Summary
A talentedHalo Infiniteplayer has shared their awesome parkour map, which makes the game feel a little likeMirror’s Edge. Footage of the map in action shows there’s more toHalo Infinitethan just being an impressive first-person shooter.
The addition of Forge mode was a complete game-changer forHalo Infinite. It was controversially absent from the game’s launch, as it wasn’t yet finished, but theHalostaple was eventually added in what proved to be the best version of the map creator to date. Many community-created Forge maps have even made their way intoHalo Infinite’s matchmaking playlists due to their high quality. It’s impressive what players have managed to achieve with Forge mode so far, and players continue to find new ways to push it to its limits. One gamer even recreated a classicHalo: Combat Evolvedlevel inInfinite’s Forge, really flexing what is possible.
Redditor Zezno_ shared their footage of the impressiveHalo InfiniteForge map, which prioritizes parkour over everything else. It makes use of severalHalo Infinitemovement mechanics, including clambering and double-jumping. There are even a few dynamic elements, which require players to time their movements perfectly in order to succeed. At the time of writing, the map is still a work in progress, and Zezno_ has “no real idea it will be finished.”
New Halo Infinite Parkour Map Makes the Game Feel Like Mirror’s Edge
According to the player, they decided to make this map as they’re “not much of a fan of most of the parkour maps the community makes as they just feel like “curb slide simulators” and I just don’t find them very interesting.” Parkour maps are quite niche but are satisfying to play, thanks toHalo Infinite’sgreat traversal mechanics. Hopefully, Zezno_ will share even more as this Forge map comes along further.
TheHalofranchise feels like it’s at a make-or-break point in its history. With 343 Industries rebranding to Halo Studios, it feels like the slate has been wiped clean for another attempt at success. Meanwhile, rumors continue circulating thatHalois coming to PlayStation 5, a statement that would have seemed unthinkable even a few years ago. If true, it would represent a significant opportunity forHaloto capture an entirely new section of the gaming community - those who have remained loyal to PlayStation over the years.
