Fun fact fact fans:

Before CRASH I dabbled in making Halo maps. Here's a few I've worked on for Infinite that I'm still pretty proud of

Jericho Station:

Orbital stations like this once served as a gateway to families wishing to visit distant horizons... But after the Massacre of the Outer Colonies, they serve only as a reminder that peace is now a luxury few can afford. (2 - 8 players)

Ravenrock:

Unnervingly still and bathed in starlight, constructs like these stand in stark contrast to the ever-changing galaxy around them. (8 - 24 players)

Darkwater:

Officially, FARSIDE adapted decommissioned city infrastructure into training facilities for its agents. Few, if any, knew of their true purpose.

Firewater:

An unfinished Firefight variant of Darkwater/Badwater

I need to figure out how Forge works in Infinite, I want to make a Signalis-inspired map.

This is a 1v1 map I made in Halo Infinite’s forge mode called “Aligned”, set inside a mysterious Forerunner structure located deep inside a cave.

The map features a circular ring with two floors connected by teleporters surrounding colourful monoliths arranged in a peculiar pattern.

The pillars were designed with gameplay in mind first as I wanted to make a map where as players move around, different sightlines and cover would present themselves, creating a constantly evolving play-space despite its small size and simple layout.

Despite being happy with how it turned out visually and gameplay-wise, I ended up losing interest in completing it because I couldn’t come up with a good enough answer as to why two cyborg super-soldiers would be fighting inside of an ancient alien stonehenge…

A few more ships

Again and again, I keep coming back to this idea of having a map based around fully controllable custom scripted ships in Forge. It’s so tantalizingly possible. But every time I try, it just never seems to work.

...Probably because I jump straight from “I can control this single block” to “the same principle should work for anything, so I’ll make an entire ship.” Somewhere in the middle there, things get a bit wonky.

Take this guy, for instance. The red cockpit area can be flown around just fine, but once you add in the rest of it, not so much.

I wasn’t all that happy with the design anyway though, so I started over.

This vaguely steampunk-ish thing was meant to fill the same role: a mobile base that a team could use as a jumping-off point into the rest of the map, or maybe duel another identical ship.

The three circles on the ground there are the controls: forward, turn left, turn right. All you gotta do is stand on them. But when I tried it, nothing moved no matter what I did. After a bit of experimentation, I’ve come to the tentative conclusion that if a scripted group involves more than 64 individual objects, it either fails to move or doesn’t move properly. This ship was a little under 100 objects IIRC, so I had to redesign it.

This slimmer version had under 64 parts and could indeed be steered, but for some ungodly reason, it completely refused to move forward. I could get it to go backward, down, up, side to side, anything... except forward. Reorienting the parent object, using a different parent object, reversing the values of the “go backward” script, absolutely nothing worked. :|

...and I never figured out a workaround. There is no happy end to this story, other than that I made something kinda neat. :P
