose your creativity.



Forge Features will be back in January, and we can’t wait to see what you’ve made!

Forge Features: December 13, 2022

The best thing is when a Halo player logs into the game and says those three magical words: “It’s Forgin’ time!”



It’s barely been a month since the Winter Update released, bringing with it the long-awaited Forge Beta, and already we have seen the floodgates well and truly open to endless waves of excitement and creativity over what people are making with this tool.



And so, that naturally brings us to our second Forge Feature, where we showcase some of our favorite community-created content. Let’s get right to it!

Narrows from Halo 3, as you’ve never experienced it before…



We’ve not even given you a Banished-themed Forge palette yet, but here it is, plain as day (or, well… night)—Narrows has been revamped with an all-new aesthetic and it looks utterly spectacular.



You know this dance floor well. Man cannons on either side of a long, multi-level bridge—perfect for those intense sniper duels. Rockets on the light bridge at bottom-mid, Overshield and Active Camo on opposing sides. It’s a map that rewards strong teamwork and precise coordination, and it looks pretty as both Forerunner skybridge and a Banished outpost.

While we’re on the subject of map remakes, this one is a 1:1 recreation of Lockout from Halo 2.



Return to perhaps one of the most iconic multiplayer maps in all of gaming, whether that’s to 1v1 a friend of yours and settle a score or if you’re looking for some classic team-based 4v4 action.



This Lockout remake supports classic modes—Slayer, King of the Hill, Oddball. Grab your friends and indulge that Halo 2 nostalgia.



Oh, and er… please let us know if you spot any supernatural occurrences. It’s been said that old places like these are known to have the odd ghost…

BANSHEE BATTLE: SPACE COVE Credits: zreakz Bookmark: <a href="https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/1cf403f6-dfad-44fa-a613-219fbaba7e39" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">Banshee Battle: Space Cove</a>

Look, sometimes you just wanna get together with your friends, hop into some Banshees, and shoot at each other while navigating a bunch of asteroids. Sometimes, that’s what Halo is all about.



Zreakz knows this well and has created just such a map to satisfy that need.



Play Banshee Battle: Space Cove with up to 28 players and jump in with either FFA or Team Slayer modes for some dogfighting carnage. Zreakz recommends setting the respawn timer to instant for more hectic gameplay, and I think that’s a recommendation worth listening to!

Are you a fan of Derelict from Halo: CE? Outcast from RyzenFox64 isn’t exactly that, but it certainly feels like it’s got a lot of that map in its DNA—the Forerunner aesthetic of the original Xbox map has been lovingly recreated with Halo Infinite’s modern fidelity, and that same eerie sense of isolation in a long-forgotten place is palpably present from the few glimpses you can get of the outside (ring)world.



Also, seeing the blocky green teleporters from Halo: CE recreated in Infinite just really hits the spot!



Hop into the map to explore the artistry that went into its creation, or try it out for some 4v4 Slayer and King of the Hill.

Solution is one of those maps where every detail in every corner had me saying “Wow!” out loud. The screenshot above gives just an impression of the space, which is dense in its immersive atmosphere.



Both at a glance and upon close inspection, it’s a map that you could quite convincingly tell someone shipped with the game. With an extensive credits list of the dirty dozen collaborators who contributed to this map, the overall cohesion and thoughtfulness of this map really is admirable.



2-12 players are recommended. If you somehow find yourself stuck wondering what to play next during a customs night, this is your Solution. (Come for the map recommendations, stay for the toe-curlingly terrible puns!)
