If you could add any DLC to Halo: Infinite whether it be Day One content or further into the games life, what would it be?
Personally, I would create Forge DLC called “Legacy”. In it would be all sorts of vehicles, weapons, and equipment from the previous Halo games such as the Spectre, Shadow, Elephant, Hornet, Falcon, the MA5B AR, Bubble Shield, Grav-Lift, Radar Jammer, Jetpack, Evade, etc.
If Infinite is meant to be a platform, I wouldn’t mind seeing short stories/campaigns added that focus on other characters. This would be the best way to tackle other player characters rather then trying to put the focus on a different character like with Halo 5’s campaign.
A fun one that I thought would be neat if we get Spartans and Elites to play as. It’d be interesting to see the Brutes playable as well considering the Banished is Halo’s current antagonist and the Brutes are in charge. Their also on the same playing field as Spartans and Elites. Other races like the Jackals and Grunts wouldn’t really fit in this mix because they’d have to function completely different. Brutes should be able to function the same though. Just a neat idea to add down the road though if 343 needs something new to add to the game.
I would like dlc that would open a little part of the map with side missions in it and Maybe it doesn’t got to open up a little part of the map and it could just add side missons ( around 4 or 5 above depending on how much it cost). Edit: I also agree with FakeRussians idea!
A Headhunter short story where we have to execute a HVT (maybe a Silent Shadow Leader) on the ring, but the mission takes a turn for the worst after they kill the target and they have to fall back whilst being hunted by the Silent Shadow and other Banished Forces. If they gave us anything Headhunter related, I’d be happy, but if they were Spartan-III Headhunters it’d really make my day (as I’m just a big Spartan-III fan).
BloodPack DLC, It would be nice to see combat evolved level of blood spatter on the games environment and I don’t believe a bloodpack DLC would require much resources anyways.
A Spirit of Fire DLC. A short campaign where you play as Red team during the time between Wars 2 and Infinite. This would be great as 343 could throw all sorts of old vehicles and even skins into the game. Plus if Forge let’s you choose skyboxes like in 5, then we could get one on the Ark.
Another is an Anniversary DLC that features skins and such from each games anniversary, starting with CE. Even have old maps return with it too. This works great if Infinite is meant to last 10 years since you can throw every single Halo into this.
One more would be cross-over packs, it would probably be just skins and armour variants (think hyabusa from 3, its a great example since it was from a cross-over), but image if we got forge objects/options from it too. Or unique maps for matchmaking.
My one worty is that there will be no free content to go with, of course any free stuff would be stuff that would course people disadvantaged if not free (customisation not included). So maps, vehicles, and forge objects.
I think a side story involving Locke as the protagonist would be awesome! He can have a modified variant of his GEN 2 Hunter suit that allows him to use active camouflage at the cost of shield regeneration. This could be a cool mechanic to force the player to slow down, and play strategically. Or have a mod that boosts his movement and sprint speed to the level we saw in the Spartan Locke Armor trailer.
In a way, you could tailor your armor to fit your play style, and still have it be engaging for several play throughs. This way he’s not, yet another new character in the franchise, but it could continue his story arc and further develop him as a character, and as a badass!
