No stress on 343, but let's talk about cool ideas

Games Halo Infinite
1

I’ve been thinking about Infinite a lot lately (not much difference there then eh?) and with all the crazy theories I have (really I have so many) I thought why not talk about those AND MORE!!! with a forum post directly on their website so they can see it, and see what their fans are thinking about.

I’ll go first.

Random flood horde encounters at night time. I think that would completely change up the atmosphere of the game, as well as possibly aiding or hindering in combat scenarios, giving the player a new challenge.
Hopefully we will also see a return of night vision, this would be an incredible return.

There was talk about a vehicle getting some love, a vehicle that’s always been in Halo.
I actually think this is gonna be the pelican, mainly for getting around the ring, but maybe they will be used in this “BTB 2.0”.

Imagine if you or another player could pilot a pelican, with all the seats being taken up by your teammates, maybe a few fly around and the other players can hop into the back. Maybe I’m wrong, but hasn’t the fan base always wanted flyable pelicans? Makes sense.

Different player race customisation would be incredible, with 343 catering to the players that take part in clans, and therefor make up a decent majority of the playerbase, it makes sense to give them the different options for Marines, Spartans, Elites and Brutes, all being balanced in some way akin to how Halo reach balanced spartans and elites with shields and health.

How far could we fly directly to the opposite end of the ring? Say we’re in a vehicle designed for spaceflight (pelicans) could we fly towards the other end of the ring, going all the way through space to get to it?

DLC single player story continuation I think will be a thing.

Reach’s techsuit.

There’s too much to really go on, but please remember this is just speculation only and in no way confirms or denies anything to come in the final product.

I also think the flights for infinite will be sometime near the end of August and withing the first 2 weeks of September. I could be wrong, if so then I’m not too bothered, as long as I get to play the flight.

What do you guys think?

"Different player race customisation would be incredible, with 343 catering to the players that take part in clans, and therefor make up a decent majority of the playerbase, it makes sense to give them the different options for Marines, Spartans, Elites and Brutes, all being balanced in some way akin to how Halo reach balanced spartans and elites with shields and health." uhhhhh…Reach didn’t give Elites or Spartans diff HP and shield values as far as I’m aware and why would you want to bring that stuff into an arena shooter?

Drivable Pelicans are a good idea. Since the game is going to be (generally) an open world, it opens up a lot of areas for new vehicles

Check it then come back bro.
Spartans have more health but longer shield recharge time and elites have less health but faster regeneration for shields and maybe health, but there are a few differences.

Nah the elites just have a faster Health Regen to balance out due to them being larger and easier to shoot

ME WANT BECOME MONKE

REJECT HUMANITY

Random Flood encounters during the night would be a good idea. It could take place during the wintery storm just like in Two Betrayals of Halo CE. I would definitely expect to occasionally encounter the Flood Juggernaut and Tank Forms. The Flood Abomination could perhaps be a boss fight.

Yeah, something that really makes you say “aw shoot!”

Better yet, have spec ops Banished out at night. Imagine just chilling and some Bloodstars/Skimisher Commandoes/Jackal Snipers show up, with their eye glowing in the night.

10

I still want to see the Flood coming back in the upcoming Halo Infinite. It will be great to see a side mission where Master Chief and the UNSC Marines are fighting the Flood.

That, with flood hordes.

12

We need to have bots finally in forge and be able to control their difficulty setting.

13

The return of the flood is essential !

14

I would think night vision could be an upgrade since there is an upgrade menu

yea that and they don’t need “health packs” (i so hate those). But it makes sense and no sense at the same time. I hope we never see that ever again.

Can we please not make elites different from Spartans! I want to play as elites in normal multiplayer and not be to tall to fix through most custom maze maps.

Besides invasion was and is an unbalanced mess and I don’t want to see it ever return. If you want invasion make it Spartans and elites vs brutes. And maybe other banished races

and great for the possible btb 2.0

18

maybe once you get into a forerunner facility you accidentally unlock flood, but they are modified to hate sunlight? then you could fight banished in the day and flood in the night. It would be either a late game thing or mid game so you can get experience of fighting to kill some flood

I think any flood reveal should have an intense horror vibe to it, it shouldn’t just happen automatically, but only after reaching a certain point would flood reveal themselves in hordes during the night (they would still reveal themselves during the day, but would be in higher numbers during the night) I would still want to see banished and broken covenant day and night, but in a way that feels balanced.

Would also love to see the return of visr for night time

Or just night vision in general

They also have full regenerating health, while spartans need healthpacks.
