Halo Infinite's Forge Maps Will Be Double The Size Of Halo 5's
Halo Infinite's Forge mode will launch with six canvas maps, and they'll be almost double the size of the canvas maps found in Halo 5.

All collaborators who made contributions to the map will be listed in the map's credits once it's published. Those who don't want their maps to be copied by other players can enable copy protection. Even if copy protection is disabled and used by another creator as a starting point, the original creators will still be listed in the new version's credits. Each map will come with a version history, so players can easily revert to
