Arbiter

You know I wouldn’t mind if they added a four or five missions that we could play as the Arbiter

That’d definitely be a blast from the past, though I’ve heard that this campaign will focus on the Chief.

However, they did not mention anything with regards to side missions, which I would envision would branch off the main story. Would definitely be a neat way to expand on the story. Although a mission chain as Arby would be appreciated by me, I would love an antagonistic perspective on the story as well.

Would have to be a seperate campaign of its own because the campaign is meant to focus on John after backlash of him only being playable in 3 out of the 15 missions in Halo 5. I wouldn’t mind seeing him return in some form though.

I hope we see some of Arbiter even if we don’t get to play as him. Such a great character.
In the unlikely event of a story add on is hope they do something based with Arby that would be amazing

Beat me to it. lol After H5 I couldn’t see it being received well as in fans may get worried about the 'ol switch-a-roo happening again. But if it was a DLC mission like an Episode series like H4 I’d be down.

I agree entirely. I would love some side missions with the Arbiter. Obviously 343 confirmed a Chief focused story so anything extra would have to be a side thing. Which I think can only make the game better.

Hopefully we will find out more in July.

Now that H5 has made more casual (and newer) fans wary of split campaigns, it’s doubtful. H2 took a risk with that idea, and it paid off in the long run. But H5 is the more recent addition, and it’s take on split campaigns did not go well at all, and in the long run I don’t think it will pay off like it did in H2. All indications up to this point are that we are getting a single perspective, chief-centric campaign. If we got the Arbiter back as a secondary protagonist that we got to play as in a couple levels, I’d be perfectly okay with that. I’m just saying I don’t believe that will happen.

Personally ,I want him to die at a point in infinite .you can’t carry a character for that long. I want him to die heroically .like saving chief at a point where it would be either MC OR ARBITER. Their lives would be at stake

bloody yes
arbiter is elite
elite is fun to play as

I never minded playing as Arby. As a matter of fact, I believe H3’s campaign greatly suffered from his removal as a playable character. The story became way too one sided again after H2.

I also wouldn’t mind another game with just being Chief. So here’s what I hope will happen. I liked Spartan Ops and loved ODST. A shorter ODST style side campaign focused on Arby, brought to the game in the months after release would be epic. Nothing too long, just some short missions like ODST with some good story.

I’d love some arbiter focused games and books. As much as I’d love for him onto be in infinite I’d also enjoy a spin off series with him as the main character or/and an arbiter series of books similar to the “a master chief story” series.

just make another chief and arbiter game and give them actual dialogue, have their characters bounce off one another. because as much as I liked halo 3 they only had one conversation, and that’s at the end of “The covenant”. and no, sierra 117 doesn’t count because chief doesn’t say anything to him. Johnson tells chief to cool his -Yoink!- and arbiter walks off. “we must go, the brutes have our scent.” Johnson hands chief the rifle, mission starts
