Since Halo 3, if we beat the game on certain difficulties we get something.
Halo 3 gave us -
- EVA for beating the game on Heroic
- EOD for beating the game on Legendary
Halo 3 ODST gave us -
- Buck, Mickey, Dutch, and Romeo for beating certain missions on Normal or Harder.
- Dare’s Armor for beating the game on Legendary
Halo 4 gave us -
- Mark VI Gen-2 for beating missions on Legendary.
But since Halo 5, we have gotten jack squat for beating the game on Legendary. And I expected Halo Infinite to be different.
Especially given the fact that the book cover art for Halo Shadows of Reach shows off Blue Team wearing the armor and each having some personalizations.
- Kelly was wearing Hermes Gen-3 helmet
- Linda was wearing what is presumed to be Argus Gen-3 and has her own unique shoulder armor.
- Frederic is seen wearing what is NOT Centurion Gen-3 but rather Cohort Gen-3 as a helmet.
Granted, you could argue that the art doesn’t represent final fact. BUT the fact that the artist got their work approved and they designed new helmets and shoulders ON TOP OF making a distinction between Frederic getting a whole new helmet while the rest of the team gets a Gen-3 upgrade to their previous models; it does make one hopeful.
Honestly?
I am just a little disappointed that for beating the game on Legendary, all we get is a unique pose for our Spartan ID and nothing more.
