Halo InfiniteForge mode users were already creating somewild mapson launch day, so it shouldn’t be surprising to see someThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimlocales appear in-game too. If you’re unfamiliar, Forge is a long-time Halo mode that allows players to create their own custom maps and modes. In the past, players used Forge to remake classic maps or remix existing ones.

The same forger also created Skyrim’s opening townRiverwoodwith scary accuracy. Some of the interiors aren’t too convincing, especially when you spot UNSC barrels, but the rest of the package is spot on. Surprisingly, Riverwood seems like it would be a fun PvP map, as well as a Skyrim throwback. There’s plenty of cover with the homely buildings, and the actual river would probably act as a no man’s land-type partition. Infinite only needs another few dozen Skyrim maps before Bethesda can port their RPG to yet another platform.
