I wonder in the original trilogy, Halo 1-3 stories came to an end with a warthog run. So I wonder will Infinite have a final epic warthog run like we had with Halo 3, i really hope so maybe have a option to pilot a pelican for once? If this does come true i can imagine my post getting noticed after the end of Infinite’s story.
2 didn’t end with a warthog run, it had the Tartarus battle.
I think it was fine for CE to end that way, and maybe 3 (I would argue that 3’s warthog run was more fun), but it seems kind unoriginal at this point.
That’s kinda why they’ve mostly done other things since. Reach had anti-air gun, 4 had bomb detonation, ODST had engineer defense, etc.
I’m hoping they never end a halo game with a warthog run again. It might not be so bad to just have a warthog run in the middle or beginning of a game though. Pelican would be a cool idea, might be kinda fitting to have a pelican evac depending on how Infinite ends.
It’d be a cool nod I think, but again, since it has already been done twice, maybe not. I’m like 50/50 on it. Part of me wants to see a “boss fight” but Halo typically doesn’t do those well.
Halo has never been able to get boss battles quite right. With the exception of the Heretic Leader, Halo’s boss battles weren’t much to write home about. CE’s warthog run was a unique way to end a game, and H3’s warthog run was a great homage to that.

I agree that a warthog run in line with CE or H3 wouldn’t be very original. So I’d be happy with a new variation on that idea. CE had the timer, and H3 had the map falling apart around you. If we had another warthog run, I’d prefer a different twist. Perhaps make it a Banshee run or Pelican run.
While I love the Halo CE and Halo 3 warthog runs I have to agree with others here in that I’d like to see something different, like how about a tank run? My idea for an ending would be having the Chief foil whatever Escharum‘s plans are and really -Yoink!- him off so he hits the Chief with full force and sending everything he has at him. Chief sees the overwhelming number of banished coming at him and knows he doesn’t stand much of a chance, but like the badass he is he readies his weapon and begins heading towards them. But before he heads towards his inevitable death Blue Team and the Arbiter (or whoever’s helping him throughout the game) shows up in an Avengers Endgame like moment with a bunch of tanks.
You then finish the game by blasting your way through countless banished forces which include wraiths, phantoms and scarabs.
