One of the great things about 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer is the maps. Each map looks and feels meticulously designed, and the level of polish from 343 Industries is abundantly clear. There are 🐻three different sizes of maps in Halo Infinite: small, medium, and l⛎arge. They take place in a wide variety of locations, times, and terrains.
This list will rank every map released by 343 Industries according to their൩ fun factor. Since each map has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, the only fair way 🍷to stack these maps up is by how well they can generate the most fun Halo moments.
Updated March 21, 2023 by Amanda Hurych: Echoes Within, Halo Infinite's third season, has given us three fantastic new maps, so we've updated this list to include them all. We have the small but highly vertical Chasm, we have the sniper-friendly Cliffhanger, and we have the absolute star of the show, Oasis. If you've been thinking about dipping back into Halo Infinite, these three maps are a good reason to revisit the multiplayer scene, even if it's just for a short while.
15 Launch Site 🦩
Launch Site takes place in a long corridor inside a rocket silo. The center of t🌼his map is an open dogleg road that directly ties the opposing sides together. Each end offers plenty of spots for teams to defend themselves, but the space in between them will leave you exposed.
Fortunately, you can take one of the few side routes where you can sneak towards the other side. These passages will give you good sniping positions and introduce opportunities for short-range firefights. This map features everything you might want from it. At the same time, it's arguably a case of following the map-making rule book a bit too rigorously. As a result, despite the game's polished visuals, there's an overriding sense that Launch Site is... we don't want to say generic, but... generic.
14 Deadlock
Deadlock is a massive open concept map designed fꦆor Big Team Battles. On the one hand, the scale is wild. On the other hand, several distinct paths from north to south — including cavernous tunnels on either perimeter — lend it the feeling of a large pillbox.
This map is far from bad, but marrying its size to such somewhat linear layout (we say somewhat because, technically, you can choose the high ground between paths - at your peril) can often make objective-based games like Capture the Flag a tad tedious. Running down a long and linear path doesn't offer much by way of excitement.
13 ♑ Clif🌺fhanger
Cliffhanger was introduced to us during Halo Infinite's third season, and it is a welcome addition. It's a sprawling map that is large enough for players to have a lot of space, but sadly not vehicle friendly. It makes for a great location for Capture The Flag if you're willing to hoof it instead of taking a nice Warthog ride.
A lift that can shoot your Spartan to a more remote section of the map (called Sanctuary) gives you a sense of mobility that might not otherwise be there. It's definitely the sort of map where you want to nab a long-range weapon of some sort and find some high ground to pick off opponents from a distance. If that's your thing.
12 Bazaar
Bazaar is a testament to small-sized Halo maps and why they are a perfect fit for the series' trademark gameplay. These maps reward quick movement, clever thinking, and perfect reaction timing. This one will make getting right back into the action take you mere seconds, and you'll be constantly engaged.
That's not to say it's too small. Or rather, its small size is supplemented by enough doors, corners, and outdoor spans to make r𒅌unning and gunning just one possible approach. Ambushes are frequent, and typically brutally short affairs. Check Ba♔zaar for Slayer and similar fare.
11 Highpower
Highpower is an enormous map done right because it directs the combat into a central area. So, while the ma🎉p is massive, you will probably run into more fun combat s🌺ituations.
Moreover, the various paths and verticality create loads of opportunities for clever fighting tactics. There is no shortage of epic sniping hideouts and tight combat zones for you to explore, whilst at the same💜 time, it taps into the strengths inherent to Big Team Battle. That epic sense of scale i💞s on full display here.
10 Streets
The Streets map has one of the best themes in Halo Infinite. It is not too often that we get to see city environments in the Halo franchise, so when we do get them, we have to hope they'll stand out in all the right ways. Centered around a city square, with open buildings to navigate (and snipe from!) in every direction, it's a focused affair with lovely neon lights to color our, uh, murder sprees?
9 🐻 Fragmentation ꦐ
Fragmentation is like Highpower's younger sibling and is more streamlined than the rest of the large maps. As a result, combat encounters are typically more intense and wide in scope. Plus, the increased verticality of this map keeps the combat compelling and opens up exciting strategies.
Fragmentation is the best map for epic team-sized confrontations and bombastic combat scenarios. The map design perfectly creates these moments of controlled chaos. If it weren't for a certain post-launch addition, we'd go so far as to label it the best Big Team map in Halo Infinite's arsenal.
8 Live Fire
If you are looking for an excellent Slayer map that features both indoor and outdoor combat zones, then Live Fire is for you. It's the perfect size map for close-encounter combat scenarios. The main building sports multiple levels, but rather than doors and elevators, players climb and descend its heights through slowly rising corridors.
The result? The kind of 'watch your six and your twelve, and by goodness, don't look down' that classic entries like Halo 2 made so famous all those years ago.
7 Behemoth
Before we begin with this one, we can't help but love its name. Behemoth shares its title with one of Halo 3's most wonderful vehicles, which was given a sandy color scheme as befitted its areas of deployment. We can't imagine this map isn't named in its honor, as its exterior is filled with desert sand.
But how does it play? Quite well, we'd say. A large Forerunner structure covers the majority of Behemoth's area, with lift-supported levels and numerous deadly outcrops. But those of us who stick to the outer edges, where the desert's beneath our boots, can attempt to keep a close eye on everything indoors — or wreak havoc with Behemoth's multiple vehicular options.
6 Catalyst
There's something to be said for how slowly 343 Industries has been rolling out its updates. We know. We get the frustration. All the more reason to hope that, when new content does drop, it's of a higher caliber. Catalyst makes the cut. Not only does it do the excellent Forerunner aesthetic justice, but the inclusion of that long midway ramp with a highly desirable weapon spawn at the center adds a few quicker heartbeats to the experience.
Further narrow bridges connect to heavily contested spots in team-based gameplay, while solo fare likꦍe Slayer will see you darting to and fro or lingering just around a corner, waiting for unsuspecting prey.
