Campaign DLC?

I know it isn’t likely for 343 to add campaign expansions in their mainline games, but since it is said that Halo Infinite will focus solely on MC I would hope to see a change of mind in the future? I’d like to see Arbiter missions make a return in Halo Infinite. Or perhaps even play as a brute/elite from The Created’s point of view?

I think all games that are story / campaign driven should have campaign or side quest dlc. I know quite a few players that don’t touch multiplayer, it seems fair to me. We can hope.

Well, Halo Wars 2 has OPERATION: Spearbreaker and Awakening the Nightmare. From what I have seen, the fans love them so it isn’t entirely outlandish to think that 343 will continue releasing DLC for Halo going forward.

What I would like to see in terms of DLC would be a campaign with Alpha-Nine. Since the band is back together, something like Halo 3: ODST seems the most logical step.

Because is to pay for 1 or 2 mission

As long as halo infinite launch’s with a complete and satisfying story I’m totally fine with story dlc of some kind. Story dlc would be really cool if done righ.

Yeah, but you’re not paying 60 dollars for a 2 mission dlc. And besides, would you rather pay for 1 or 2 missions or have a horrible microtransaction system?

I’d be down for campaign DLC if they expand on the story and are not required to finish the story (ala Mass Effect 3).

I’d rather they release a finished product instead and not cut content for release as DLC. That’s what the practice has become these days since many realized they could abuse it and make tons of money off it for very little content.

Agreed. I feel like 343 did a good job with HW2. I know they had a cliff hanger ending that felt unfinished, but the DLCs didn’t feel like cut content. It felt like an addition to the story that wasn’t vital to understanding the originally released game.

I’m always down for campaign DLC if it wasn’t originally being developed for the main game and is unique, something that sets itself apart.

if they do, I hope they make it be about a Spartan-IV and make those guys have actual character

I’d like to see full on expansion after the main game is released. Like have it set in the same world but from an alternative perspective, kinda like what OP said with arbiter or playable elites. Personally I would only want this for the story content since you would be paying extra for it. Including expansion exclusive multiplayer features only splits the player base. So that is why I like the idea of an expansion that would give you another good chunk of story content, or make the campaign playable but from the enemy’s perspective.

I would like campaign DLC if it includes meaningful narratives and combat design. I think hitting a 3 to 4 mission target would be ideal especially if Infinite is more of a games for service versus previous game. If Infinite leans towards open world design I do not mind side stories taking place in the same geometry

That literally makes me imagine the idea of a grunt campaign as dlc - you’d play as one of the ‘famous’ grunts (those grunts who survived long and did great deeds),maybe it’d focus on the grunt’s past and how the grunt fought against multiple factions ,or maybe tie-in with infinite’s story,but from a grunt’s perspective . :wink:

We’re assuming they will be one or two missions? From the rumored scope Infinite it could be whole new sections of the map or more quests in the game world.
