My gosh, Prism is such a gorgeous map. One to be remembered for sure.

Not even ONI can prevent me from munching on the explosive rock candy.

The art direction of this game is almost perfect, I swear these maps look better every season, I hope more ambient life is present on some future ones

Prism is a map concept I always wanted to see as a kid, there was always something so cool about the Needler and its spikes exploding on your enemies. The blamite shards that can be shot at and detonated after a certain amount of damage are a very good way to make the map feel more unique and I’m eager to play there soon!
Forbidden is a blast from the past, that Delta Halo architecture is a thing of beauty (Paul Russel, the Bungie dev who was labeled as the, “father of Forerunner architecture" said they were going for Angkor Wat vibes with the Delta ruins) and I continue to be astounded by the way the 343, Sperasoft and Certain Affinity artists made the Forerunner architecture look the best it’s ever looked in any Halo instalment (and I say this as a lifelong fan), I hope that the studio can someday make like an artists’ Q&A or an art panel with the concept artists, they deserve the spotlight and we the fans would love to hear their insight.

P.s.: Dry vs damp, rocky ruins, mysterious…
Yeah, Forbidden is Infinite’s Sanctuary in terms aesthetic.

As a 3D artist, I am blown away by how much detail is in each new Infinite map, and just how perfectly those details are implemented! Hope I can come close to that eventually 🔥

The ambience is so crispy, the Sfx team really did a good job

Forbidden gives me major halo 2 forerunner vibes. Both maps are super gorgeous

[acedfun]

H2:A is one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time, glad to see that art style return

[nomadstudios]

Love the new maps! They're so vibrant and full of personality!

[anthonybonstead]

Never knew I wanted a needler ammo cave map until now, looks awesome!

[AscensionINC-zijz]

Prism looks awesome. Forbidden reminds me of Delta Halo.

[abelramirez]

The art team at 343i are reaching insane milestones with these maps.

[gesprite]

Needler candy rocks need to be a thing after this

[WIP]

These maps are something to behold, by the rings they leave me dumbstruck.

[Slatzfolk]

My eyes were given a real treat with Prism, amazing work!

[davisa]

Thank you 343 for not giving up! This season and maps look fantastic

[RedNomster]

I saw the ancient text just after 0:55 Halo you can't fool me with your speed ramp transition 😉

[assassinscreedislife]

Those are some REALLY BEAUTIFUL maps. Everything you guys have added lately has been absolutely BALLER! I just to look around when I’m in a game, but then I’m getting sniped or otherwise killed

[charliemalhe]

Forbidden gives Delta Halo vibes. I love it

[MangoDragon]

I dare say the shootable needle crystals in the prism map are a neat touch, and the map looks really cool, i know the map designers had a field day with this one 😊
