A more permenant base of operations has been setup its safe for john to travel and for the UNSC not to get overwhelmed)

> Mission 6

> John arrives at reach and goes into the facillity, this is where banished ships appear, they’ve been tailing john since the ring, they will try kill him for the second in command brute guy. They almost have john captured, outnumbed and out gunned, john is on the floor about to be crushed by a Gravity hammer, Enter Spartan B312. Noble 6 uses emiles Knife and slits the throat of the Brute, John gets up and they fight side by side, the kill the banished and continue with johns orginal plan, they find a secret facillity with a second AI, an exact clone of cortana, one without the issues.

> Mission 7
>
> John and Noble 6 arrive at the UNSC stronghold, Noble in the banished Phantom and john in the pelican, palmar sees noble 6 and starts using him for killing high value targets and getting valuable intel on the banished, John goes off and heads towards a control room, the banished much like the covenent have been poking around the forerunner structure, here they find a flood spore and along with it a AI, forerunner in apperance, it says to them; “I am mendicant bias”

> Juat typed this out for a laugh, the one thing to take from this i really want to see noble 6 return, i refuse to believe that he dued on reach, infinite seems like a reboot. I’m hooing gameplay is very similar to halo 3 with a thrusterpack for small strafing and faster movement without sprint.

> Thats my story i’d like to see similar in infinite, whats yours ? Post yours below.
Interesting ideas. I’d like to see the thruster pack, but not sure if they’ll bring it back with the introduction of the grappling hook. Sprint has been confirmed as well as clamber, but groundpound and spartan charge appear to be removed (looks like a good balance between classic and modern gameplay to me). The story is a spiritual reboot so it will definitely continue the events of halo 5, but set some time later. This will allow the game to seem fresh at first, but still continuing what halo 4 and 5 have set up.
Anyway, here is my prediction:
The audio log will be part of a prologue cutscene, involving chief and Halsey discussing their plans immediately after halo 5.
The game will flash forward about 2-3 years to the discover hope cutscene. At the end of Discover Hope, the pelican is attacked. Most likely by the banished. The opening mission will involve chief boarding the banished ship, fighting a close quarters battle, and destroying the ship.
Chief and Brohammer will then land on the ring and the next few missions will involve fighting off the banished forces on the ring. The July 2020 demo is said to be about half way through. In the demo, the Brute War Chief Escharum mentioned “the Harbinger”. I think the Harbinger will be the true villain of Infinite, and will have major ties to halo 4 and halo 5.
Anyway, I think the battle with Escharum will take place, a mission or 2 after the demo, and at first, it will seem like a major triumph, but then cortana will show up with a guardian.
The next couple missions will involve chief battling Prometheans and eventually coming face to face with cortana, using the ai containment device, or whatever we saw in the discover hope cutscene. But when he does, cortana will quickly disappear and the Harbinger will reveal that evil cortana was just an image he used to manipulate chief.
Chief will fight the Harbinger, but lose, but just before the Harbinger gets a chance to kill chief, Brohammer shoots the Harbinger through his pelican. However the Harbinger quickly kills Brohammer, but Chief escapes, and returns to the remaining UNSC forces on the ring, only to find out the Harbinger has tricked the banished into releasing the flood. Chief, as well as the remaining Spartans are sent to fight off the flood. Most of the Spartans are either killed by the Harbinger or the flood, but eventually they lush the flood back to an extent. Chief and Locke fight the Harbinger in a final boss fight, in which Locke distracts the Harbinger long enough for Chief to deliver the killing blow to the Harbinger. The game ends with the Harbinger destroyed, but the flood and the banished remaining a threat.
