The Guardians will have the same design as in halo 5
I don’t get the impression that the Guardians will feature much in Infinite. Their story (and that of Cortana) will probably be put on hold for the first Campaign instalment. And that’s a good thing - keep it simple to help rebuild the population (including new PC players).

This.
I doubt the Infinite Launch Campaign will feature Cortana or the Created as far as gameplay is concerned. Though I fully expect to see them referenced in dialogue and terminals, etc. She effectively runs the galaxy at this point, but I don’t think she will be integral to the story to start with.
Think of Cortana as Darth Vader, and Infinite’s Launch Campaign as the Rogue One movie.
Not a crucial element of the story, but may show up at the end to rek the joint!

Yep. The lore of Halo is fascinating - but can be a bit overwhelming. I loved the story of Halo 4 but have to admit to getting very confused on my first play through.
If Infinite is a ‘reboot’ it needs to accessible for everyone; including newbies and/or those returning after a hiatus.
Start with a simpler, self contained story. The Chief vs the Covenant (Banished) on a new ring. Pretty much a redo of Halo:CE. Make it digestible for everyone… then drip feed the Halo universe on the grander scale so we can all get on board before going after Cortana and her mates.
Infinite can’t be a total reboot and erase what happen before (we are not in Terminator Dark fate). I don’t like Cortana being evil, but it was an important thing in Halo 5 story and it would be horrible to just ignore that. The campaign’s begining will certainly be about the banished, but it cant be only about that. In Halo CE, there was the Covenants, Forerunners and Floods. Halo Infinite can’t have only the Banisheds (the covenant’s alternate)
