'''Forbidden''' is a symmetrical [[multiplayer]] arena map in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' released with [[Season 05: Reckoning]].{{Ref/Reuse|WaypointS5Maps}}{{Ref/Reuse|S5Trailer}}

==Universe and lore==
Forbidden is set within a [[Lifeworker]] station on [[Installation 07]] featuring aqueducts that wind through the structure, supplying the lush vegetation on one side of the structure with ample water, while the vegetation on the other side of the temple remains dried-up.{{Ref/Reuse|CFBloodMoon}}{{Ref/Reuse|WaypointS5Maps}} This Lifeworker station is one of many locations on Installation 07 that was held over from its time as [[Halo Array#Senescent Array|Gyre 11]], holding secrets that were hidden both by and from the [[Forerunner]]s, as well as the other inhabitants of these spaces. Since the initiation of the [[Zeta Halo project]] in [[2555]], several groups of [[human]] researchers and rescue teams have been reported missing after entering structures such as these, which are theorized to incorporate advanced [[dazzler]] and [[baffler]] technologies. None of these missing groups have been recorded as found.{{Ref/Reuse|CFBloodMoon}}

==Overview==
===Layout===
Forbidden is a symmetrical map set up for close and medium-range gunfights.{{Ref/Reuse|IGNS5}} To assist players in identifying which side of the map is which, one side features lush green vegetation while the other side's vegetation is dried and dead.{{Ref/Reuse|WaypointS5Maps}} Each side of the map features chutes that players can slide through to reach the lower level.{{Ref/Site|Id=KotakuMaps|URL=https://kotaku.com/halo-infinite-season-5-maps-bandit-evo-forge-ai-1850908494|Site=Kotaku|Page=Halo Infinite: Here’s Your First Look At Season 5’s Awesome New Maps|D=09|M=10|Y=2023}} Forbidden features long sightlines that players can take advantage of using the [[SRS99-S7 AM sniper rifle]]s that spawn on each side of the map. The center of the map includes a [[Power-up|power equipment]] spawn.{{Ref/Reuse|WaypointS5Maps}}

==Production notes==
*As the design team started to work on Forbidden, they established the aesthetic before even beginning the blockout of the map. With this particular map, they wanted to evoke the architecture of the stone ruins of [[Installation 05]].{{Ref/Reuse|WaypointS5Maps}}
*The map was designed primarily for [[Capture the Flag]], though it works with other modes as well. The design team included "rat holes" on either side of the map to allow players some unique movement paths.{{Ref/Reuse|KotakuMaps}}

==Trivia==
The [[Sandwich Idol]] easter egg can be found on this map.
