With 2024 coming to a close, here's a few #HaloInfinite Forge maps I finished last year:

12v12 map: "Stormlight"
4v4 maps: "Lustrous" and "Worldbender"

Currently working on another art update for my reimagination of Halo 4's "Haven", called "Galahad".
Here's to 2025!

@TechnicalHalo I use preset M for just about everything, haven't really seen any ghosting in any games since I started using it.

@Ryan_WXH I remember finding his alternate Reddit accounts a while back, very interesting how he constantly shifts between acting as himself and as an unrelated person. Also, very interesting usernames.

@rockisinfinite In hindsight, Reach and 3 both had pretty limited customization. I'm personally very happy that you can create all of 3/Reach's Spartans in Infinite along with all new combinations, especially with how limited most games nowadays are customization-wise.

@SteveDownes117 That's my hero. 💚

[Mark D / DarkMaiming @darkmaiming]

@XLR8__ This is truly our Halo: Edge of Dawn.

[Mark D / DarkMaiming @darkmaiming]

@DenRezeSucks @rockisinfinite I made this map about 500 days after launch; it couldn't have been there at launch.

@DesertLightnin @NilesSankey I think you misread my post. Not about lore accuracy whatsoever, but I'm saying that Noble 6 in the cutscene looked cooler than the game itself, which violates the rule.

The rule was: "Never make the player in the cinematic feel more "badass" than the actual game."

@Unyshek -Loved the reflectivity of the Forerunner materials, the purpleness of the Spirit, and especially the water and terrain. Chief looks he came straight out of a Blur cutscene, but it's in real-time.

-Would love to see more stars in the daytime sky, skybox was still great though

Why am I waking up this morning to the US GOVERNMENT using Halo for political propaganda, using AI no less 🤦‍♀️ get outta here bro

@AbhorrentBeing @BrokenGamezHDR_ Right, but the newest Doom game does indeed have sprint:

My honest impression of seeing the new Halo Campaign Evolved is this:

I absolutely love where this is going. The game looks and feels genuine. It's gorgeous in a way I wish we could have built it originally back in 2001.

It warms my heart to see Halo CE like this.

[John Junyszek @Unyshek]

@andrewpanton Nicely done!

[Mark D / DarkMaiming @darkmaiming]

@Lucid_TW Definitely some interesting tech there, was able to replicate with the Quantum. A well-placed plasma can destroy a portal's visual indicator. Also, if someone else gets on top of that portal, it'll just teleport you next to the portal in the closest cardinal direction.
