Chargearound: Haven
Now is not the time to debate the legacy of Halo 4. It’s strange Call of Duty-isms didn’t work right, but with a few tweaks made in a custom game or Legendary Slayer, Halo 4 felt more like a faster version of what came before than it does a total departure. And the much-maligned sequel had some genuinely cool environments—especially in the multiplayer maps. Haven was one such map and it’s great to have a faithful recreation of it, courtesy of DarkMaiming.
Infinite’s equipment works well here, and there’s a good kill ceiling to prevent too many shenanigans with the grappleshot.
As Infinite’s Forge mode continues to mature, we’ll undoubtedly see more classic remakes. But for now, these are the best ways to get some much-needed classic Halo vibes in Infinite. To be honest, it’s surprising how many of these work with the new movement mechanics. It really proves that at its core, us Halo fans do have a great modern game, even if it’s taking a bit to get its act together.
