'Halo 3 Refueled' is a new Halo Infinite multiplayer mode arriving later on during Season 5, and ahead of its addition next month, the team at 343 Industries has showcased a bunch of new images featuring its selection of remade maps.
We have classics like Guardian, High Ground, Narrows and The Pit here - and in total there are eight old-school Halo 3 arenas returning for this playlist. Here's a look at those maps, courtesy of developer 343 Industries:
We're quite excited about this one to be honest. Halo 3 was such a vibe back in the day, but we must admit, we have gotten used to the feeling of Halo Infinite and its combat these days. All of those classic maps planted into one Infinite playlist though? We're so on board for this when it arrives on November 14th!
That's not all for the remainder of Halo Infinite Season 5 either. The much-loved Firefight is returning as a new 'King of the Hill' variant sometime during the fifth season - we'll bring news on the co-op mode's arrival when we hear more.
Are you playing this mode when it arrives next month? Tell us your future Halo plans down below.

Halo Infinite Season 5 is amazing so far, and I can’t wait for these Halo 3 maps to come out and the release of Firefight.
The Husky Raid gamemode is also amazing and these maps made by the community are awesome. I strongly recommend to give Infinite another go.
This is amazing! Probably time-limited though…
I’m honestly slightly confused about one thing: why did they spend time and resources on Empyrean back during the 'Winter Update' if they were just going to bring The Pit back, as they have now?
Also, are these maps remade in Slipspace, or are they using the Forge tools? For a moment there it felt like even the developers of the game itself were using the Forge tools for map creation. I guess that's a compliment to how advanced the toolkit really is? But it still feels strange to see a major company use the publicly available toolkit rather than anything in-house.
I'm really glad Infinite is having a resurgence and if they continue with this quality content update Infinite is going to be a long lasting game with a good community. Kudos 343i.
I'll be excited once they show stuff for 8v8 and 12v12 game modes.
Not really interested in 4v4.
@AccessibleDaydream I guess they’re all forge maps. This is all opinion but Empyrean probably came from a different time at the studio where they wanted a classic map remade. Mountain Dew probably threw money at 343 or some forgers and said “if we’re doing a throwback playlist we gotta have classic pit”.
That said, I find it confusing they have banished narrows. I find the banished aesthetic too much for a whole map. It’s fine I’m parts. They should have went all the way and made classic narrows.
@ParsnipHero
I’m not deep enough into the Halo lore to know the difference between the two maps. Are they not the same? What is different about the Banished one?
@BrilliantBill
Do they compensate creators for their time and effort in those cases? Wouldn’t that be an example of companies shifting the labor burden from employees to creators or consumers, kind of like self-checkout versus regular checkout? Do people just do this kind of work out of passion for the series and the good will of the community?
@AccessibleDaydream nor am I. I just prefer the look of the forerunner version to the banished one. The banished one has a lot of harsh red and black tones.
After the very good Halo Infinite campaign with grappling hook I’m really missing it.
We need more campaign please.
@OldGamer999 the grapple hook in Infinite is so good. Better than poor Pathfinder in Apex Legends.
@ParsnipHero
I know and a shame it may all be gone from a single player campaign sort of few.
So much campaign expansion potential on Halo Zeta, such a waste really.
@OldGamer999 nothing is quite as good as dev made stuff but some of the stuff forgers are making looks fairly promising.
What they need is the ability to add things as a "campaign" game type instead of a multiplayer game type them have the ability to trigger various voice actor lines then we might have custom campaign missions.
From what I've seen firefight looks great though. Can't wait to give that a go when it launches this season.
