Summary
A dedicatedHalo Infiniteplayer has shown off their impressive creation, remaking one ofHalo: Combat Evolved’s most iconic levels in Forge mode. The addition of AI toForge mode inHalo Infinitehas been a game-changer, opening up the possibilities for creators like never before.
Forge mode has been a staple of theHaloseries ever since its debut in 2007’sHalo 3. While those initial tools were pretty barebones and required plenty of workarounds to reach their full power, it was clear that there was a ton of potential. With every subsequent release from both Bungie and 343 Industries, those tools have only grown in power and complexity, and the community has risen to the challenge each time. One player even spent1400 hours recreating a classic map inHalo Infinite’s Forge, which shows how much depth these tools have.
The amazing creation was shown off by Redditor nicko2407, a full recreation ofHalo: Combat Evolved’s Assault on the Control Room mission, complete with enemy AI inHalo Infinite. Gameplay shown includes vehicle combat, one of the defining features of the level, as well as co-op play, with the remake supporting up to four players. The campaign inHalo: Combat Evolvedhas no shortage of iconic levels that hold up to this day, so it’s interesting to see how one of the greatest of all holds up inHalo Infinite’s modern sandbox.
Since the release of AI for Forge mode, the recreation of previous campaign maps has been a hot topic for the community. The fact that it’s now possible at all means that there will always be players willing to try their hand, and nicko2407 isn’t the first. Another dedicated gamer recentlyrecreated an iconicHalo 3mission in Forge mode, and presumably, it will reach a point one day when every level from previousHalotitles is playable in the newest title.
WhileHalo Infinite’s community remains strong thanks to robust Forge tools and consistently strong updates from 343 Industries, plans for future games in the franchise remain unclear. Some feel thatit’s time forHaloto hit the reset buttonwith a reboot that goes back to basics, especially given the increasingly complex sandbox seen in recent titles. As one of the most iconic franchises of all time, hopefully 343 Industries can figure out the right path forHalo. The post-launch support given toInfinitehas certainly been a big step in the right direction, and fans can only hope that it will continue.
