Humans would have a third leader possibly forth depending on how they deal with Forge and arbiter this leader would be a inssurectionist. (special unit Rumbledruger) strong unit capable of fighting spartans but dies because of the unstable drug
Covenant would have a hertic leader (special upgrade heritic banshees) possibly swords of sanghelios if its closer to halo 5
Forunner if in the game, would be the librarian or mendicate bias
Flood if in the game, no idea (open to suggestion)
Gravemind, but honestly I think having leaders is kinda dumb, I hope it’s more of factions and there are upgrades and trade offs for each which make each play style unique, and allows for a good numbers of ways to play for one faction.
I agree I kinda feel they will stay traditional but then I can also see them going with a loadout kind of thing were you get a slot for a unique upgrade and special ability and unit and you unlock them trough different means and apply them to your own custom faction. It would also allow them to release new units without having to add entire new characters.
Also the units I listed probably wouldn’t be what it would be of this was reality except probably the heritic banshee because that makes the most sense and its iconic.
Yeah, and let’s be honest they would probably have trouble coming with whole new characters, and if they did they would probably end up as DLC, and they would put all the cool stuff in it, like the grizzles.
I would love Rebel faction even though they will probably be in DLC. And if they were in the game at launch I really hope they are not just reskinned units.
Yeah I don’t see it being hard to create a new character if there not featured in the campaign all they would have to do is create a basckstory and a menu picture. If they went all out they could have a campaign also but its not necessary.
It would be cool if they gave the heritic elites the correct skin also but the banshee is a must have.
I want the innies so bad because besides the books we have seen not very much of them except for holding bases in the first game.
Just one rebel leader or branch for both factions is all I want lol its already there in lore.
I want them as a different faction, not a subfaction. Like the flood. If the flood was a faction they would have one leader (the gravemind) unless they make up another flood leader.
Another faction would be cool but then ppl would expect each would have 3 or more leaders causing more work meaning it may not be accomplished.
I think they should try for making them a sub-faction of humans and covenant and if they have time then try to make the other two characters for each.
I could see it like this when you go to select there is your 3 human leaders on the left and then your 3 covenant on the right and then below them are the two rebel leaders or more depending on if there is flood/forunners/anything else
I think it would be cool if you could only unlock them if you done something with all of the 3 other characters in that species.
