Halomultiplayer maps are among the most iconic in video games. There are over one-hundredHalomaps and counting sinceHalo: Combat Evolved.Arguably, the earlier games spawnedHalo’smost memorable levels. Still, with recent maps like Exile, 343 Industries has proven know-how for creating maps we like. Remade or remastered, here are ten classic maps that need to be inHalo Infinite.
10Ivory Tower
This tropical map is pureHalo 2nostalgia. The map has an elevator that allows players to ascend to the second or third level. Another option is to use the airlifts beside the elevator. This multi-level map is not overly complex but has a smart design. It would be ideal forHalo Infiniteas a remake or not.
The Rocket Launcher and Energy Sword are two power weapons that work well with the map. Both of these weapons are useful since the map has close quarters and long-distance sections.
9Zanzibar
Halo 2was the birthplace of many iconic maps, many of which were remade in later games. In Zanzibar, players can walk the high path or keep to the ground. It’s a level that leaves little room for vehicles, yet driving around this map is deeply satisfying. Itbarely meets the size requirementsfor vehicles, but it wouldn’t be the same without them.

Halo Infinitewill want to introduce new vehicles to this map and polish the graphics in gorgeous 60 frames per second.
8Zenith
Whether you want to call the map by one if its remake names or “Ascension,” this map deserves to be inHalo Infinite. TheHalo 2: Anniversarymap Zenith proves there is plenty of room for improvement. Zenith is a metallic map that appears quite different from the original. The central dish structure now activates a dome shield that protects players. The Banshee is not superfluous since the Rocket Launcher is smartly placed out of hand’s reach.
7Exile
Halo 4is considered the most polarizing game of the series because of its lackluster campaign. At the same time, 343 Industries attempted something new with its multiplayer character classes. There is more customization thanHalo: Reach, which is one reason why the multiplayer still holds up.

Exile is a vehicle-based map fromHalo 4. The central structure can become a congested area where firefights take place. At the same time, there are wide-open spaces around the central structure. Exile is a memorable level that needs to be inHalo Infinite.
6The Pit
Halo Infiniteshould be a campaign successor and a multiplayer throwback to classicHalomaps. The Pit is symmetrical, besides the lighting differences. It has all the makings of a phenomenal Team Slayer map. The Pit has immense replay value and is one of our favoriteHalo 3maps.
5Guardian
Depending on where you spawn in the map, you could be near a power weapon like a Sniper Rifle or near the tumultuous Gravity Hammer. You have to adapt to each part of the map, as there is nothing symmetrical about Guardian. This map’s scattered layout is commonly used in Halo tournaments, which is yet another reason why it deserves theHalo Infiniteremake treatment.
4Lockout
A frigid isolated level plays with your emotions as you venture out into the haze. Lockout was originally aHalo 2map that was remade as “Blackout” inHalo 3and “Lockdown” inHalo 2: Anniversary. The level has a medium size, which would be ideal forHalo Infinitegame modes like Slayer, Team Slayer, and Oddball. This match is commonly used in tournaments, and we expect nothing to change whenHalo Infinitelaunches on the Xbox Series X.
3Midship
Midship is set on a Covenant warship. The map is cold, foreign, and is well-lit. The map is structured in a way that there are lots of round edges. This enables players to jump from heights without shield damage. Matches on Midship are heart-pounding, fast-paced matches that rarely reach their time limit.Halo Infiniteshould only make minor changes to this map’s layout.
2Battle Creek
Battle Creek is an iconicHalomap that stood out the most when it appeared inHalo: Combat Evolved. The map was remade twice, but the original had arguably the best flow because of theHalo: Combat Evolvedpistol. The pistol was optimized to work well on maps like Battle Creek. The Active Camouflage and Rocket Launcher are ideally situated where an optimal level of risk is involved with grabbing them.

CouldHalo Infinitebeat the original Battle Creek? Even if they merely add the original with updated graphics, it’s a win for theHalocommunity.
1Blood Gulch
This fan-favorite is considered the most exceptional out of over one-hundredHalomaps across the series. We can’t forget Blood Gulch or the remakes “Coagulation and “Hemorrhage” for their versatility. In Team Slayer, bases become the place for an exchange of fire between teams. Team Slayer, Slayer, Capture the Flag, Juggernaut, and Crazy King play phenomenally on this map.
In a nutshell, they don’t make maps like this anymore.Halo Infinitewould not be the same without Blood Gulch.
