Since the surprise introduction of Squad Battle to Halo Infinite, it has very quickly become a staple of the Halo Infinite experience. Existing in the space between classic 4v4 Team Slayer games and the 12v12 mayhem of Big Team Battle, Squad Battle is a nostalgia filled, action packed 8v8 mode that is ripe for carnage. The current maps should seem familiar and, thanks to our incredibly talented Forgers, the upcoming batch should also be a walk down memory lane. There’s a good mix from across the titles so let’s take a tour!

Perdition

Author: Cousin Tim, I Crush All, Mr Kwatz

First seen in Halo 4’s Castle Map Pack, Perdition’s more urban setting might mean a few less Scorpions but that is about all that’s missing. There’s still heavy weaponry, a variety of angles to take, and paths to travel.

Modes:

  • Slayer
  • King of the Hill
  • Landgrab

Refuge

Author: Cousin Tim, InfiniteForges, NightAvenger01, Micheal B 2K8

One of the beautiful things about Refuge is how versatile it is. From 12v12 to 4v4, and now 8v8, this map can handle almost anything. It excels in one-sided objectives and definitely keeps you on your toes as you’re watching for action in the buildings, in the air, and all around.

Modes:

  • King of the Hill
  • One Flag CTF

Timberland Evolved

Author: D0ctorSmurf, Virus11010, Micheal B 2K8, Mr IncrediJON, MikRips, Okom1, Darth Draius

This marks the third time Timberland has made an appearance in Halo. From Halo: CE for PC to Halo: Reach (Anniversary map pack!) to Halo Infinite – the grass is as green as it ever was. Dueling snipers, entrenched bases, thrilling flag runs in Warthogs – this map still has it all.

Rendezvous

Author: THE SLAMMERSS, h8yse

It’s not déjà vu but you’ll definitely remember this Rendezvous point when you see it. You'll rally your thoughts and land on the alpha option. Another map primed for some urban warfare, you’ll be ready to orbit the lanes, drop in on some unsuspecting Spartans, shock some opponents with your slick moves, and continue trooping along valiantly.

Modes:

  • CTF
  • Landgrab

Gyre

Author: Igrizhar, Mr Kwatz, Virus11010, MikRips

Reach had some nice beaches and Gyre aims to relive those days before the Covenant caused a tempest in a teapot. This map offers unique ways of getting from one side to the other. Will you tempt your fate in the lifts? Or will you be bold and brazen enough to venture straight up the middle. Alternatively, can I interest you in a sneaky path through the caves?

Modes:

  • Total Control

Harvest

Author: Scrubulba, Tiiiiiiim 7, MikRips, LudoHT, Mr IncrediJON, Handsome Huber, lackhoves

Excelling in CTF, Harvest is a nearly symmetrical map featuring Warthogs, Mongooses, and everyone’s favorite – dueling S7s. As fun as it is to play peek-a-boo with the enemy with the Snipers, what’s even better is loading up a Warthog with your buddies (extra credit for the flag carrier too!) and burning rubber up the ramp to take the sweet jump for all the style points in the game.

Behemoth

Somehow...Behemoth has returned. We all know the map and it’s back for some squadtacular battles!

That’s seven new maps added to an already stacked playlist so we know you're going to continue having an absolute blast. Time and again the Forge community has proven they are a priceless font of skill, talent, and creativeness that we are incredibly lucky to have. Their contributions help make playlists like this possible.

If you’re an aspiring Forger, don’t forget to keep your eye on the 343askstags to see what we’re looking for.

Squad up and hit the ground running in the updated Squad Battle today!

Hey rendezvous on CTF also has you spawn at your opponents base and I can’t tell if it’s intentional or a bug

part and parcel with the above that's being investigated!
