My ideal Halo Infinite plot ideas!

&lt;p&gt;Hi guys!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been thinking about what would make Halo Infinite a success in my eyes. Here’s what I came up with:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay, so we’re all tired of Cortana as a villain, right? I mean it just doesn’t feel right and she is not imposing at all. She’s just using Forerunner tech to control us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best thing they could do, in my eyes, is to do a time jump to the last stand against Cortana and let that be the opening mission of the game. Near the end of the mission, as Chief defeats the Warden Eternal, someone familiar reveals himself… the Didact. He survived and has now returned to reclaim the Prometheans and all the Forerunner tech under Cortana’s control. In doing so, he kicks Cortana out of the Domain and then Chief retrieves her and makes a run for it. They could make that a Warthog run. I think that’d be pretty fun to open the game with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now that we’ve retrieved Cortana, it’s time to save her. How, you ask? We go back to Reach! This will be the second mission. In it, we have to retrieve data from the Forerunner device Halsey used to create Cortana. Motivation to save Cortana from a military point of view? Because she could have retained very valuable information about the Forerunner technology they’re up against.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now this is a long shot at best, but if they really wanted to, they could even reveal Noble Six to be alive. He could pop up when Chief is surrounded by enemies to help him. He then quickly mentions how he is happy to finally find someone to help him get off the planet and report in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Back at the Infinity, we get a nice cutscene where Six and Halsey greet each other. We then use what we found to restore Cortana. She then says “I knew we’d be good together, and I was right” (like she did in the Deliver Hope trailer) as her own quirky way of saying thanks to the Chief.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At this point, the Arbiter, who was off on another mission with Blue team, arrives to bring terrible news. The Banished have arrived and they were followed… by the Flood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We then start the real story of the game, which is a four-way war between Humanity/Sangheili, the Didact, the Banished and the Flood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Beyond that, I’m not sure how to make up the dialogue and story progression/missions because I’m not a writer, but if they follow these lines, we will be in for a treat!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Side note: If they do all this, we DEFINITELY need a scene where the Gravemind and the Didact communicate and we NEED to see a lot of Forerunner VS Flood stuff!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me know what you guys think and if you have anything to add/change!&lt;/p&gt;

I don’t know what you’re trying to say here so I’ll assume you came into contact with the earliest known history recorded in the Precursor Domain. It’s alright, over time, the Domain’s knowledge is known to grow more confusing.

Niaaa… It’s a known bug here on Waypoint. It happens when the server lags out it seems. It creates a double post and the duplicate exchanges all square breaks with triangular breaks in the syntax. It happened to me once after editing a post for instance, never seen it as a tread though!

PS.: this means there is also a copy of the tread without the bug, I think the mods can close this one.

You already have a thread on this that doesn’t look like a newspaper run through a high speed fan
