Story Expansions

Games Halo Infinite

I don’t know if there is a thread talking about this already, but since Halo Infinite is said to have a 10 year plan what would we get after the main Campaign? The gameplay we got of the campaign so far was showing off the Banished. But we didn’t get to see any of the created or the Prometheans that Cortana has control over. (Except for the solider in the 20 Anniversary art.) Halo Infinite will be the Spiritual reboot of Halo and it seems there will be more than one foe within the campaign just like the older games with Halo CE to Halo 3. And if the flood is not in the main campaign might we see this:

  • Flood focused Expansion (Since there is a lot of lore about Zeta it’d be possible.) - Spirit of Fire focused Expansion (The UNSC on Zeta discover that the Spirit of Fire is still up and fighting the Banished. They learn this from either taking information from a Banished base or from a transmission. The goal would be to reunite them with the rest of the UNSC using Forerunner portals or gates.) - Swords of Sanghelios focused Expansion (This could focus on how the UNSC needs help fighting both Cortana and the Banished. Requesting the Arbiters help to fight both enemies and doing joint operations to push them back. BUT he doesn’t accept right away because he needs to help his people first. So, as Chief, you fight with him to help his people against the created who are trying to police their world. You get Chief and Arbiter fighting side by side and could also introduce playable elites. Co-op as arbiter and chief like H3.)There are a lot of ideas for story after the main Campaign and I’m curious what 343 will do. What would be a possible story expansion everyone else would like to see?

I would love Swords of Sanghelios. It was my favourite part of Halo 5.

But yes, missions to continue the story of Blue Team, Osiris, the Arbiter, Palmer, Lasky, et al. Would be great. Obviously the big DLC has to be the continuation of the story… but no harm in a couple of smaller side stories to keep things ticking.

And how about some flashback missions. Who wouldn’t love to run around as Sarge for an hour or two.

I wouldn’t be shocked if we get a Locke and Fireteam Osiris DLC. They do exist, still, and I think they deserve a 2nd chance.

I think we will mostly likely see the upcoming Halo Infinite getting a DLC campaign levels especially after the game coming out on Xbox Series X, Xbox One and PC. I still would love to see characters like Arbiter, Jerome-092, Blue Team, Alpha-Nine and Fireteam Osiris getting their own DLC campaign levels in Halo Infinite.

While I love story expansions for Halo, I hope they’re treated just as passionately if not more than Infinite.

DLC stories have a tendency to not be as good as the main game. They may not be as long which is fine. But the narrative quality isn’t as high.

I definitely think there’ll be an expansion that focuses on Arbiter and the Swords of Sanghelios. It’d be a big post-launch hype bringer since people would be excited at the return of playable Elites and Arbiter.

I can imagine a Halo 3 reunion of Chief, Arbiter, N’tho 'Sraom and 'Usze 'Taham. It’d be nice to see them actually play a part in the story and cutscenes lol

I would love for them to start using the lore from the books. Shadow of Reach would be an exceptional story to play.
