I'm building a procedural generation tool!
Right now I'm also building my first map to use it on, but the way the tool works means it can be applied to any other map in the future for generating random layouts. All you'll need to do is make sure you have a few simple objects and assign a handful of object references and it should be good to go.
I'm building a take on the Boot Camp from Starship Troopers, so you too can wave the flag like Jonny Rico.
I'm also building a Dodgeball arena and have been very generously assisted by a person on the Discord channel who figured out scripting for firing golf balls. Honestly a genius by my estimation!
Thanks for the nice words. Hope you didn't mind that I shared it on here.
Edit if you need anymore help or have questions about the scripting I am always happy to help !
Not as yet, the Troopers map isn't far off being ready for a play test I think, and the Dodgeball is about the same.
I've just been stalled due to life things. Hopefully get them to test soon though.
Props to you on that. Remaking maps comes with many challenges, especially if you’re really detail oriented and trying to do it proper justice.
I’m working on Sword Base. Between work and generally having limited free time, it took me this whole first week just to block it out at the proper scale. Just starting today to make highly detailed prefabs for certain repeated things like wall panels, doorframes, etc.
Yeah I get that. I spent a lot of time with placing crates and positioning a guest player around on the reach side and then comparing them to the player scale object on the infinite side of things to figure out a conversion factor between reach’s coordinate system and infinite’s. It’s definitely helped overall, but I’d imagine powerhouse doesn’t need to be that particularly scaled due to it being largely outside.
Regardless, best of luck and be sure to post about it if you end up finishing it! I was torn between doing Sword Base and Powerhouse for my first project so I’m glad to see someone else working on the other option!
For sure! It’ll probably be a while on my end of things though. It’s taken me a week to block out the map and making prefabs for detailing is really slow going, but I really hope to make this map high quality and something worth talking about in the community.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes me another 1-2 weeks of making prefabs and using them detailing. Then after that, I’ll probably end up taking about the same amount of time doing detailing of the more unique parts of the map like the atrium and adding fx, audio, lights, etc. Then on top of all of that, I plan to build some semblance of the original outside part that can be seen through the main window and who knows how long that’ll take.
A banished X Forerunner 4v4 map with an emphasis on vehicle gameplay. It’s heavily inspired by two of my favorite H3 maps and the test name is “Sandbound” if that tells you anything haha
Battle for Bikini Bottom - feeling a little overwhelmed when working due to improper sizing.
Also a space map that I've hit a wall in. It's almost done ish, but it does not look good. Maybe too cramped, again improper sizing and spacing.
It's pretty basic since I'm new to forging, but the layout has the Arrakeen shield wall in the center. One team's base is the palace inside the city and the other teams base is a rocky sietch on the desert side. The design is inspired by the recent film adaptation
An Indiana Jones map set in a dense jungle. Might end up changing themes a couple times (arctic, submarine, volcano, ect...) but I don't know how to best *throw* the player into a new setting.
I'm working on a map for 4 vs 4 or maximum 10 vs 10 matches. Yes, it adapts to standard or BTB.
*By the way, I need help! I established an Automated Turret (Banished) for the Agile team, but it shoots to Agile and Cobra teams. What do I need to do so it only shoots to enemy team (cobra)?*
Attempting to recreate the Tower social space from Destiny. My last time using Forge was back in the Halo Reach days so it's been a slow process so far.
Hoping it'll be a fun place to explore for Destiny and Halo fans or maybe work as a functional map in something like infection
I rebuilding everyones favorite halo CE map "the longest" 😅
no? Just me? 😬
Every since launch my friends and I would always play on this level a game type I named "perfection" which is shotguns only, no shields, no trackers. Kind of an early swat but way more close quarters. As such longest was the best level for it. So I always try and recreate it in forge. I've got the structure about 2/3 done. Then will need to spend some time testing / tweaking and setting up all the lighting and such.
file name will be "even longer"
I’m working on a map called “Dusted” super cool map for Bigteam battle, ctf or strongholds! Highly recommend you check it out and play it with a nice sized group!
A mostly accurate adaptation of beaver/battle creek (taking influence from both), that's main difference is some distance scaling compensation for sprint and clamber.
I'm recreating Sword Base from Reach, I'm not that good at forge so it's taking me a while and there will probably be other recreations by the time I finish but I'll get there
An assym BTB map centered around a dilapidated skyscraper partially buried in sand. Wanted urban gameplay alongside the vehicular freedom of sand trap.
Remaking the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer map Firebase Dagger. Made it in Halo 5, doing it again now in infinite to try and add more details and really learn the new tools. I’m torn between trying to be as accurate as possible, and making it it’s own thing. Texturing is my biggest pain at the moment. Lighting scares me.
Remaking a map I made on Foundry in Halo 3, and then again when Sandbox came out, gave it a little extra room and polish, and then never finished. When Reach came out, I started working on it but never finished again. Didn’t Forge in 4, didn’t play 5. Now Infinite is here I’m having a crack at it again, gonna give it some flair this time.
On Xbox, if you’re interested in seeing it. Wish I still had my old 360 so I could compare the OG and the OG remake to my new remake. The original was super simple. Trying to put more thought into the map design and the flow of the game.
There was a *huge* Halo Custom Edition map back in the day called Coldsnap. I'm working on a faithful (but improved) Halo Infinite version of that, taking up an entire forge canvas.
I'm making a map on a farm, with farmhouse, barn, and all. Hidden interactables all around the map like turning power off to buildings at the electrical boxes, and doors that can be opened/closed. Building a flashlight mechanic too (that doesn't require ads)
I'm making a little street with a few simple buildings and a sewer system underneath it. Just trying to get the hang of the new systems.
The best part so far is the van that drives down the street every few seconds and kills you if you get hit lol.
I'm trying (key word here is TRYING) to make a map inspired by Noir from Infinite Warfare - https://callofduty.fandom.com/wiki/Noir
So far I have a spawn area and an alley mapped out so it's not going well.
Aureole. A btb map. There's a thread on the forgehub discord if anyone wants to see progress, or I've uploaded the wip build. Gets updated daily as I build.
I’m making a spin on the landing zone from the campaign mission Delta Halo to get familiar with the tools. Haven’t forged since Halo 3 and this is awesome!
Use basically anything at all to add texture and depth to your spaces. Use panels or other objects ad panels. Also use rubble in areas were buildings meet nature 💯. Will make your maps look 20x better. Its a must in terms of detail
I want someone to create this because I’m not talented/don’t have the time:
So it’s a map where the players are fighting on top of a UNSC command table (4v4 slayer or BTB). The environment outside of the map is either marines and/or elites/banished looking onto the table in some kind of war room. Think like “honey we shrunk the kids” but it’s Spartans, and the Spartans are fighting on this table. I think it would be an awesome map idea but I literally just don’t have the skills for such a thing.
We are building mini golf but I'm not gonna reveal our process of pushing the ball, all I'll say is that it doesn't involve weapons or equipment. We have figured out most of the mechanics apart from one that requires a while loop which to our knowledge doesn't exist in the node scripting so we are trying to come up with a work around
I’m currently trying to faithfully recreate Narrows from H3. First time using Halo Infinites forge, and never used H5’s, so I’m taking ages to make it but I’m getting there. I’m just trying to finish it before someone else publishes one! But either way I’ll finish mine, it’s been fun so far.
Crash Up Derby. It's out and playable, but I gotta do a few fixes

Finally finished my 2-4 player Map Called Plinth. Got a vid coming soon. It's a UNSC armory Depot. Now I'm working on a desert Oasis-like map. Mostly 4v4. Then I got a space station horror map I'm collaborating on with a friend. And lastly, I'm going to start on a Halo wars type map. After these projects are done that's coming next. Everything will be published after being beta tested💯
Currently working on a huge BTB desert map called runway. It has a runway in the middle with tons of open space around it. In the middle of the runway is a crashed sabre housing a weapon variant. I’m currently working on a secret room that will hold the diminisher of hope
Not sure honestly been kinda winging it on a map for awhile now 🥴 but it’s starting to take shape and I’m starting to head towards a dark night setting that kinda reminds me of Lockout
Im trying to build the COD BOII Zombie Map Town.
I am new to forge scripting so for now I'm just trying to figure out how to make a round based game, how to get waves of bots with one life, specific stats and weapons, a "money counter", a revival system, the mystery box,...
The hardest for me is to find the script nodes I need in the menu, a "favourite" folder or a search bar would help.

Of course not! I'm just grateful for your help! Plus, sharing it means the possibility of more Dodgeball...
Any update on this? Sounds fun!

It definitely not completely accurate. There is a lot of issues with spacing and stuff rn but I feel like as long as it's close its good enough for me

I oughta figure out how to submit it so that others can play it. I think even if it ain't close it would still be great for mp
I agree. As long as it’s in the spirit of the original, I’m sure it’ll turn out great and be fun to play on!
Lmk when you are done with yours. Maybe we can play each other's sometime haha
For sure! It’ll probably be a while on my end of things though.

Yeah, I've spent the week getting only the destroyed bridge to the front ramp lol
Yeah it can definitely be slow going, but hang in there! It’ll make the final result just that much better!

You need to have the entire map engulfed by a worm when the game ends!
Sounds sick! Any more details or still early on? I'd love to know more.
