{{Article quote|An incredible feat of engineering.}}

'''Argyle''' is a [[multiplayer]] arena map for ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' that was included in the [[Winter Update]].{{Ref/Site|Id=infinitesept2022|D=6|M=9|Y=2022|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-infinite-update-september-2022|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite Update - September 2022}} The map was built entirely in [[Forge]] and was designed primarily as a 4v4 arena map intended to support stealthy playstyles.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=YTSept22Update|Ramqlt7vxJ8|HALO|Halo Infinite <nowiki>|</nowiki> Update - September 2022|D=06|M=09|Y=2022}}

==Universe and lore==
Argyle is set within the simulated interior of the {{UNSCShip|Argyle Gift}}, a future [[UNSC]] [[Human starship|starship]]. This simulatd environment is a result in the increased use of [[War Games|military simulation software]] by defense contractors in the aerospace industry. The technology's robust scenario-geometry engines allow contractors to rapidly prototype full-scale ship designs and refit upgrades.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFourward}}

==Layout==
Argyle is a symmetrical map characterised by its long, wide-open hallway that connects the two bases, giving both sides a clear sightline between each other. Behind each base is a ramp leading to a more enclosed lower level, and a [[Gravity Lift]] leading to a small high-up battlement that is home to a [[Grappleshot]]. To the left of each base is an elevated walkway over a bottomless pit, with a [[SRS99-S7 AM sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle]] in the corner.

The central area of the map is wide open and set at a lower elevation than the rest of the map. Its key feature is a floating platform in the middle, featuring an [[Active Camouflage]] pickup on the platform and a [[Repulsor]] below it. Flanking each side of the map are hallways which generally feature open views towards the center of the map but plenty of cover when traversing the halls themselves. A small vent passageway provides access to the aforementioned Active Camo platform.

==Production notes==
*Alongside [[Detachment]], Argyle is one of two [[Forge]]-made multiplayer maps that came to matchmaking with ''[[Halo Infinite]]''{{'}}s [[Winter Update]], being created and tested internally at [[343 Industries]].{{Ref/Reuse|YTSept22Update}}
*This map is built on the [[Void]] Forge canvass.
*Argyle was designed by Randy Croson, with the art pass done by Evan Colson.{{Ref/Reuse|UpdateOverview}}
*Pre-release footage and screenshots show that an [[Energy Sword]] was originally intended to be placed on the floating platform in the center of the map, replaced in final by an [[Active Camouflage]].
