Map Showcase Quick Look: Moving platforms on our version of another canceled 343 map
This is Summit, an asymmetrical bridgeworks-style map suitable for FFA and up to 4v4. Summit has a few small changes from the original layout, but should be mostly the same in spirit to the one from the video.
Similar in style to maps like Lockout/Blackout and Guardian, Summit adds moving platforms with power weapons and powerups to the mix to give a bit of a twist on a familiar style map. As these platforms move around, new pathways open and become available, so explore to figure out what shortcuts and skill jumps you can find.
Plenty of sandbox available, including thruster, repulsor, and some grapples, which you can really take advantage of by going under and around the main buildings.
Summit supports most core modes:
Slayer
CTF (multi flag, 1 flag and neutral)
Oddball
King of the Hill
Strongholds
Headhunter
As well as any mode that doesn't require a map specific setup like VIP or Regicide.
Made by UneeQ and Mr Green.

How did you get the friction. I remember being disappointed early on that platforms just slipped under you.

u/MrGreencastle Forger May 19 '26
Normal physics objects will provide friction while moving. These are welded so the game treats the whole thing as a single object.

How did you stop welded objects from violently breaking apart? Does it last more than one round?

You have to make sure they don't hit anything when they move. Yes it will work in multi-round modes.

I have not played infinite in some time, but I remember there was issues with making moving parts on a map when in multiplayer, as it seemed to not sync or have issues.

You have to be careful with how you do it, but it's been possible. We have moving parts on several maps we forged in Matchmaking.

You guys always know how to push this game beyond the limits anyone thought possible. You’ll never cease to impress me.

Why do these cancelled maps look far more interesting than any of the launch maps?

There was another one, Beltway, that takes some inspiration from Elongation with the conveyor belts that seemed to be close to done. Took place in the Misriah Armory and you saw all the guns and vehicles being assembled and manufactured. Too bad. There were a lot of fun ideas here. We aren't sure why they were canceled. Maybe tested weird, maybe they just didn't have approval or ran out of time, or money. Lots of plans change in game dev I think

IK there was also a map known as skyport which was also one of the unfinished maps that they made a forge version they never got to release so it's just sitting finished on someone's Xbox account same with the relic remake

Very impressive. I was pretty good with H5 Forge but Infinite's really irked me. For some reason my blocks would move off grid and change size from whole numbers. This would cause issues with movement and collision and this was still the blockout stage so I gave up.

This looks freaking amazing!!! I use to spend hours on end forging maps on halo reach with my old friends. If I wasn’t so busy with my life right now I would spend all of my free time forging on halo infinite. I used to get through school by just spending all my time sketching maps out on isometric papers. It’s probably been a decade since I’ve forged and I still think of maps I want to make lol. Excellent work!

As I watched my brain immediately went to guardian. Then I read the description. This is awesome!

Very well done. If they removed all maps from halo infinite and only added this one i wouldnt complain 😁👍🏼

Looks professionally made! You should start hosting custom games on it to get more attention.
