It'll be pretty huge in objective modes in general.
I like the big tell they've added to it as well. It's potentially the first decent area denial weapon we've seen in the franchise. There have been quite a few stinkers .

Grenades in general have always been good at this, especially in CE and H2 when you could carry 4 of each. H5 Pulse nade was good at it too, H3 Firebombs, Power Drain, Sticky Detonator, Plasma Caster, etc., bunch of good area denying tools over the years.
What stinkers are you thinking of outside of the H4 Pulse nade? I'm sure there are several lol, but I'm poopin atm and drawing blanks 💩
Not sure if we saw gameplay footage of it, but it was revealed in the "Peek Design" Cannon Fodder blogpost.

i didnt articulate my position really well.
threat detector is more "area deterrent" than "area denial" which I think is a better approach. I like it because it can make an area undesirable - but isn't damaged based so it doesn't ground the fight to a halt nor can it be used for "gotcha" kills
Most of the items you listed are just Weapons that do splash damage. Not really what I consider area denial.
The ones that were designed to deny areas over time, the stinkers are more often used in quick "gotcha" damage in the initial moments of a firefight. Either that or they are just ineffective - energy drain, pulse grenades, splinter grenades, firebombs etc…

There is something hilarious about his that Brute's helmet looks in particular.
Is the Scrap Cannon a known thing?
The armor to me suggests it is suited to Flood containment / seeing myself up for disappointment.
Really hope they have something like hairworks and it's not just a texture but it'll probably just be beards.
Was this the one that had straight up Halo 5 map names in it? I doubt that list is accurate. Same with weapons where they had some halo 5 weapons, two names for the heatwave, etc.
Well it had one Halo Online map name in it too, but we will have to wait and see fully. We should be getting the release date annoucement soon, so hopefully we just start getting a bunch of MP info too
The list with all original names is ~28. I think 7 were BTB.
I think a lot of those are post launch since the multiplayer has had an extra year to work on those.
Literally my faith in Max and the team at CA to do good Halo MP maps is higher than my faith in myself to get chick fil a every Friday morning
.... and I haven't missed a Friday morning chicky bicky in years.
I tried my hand at it
I know the leaker people did it, but I tried to go through the text file and pick out legit map names also. 77 in my total estimation. There are many duplicates, and a few code names, tons of Warzone content, and test enironments. Like Moose said, there is really no way to know. However, I used my best judgement. Here are the 77 seemingly legit map names, sorted into 4 categories. Halo 5, Halo 3, Infinite Arena, Infinite BTB
Guardian and Narrows being in there is a bit odd as it is not in Halo 5, and remakes never take their original name sake.
Drydock was previously the same name as an unreleased map for Halo Online, although it could just be coincidence
There are 🗸 by maps weve seen, there are also 3 additional map thumbnails that have yet to be connected to a named map here https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/p1a8oz/newly_halo_infinite_leaked_multiplayer_maps/
Worth noting that halodotapi said "21" in a tweet awhile ago. I assume they were looking at this same information before it became readily available
again, just running with what is out there, no way to confirm any of this, but interesting to dissect.
Also shout-out to clearly labelled MP only leaks, I was willing to read some pastebins on MP only stuff, I dont really feel spoiled by knowing that CTF will be in the game
edit2: holy fuck formatting is busted AF. Im gunna make it uglier, to make it more consistent
edit3: fuck these bullshit tables bro. it looks like shit, sorry everyone, gotta deal with it
edit4: I hurt myself to make it look good

Ayyy, look who I stumbled across @Fatsronaut (RIP, why can't I tag) -- https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comme...urce=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
You thinking a reimagining of Exile from 4? Or something else?
It's literally impossible to know with map names if there are any remakes. I hope there are a few.
A remake of Exile would be cool. That was a fun map with a great (yet familiar) aesthetic that would be worthy to be redone IMO
I said top third, I'll stand by that. On that list, it would firmly be 13-15 range.
Yeah, remade in Halo 5. Big circle map.
When I did the map brackets a few years back, Halo 4 overall did well against reach and 5. There are a few gems
Map was super overrated and played like shit in 5 the few times I played it. I do remember Exile after looking it up though. It was as fun as something could be in that games BTB.
It played like shit because they 3 power weapons within 5 feet of each other. Haven/Mercy are decent maps.
Alot of those sentiments, same with Haven, personally I don't find the map design wise that interesting. But in the scope of Halo 4, it was good
For gods sake it's competition was this floating turd

Obligatory H4 DLC maps were generally all solid, way better than the launch maps and some actually-great maps like Harvest, Daybreak, Monolith, etc.
Didn't Certain Affinity create all of them? And they're working on Infinite maps 😎 Hope remains.

Halo 4 launch maps had that thing going on where half of them were just one solid color and a ton of haze for… reasons?
