Forest is an asymmetrical multiplayer arena map that was released with Halo Infinite's Season 04: Infection.[2][3][5]
Universe and lore[edit]
Forest is set on a cliffside forest on Heian, in and around the ruins of stone structures bearing clear elements of Forerunner architecture.[1] However, the location has ties to ancient human civilization as well.[4]
Overview[edit]
Layout[edit]
- This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.
Callouts[edit]
The following are locations on the map that are so named on the player's heads-up display during gameplay:
- Altar
- Big River
- Bridge Falls
- Cavern
- Cliffside
- Jungle
- Grotto
- High Path
- High Temple
- Hollow Tree
- Low Temple

Trivia[edit]
- Forest was first shown on June 3, 2023 at the 2023 HCS Dallas Global Invitational tournament, where it (and Halo Infinite's new Infection mode) could be played by visitors at the Complexity Gaming booth.[3][5]
Easter eggs[edit]
- Several cave paintings and etchings can be found on the map.
- A cave painting can be found depicting a stick figure of John-117 defending a herd of sheep from two wolves. The same cave painting can be found on Cliffhanger.
- An etching of depicting a stick figure of John-117 chasing rabbits away from some carrots.
- Several cave paintings and etchings featuring pigeons, a reoccurring easter egg on several maps.
- A certain a cave painting can be found depicting nine total pigeons. Two of the pigeons, first seen on the map Cliffhanger, are rendered in the style of the Nazca Lines; the left pigeon features the symbol representing the mysterious organization SEELE from the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise, and the right pigeon wears a hard hat and a safety vest, referencing the pigeon-themed art on the map Streets. Two other pigeons in the group also wear a hard hat and safety vest. Another of the pigeons wears John-117's helmet, is holding an assault rifle, and is saying "hope," in reference to one of the overarching themes of Halo Infinite's campaign and marketing.
