Halo Infinite (arcade game)
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Halo Infinite is an arcade cabinet that can be found throughout its namesake game as an Easter egg.
Overview[edit]
Costing ten credits to play, Halo Infinite's control panel features a joystick and eight buttons that correlate with specific actions. The game's title screen features three figures taking in a circular structure with a mountain in the background, akin to the Totem Rings and mountainous terrain of Zeta Halo. The sides of the arcade cabinet are plastered with decals of John-117, Linda-058, and an M808 Scorpion. The top of the arcade cabinet is branded with "Game Zone", as in Arcade Game Zone, a small arcade located in New Mombasa, Earth. In the back of the arcade cabinet, there is a piece of graffiti that says, "THIS IS MADNESS".[1]
The arcade cabinet can be found in the multiplayer map Streets within the Arcade Game Zone, as well as in a secluded Forerunner chamber south of Outpost Tremonius in the campaign's open world. It is also a prop that can be placed in Forge.
There is variation among the Halo Infinite arcade cabinets. For example, the Streets cabinets are the only ones that have the decals of John-117, Linda-058, and the Scorpion. The arcade machine in Outpost Tremonius and Forge lack the decals, and are instead a plain, metallic grey colour.[2][3] Meanwhile, the Outpost Tremonius cabinet is unique in that its title screen lacks the three figures and the Totem Ring. Instead, the mountain is less obtrusive to make room for the Halo ring that rises from the horizon. The screen is also grimier than the Streets and Forge cabinets, with dead pixels taking up the bottom of the screen.[2]
When standing next to the cabinet, 8-bit renditions of tracks from the Halo Infinite Original Soundtrack can be heard. At the Streets cabinet, three tracks play: Road Tested, a cover of The Road, the string melody of the game's Halo Theme; Zeta Fragment, a cover of Zeta Halo, the game's Gregorian chant; and Demon Space, a cover of Know My Legend. These tracks are interspersed with other chiptune songs and sound effects from the other machines at Arcade Game Zone.[1] At the Outpost Tremonius cabinet, as well as cabinets placed in Forge, six tracks play: alongside the previous three, there is also Digital Daskalo, a cover of Escharum; Polygon Trees, a cover of Through the Trees; and Endless Space, a cover of Endless.[2][3]
