What we know of Halo Infinite is that the story very likely starts with Echo-216 finding John-S117 adrift in space, the ring is battered and broken, and the UNSC is in scattered hiding forces.
What if 343 worked with Creative Assembly again to reinvigorate the cancelled Halo Wars 3 game, but make it a prequel that explains the epic battles that took place just before the starting point of Halo Infinite?
We could see the return of the Spirit of Fire and it’s commanders, but have some new ones like Escharum, Roland, John-S117, Arbiter Thel Vadamee, Rtas 'Vadum, and even possibly The Warden Eternal and Cortana?
It would make for a nice prequel and it would also give the Halo Wars fans more to enjoy.
I don’t think Halo Wars 3 was ever “cancelled” if it never entered production.
In the statement releases they said they didn’t have any interest in making a Halo Wars 3 right now.
To some regard Halo Wars 2 is already a bit of a prequel to a halo Infinite. It introduces the Banished as a faction and even ties in with the Guardians & Cortana’s Created. Whilst it doesn’t directly tie to Zeta Halo & Infinite the story ties are already there.
Books have covered some of the events after Halo 5, Halo Infinite will probably tell us what happened to Chief to have him end up floating in space and what’s happened since we left the story.
Not that Halo Wars 3 doesn’t have a place as a game or as a story during that time but a lot of the build up to Halo Infinite has already been covered.

I understand the books, but unless they unleash a book that directly leads up to Master Chief being floating in space, there will be a large gap that leaves an opportunity for a story fill in the form of a game… either that or a Prequel Story DLC to Infinite.

Like I said in my original post, it’s entirely possible that Halo Infinite will reveal how Chief ended up in space through the story telling in game.
Without knowing the story of Halo Infinite it’s a bit early to call for prequels and such.
Lets wait and see.

Just saying it would be both a great business opportunity to sell us a videogame and I am hopeful that they do, considering how well the studio has been doing so far with the latest releases… unlike their earlier titles very much mixed successes.

Without actual sales figures it’s hard to say what’s a “great business idea” or not. Halo Wars 2 definitely did better than Halo Wars 1 but gaming in general had become much more mainstream in that time which would of increase revenue anyway, especially with the addition of gamepass.
I think a portion of the fans would certainly like a Halo Wars 3 but it’s not really a game that appeals to the masses - meaning it’ll make less money.
Unless they can make Halo Wars 3 a live service game and sustain that for a year or two it’s hard to actually make large sums of money from that genre.

That would certainly explain the Blitz Packs. But they could also just sell us more Commanders and battlefields, possibly even allow us to have skins on our armies as a bonus point to make even more money. Another way to boost sales would be to allow us to have the Mark IV armor core by buying and completing HW3 and giving us Serina and Isabelle A.I.s for use in Halo Infinite. Cross-Promotional materials is always a plus that incentivizes players buying in.

For sure, I think if Halo Wars 3 were to exist they would have to heavily monetise it. Which I understand from a business perspective. I think it’s a fine like they would have to walk of being able to make enough money but also not stepping over the line of making everything a purchase.

343 has shown that they are better than EA / Activision / Ubisoft.
For example : you never get a duplicate of your cosmetics in Halo 5’s REQ system.

Definitely,
Whilst Halo 5’s REQ System wasn’t anti player it was the only means of getting unlocks sadly.
With Halo Infinite they seem to be on the right track for monetisation. Battlepasses stay 24/7, actual in game progression (to a extent).
From my time in the Flight thing seemed good, prices were all placeholder of course but nothing seemed overly priced by any degree & it’s all cosmetic which is nice. They’re in the right direction for sure.

Shame my time in the Flight didn’t happen. I got approved for the flight… AND for overtime at work!
The vids I saw look promising tho.

Aye, the next flight will have more people in too. Should be a blast to have more people get in and play.
Definitely curios to see what the wider audiences opinions on the game are. So far everything’s been rather positive, game feels good. Bit of tuning for progression and a few changes here and there and it’ll be good. Foundations are solid.

Can’t wait to fight the bots that have such well-made A.I. learning that they were taught to Tea-Bag.

Never got this HW3 was cancelled narrative if it appears to have never started production.
Sure you can argue the second game had a cliffhanger but so did the first and 2s tied closely to halo 5 guardians. That aside.
I’d like to see a new wars game but one that departs big time from 1 and 2. Could work as a infinite prequel but not sure I want a prequel if I’m honest. Point of light and shadows of reach sort of did that already. And I expect the games tutorial to begin before the unsc lose installation 07.
My idea for halo wars 3 is Here, posted it a little while ago but got no interest. Check it out if you like but its an old post.so don’t revive it.
Can always reply here if there’s anything you’d care to say about it. It does have an idea that fits Roland well.

I will be sure to check it out when I clock off of work. But yeah, Halo Wars 3 never started production. BUT Creative Assembly had a Prototype Script to follow up and proposed Halo Wars 3 to Microsoft, but the project didn’t get greenlit. So their Proto-Script is just in their background files at their studio now.

I see. So it wasn’t cancelled the story team just had prenplanning done for a sequel. Thats a shame seeing as 343i seem to be making atriox another human hating alien warlord instead of the cool commander we met in wars 2.
At least the banished live on I guess.

He doesn’t hate Humans per-se. After all, there are Humans within The Banished that fulfill combat roles. I think it is more of a fact that now that The Covenant is gone, his presence is known to the UNSC and her allies, resulting in him being treated like a Warlord / Pirate. Of course the UNSC would not want a rogue and wandering faction such as The Banished wandering about. And given what kind of can-o-whupass Atriox received from a very outdated and understaffed Spirit of Fire… he knows it is either beat the Humans or be beaten by us. And he isn’t one to lose.

Have you read shadows of reach?/Listened to Escharums speech from infinite. It paints a clear picture that he now hates humanity.
Theres threads here about it you can check once you are off the 
.
I’d highly recommend the troy dennings blue team books if you haven’t already read them btw.

I have the books… but like I said, rampant overtime has kept me busy.
I can’t even really play Halo right now. This virus has made it so I have a lot of cash and not enough time to enjoy what I spend it on. I bought 12 books a few months back, and I still cannot get to enjoy them.

Haha I feel you I was like that last year and now I’m back on the hunt for work so its the reverse for me now.
Sounds like you might have an important front line sort of gig but if its an option maybe try out audible? I use it to listen to books i don’t have time to read and I actually listened to shadows and then the prior blue team books as a refresher for Infinite. I get a few chapters a day working out, walking my dog and doing general household things like cooking or dishes. Cryptum and the troy denning books in particular have an excellent voice over quality. Might be worth a shot to get you up to date for Infinites story, provided you even get time to play that.
