A future DLC that follows some ODST's during and immediately after ringfall and ends in a Reach-esq final last stand, this could be released with Firefight.

[@C.C.C.203]

I would LOVE to see a dlc were during the book: Shadows of Reach a team of ODSTs go down to the surface to aid Blue Team but get split up and during a series of events learn the truth of the Forerunner ship that Halsey was researching to make Cortana and the Weapon.

Harbinger: “a person or thing that announces or signals the approach of another.” Her entire role in the game is described in her name.

[@andrewslovak1]

She is Xalanyn and so are The Endless, and she is definitely not worse than the flood

[@LightForxes]

@@andrewslovak1 I think Cortana is referring to the fact that the Xalanyn species can survive after the Halos cleansed the Galaxy, what if the Flood infects the Xalanyn species? Then the Halos are useless and the Forerunners sacrificed and died for nothing. In that context then yes the Xalanyn are worse than the flood with the nature of how they are..

QnA: If Halo Infinite is the backbone of the next 10 years of Halo, do you think it is possible for an ODST style game, or do you think it sets a standard for story, art style, weapon roster, etc.

[@alexlyster3459]

100% possible. The question is does 343 Make one like that, or stick with games on Zeta Halo?

You’ll never see an ODDT game again. That was bungie

[@alexlyster3459]

@@L0kias1 Yeah, so were the original Halo games.......

[@lissandrodanny6709]

I think its possible AND could be set on Zeta Halo. We only explored a minor part of the ring on this campaign, and tbh the inner sections (mostly the ones related to the missions) were a lot more closed quarters, hall oriented areas (there were a lot of open areas also, ok, but they still worked more like the streets of new mombasa than the open areas of the ring). There are 4 new 'main' campaigns I would like to have in Halo Infinite (I do believe 343 could do a 1 year - 'main campaign' with a 'big' campaign, like the one we have, next year - 'side campaign' with smaller one-shot chapters, like the one commented on this video, with the other spartans, quick missions just to add to the history of the game): H3 on the Slipspace Engine. Make it like The Master Chief is telling the story to the pilot, IDC ODST-like campaign Backstory of the Endless (that is possibly the next DLC) The Flood but is more survival oriented (this one could actually be the ODST one, because honestly thinking about it now, with the grapple+pound, fighting the flood doesn't seem too harsh)

[@MuscledRMH]

[@iDontGiveaFett]

What are your thoughts on the Grunts in Infinite? Between things like the shielded Ultra Grunts and the Grunt Mules, I personally think they're the most fleshed out Grunts we've had in the entire franchise and I'm very curious to hear your take on them.

[@bluejayfabrications2216]

I agree with you I think adding different roles has fleshed out the grunts from just disposable cover fire for the elites to close ground on the player To an enemy that has a roll and needs to thought about not just cleaned up at the end of the encounter I'd like to see a grenadier grunt who has an unlimited supply in terms of combat of nades who throws more and varied nades depending on your location on map making them as much of a priority as brute or elite And to balance the extra lethality make the head shot trigger destinations of the remaining grenades Making a risk v reward

[@ashtonmccloud1161]

[@XxBattlesnipexX]

I think the only reason the “endless” are considered worse than the flood, is because the ring can’t kill them off. That’s it.

[@brd5964]

the ring kills everything but the flood and the endless apparently too

[@noellesato311]

That's really all you need. If the Endless take control of the Rings, they can wipe out the whole damn galaxy for FREE. No big sacrifice, just press a button and purge *everyone else* from the galaxy. No more humans, no Covenant, no Banished, no Forerunners, nobody but the Endless. Hell, they could easily utilize the Forerunner's own tech to preserve a bunch of other races for use in scientific research or as slave races. Slave races begin rebelling? The Array remains a free reset button. Point the gun at their heads and they will remain perpetually enslaved and loyal. Wipe the galaxy for yourself? It's literally free real estate. The Endless can have it ALL. Except the Flood. That stays a problem.

[@cucumber7316]

Qna- what do you think about a spin off redeeming locke/osiris while being hunted by Tovarus and Hyperius, and after going on some missions (maybe something like truth and reconciliation where you have to save lasky) you eventually are killed/captured by Hyperius (perhaps a Halo Reach type ending where you fight until your death?)

Taking breaks from anything enhances the experience. I'm taking a Doom vacation right now while enjoying Halo and Metro. I do this with TV shows as well. Havent watched any of breaking bad for a very long time. Excited to jump back in and watch it from beginning to end again.

[@patrickkenny4873]

I think the Bulldog is good in its intended role however I hope they bring the classic pump shotgun back in the future. The bulldog is great because it doesn’t replace the shotgun but fills a new role (a weaker, faster firing shotgun).

[@busychickens4299]

QnA: Personally, I feel that halo infinite is missing a big fight scene and cutscene. I really miss the halo 3 mission cortana where you hop in a hornet, kill 2 scarabs, fight with the flood, and kill truth. I just don't feel like we have that with infinite. Do you agree or disagree with I'm saying?

[@Slender_Man_186]

You’re thinking of The Covenant, Cortana is the flood mission right after it. And I agree, this game could’ve used a Scarab fight here or there.

[@iunnor]

That was the mission The Covenant. I feel you but I understand the perspective that they took in the game. Coming off of Halo 5 where the opening cutscene was a massive battle with little to no context. They did a complete 180 and didn’t want to give us too much too quickly. Base campaign was just supposed sow in future plot points and set the platform they can build off of in the coming DLCs. The massive battle in Halo 3 took all of Halo 2 and most of Halo 3 to build it up, with all of the motivations and stakes in the battle.

Q&A: So you’ve mentioned in the past that one thing about the Banished is that they risk following the same path of fanaticism the Covenant took, would you say Escharum has clearly shown that? To clarify, he seemed to… “pray” to Atriox, holding him on some sort of pseudo-religious pedestal of glory/holiness.

[@Vuthic]

Q&A: Do you have any theories for what The Weapon’s name will be? I hope they don’t go with “Cortana”, to represent both The Weapon as their own character and as a way for chief to ‘move on’ with his story after Cortana’s redemption.

[@FelisImpurrator]

Joyeuse. Marathon had Durendal already, Cortana is Cortana, but Bungie isn't making a third series.

[@ThatSpoiler]

Yeah the Weapon definitely deserves her own name. Despite being a Cortana clone, her experiences have formed her into a much different person. I've heard of theories that she could be named Echo, like "dust and echoes". I'd be happy just calling her Weapon honestly. I'm a sucker for names that are just descriptors of the character.

Q&A: What did you think of the Campaign ending? Any thoughts on the ring like structures that Chief was in? What purpose do they serve? I’m pretty sure they replicate how the rings look like.

Say you're in a flying vehicle, there is no defense or evade to the new emp, whereas the Plasma Pistol had a slower moving glowing projectile, giving the player time to dodge, or at least, see their attacker.

[@MirandaAndUh]

Great Q&A; I'm so torn on Escharum! He's got the suggestion of such amazing presence and Darin De Paul + the animators give him so much gravitas, but I wish he had more direct conflict with Chief. I always default to thinking about how the Second Sister was handled in Jedi Fallen Order. When a villain that aims to (and plausibly *can*) defeat the protagonist through direct combat, it's always best to have multiple encounters where they either beat the protagonist or match them in stalemate, and Fallen Order was full of ways to make that work with the Second Sister. There are a total of three different boss battles of escalating narrative stakes and combat difficulty with her throughout that game leading up the the final one, and by the end you feel she's truly landed as an imposing nemesis. More games should take advantage of that; have a battle with an arbitrary stopping point before a cutscene is initiated while blending in signs through gameplay (such as when you "win" the boss becomes undefeatably powerful), then lead into the cutscene where your character is either on the backfoot and the villain makes a strategic victory that ups the dramatic stakes. TL;DR - 343 came _so_ close to creating a really special villain with Escharum, but like you said, they needed to make him a much more tangible threat within the story and there are a lot of ways they can avoid that with future villains - it's just a shame it wasn't the case here.

I really loved how unlike any other enemy in halo escharum showed respect , for example when he killed you in the boss fight he never did a comment like the other enemies, he always had respect for the chief

[@jerratic1]

I can somewhat agree on Escharum's impact on the plot. It's cool to think that his highest motive was that he wanted to watch Chief overcome all these odds so he can hype himself up more for their one-on-one. The guy was (seemingly) slowly dying anyway from that cough and heavy breathing that was hinted at a lot. He just wanted a legendary last fight before his death. Dude was basically going off his Brute culture is what I got from it.

[@ARavingLobster]

I just kind of assumed the Skimmers were Grunts that the Harbinger had genetically uplifted or advanced in their funky Endless/Forerunner way. Solely just based on their visual design, a bit of their sound design and the fact that the Harbinger is clearly on her own so really all she'd be able to "Gift" to the Banished is taking some of their own cannon fodder Grunts and empowering them so that they can better use more powerful forerunner tech on the frontlines. However the fact that you didn't bring that up at all has me questioning if I'm just crazy, but they straight up just look like Grunts who have had their genesong/geas/whatevs artificially advanced.

About Escharum, I really liked his character. All his speeches are extremely well written and the delivery of those lines are just as good. Totally. But I do think he'd have greatly benefitted from actually doing stuff. There are two things that I really love about him. First is how he views Chief and embraces his death in the hands of a great enemy. Second is that for the first time ever, I actually felt pity for the Brutes. I've never felt that ever. Their homeworld is gone which has a serious affect on Escharum. There is even a particular Audio Log about him reminiscising his lost world. Infinite shows us that the Brutes are more than just violent, animalistic monkeys and Escharum perfectly represents that here.

Q&A: I've got two questions for you. You can choose either one or both. It's up to you. 1. When the Magnum is eventually added into Halo Infinite, what are your expectations for how it will function, how it will be balanced alongside the Sidekick and Mangler, and what design or iteration do you think will be used for this new Magnum? I'm personally unsure about how the Magnum will work alongside the Mangler, since that already functions a lot like the Magnum, but just with a slower fire rate. 2. On the lead up to the release of Infinite, I was playing Batman Arkham Knight and talking about all the suits you can get in the game, and I got the idea of possibly having different armour models for Chief in campaign as unlocks. Stuff like the CE armour, Halo 3 armour, Halo 4 armour, The Package armour (Halo Legends). I dunno, it just sounded like a cool idea, and would give folks a way to experience Infinite with their favourite Master Chief. Thank you for the return of these Q&A's, it's always nice to hear your thoughts on these topics for Halo, same with your discussions and your evolution videos. Those ones are my favourite. Thank you, and have a nice day.

[@AlayoAgua]

I think The Endless are not very dangerous themselves, it's their ability to survive Halo's pulse what makes them a target for the Forerunners. The Endless are innocent; their only sin was having an ability that doesn't go with the Forerunner's agenda. They're not dangerous directly like the Flood, but passively as someone like Atriox could find their secret to survival and use it for power.

[@scarletspark9863]

I agree with you, but i think there is more... In the legendary ending, the forerunner says something that made it seem like the endless could control, or temper Time itself. Which wiuld be problematic for the Forerunner legacy. And Atriox would love to control time, to be able to bring back Doisac from the ashes

Can we talk about the nade at 13:40? That was such a sick nade.

[@LuciaLaVA]

The idea of getting a Halo Reach+ODST style game or dlc based on the fallen Spartans of Zeta Halo would be an amazing idea

[@victorg.r.3468]

QnA: On one of the audio logs we learn that the banished forced a unsc filed medic to open the cylex where the harbinger was imprisioned. At the end of this story we have a crazy medic and the only thing that he said was a series of numbers that makes nosense. What do you thing these mean??

[@mugin2]

Despondent Pyre talks about the Xalanyn which I believe are what the Endless are. What I think the skimmers are is that they may be a sort of lower enemy force like what the grunts and jackals are to the covenant and the Xalanyn, the brutes and elites (maybe something stronger since the harbinger had powers but she may have been a special type of Xalanyn) of the Endless

[@brandonthompson8640]

i will say, as much as i like Escharum and Jega, i love their character designs and theyve got a hell of a lot of screen presence, i definitely feel that when you look back at Tartarus and Truth, whenever they were on screen you always got the sense that as John and the UNSC and Arbiter and Rtas were making progress, they were too. with Escharum, i dont mind the holograms, and his cutscenes are great on the level that he feels really imposing in them and he's cool to watch, but it definitely felt like he was just waiting around for Chief and The Weapon to show up at the end.

[@rudolfclause8151]

QnA: A few years ago, when I was in 8th grade, you actually were able to read through literally every question. I asked you what kind of original gun would you like to see in Halo. So I ask again to see if anything has changed. What kind of weapon would you add to halo that hasn’t been in the sandbox before? I.E a needler double barrel shot gun, a bow and arrow , or a jackle shield. Also now you’re now a massive and very well spoken KZbinr and voice of the halo community how do you choose questions? Is it based on how deep of an answer you can give, the first few you see, or the likes on the comment? Back then I had the Channel name Crow Cruise

[@CharliReef]

I think that the drones could still fit in Halo Infinite. If not to add to the combat loop, then to add to the atmosphere. You want the player to feel empowered and unstoppable? Throw some grunts at them. You want the player to feel like a badass, eliminating powerful foes? Throw some brutes, or elites at them. You want the player to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, and fearful of what's to come? Drones. I feel like a little bit of something is lost without them.

[@superramblebros175]

Great discussions. I personally enjoy the Bulldog and think it fills a unique niche in the sandbox. - Good range - Fast firing rate - Consistent 2-3 shot kills (easy to judge how to engage my battles) This makes me feel more confident in my engagements and makes clean ups easy when team shooting.

[@TherapyGel]

Did you just pull off a Return to Sender with the gravity hammer? Lmao 5:10

[@elementalgamer0732]

The skimmers are squidy you say? Now, what other alien race in Halo are squid like with tentacles and can seemingly float/fly about....

[@benedictusutama8745]

I love the sequence music track

[@relizaga49]

Q&A: In future DLC and multiplayer updates, would you like to see an expansion of the music that's already there, or an attempt to try different styles of music?

[@lanharvids]

Q&A: What do you think of the repulser NOT being in infinite's campaign? After the flights I was excited to use it in the open world, but then was disappointed. Thanks LNG! Have a Happy Holidays!

[@roar104]

Thrust should have been bound someway else for campaign and repulsor could fill it's slot in the 4 swappable equipment.

[@crag6523]

So I'm all about weapons in Halo, I love the sandbox and I wish that one day all weapons and vehicles could return. So my question is, what weapons from past games do you want back and how would you balance them? For me, I'd like the Plasma rifle to return with a stun effect like CE, the needle rifle because I have always loved it and they could just balance it's damage to match Infinites ttk and finally the grenade launcher

[@Hadgerz]

I get the feeling that the animators took the 'brutes can move mountains' quote rather literally, judging by the way Atriox casually tosses and swings Chief around like he's made of pillows rather than several hundred tons of titanium alloy. Talk about raising the stakes. I remember the days when Brutes used to be 'as strong as the chief', according to the First Strike novel.

[@itsyurmumm8458]

I’m sure the stronger larger brutes could destroy a spartan easily. Remember, Master Chief wasn’t a HUGE spartan compared to other Spartans. Additionally much of their strength and reflexes are is derived from their armor combined with their neural implant. A naked spartan would be torn limb to limb by a naked brute. Brutes can be 8-9 feet tall and weigh nearly half a ton. Safe to say Atriox could’ve just tossed Chief. Even Elites were formidable foes to Spartans.

[@chrismidis9024]

Q&A: what are some combat elements, enemies, or other things you wanted to see in campaign but was seemingly absent? I really wanted marines to be able to drive vehicles and i wanted a scarab battle

[@therandomvideoman111]

QnA: How likely do you think it is that members of the Covenant/Banished (even high ranking ones) dont realize that the UNSC is an acronym and just think its just like a word pronounced "Youenessee" that we call ourselves, similar to how all of the alien races have their species name and then the nicknames like Elites, Brutes, etc.

[@Mono_Person]

5:14 was that a gravity hammer deflect?!?!?!?? holy crap

[@scrathy8918]

QnA: How do you think 343 will integrate new weapons and abilities into Halo Infinite with the 10 years of Halo Infinite. Will they bring them in with a new season or will it be introduced with a campaign DLC. Or do you think they just won't introduce new weapons and abilities and continue to just leave the sandbox be?

[@Antare5]

Q&A: What did you think about The Weapon implying she wanted to take Cortana's name as a form of carrying that mantle? Personally I thought it cheapened both Cortana actually dying as well as the Weapon's own unique quirks setting her apart from Cortana. Am I reading too much into it?

[@cerebralcloud92]

Chances are, Weapon will actually take up the name Joyeuse, or shortened to Joy.

[@kestrel7493]

@@cerebralcloud92 why are those the chances? I didn't catch onto that at all when playing mysel

[@cerebralcloud92]

@@kestrel7493 It’s not something that’s immediately obvious. Back in Marathon, Bungie named an AI Durendal. Then, they had Cortana. Both of those names are the names of swords from Charlemagne legends.

[@Antare5]

@@cerebralcloud92 ok now keeping that sort of legacy I would be for over the implication as I was reading it. Don't know if 343 will carry that little legacy forward though.

[@cerebralcloud92]

Forgot to clarify, Joyeuse is also a Charlemagne sword of legend.

[@kravman2471]

QNA- do you think if we were able to play as the dead spartans like ODST, villains such as Tovarus and Hyperius could have been more effective or intimidating?

[@KatsuyaTheFuuk]

QnA: With the sandbox we have now, how crazy do you feel Custom Games is gonna get once Forge drops? With the Halo community's creativity, how much potential do you think Custom Games has? Thinking about it gets me excited

[@gruntes11isttt]

The skimmer reminds me of crawlers. They can have any weapons even rockets or snipers like how the crawlers in 4 could spawn with a binary and 1 shot you. Instead of crawling on a wall to get an angle they fly instead they both weak and slow moving when they trying to get an angle but fast when they first arrive.

[@leegofilms]

What was your favorite boss fight in the campaign? And did any of the HVTs stick out to you? Any interesting stories?

[@blizzary9369]

QnA: ive played through infinite on both normal and legendary now and i still cant wrap my head around why the sentinals fight alongside the banished and use their weapons. Wouldnt it make sense for them to fight against both chief and the banished? What do you think of this?

[@supermcspotty]

Afaik harbinger has taken control of the ring and the oracle thought she was helping until he sides with chief.

[@hanszecrusader379]

Q&A- how do you think halo infinite will look in about lets say 5yrs sense 343 say how they want to make this a platform for future halo experiences, i think halo infinite will end up being a really REALLY good game once they add more weapons, playlists, and maybe even story DLC. Love your content, much love ♥️

[@Puppy_Puppington]

5:16 lucky you D; I been trying so hard to do that but I keep forgetting to batter up lol

[@jaysingh8293]

QnA: how would you include Locke into the dlc for Halo infinite assuming that he makes an appearance at some point. Personally, I'd have Locke be a frustrated angry Spartan how has become hot tempered over the loss of the infinity and possibly his own team (not sure if it's mentioned in the audiologs). Through his adventures with chief he becomes more stoic and level headed to sort of become a successor.

[@caprex117]

Heck yeah is good, you only have to hold the trigger and let it do the magic.

[@A-Legitimate-Salvage]

Q&A: 1) What did you think of the High Value Targets and did you have a favorite? 2) There’s been a lot of talk about how Infinite’s brutes compare to previous incarnations, but how do you think the Elites stack up? Which iteration have you found most fun to fight?

[@Usualsf]

Thanks for including my question man! I really like the Bulldog but nothing beats the old shotgun.

[@pandito46]

QnA: if there was to be any encounters similar to that of the Halo 3 scarab, what enemy would you choose, a banished scarab or something else entirely, and how would you design that fight? Greetings from Mexico my friend! Love your work, keep it up!

[@gefnaut117]

QNA: What are your thoughts on Jega R’domnai and how do you think fighting him was in your opinion? Love the content! Keep up the good work my man!

[@saratoga5574]

Q: do you think it would be a good idea to add a bow and arrow to halo infinite? I always liked seeing it in games that look like they shouldn't have it like destiny or apex legends.
