Halo Infinite maps Tier List: All maps, ranked

Blood Gulch. Lockout. Guardian. All standout maps that you might remember from the Halo series in years gone by. The franchise has a deep history of producing iconic multiplayer battlegrounds, and Halo Infinite is no different.

37 multiplayer maps populate Halo Infinite‘s multiplayer offerings, and our Tier List aims to rank them one by one. Arena maps, Big Team Battle maps, and Forge canvases each have their own Tier List, as they’re too different to compare against one another.

Halo Infinite Arena Maps Tier List

Arena maps are Halo Infinite‘s bread and butter. 4v4 gameplay across modes like Slayer, King of the Hill, and Capture the Flag. This is Halo‘s DNA, the reason players return over two decades since the franchise made its debut. Luckily, Infinite has some great arena maps that are an absolute blast to play.

Our ranking of Halo Infinite‘s arena maps is largely based on how fun they are. Ultimately, that’s why you play the game, right? We’ve also slightly considered aesthetics, too. When you think back to legendary Halo maps from previous titles, each one has a strong visual style that’s easy to remember. It’s a small consideration, but an important one.

Halo Infinite Big Team Battle Maps Tier List

Halo Infinite features six maps made exclusively for the Big Team Battle game mode. These maps are made for 12v12 action, featuring vehicle-heavy gameplay. Jump in a Warthog with some friends and cause mayhem – that’s what Halo is all about, and that’s what Big Team Battle provides.

When ranking Halo Infinite‘s Big Team Battle maps, we’re not just considering how fun it is to play. We’re also considering how well they fit the game mode. After all, what good is Big Team Battle if you can’t cause a bit of vehicular chaos?

Halo Infinite Forge Canvas Maps Tier List

Halo Infinite‘s Forge mode is the most powerful version of the iconic map creator to date. It’s hard to believe how far it has come since the Halo 3 days. From requiring the use of glitches to make items float back in the day, to in-depth scripting in the most recent iteration of the game mode.

Eight Halo Infinite maps exist entirely as Forge mode canvases. While not fun by themselves, they serve as a way to create completely new maps, with each having its own unique theme. Since we can’t rank by fun factor, we’re going purely by aesthetics and versatility here.
