Summary
- Halo Infinite’s Forge mode has revolutionized the game, allowing players to create impressive maps.
- A player has designed a parkour map reminiscent of Mirror’s Edge in Halo Infinite, showcasing diverse movement mechanics.
- The map is still a work in progress, with the creator aiming to provide a unique parkour experience beyond standard designs.
A talented Halo Infinite player has shared their awesome parkour map, which makes the game feel a little like Mirror’s Edge. Footage of the map in action shows there’s more to Halo Infinite than just being an impressive first-person shooter.
The addition of Forge mode was a complete game-changer for Halo Infinite. It was controversially absent from the game’s launch, as it wasn’t yet finished, but the Halo staple was eventually added in what proved to be the best version of the map creator to date. Many community-created Forge maps have even made their way into Halo Infinite‘s matchmaking playlists due to their high quality. It’s impressive what players have managed to achieve with Forge mode so far, and players continue to find new ways to push it to its limits. One gamer even recreated a classic Halo: Combat Evolved level in Infinite‘s Forge, really flexing what is possible.

Halo Infinite Fans Aren’t Happy About New Weapon
Halo Infinite fans are extremely unhappy after details emerge about the return of a classic weapon in the series.
Redditor Zezno_ shared their footage of the impressive Halo Infinite Forge map, which prioritizes parkour over everything else. It makes use of several Halo Infinite movement mechanics, including clambering and double-jumping. There are even a few dynamic elements, which require players to time their movements perfectly in order to succeed. At the time of writing, the map is still a work in progress, and Zezno_ has “no real idea it will be finished.”
New Halo Infinite Parkour Map Makes the Game Feel Like Mirror’s Edge
According to the player, they decided to make this map as they’re “not much of a fan of most of the parkour maps the community makes as they just feel like “curb slide simulators” and I just don’t find them very interesting.” Parkour maps are quite niche but are satisfying to play, thanks to Halo Infinite‘s great traversal mechanics. Hopefully, Zezno_ will share even more as this Forge map comes along further.
The Halo franchise feels like it’s at a make-or-break point in its history. With 343 Industries rebranding to Halo Studios, it feels like the slate has been wiped clean for another attempt at success. Meanwhile, rumors continue circulating that Halo is coming to PlayStation 5, a statement that would have seemed unthinkable even a few years ago. If true, it would represent a significant opportunity for Halo to capture an entirely new section of the gaming community – those who have remained loyal to PlayStation over the years.
