In the original we could play both UNSC and Covenant which was great but this time I want more factions to keep gameplay interesting. I’m thinking along the lines of Flood and Prometheans. From the likely timeline of the game Prometheans would probably have to be an online only faction to play as. What do you guys think?

I’d like if there were prometheans
I prefer only UNSC and Covenant but very well developed.
Flood and prometheans may work well as map based, CPU controlled stuff or in the campaign. Instead, I would remove the rebels, they never made much sense.

They would probably end up as CPU controlled but what a bonus it would be if we could play as them. I both liked and disliked the rebels as it was a proper acknowledgement of the rebels in the games apart from a few brief mentions in Reach but they weren’t interesting to fight and were just things to shoot.

Way I imagine it is the Knights are the Spartan unit equivalent with higher ranks being the upgrades and the Watchers being support units along with Crawlera and possibly having regular Warrior Servants as the standard infantry, perhaps make them stronger than the other factions standard infantry but have less of them in a group.

They should have more playable factions for sure, maybe even mixed factions like the arbiter and elites siding with humans or an engineer with the ODSTs, lol
Your standard UNSC and Covenant factions with Flood and Prometheans scattered throughout.
Promethean watcher could be the equivalent of the warthog/ghost. To balance them having an initial flying scout it would have to land to collect resources and be open to a one hit kill ram whilst doing so. Later in the game you could attach the watchers to other units like the protector sentinels.
Rebels were great for giving the player something to do early in the game instead of just waiting around for resources. A flood faction would maybe have to attack rebels for resources instead of collecting crates as their structures would most likely be organic.

Adding forerunners would be nice. Anyways, have you seen that wierd ape-like creature in the trailer, what is it? I sincerly won’t like a completely new faction. It has to be something iconic, like the forerunners, instead of some ape warrior race thingy, it’s not a good idea to add something like that, it would just -Yoink- up the whole Halo universe.
The Brute? Do you mean the Brute from the trailer? Brutes are a canonical race that have been featured in Halo 2, 3, and Halo Wars already…

Are you familiar with the whole Halo Universe? Or even a part of it? Did you play Halo Wars? Brutes have been a big part of the whole universe. They are one of the races from the Covenant, a rival to the Elites(I hope you know what an Elite is) who actually take over the Elites’ role in the Covenant as seen in Halo 2 and they are the main leader force for the Covenant in Halo 3: ODST and Halo 3. You hear even more from them in the books. I would say they are much more iconic than the forerunners. The promethean knights and so on didn’t show up until Halo 4.
Are you talking about the Halo 5 launch trailer? Or the Halo Wars 2 announcement trailer?
Based on this being a Halo Wars 2 thread discussing the factions in HW2, I felt safe assuming that CountySolid2118 was referencing the Halo Wars 2 announcement trailer. Contextually, it makes sense.
I believe there should be cause hey more factions are the better u know more experiences and hey my family is big fan of the halo universe I know and loved it all my life we think there should be more factions like UNSC and covenant of corse swords of shangilie (sort for spelling) heretics, and colonial factions and especially Forerunner and more. If any one agrees leave a comment and Dev if u see this plz comment. Thank for the great halo games that U interduce to us
I would love to see each character for multiplayer have completely unique: units, specials, power ups and leaders. Unsc, arbiter, Prometheans, flood, forerunner and brute. It would be awesome for multiplayer if Master Chief, arbiter, maybe Cortana were playable heros.

Wishful thinking. Proposing multiple factions whilst concurrently arguing that they should all be entitled to a unique selection of units is a patently whimsical notion. How much playtesting would that take? Who would you trust with such a task? This goes beyond simple risk taking. Surely you can see this?

Look a the game gray goo to see how the flood could work.
I could definitely see them adding the Promethean or maybe even another new faction that involves the A.I. that now control the UNSC forces combined with Promethean tech from the end of Halo 5. That would definitely help flesh out this new point in the history of the HALO universe.
