Halo Infinite Enemies
So what kind of enemies do you believe we’ll be seeing in Halo Infinite. So far i think it’s safe to say that the following enemies will be seen:
-
Cortana’s Created - The Banished - Covenant Remnants - The Flood - Forerunner sentinels - Halo Wildlife
-
The CreatedCortana’s quest to forcefully unite the galaxy under her rule with the power of the Guardians and armies led by the Warden make her the primary antagonist of Halo infinite. With access to the Domain and the idea that it was the Librarians intention for Ai’s to assume the Mantle of Responsibility, Cortana has unified a large number of worlds under the command of her Created.
In Halo 5 She uses the might of forerunner machines such as the soldiers and Promethean Knights. Along with those, we may also see use of a number of covenant races such as Grunts and Engineers. I couldn’t see why she couldn’t control the insect Drones or the Lekgolo either.
Humans and their constructs may also serve within her ranks. In Halo 5 concept art and illustrations we see Chief battling a human looking robot spider machine. So perhaps with more advanced Forerunner constructs we can see various robots.

The BanishedAtriox and his warbands stood against the might of the Covenant for years and recently fought for control of the Ark against the unsc Spirit of Fire and its brave crew.
They have proved to be a powerful adversary and bring a brutal and refreshing take on covenant enemies.
With many interesting forces led by characters such as the Twin Hunter Leaders known as Colony, or the brute brothers Pavium and Voridus, the Banished could have many interesting combat scenarios with units we have never encountered in first-person.
- Covenant RemnantsWhile none may be as powerful as the Didact’s hand or the Banished, there may still be traditional minded religious covenant forces. Perhaps Halo Infinite will include the most powerful force in the Halo Universe… Yapyap the destroyer! I’d be happy to see some radicals with a large force of Sharquoi similar to the Brute Hekabe in Halo Envoy.
I don’t want the Arbiter and his forces to take a back seat in this game and would like to see him play a large role assisting the crippled unsc forces such as the Infinity and Spirit of Fire.
-
The FloodAs seen in Awakening the Nightmare, the Flood still hang around on the Ark on High Charity. While they can be used storywise to demonstrate Cortana’s power in quickly defeating them, they can also prove to be a problem for all factions involved. I personally don’t want them to take up the last half of the story as they usually do.

Out of the Campaign I’d like to see a flood survival firefight mode along with OPTIONAL Flood infection game types like Halo 4 and H2A. And maybe even Flood forge objects and terrain.
-
Forerunner SentinelsPerhaps we will see Guilty Spark return in a big way, maybe he will oppose Cortana and prove to be a huge obstacle and a bitter ally. He could command the new types of Sentinels we’ve seen in HW2. I’d hope to see the return of the Enforcer and the super onyx sentinels.
It would also be fun to have Exuberant Witness assist Chief with Forerunner facilities replacing Cortana in that way. But I think brohammer will take the role of Chiefs radio friend. -
Halo/ Ark WildlifeFrom the first Halo Infinite trailer we have seen we know that the games direction will be directed towards mystery and discovery. With tons of potential for animals id be glad to see ride a blind wolf into battle or the things from Reach as well.
