Does Any one think Brutes, Buggers, Engineers, Flood, Scarabs or Skirmishers will make a Return in Halo 5?
A lot of people are pushing for the flood to return
I want the flood to come back!
Definitely Brutes.
The Didacts Hand needs some extra muscle if they’re going toe-to-toe with us! Hoorah! UNSC!
I’d like to see Brutes, Flood and Skirmishers!
And of course Scarabs battles would be awesome
I think we will be heavily focused on Forerunner but it seems like the Flood may return to test humanity in their pursuit of the Mantle.
I want every enemy and faction in halo 5.

Even… cups hand over mouth human Insurrectionists?
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if any of those made a comeback. Many are predicting the flood will at least make an appearance, but it would be great to see the Brutes again.

Yeah! this seems like the game that could actually have that! maybe not insurrectionists but master chief fighting other Spartans and soldiers.
Honestly all of those you mentioned are probably going to come back into the game at some point.
The more enemies the better. One of Halo’s finest traits is enemy variety. Cod always looks super flashy in the gameplay reveals, then after killing a bunch of soldiers with so-so AI, it’s not too fun. Halo allows you to mix it up. I especially enjoyed Halo 3 how one strategy for Legendary is to take out the brutes right away, so the grunts get scared.
I myself would love to see the forerunners infected by the flood if possible.

Brutes are low on population…

Uh, sounds like every other Halo game I’ve played? What? You mean those other solders aren’t my enemy? Oh, maybe that’s why they don’t start trying to murder me until I kill a few of them.
To be serious, yes, I want most of the races to make a comeback in some fashion. The UNSC actually has Engineers now, so we could definitely see them in cutscenes, though I don’t think they make for very engaging enemies (after ODST, you feel real bad killing them). Yan’mee (buggers) are kind of a question. We don’t really know what’s happened to them or whose side they’re on, but it seems they just want to be left alone, as they don’t seem to play a big part to the UNSC or Storm Covenant. Maybe we disturb a hive or something. Brutes are definitely not part of this covenant, as they don’t tend to get along well with elites in general, and they’re definitely less common following their -Yoink- whupping in the civil war, so I don’t see them as a major enemy, more as a cutscene conversation.
Scarabs, however, are a must. Lek’galo (hunters) are definitely part of the new covenant and, being instrumental parts to scarabs, would quite easily fit with lore. Moreover, nothing in lore suggests that the scarab manufacturing facilities (assuming they weren’t on High Charity or in Brute controlled territory) were destroyed. Skirmishers are also possible, as they’re just another breed of Kig Yar (jackals), which are in the current covenant. And the fact that jackals have always been mercenary types allows them to fit in seamlessly. And the Flood are almost definitely going to make a return. They’re way to virulent and intelligent to have been wiped out so easily. At the very least, they probably exist other forerunner installations.
Additionally, I want more races to be shown. I mean, Halo Nightfall/Escalations introduces a whole friggin new race that we’ve never seen before “Yon’het”, that are a somewhat isolationist old covenant race with a streak of merchantilism and mercenary work. I’d like to see us dealing with some of them as mercenaries. Maybe handle them alongside of covie forces or stop them from supplying Innies (who I’d also like to see, as I’m sure there are some rather despicable terrorists out there that, regardless of your stance on ONI/insurrectionists, deserve a good -Yoink- whipping). Additionally, I want to kill some more prophets. I know the San Shy’um are near extinct, but -Yoink- them. They were jerks back in the Human Forerunner war and they’re bigger jerks now, so maybe some minor prophet trying to start something gets a little to close to the exploding end of a scorpion barrel. Finally, I want to see forerunners. We fought one (kind of sort of beat him, he comes back, Chief stabs him in the eye, he kicks the Chief’s -Yoink- along with Fred, Linda, and Kelly, but then with the help of a monitor they send the didact hurtling on an ejected panel of a halo ring into the atmosphere of a planet to get disintegrated–so he MIGHT be dead, no promises), another one helped us (well, a sort of digital imprint of one that died long ago). I want to meet/fight them again. I think the chief deserves a rerematch. Maybe with slightly better gear so it’s a tad more even (Because the Chief would have totally kicked the didact’s -Yoink- if he had equal armor).
