From my Twitter. Here are my thoughts today about Halo Infinite. A hub n spoke world design set amongst the universe. Where Chief’s team & The Arbitrator’s team are taking the fight to Cortana on 2 fronts. While Lock’s and Palmer’s teams are out collecting Forerunner tech/info and weakening Cortana’s grip on The Created. The player can pick which team they want to play as they further their own part of the story. Cut scenes will link the overall story with the other teams arch. Each team could be up to 4 player co-op either Lan or Xbox Live. (Sorry no split screen. At least for campaign.) One teams big bad for their part of the game could be the Brutes, Mendicant Bias & The Flood, or remnants of the old Covenant. The Chief’s and Arbiter’s big bad would still be Cortana and The Created. This style would take players across the universe and expand upon the known and unknown. Parts of the expanded universe could be playable for the first time and we could revisit places played in the past IE Reach or the destroyed ring.
You would have to complete all parts of the spoke, (5 to 7), before moving on the your next major objective (wheel). Maybe 8 to 12 “wheels” per team. You wouldn’t have to play as all the teams to complete the overall story. However you would if you wanted to collect all the skulls and terminals. Something like an achievement for collecting each teams skulls and terminals with a larger weighted achievement if you collect all four team’s. Yes, their should be a special Legendary Ending if you complete the game as all four teams on the legendary difficulty setting as well as 4 separate POV Legendary Endings for each team. I know this is a metric ton of game play to wade through.
I haven’t thought about multiplayer, yet. However, if the REQ system continues there could be armor and emblem unlocks for achievements and various other in game milestones. No these items wouldn’t only be unlockable but also could be purchased with certain amount of REQ points.
These are just some thoughts. So let the inevitable flaming begin! “Flame on.”
