Site Unseen
So... what’s behind the Live Fire door?
When Season 3 kicked off in March, we saw Spartan Dinh awaken after having his memories invaded by the Banished AI Iratus. We met with Dinh as he handed over his well-worn M392 Bandit, telling us to get good with the weapon and then come and find him. Meanwhile, during a live fire exercise, an errant grenade detonated by a door and revealed the symbol of the Office of Naval Intelligence...
The time has come to catch up with Spartan Dinh and explore the Site Unseen.

Forge Features
To no one’s surprise, the Forge creations that have been popping up recently just continue to get better and better. From prefabs, to remakes, to original creations, today’s Forge Features blog has it all.
As a reminder, all the builds in today’s blog are also in the Recommended section of the Content Browser in Halo Infinite and on Halo Waypoint.
Now, let’s take a look at the latest from the Foundry!
You can see just a few of these incredibly detailed prefabs thanks to this video from Ducain23 & ForgeHub:
Matchmaking Submissions
As mentioned in yesterday’s Community Update, we’re rolling 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 will 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:
Once you apply one of the new 343ask tags, our team will be able to find it and give your creation a look.
And, that’s all we’ve got for this edition of Forge Features. We hope you keep building, finding, and playing even more wonderful community-made content until next time.
See you all then!

Forge Features
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 stunningly faithful recreation of the courtyard of ONI SWORD Base from Halo: Reach, which was present in the campaign and as a Firefight map. This iteration also includes some Covenant ships glassing the planet in the background.
You’ve fought your way through the courtyard, but you’ve got to fall back inside SWORD Base for the skirmishes to come. I hope you brought your Grappleshot... and stop camping in that elevator room—yes, you know who you are!
A truly timeless classic. With every remake of this map, every memory that has so lovingly recreated it, there is something new to appreciate.
Community Creations
Red Nomster (who has previously talked about Forge in our Community Corner chat) 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 Collection Playlist UPDATE
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.
Solution
Credits: I Crush All, NightAvenger01 Bookmark: Solution
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.
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: Combat Evolved and Halo 4, you’ll feel right at home on Nemesis where this ancient facility is becoming one with the natural formations around it.
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!
