'''Infinity''' is a [[multiplayer]] | '''Infinity''' is a [[multiplayer]] level originally exclusive to ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|''Halo: Combat Evolved'' for PC]]'' and ''Halo Mac''. It is included in [[Halo: The Master Chief Collection|''The Master Chief Collection'']]. It is the longest multiplayer map. It is a long canyon in the shape of a ∞, the symbol for infinity, hence the name ''infinity''. It is one of the best maps for the [[race]] [[Gametypes|gametype]]. | ||

Infinity consists of two large [[bases]] containing a large signal [[ | Infinity consists of two large [[bases]] containing a large signal [[beam emitter]] similar to the ones seen in the single player level [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]]. Going into the beam [[The Guardians|will kill you]], but only if the beam hits you while you fly over it in a [[Type-26A Banshee|Banshee]] or if you crouch while standing over the emitter. Simply standing in it will not kill you. One emits a red beam, the other blue. There are two Banshees at the top of each base, as well as [[Type-29 Shade|Shades]] a bit further down. A smaller, secondary building lies below, containing a health pack, a shotgun, and an assault rifle. On top of it is a [[Unidentified fuel rod gun|fuel rod gun]], unless the gametype is [[Capture the Flag|CTF]], in which case the fuel rod gun is located in the middle of the cross section plateaus near the bridges. In that case, the flag is on top. | ||
In the center of the map, there are four long suspended bridges, similar to the ones seen in the beginning of the [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]] campaign map. The top two bridges hold a [[M41 SPNKR|Rocket Launcher]] each. At the ends of either of the lower bridges are [[teleporter]]s and in the middle are [[health pack]]s. There are also ladders leading to the top bridges. There are small ridges in between each upper bridge that each contain a Shade. There is also a small maze-like structure on one of the routes to blue base. Commonly called "the pipes" by players, a [[M7057 flamethrower|flamethrower]], a health pack, a [[M90 shotgun|shotgun]], and sometimes a [[ | In the center of the map, there are four long suspended bridges, similar to the ones seen in the beginning of the [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]] campaign map.

Next to the pipes is a ledge with a [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] and health pack. A smaller ledge with a Shade is on the other side. The other route to blue base contains a large hill. It is difficult to get on top, but is possible, usually using a Ghost. This hill lies in the middle of the path. Right in front of it is a shotgun. On one side there is a deep depression. Next to that is a ledge with a Shade, a flamethrower, a sniper rifle, and a health pack. On the other side of the big rock is a ledge with a pair of [[M9 fragmentation grenade|frag grenades]]. Between this area and blue base is a narrow path. | Next to the pipes is a ledge with a [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] and health pack. A smaller ledge with a Shade is on the other side.

*If you stand in the bases and look up when they fire their beacons, it looks like the beacon goes to the center of the ring. You also can't see the beacon from the other base. However, if you go to a certain spot near the intersection of the canyon, you can see both beacons. | *If you stand in the bases and look up when they fire their beacons, it looks like the beacon goes to the center of the ring.
