When it was introduced to matchmaking in Halo 5, Castle Wars quickly became a fan favorite. The large-scale assault on the enemy’s base to grab the flag led to high-risk, high reward plays that kept us all coming back for more.
And that’s why we’re excited to see Castle Wars added to Halo Infinite!
THE BASE-ICS
It’s an amped up version of 8v8 Capture the Flag that necessitates your team breaking through the defenses of the opponent’s heavily fortified castles.
Grab their flag and make your way back to your base to score while dodging the oncoming horde of enemy Spartans.
Everyone is equipped with an Energy Sword and a Grappleshot. As a bonus, you can use your Grapple while holding the Flag, so beware the sneaky fly-bys.
MY KINGDOM FOR A CASTLE
You can’t have Castle Wars without the castles, so let’s check out the fortresses you’ll be assaulting! Also, huge thank you to erickyboo for creating the mode and one or two of the maps.

The map Gothic, resembling two castles with a narrow bridge between the two.
Pointed arches? Check. Verticality? Check. Flying buttresses? Check. Definitely Gothic in nature.

As long as it doesn't take you five long years to steal the enemy flag...

Just you, your weapon, and fifteen others out for a leisurely jaunt on the gondolas.

Whatever you do, remember that Spartans can't swim, so don't jump off the edge.

Some bridges are meant to be burnt.
That’s that! So remember, charge ahead, battle through the defenders, make your way through the castle, grab the Flag, and get back to your base to score.
Bye bye, Spartans, have fun storming the castles!
