Now I know we haven’t seen much in the way of the Wildlife thus far (do those in the Slipspace Engines trailer even count?.) but given the fact there’s no hostile wildlife Im beginning to think we won’t see anything BIG and truly alien.
I mean imagine an Avatar like moments of corralling/scaring a group of large Alien animals into storming through a Banished encampment.
use animals feeling in your direction as a sign of disturbance by a Banished patrol.
it’s by no means world ending but it would have been a fun addition I think to be able to include the Wildlife of Zeta Halo as one more character of the world.
If there are predators on the ring, I hope they are neutral unless provoked.
But who knows, maybe we can hunt down a bear and get a nice animal skin Mjolnir?
I’m pretty sure they said there’d be no hostile wildlife.
I believe they suggested there would normal wildlife though, but it is odd we havent seen it outside the original teaser.
No hostile wildlife is fine, I guess, as long as they do have wildlife and it’s not extremely scarce. The trailer from last July opened with some wildlife, so I have hope there will be some nice variety scattered throughout Zeta Halo.

This^
343i have commented on wildlife, I believe it was in one of the #Ask343 videos, the one about Zeta Halo.
There won’t be hostile wildlife, just neutral creatures on the ring. You won’t be actively attacked by animals.
I’m glad that’s the way they’ve done it to be honest, I don’t want to be mid travel and start getting hunted down by some creature. Just becomes a more of a nuisance than actually fun for me.
as i mentioned here https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/29568daf8cd14083bd1b70a810bf3581/topics/halo-infinite---the-good-and-the-bad/2dc460ba-8479-4d88-9f31-035b6d9e2f35/posts?page=2#post21
it’s a missed opportunity so far , because the environment had a lots of potential to be a story teller like characters, so far what they shown is feel static.
by the way wild life and climate disasters by it self could be a great addition to expand the lore.

that would be kinda cool a nice ‘wolf pelt collar’ for my armour. But on that point I really hope 343 have or can put on some truly Alien looking wildlife. So far we have space deer, space rhinos, and space rats?/Armadillo’s.

Yeah I caught that too, to me it’s a shame. Sure I don’t want to be set upon every two mins by a hostile pack of space wolves but why not include animals that can become hostile if provoked?. Animals that can be used to the players advantage or even used against you?. Have the Banished be smart enough that if they spot you they could spook a heard of the space Rhino’s into charging you.

Oh I agree, there’d be nothing worse than trying to sneak up to a Banished base only to be set upon by wildlife. But that doesn’t mean they could implement ‘provokable’ wildlife. That could be used by you or even the AI.

I mean biomes wise I’m kinda disappointed. I mean sure they took inspiration from the Pacific Northwest which is gorgeous and there will be small differences in the biome such as swamps, mountains etc but where is the icy tundra with blind wolves? Desert with space camels?. This is a chance for the teams artists etc to truly shine and include unique wildlife to a diverse and vast ecosystem suited for each type of biome.
fingers crossed with the games almost ‘live service’ take on Events etc we will get to see some differing areas from snow capped peaks to deep underwater Alien environs.

yeah exactly just take a look at these concept arts which perfectly explains everything you and i said.

and yes with live service everything could be update and enhance in a best possible way, and i hope for the best they cut off the support for xbox one version after 2 up to 3 years, because it will prevent them to work on a bigger scale and lush vast areas because of hardware limits and it will end up killing true potential of the game.
