Halo Infinite’s winter update brings new maps with lovely architectureBuilt entirely within the new Forge beta

Built entirely within the new Forge beta

A Halo Infinite spartan stands between two screenshots of new maps coming to the game, one with angular indoor geometry and one with grassy outdoor spaces.

Halo Infinite’s winter update will finally bring network co-op and the Forge Beta to the drips-and-drabs scifi shooter. While those are large, long-coveted features, a new trailer focuses on a couple of smaller additions: two new multiplayer maps, and a new mode, Covert One Flag. And one of the maps looks particularly lovely.

I could only be more interested in this if it was called Argyll instead andset in Oban.

The other interesting thing about Argyle is that it’s the first map “built entirely within Forge”, the level editor that’s coming to Halo Infinite with the winter update. Detachment, the other map, was built in it too, and it mixes similar indoor areas with more open outdoor spaces.

Covert One Flag mode, meanwhile, is a round-based variant on One Flag CTF. Teams are split into attackers and defenders with slightly different tools; attackers have Active Camo, while defenders have Threat Sensors to help spot those sneaky opponents trying to steal their flag.

Halo Infinite’s winter update will arrive on November 8th.
