We all know Sangheili are coming back as a playable race. But the question is: Are Forerunners coming as a customizable avatar choice as well? I’ve heard so many rumors stating this is going to be the case. Not only that 343 themselves that Infinite would have more customization than any of the previous games. What are your thoughts?

That would be pretty neat, but I don’t know how you’d get away with customization without abandoning the premise of the creature type. I mean, you’d be stuck with the soldiers, since they’re the only ones that are the right size. They’re supposed to be faceless enemies, with no individuality. With the Elites, at least they had different ranks to work with. Soldiers don’t really have that. If they gave them specializations (like Stormtroopers, in Star Wars games) that might work, but they’d have to work that in, in the story. There no precedent for it, now.
343 said long ago that they weren’t planning to add new playable characters to Infinite as part of doubling down on the Chief. I doubt, therefore, that playable Forerunners would be added.
Also, nobody knows that playable Elites are returning. 343 has made no comments on that as of yet.
If you can play as the blue promethean model, I’m 100% all for this.

By forerunner, do you mean a playable promethean or a forerunner?
If, and I say IF, Sangheili are even playable, the only other species I think could work would be Jiralhanae as unlike the Prometheans, have individuality and rank structure. With the popularity I see of “Banished” Spartan Companies and Atriox as a character in general, I think a Spartan - Elite - Brute triangle would work better. (I’m slightly biased considering I appreciate fleshed out characters from lore and have not seen an example of a Promethean showing any real character developement) when I customize my character, I like to “live in their shoes”. If we could play as a Soldier, the more the merrier, but I don’t see how they could work.
I’m all for playable as living forerunners or promethean soldiers for like an invasion game mode but i doubt it will happen.
It would make for an interesting game type:
Spartan vs Elite
Spartan vs Promethean
Elite vs Promethean
I would actually like to see new Promethean vehicle types in the game.
I want it all.
Spartans
Elites
Brutes
Prometheans (soldiers probably, but maybe knights)
Forerunners
Flood (variants of the organic above or original forms)
Precursor?
Prelate? (Prophet soldiers)
I’d also love if they made a Star Wars Battlefront style gamemode where players are marines/grunts/crawlers by default but can select more powerful units as the match progresses. I know it’s stupid, but it sounds great to me (maybe because i’m stupid lol). Note that a lot of the AI in previous Halo games were playable with glitches/mods, so don’t say that it’s impossible.
Also, would you yoink a brick if Master Chief gets turned into a Promethean? I could see a plotline where Chief becomes Promethean to stop Cortana (or the flood), and she has a sad moment where she meets Robo-Chief and feels bad that she drove him to actually become a machine… Technically, we’d still be playing as Chief… Checkmate.
