'''Oasis''' is a [[multiplayer]] [[Big Team Battle]] map that was included in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''{{'}}s [[Season 03: Echoes Within]].{{Ref/YouTube|Id=YTSept22Update|Ramqlt7vxJ8|HALO|Halo Infinite <nowiki>|</nowiki> Update - September 2022|D=21|M=11|Y=2022}}{{Ref/YouTube|Id=S3LaunchTrailer|a3K-SCCkWBQ|HALO|Season 3: Echoes Within Launch Trailer <nowiki>|</nowiki> Halo Infinite|D=24|M=02|Y=2023}}{{Ref/Site|Id=S3MapModePreview|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/echoes-within-maps-modes-preview|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Season 3: Maps & Modes Preview|D=01|M=03|Y=2023}}

Oasis is set in and around an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] research facility atop a cliffside on a far-flung [[Natural satellite|moon]].{{Ref/Reuse|YTSept22Update}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFEchoes|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-echoes-with-dinh|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Echoes With-Dinh|D=24|M=03|Y=2023}} In early [[2553]], [[ONI Section Three]] initiated [[Operation: INTERIOR EXILE]], a recon mission with the goal of establishing this research site that would serve to examine a dormant [[Forerunner]] [[Forerunner starship|starship]] embedded in the moon's rocky terrain. However, this initial effort ended in failure, with agents [[Hieu Dinh|Dinh]] and [[Padraig]] being among the few survivors.{{Ref/Site|Id=S3Intel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/echoes-within-intel|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite - Echoes Within Intel|D=27|M=03|Y=2023|LocalArchive=Halo Infinite Story & Intel}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFEchoes}}

 

Ultimately, the facility was constructed and to further study [[Lifeworker terraforming vessel|the vessel]], ONI dug into the cliffside, creating a cavern system,{{Ref/Reuse|YTSept22Update}} seemingly discovering an mysterious artifact in a fissure below the base.{{Ref/Map|Id=Oasis|HINF|Oasis (map)|Oasis}} At some point after the [[The Reclamation|start]] of the [[Created uprising]] in [[2558#October|October 2558]], the [[Created]] managed to take control of the dormant vessel. By [[2560]], an unnamed Created-aligned [[artificial intelligence]] has reactivated the vessel's creation engines, beginning the process of [[terraforming]] the desolate world as part of a wish to create life where there was once none and to follow in the footsteps of the Forerunner [[Lifeworker]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|S3MapModePreview}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFEchoes}}{{Ref/Reuse|S3Intel}}

 

 

 

In objective modes, gaining a point will cause the Forerunner vessel's terraforming beam to fire. In non-objective modes, the beam will fire randomly.{{Ref/Reuse|Oasis}}

*This map is one of the largest [[Big Team Battle]] maps in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. It was created with both infantry and vehicle routes in mind, with a particular emphasis on vehicle combat. There are wide open spaces conducive to both air and ground vehicle combat, and there are larger than average number of vehicles available on the map.{{Ref/Reuse|S3MapModePreview}}{{Ref/Reuse|YTSept22Update}} The interior spaces were designed so that Warthogs (and other similarly-sized vehicles) could access them, allowing them some additional cover from air and heavy vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|S3MapModePreview}}
