I think it would be amazing if they could implement DLC to the campaign that isn’t just for Infinite’s story. Obviously there will be expansions to the Infinite story as was stated I believe, but like things from the past as well would be awesome. Things from the books, or things from a previous Halo game from another big characters POV. Like some of the things Chief did and went through in The Fall of Reach book would be awesome, like Him and Linda fighting the covenant off to destroy the data the covenant was trying to get to as Reach was being invaded. Like a small spin off DLC. If anyone played Gears of War 3 and played Raams Shadow, something like that. That was extremely fun small Campaign DLC that was not apart of the games main campaign but gave a great view of another time period that was never mentioned in the games. Maybe that sounds too far out there but I would love something like that for Infinite’s campaign expansion! Or possibly we could get to play as Jerome 092 for a mission or two as a DLC to learn more about him. Just some random thoughts. Let me know what you think!
I just got into the books myself. I agree. It would be cool to see some of that storyline.

Yeah I just finished The Fall of Reach last week and the idea came to my head about that!
I would really dig a side campaign where we get to play as our multiplayer Spartan. They could do the whole Destiny thing where our personal AI does the talking for us, or something akin to Noble Six in Reach where our character only speaks like 3 times in the entire campaign.
It seems like this is the direction they are planning to go anyway, though. Considering MC can’t be the main character forever, switching to our own custom multiplayer Spartan is the best move.

I have a feeling that’s the way they’re gonna go after the initial campaign. Something like Spartan Ops but without all its flaws.
That would be awesome. I’m assuming there will be like three or four huge, major story expansions with the rest being these kind of spin-offs you’re talking about.

I hope so!
story based DLC is cool for lore nerds, but I believe if they do decide to go the DLC route (I am confident they will do something) I feel that a flood DLC is most obvious, just like what they did in Halo Wars 2.
yea a story DLC would be really unique. I, a person who can quickly do a campaign, would be very good. I like the idea of the flood coming back because we haven’t seen that in the recent main series. I loved fighting the flood in halo 3. we could have a DLC where the covenant invades the Halo ring and you have to board the ship and kill the captain and the rest of the ships crew, I think that would be fun.
I like the side stories idea but i honestly just want a complete game at launch. H5 was the worst as it added just the basic game and then popular modes like infection came later. I think they should just release these “side stories” if they have them at launch no DLC or maybe something every season.
I mean, that is likely the point of Infinite being a 10 year platform, but we haven’t even gotten the first campaign yet.
Which I’d much rather get into MP first and wait for a fleshed out campaign instead of holding up sections just to get everything to align. Especially given the age of constant updates and always online is standard.
I’m totally fine with major campaign releases taking their sweet time, but I am curious if there will be smaller side stories pushed out.
(Which in a similar note, I’m still surprised Bandai hasn’t done something like this with Battle Operations + the truck load of side stories and content they have, not that we’d get most of it here anyways)
From perspectives spanning from Spartan IIIs during operation Promethieus, Marines on Harvest, Johnson on his escape from Alpha Halo, the Headhunters, to Prelate San 'Shyuum, Sangheili during the Great Schism, or even during the Forerunner-Human-Flood wars. (The last one is questionable because overall the Forerunners despite having been fleshed out more may still need to be kept somewhat mysterious)
Great oppurtunity to make Elites and maybe Brutes playable again in a noncompetitive environment. Being a squishy ODST would be cool even in a customs game. I’ve been really wanting more stuff involving Usze and 'Ntho, and the Ferrets.

Yeah I like that idea!

No doubt! Obviously until the game releases we have no idea what is to come. With it being a 10 year platform I am really excited to see what they are going to do with it! Just getting my hopes and wishes out there to see if anyone agrees I guess lol.

I don’t see why the Chief can’t be the main character forever.
I’m all for spin-offs or taking other characters for a deeper dive though.

The seasons in mp seem to be story driven already, main campaign is based around master chief, look what happened with Halo 5’s campaign…
I can’t see 343 making same mistake again, I doubt they would stray too far in future campaign dlc’s for infinite
There is definitely a lot of stories that can be told in the Halo Infinite story expansions. I am still hoping that we can see Arbiter getting his own DLC Campaign levels in Halo Infinite.

Same here!
