Editing Forge/Halo Infinite

{{Status|Gameplay}}
'''Forge''' returns as a [[multiplayer]] gamemode in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. The mode was not present at the launch of ''Infinite'', instead being released in the [[Winter Update]].{{Ref/YouTube|Id=August|Yct2QKgF5e4|Halo|Halo Infinite - Development Update - August|Time=1009|Detail=16:49}} At launch, it brought a suite of canvases with different biomes including a desert theme of [[Arid]], a marsh-like theme of [[Mires]], an ocean floor theme similar to the [[Depths]] canvas from ''Halo 5'' in [[Seafloor]], a plains theme outside the [[Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science]] at [[Institute]], an outer space theme of [[Ecliptic]], and a gas giant theme of [[Void]].{{Ref/YouTube|Id=MapWUPreview| BC0wfvHyqo8|Halo|Maps & Modes Winter Update Preview Halo Infinite|Y=2022|M=10|D=26}} With Season 05, 2 new canvases are added: the war-torn theme of [[Barrage]] and the mountain theme of [[Permafrost]].

Speaking at ''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery|Outpost Discovery]]''{{'}}s Anaheim event, Forge Lead Michael Schorr confirmed that he had personally read every feature request list made by communities such as ForgeHub, and wishes Forge in ''Infinite'' to be more along the lines of professional development software. Additionally, accessibility and ease-of-use is something prioritised by [[343 Industries]] for this Forge mode.{{Ref/Reuse|FHOD}}
