We all know that the banished are in halo infinite, and based on the new video 343 posted and the pug audio recording we can say the flood might also be in infinite. But what about the prometheans? No toy, audio recording, or gameplay trailer suggests them at all. Now 343 are still focused on the created conflict because of the february recording of dr halsey and master chief talking about cortana. But I fear no prometheans will be in infinite just like with the playable elites, please 343, give us some news on prometheans.

Flood didn’t appear in commercials or toys besides HW2. Where Cortana goes the Created follows, and as we heard her voice in the 2018 trailer the Prometheans will be there.

Precisely. The fact we’re not hearing about them is probably to try and maintain a surprise arrival

Good. The promethean literally disrupted the combat flow of Halo
Like a lot of things right now, the Prometheans fit squarely into that zone of ‘We don’t know yet’. They might be making an appearance, they might not.
Speculation though, in the audio blog 343 released today some devs referred to multiple factions. Whether they just mean Banished / UNSC or something more is unknown, but they do need to expand the whole Created thing somehow.

I hope this is true, I honestly hate it when too much gets spoiled just by being revealed before launch in an announcement. The floods reveal in CE was fantastic and had I seen it coming it wouldn’t have been nearly as good. Whoever the primary antagonists are, I kind of hope they keep it secret until after we all have a chance to play the game.
And the day just became brighter.
I hope that if they return, they are more fun to fight, more enjoyable and more satisfying to kill than in Halo 4 (the halo I am playing this days)
I hope Watchers stop running away so annoyingly and get way less health. They are the single least enjoyable enemies in the series imho. When I find an area with several of them I feel like quitting the game and playing something else.
Crawlers are fun to fight on a flat terrain where you can line your sight to their head height, or when they jump and you have time to fin their head. But when they are crawling on surfaces or running around uneven terrain they are not great.
Ah and for the weapons, I really hope they change their sounds and effects. They feel very, very weak.
I wouldnt be upset if the Prometheans didnt make it into the game. They weren’t enjoyable enemies to fight.

Neither were the Brutes. Bullet sponges in 2 and discount Elites in 3/ODST. Least the Prometheans have mechanics that change things up.

I guess we’ll see how they do in infinite. I really thought the aesthetic and dynamics of the brutes in ODST were beautiful though.

I wouldn’t be so sure about the flood. I’m really hoping to see them, but the sounds from the pug are the main sounds for the grunts, not the flood. You’re right that there hasn’t been any promotion for them, but it could be that 343 has changed their role and wants us to see for ourselves before they judge it. I also wouldn’t be surprised if major factions like the flood and the prometheans are still being tweaked for their reveal (maybe in July, or november lol.)

Can’t say the dynamics really seemed all that different compared to 3. They had shields now, which again kinda just made them discount Elites.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Prometheans don’t show up in gameplay due to their poor reception in Halo 4 and 5, but I do think they will appear in the story, either in cutscenes, audio logs, terminals, or something else. If they do show up in gameplay though, 343 needs to overhaul Promethean combat to make them as fun to fight as the Covenant or Banished.
I thought a few of the sounds in the audio sample sounded a lot like Prometheans.
I hope Promtheans are in the game, they havent finished their story arc.
I’d like to see a culmination of all things halo, distilled down into the essence of raw fun. UNSC, Banished, Flood, Prometheans are all factions id love to see make an appearance and those we can reasonably assume might be in the game. Other than that, other factions like the Covenant/Remnant, Insurgents, Heretics would be cool to see at least armor/vehicle skins alluding to these valuable parts of Halo history.
why would they reveal everything b4 hand?
Reason halo CE was so good is because of the flood reveal for first time through the campaign. Primordial could be in the game seeing we’re on the infamous halo 07 but seeing this is a live service game. Id imagine any incoming new threat including the flood probably wont be until right at the end of the game or in the legendary ending. I suspect 343i want there own version of that halo CE reveal and so i doubt there going to just tell us b4 the game comes out lol

i don’t think there be in the game at all. They were kinda tied to the didact storyline. Plus the banished is enough. Id imagine the so called Cortana will be using the banished as her army. Either way i would actualy much rather see new flood forms, and new sentinel designs. Halo 2 tried with some interesting sentinels they could bring back.
I just want to see the Primordial / Timeless one and flood again.

The Primordial ain’t likely to be in the game as you imagine since he got aged to dust in Primordium. However, you hear them when you encounter the Gravemind, so we’d need the Gravemind. Saving the Prometheans as a plot twist I don’t think would work given they aren’t brand new like the Flood was. They exist, Cortana uses them, so there isn’t anything to surprise people with.
