Halo Infinite is out now in the market, and fans are enjoying playing it. Apart from global fans, this game has also attracted some prominent faces in the Esports industry. Moreover, this game is having a few issues after the release as no game is perfect at its launch. Later on, the devs did release some patches and updates to improve the overall experience. But, originally, the open world of Halo Infinite was supposed to be as huge as the map size of The Legend of Zelda franchise.

Furthermore, the devs had big plans for the map size of the Halo Infinite. It was supposed to be huge, just like the enormous map of The Legend of Zelda. But unfortunately, the devs couldn’t achieve this goal. And later on, they had to significantly reduce the total map size.

Currently, the map that fans are experiencing is far smaller than what it was originally supposed to be. It’s surprising for players and it’s very unfortunate that the devs couldn’t work on it.
