Halo Infinite campaign

First off I don’t often post here I usually just come here to check out other people’s opinions and this will be a first post of mine for a fair while.
With that being said with the long wait for any new infinite news has lead me to re watch the trailers a fair few times now and something came to my mind whilst watching and I would like to share my thoughts on how I think the campaign will unfold.

So during the Deliver Hope trailer I noticed that the new pilot after bringing chief out of survival mode says “welcome back chief” now this has gone over my head a few times as him just welcoming chief back from being asleep until now it has just occurred to me that maybe the way he says it is less of a informal hello and more to the fact that the chief and the pilot may have a history(not romantic).

it also then brings up the point that the cutscene we were showed is the first cutscene of the game and in said cutscene we see a damaged halo ring which lets be honest is a big thing to leave out of the game and poses many questions this brings me to my next point.

Story
The theory that I am formulating in my mind is that infinite will take a lot of the Halo ODST formula and apply it to its campaign for example the semi open world and more importantly how we unravel the story. Similarly to how ODST has you going to certain places on the map to find objects of interest which then sends you to the moment these objects played their parts.

I believe Halo infinite will start with this cutscene then have you go back onto the halo to unravel what happened and how it came to being destroyed. this will roughly go on for about a 1/3 of the campaign Until the timelines are cleared up then it will continue with the story.

I feel like the exclusion of the destruction of the halo is too big of a plot point to leave out what are your thoughts and opinions? Sorry for any bad grammar or Engrish I’m a pretty lazy Typer!

It was already confirmed that the Discovery Hope trailer will be how Halo Infinite’s campaign starts. As for the semi-open world concept I keep hearing about, I wouldn’t be surprised at this point since it’s been implied for a very long time and they keep hinting at the game having a massive landscape. I’m curious about Installation 07 being damaged as well honestly, the pilot kept hinting that they lost everything so presumably the Infinity ship was involved in some way if John is present. I don’t think they’ll be doing flashback missions again though since some called it dissappointing to not play as much of the Rookie as they really thought they would’ve. I can imagine a few flashbacks in whatever previous battle occured that caused the story to go in the direction it did in Halo Infinite.

I think we might see both Master Chief and the Pelican Pilot trying to find any survivors on the Zeta Halo Ring in the upcoming Halo Infinite.

I think that the UNSC Infinity ship has crash landed on the Zeta Halo Ring. I also think that Halo Infinite will have some open world gameplay especially if you want to find any survivors on the Zeta Halo Ring.
