I haven’t included those who are presumed to be in the game, such as the Prometheans and the Storm Covenant.
New Colonial Alliance
I believe they will make an appearance. I would love it if humans were the enemy. I don’t know why, just mixes things up a bit. If not the New Colonial Alliance, maybe ONI, UNSC, or Insurrectionists of some other kind.
The Flood
I would love to see the Flood back. Now with net-gen gaming, they could look incredible. There is one spawn wandering around the Spirit of Fire.
Brutes
It would be cool if they were to somehow join the covenant remnants.
Forerunners
Perhaps the Didact survives (once again) after being killed in the comics. Or we come across an army of surviving Forerunners?
Have I missed anyone? What are your thoughts?
The only problem I can think of with human enemies is that they’re like Grunts. One shot to the head and they’re done for. Wouldn’t be much challenge in that.
Brutes are still out there but after the Covenant disbanded they’ve started to take more interest in caving their own heads in since they don’t have proper leadership anymore.
I don’t think they’ll return.
I think it’s still too early to fight the flood again. Think about it. We just defeated them in halo 3. Second, if the flood were in halo 5, we’d have a lot of different factions. The deep space anomalies which are probably forerunner, Jul and Halsey with the storm covenant, didact (confirmed in halo 5), possibly innies, and locke’s team. Give the flood more time. 343i should put them at the end of halo 6 or just halo 7. The only thing I want from flood this game is a mention of them in a cutscene or maybe a terminal
Would love to see the Flood return. If I remember right we saw one in the hunt the signal ARG.
Think it isn’t too out there for them to return, it’s been since Reach that we haven’t gotten to fight any. The anomaly in space could be a reaction from the flood making a reappearance, or more simply the flood itself.
Realistically tho I’m just itching to blast them away with the shotty!
We need ONI to sick all there Spartans at us and cause a civil war between Chief’s followers and ONI’s man-hunters, Locke is just the leader.
Any objections? I really didn’t think so.
