Anyone else think it would be cool to have a level in the Campaign where you play as your OWN Spartan? I’m not talking about getting rid of the basic storyline. Master Chief needs to be the main character for sure. I just think it would be fun to play at least one Campaign mission as myself, with my own armor (color and all), where you play alongside Master Chief as an AI. Would love to hear some thoughts on this
You mean like halo reach/Spartan Ops? Either way I’d prefer the main campaign to be chief (until he dies obviously.) A spin off game can have a customizable character in the campaign.
Not for Infinite, but the spin off games would be a great idea
Infinite need to be just master chief and focusing on the characters that was introduced in 5 not the best set up but it’s what we got. Now a spin off halo can have your own character that’ll be fine.
It would be better to just make a separate spinoff game with Crimson rather including it in Infinite.

Yeah kinda like Reach’s Spartan Op’s but more specifically designed that you play as yourself in a mission where Cheif calls the shots and you are one of the Spartan in the company rendering support. (Or something like that) A spin off is something I had not considered. Not necessarily a game though… Infinite could do something similar to Spartan Ops with a few adjustments. Same mission/campaign concept but more focused on “you” fighting alongside Chief in a type of featured playlist more closely related to Warzone Assault.
Everyone here (or most everyone here) acting like OP was talking about your own Spartan hijacking the story. The story would still be centered around the Legendary 117, they’re not saying the story would shift to your Spartan. What they’re asking is if there was ONE mission you play as your Spartan, the one YOU customize, but the story still be around Chief. Just a perspective shift for ONE mission but the story is still focused on Chief.
Edit: Personally I wouldn’t mind, so long as it’s still all about Chief. The story can still be centered around someone but be from anothers’ perspective.
I’d be good with a Spartan Ops type game mode (if they had an interesting story) but I don’t think it should be in the main campaign. After Halo 5, I think there’s enough they need to worry without throwing in things like that, at least in my opinion.
I wouldn’t mind at all. One level is fine. I’d made a similar thread suggesting a cameo in a cutscene or something but this would be more rewarding. Another user suggested having a skull that switched Chief with your Spartan. But that would mean it would not be canon like your suggestion though.

Thank you for defending and clarifying what I thought was OBVIOUS from my choice of words in the post… YES this would absolutely still be a Chief centered campaign mission. But… As much as I love playing AS Chief I would really like to play my own character wirking ALONGSIDE Chief. To be in a mission where Chief is an A.I. but still the team leader and no less B.A. than when I have the controls. I just think it would be cool to watch him go head first into the firefight or hold back and supply sniper cover as you move forward to take the objective

Yeah… The skull idea is pretty cool but I dont think I’d be a fan of it myself… After reading your response I had a thought… What if 343 made this a bonus mission (like in Reach). But the mission was ONLY unlocked IF you pass the entire game on Legendary difficulty. And similar to the final boss in Link: Legends of Zelda on NES (yes I know I just went old school) Master Chief’s A.I. would react to each encounter in a similarly fashion based on how YOU did throughout the primary campaign

Yeah for sure. That sounds like a cool reward for those who always beat campaigns on Legendary and an incentive for those who don’t to give it a shot.
Makes sense to me. Chief often works with teams of marines/spartans, so why not have yours be one of them? Would be cool
After completing the campaign (on a particular difficulty) you unlock the ability to play as your multiplayer Spartan. That would be sweet. And have unlockable player voices too, like in Halo: Reach Firefight. Play the campaign as Nathan Fillion ;p
No infinite’s campaign might just be master chief and that’s it although if they make firefight or spartan ops again you’ll play as your own spartan. But if they make a reach 2 or something like it than you should be able to play as your own spartan in the campaign.
I’d like it if it was a joke.
Like, say, your Spartan as it is currently outfitted in the armory, shows up to help in one mission and dies a completely inept inconsequential death in a brief cutscene after providing no real assistance at all…
And back to the mission.
I think this is an interesting idea and it would be cool to include your own customizable spartan alongside chief and having him interact with you and all that.
Honestly I think it would be cool if players 2/3/4 could play as their own spartan/elite whereas player 1 was Chief

Spartan: reporting for duty, Master Chief sir! instantly crushed by a Pelican that got shot down
MasterChief: welp…back to whatever relevant thing I was doing…
I dunno, maybe you’re right; I’d laugh pretty hard if that’s how my character was introduced to the Master Chief.
An idea occurred to me.
- 343i said the “focus” would be back on Chief.
- Infinite also has “Reach customization”.
What if we don’t play as Chief at all? What if we play as our own customized Spartan IVs under Chiefs command, with Chief being A.I. controlled? He’s leader of our Spartan Fireteam, leading the way, and giving us orders, so we are “focused” on him! O_O
