The Halo Infinite demo is being recreated in Halo 5 using the game’s Forge tools.
As spotted by GamesSpot (opens in new tab), streamer Ducain23 has been working on remaking the Halo Infinite (opens in new tab) campaign demo which debuted in the Xbox Game showcase. Streaming the remake of the demo live on Twitch (opens in new tab), you can watch Ducain23 use the Forge tools in Halo 5 to put it together on a map. Using footage of the 8-minute Halo Infinite demo for reference to mirror all of the details of the terrain, it’s already looking pretty close to the real thing.
