Summary
A talented gamer has used the Forge Mode inHalo Infiniteto recreate the opening cutscene from the first game in the series,Combat Evolved. For many long-time fans of the franchise, thisHalo Infinitecreation is sure to cause a ton of nostalgic memories.
The improvements made to Forge Mode inHalo Infinitemake it by far the most powerful version of the tool to date. Players are able to script their own events now, and they also have the ability to add AI to levels. It’s a far cry from the basic map creator players received inHalo 3back in 2007. One player evenrecreated an entireHalo: Combat Evolvedcampaign level inInfinite’s Forge, showcasing the power of what these tools are now capable of in the hands of the right player.
Redditor xXBarthXx shared the impressive recreation ofHalo: Combat Evolved’s opening cutscene with theHalocommunity on Reddit, which shared its appreciation for the video. The footage shows off a huge Pillar of Autumn creation, before heading to the interior to show the cutscene, close to how it was in 2001. A generic marine model is used in place of Captain Keyes, and hilariously, a small pink doll is used to represent Cortana. While theForge mode inHalo Infiniteis impressive, it does have some limitations, but it’s still impressive to see that the cutscene can be made in a way that remains recognizable to those who played the original game.

According to the comments in the thread, the plan for this goes much further than the initial cutscene. In response to one question, xXBarthXx confirmed that the plan is to eventually recreate all ofHalo: Combat Evolved’s campaign withinHalo Infinite’s Forge. While it’s certainly ambitious, it’s not impossible given the tools at their disposal. Bringing one of thebestHalogamesto life all over again is a project not to be missed when it’s eventually released.
As a franchise,Halois in an interesting place at the moment. It has been a long time since its heyday, but it remains a gaming staple thanks to a dedicated fan base that has stuck around for decades at this point.Halo Infinitecontinues to receive frequent updates from 343 Industries, although the studio has recentlystopped active development onHalo: The Master Chief Collection. It isn’t clear how much longer the developer is planning to supportHalo Infinite, although it would be surprising to hear about the next iteration of the franchise any time soon.
