This mode allows players to add new structures, objects, weapons, and vehicles to a map, paving the way for some particularly creative players to make some of the most iconic custom games ever made. Through Forge mode, classic custom games like Duck Hunt, Sky Battles, and Jenga were all created, elevating the Halo multiplayer experience even further. Right now, Halo Infinite's Forge mode is still in development, and some fans believe it should draw more from Halo Reach's Forge offerings than Halo 5's.
