A Halo Infinite player recently shared an impressive Forge PvP creation inspired by the Vex from Destiny. As both Halo and Destiny are developed by Bungie, these franchises have unintentionally become linked, and this creation beautifully combines elements from both.
The potential of Halo Infinite's Forge Mode is truly awe-inspiring. Although it was added to the game much later than expected, developer 343 Industries took their time to perfect it. The wait has been well worth it, as Forge Mode now offers advanced scripting options for tech-savvy creators to explore and create intricate maps. For instance, one player managed to recreate Pride Rock from The Lion King using Halo Infinite's Forge. While this doesn't showcase the full capabilities of Forge mode, it exemplifies how players are already using it to pay homage to their favorite experiences.
Redditor peacenattress shared an incredible creation that combines the Vex style with Halo Infinite. In Destiny, the Vex are known for their ability to transform planets into enormous machines, and this creation brilliantly represents that visually in a different game engine. The best part is that it appears to be fully functional, making it an exciting prospect to experience this map in either Halo Infinite or Destiny 2.
While the players in the discussion appreciated this creation, they also took the opportunity to humorously criticize the lack of new PvP maps in Destiny 2. One user even remarked that "Halo gets a new Destiny PvP map before Destiny," highlighting the unfortunate situation. The Destiny 2 PvP mode has numerous issues that the community is not satisfied with, and the absence of new maps is arguably the most significant concern. Another user expressed their dissatisfaction by saying "I doubt they spent two years making that map," which is a strong critique directed at Bungie.
The release of Halo Infinite Season 4 brought back the popular Infection mode, which has become a staple of the franchise. Although fans have enjoyed the update, it seems that enthusiasm for the game has waned recently. Despite continuous new content, the player base has not returned in large numbers. With Halo Infinite originally planned for a 10-year content cycle, it remains to be seen if this will still hold true, considering the declining player count. Hopefully, throughout 2023, Halo Infinite can regain momentum. Impressive Forge creations like this will undoubtedly be a significant factor in achieving that goal.
You can currently play Halo Infinite on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
