This post is a little premature considering forge isn’t out yet but with forge looking really awesome it has me excited about the possibilities.
Are there any other fans of Unreal Tournament out there that would love to see some Forge remakes of some maps? I always thought Unreal Tournament had some of the coolest maps, particularly the Warfare ones which gave teams advantages for capturing specific nodes.
Looking at the Sandboxes I can see some similarities between certain weapons, equipment, and vehicles as well, I think it would be a fun mashup for fans of both games.

There are a lot of other vehicles in Unreal Tournament but not enough in Halo Infinite. I think everything in Halo Infinite is represented except for the Energy Sword & Gravity Hammer, not sure what the best comparison for them would be but they could be used in place of powerups.
Probably just the nostalgia but I would have a great time playing Halo on some unreal tournament maps. Torlan Delta in particular would be awesome just to play with some vehicular warfare, something Halo Infinite doesn’t deliver.
