We're now less than a month away from Halo Infinite's long LONG awaited grand reveal - campaign, story, multiplayer and, hopefully, even more! So, in the spirit of that, I thought today we'd take a look at 7 characters that should return in Halo Infinite's campaign - 7 characters spanning from the era of the Forerunners and the Flood, to the original Halo trilogy and even post-Halo 3!

All jokes aside though I definitely would want noble 6 at least mentioned in some way in infinite considering his skill were comparable to the chief when he was alive

[@bamicinder7635]

Actually, no, if going in detail, not at all. John spent a lot of his time going balls deep, or leading a squad, being a leader (as in he literally decided to be last in the pelican part of the training, knowing the consequence). However, Noble 6 was a great assassin/marksman, and also a pilot. Breaking this down, because I don't want to type an essay on them yet, basically, Chief *mostly* was experienced in fighting enemies that were of massive concern and lethality, and threat -- the Covenant. Noble Six's history tends to reflect on him being primarily against insurgents, which, if taking into account insurgent technology, is light work compared to fighting the Covenant. I'd argue one relied on manipulating senses (Noble Six) vs Running in gunning, etc... I could be wrong, please correct me where I am wrong if I am.

[@desiderata974]

[@kylepenna5602]

Let’s admit that cheif and mobile 6 are both crazy sychos when it comes to killing the enemy I mean mobile 6 took out a whole elite ship bye himself and was possibly a head hunter and cheif blew up a covemet ship by himself as well kinda

[@pimpincrucible2658]

@@bamicinder7635 well it could've been both for Six, considering he was put on the team in Operation Torpedo, yet pulled out last minute by an ONI directive, he also lived fighting an entire covenant fleet by himself on reach for 4 hours, no backup, just leftover weapons and his courage. Which is such a badass way to go out fighting the entire covenant alone on Reach till you finally get taken out while fighting 2 zealots, a field general, and a Marshal all by yourself simultaneously

Yeah, rumors and hints about the Spartan II's backstory leaking past the ONI censors would be amazing. Heck, one of blue team using the "Olly, Olly, Oxenfree" whistle/signal in a poignant moment would be amazing. One of blue team having a heart-to-heart with Halsey after all these years would also be fantastic, even if it isn't chief. If I remember correctly, Halsey is one of the few people that SII's ever open up to emotionally. Demonstrating that fact, perhaps using some of the lines that Cortana quoted in the opening of Halo 3 to do it, would be absolutely phenomenal.

Agree Halo 2 and 3 Elite styles was in my opinion the best out of all the other Halo games and they should stick to those.

[@johndemery9627]

While the overall shape of Arbiter’s armor in H5 was bad and shouldn’t come back, I really liked the patterns and designs that were embedded on the surface of the armor. It would be awesome if Infinite gave him his H2 & 3 armor with the patterns from the H5 armor.

[@necroreo9276]

I see a lot of hit and miss with the reclaimer saga elite armour. Some elite armour and features are total shit compared to earlier designs, whereas other armour and features can even go above and beyond earlier designs. I feel that the main thing that really claws at the newer designs is that they are too smooth. None of them are too flashy, but then when they do become flashy it is in this odd, round, smooth look that doesnt work. However, take an armour like the H4 zealot, or even the lower/mouth part of H5 Arby's helmet. These armours and features work surprisingly well, and in my opinion are even better than those seen in previous games. What I hope for is for the best of both worlds. Some part of H5 Arby should stay. The arms, the mouthpiece, the overall torso. Other parts of H5 Arby need to go. The top of the helmet, the weird lump on the back, the off-brass colour

[@thunderspear2251]

Alright, my thoughts blow for blow. Be warned, spoilers for the list below: For Noble Six, I feel he should still be in there as a tribute line. Have Linda notice it and say, "Hey Chief, remember this guy?", and have Chief have this kinda bittersweet, "He's the one who got us (Pillar of Autumn/Chief/Cortana) off Reach," or something to that end. Just a cool little line to show that Six didn't just die forgotten to all but a handful of people who knew about the plan. For Lasky, I loved Lasky in 4, and I hope he comes back. That talk he has with Chief hit me square in the feels when I first heard it, and I love the idea of a younger soldier imparting some wisdom into a grizzled child soldier who's been fighting twice as long as Lasky's been alive. Not to mention that Lasky is a capable soldier, who could even provide us some field support. You can watch in the video as he just runs up to a knight and hits it with a leaping horizontal buttstroke. Lasky would be a solid addition to our line-up. Blue Team, oh Blue Team, what did they do to you? I agree beat for beat on your suggestion to use them sparingly. But yeah, they were most definitely Chief's family, and they've been on countless missions together. I hope we get some callbacks to their past where Chief gets injured/trapped and tells them to leave him behind, but they free him and just tell him "We're not losing you like we lost Sam,". Halo 5 did to Blue Team what Berserk (2016-2017) did to Berserk. It was an atrocious representation. I distinctly remember in Halo: Legends when Fred faces down a squad of elites with nothing but two knives and just stares them down saying, "Alright. The Great Journey ENDS HERE,". Not to mention Kelly just flat out blitzing past Chief in the latter part of their sprint, and Chief's documented at hitting 60mph. Then there's Linda in one of the books LITERALLY sniping banshee pilots directly. Linda has the skill to put a sniper shot in the minute gaps of a Banshee while it's flying. One of her AI interfaces is just a 26th century aimbot - change my mind. Silent Shadow, a group I'm curious to see how they're implemented, given they're specialized in stealth. That would be really cool if Chief all of a sudden gets a bad feeling as he's on a mission, and then gets ambushed in a small chokepoint with a lot of close-knit cover/concealment to have them dash in and out of. I loved them in the Headhunter short, and I think it would be cool to have a cinematic style boss fight, alternating between them using hit and run tactics and mocking Chief, before a rainstorm comes through and has them silhouetted by the raindrops. Something like that would be amazing. Chief fighting the Sangheili version of ninjas, only able to see them through rain-outlined silhouettes. Rtas Vadum, the one who considers 3 to 1 an even fight. I thought he was an okay character, but I don't know much about him. So, this is likely going to be my shortest one. Don't know much about him, but it would be cool to see a familiar elite face. The Primordial, my god, I was not expecting this one. I do hope to see some sort of callback to some older lines from Halo 2-3, or maybe even a reference to Halo 1. How creepy would it be to walk through a flood hallway and hear the walls whispering "Keyes, Jacob, Captain, Service Number..." and "This is not your grave, but you are welcome in it," I would love to see the flood play a bit of mind games with all the knowledge it has collected, along with its memory of Chief. Maybe even have the Flood try to capture Cortana again, now that she has an entire network of AI to infect. The Primordial could make Cortana the Mendicant Bias 2.0, which is quite a terrifying thought, given her command of the Guardians, and our own lack of any equivalent force. Next up, Old Mendy himself. Mendicant Bias would actually be a bit of a tonal fit for Infinite, just because of the current AI threat. I would love to see Mendicant serve as the Crucible for Cortana's redemption. I want Mendicant to appear part-way through the game and just start tearing sh** up, especially towards Cortana. Have Cortana see what a Domain AI with the Logic Plague is like, or maybe even show that that's what happened to Cortana. She may have dodged Rampancy, but she sidestepped right into the Logic Plague, given that (from what I gathered from the Halo 3 terminals) Mendicant Bias is still within the Domain, and could have somehow transmitted it to Cortana. Somehow. Not sure how LP works, but it's a thought that came to mind. Edit: Now that my memory's been jogged that Mendicant is trying to help us, it would be very interesting to see Mendicant and Cortana go head-to-head, old god vs new prophet. I personally would love to see Mendicant as a supporting ally, more than a background puppetmaster. And last but certainly not least, Arby. Oh, you beautiful Sangheili bastard, you. I agree with you here, that not showing their reunion is Heresy worthy of being hung by your entrails and having your corpse paraded throughout the city. I would've loved a scene of Chief stepping up to Arbiter and saluting with a simple greeting of, "Arbiter". With Arbiter holding out a hand for a handshake and just replying with "Spartan", and the two shake hands. Chief greets Arbiter, as soldiers, the only life he's known, while Arbiter greets him as a friend, even when Chief caused him this suffering and demotion. A true respect for each other. They're basically space best buddies. We need that sense of Elite-Human brotherhood again. Hell, I would love to see Blue Team roll up to a place and see Arbiter fighting against the Banished, and just have the five of them completely turn the tide and send the Banished running for their lives in less than a minute of their arrival. Linda popping people off from a distance, Kelly bolting around the battle like a coke-fueled super-rabbit, Fred cutting baddies up so nicely it'd make an anime protagonist jealous, Arbiter taking guys out left and right with a plasma rifle in one hand, and an Energy sword in the other, and Chief just tearin' through with his AR tried and true. 343 has so much to work with for Arby, and they just... don't capitalize on it. Well, that concludes my thoughts. TL:DR - Solid list, with Blue Team and Arbiter being MUST SEE candidates.

Id love to see Jerome and red tram show up at some point. I'm not a huge fan of Halo wars but I've always loved Jerome. Also, being able to find Noble 6s helmet would be sweet. Him being alive would ruin Halo Rrach, despite him being my most favorite character in any halo game I've played.

[@thatchuckwagonguy]

Theoretically, when Jorge activated the slipspace drive, he teleported to a random set of coordinates along with the ships he was on. If he got through the covenant on the ship, (which he probably could, involuntary slipspace teleportation is pretty surprising) he could hold out long enough to send out a distress beacon. Even if it’s unlikely, it’s still more likely than Cortana in Halo 5.

[@hollowpilot]

Hi Viper

[@Lastashio]

Jorge would probably be dead within a couple seconds of the jump due to him being exposed to space without a helmet. Unless I'm magically wrong the close proximity to a slipspace portal opening would kill him or the shields blocking him from "breathing" in space would not be powered due to being cut from their power source. Assuming the ships engines are located in the back by the thrusters.

[@F6FHellcat5]

@@Lastashio Jorge wasn't on the supercarrier though. The Corvette he was on was fully encompassed by the event horizon of the portal, so it's possible that it just popped out wherever fully intact.

Andrew Iorio uhm that doesn't makes sense, unsc ships aren't shielded and they can use slip space just fine, not only so, we saw the In Amber Clad hitch hike on a covenant slipspace field, and ho out normally.
