One thing I loved about Harbinger is her back and forth with the Escharum. I expected the Harbinger to be like the Didact or Atriox or Truth where they're just completely lording over everyone else, but it was fantastic to see that Escharum and Harbinger were almost equals, where they berate each other for the other's failings. It felt extremely natural.

The Harbinger says that the "primitive Banished" and her kind are both victims of the Forerunners, so she does feel sympathy for them. not only that, but Atriox literally releases the Endless in the Legendary Ending. Everything Atriox does it to help the Banished, so this means that without a shadow of a doubt, the Endless have something to contribute to the Banished.

Been heavily looking forward to this review, now that the spoiler shackles are off! Edit: Now that I've finished watching the video, wanted to share a few thoughts of my own. :P Definitely agree with most of it! Absolutely LOVED this campaign. Was honestly astonished at how well Halo Infinite treated 5’s story with respect while also not being really tied down by it. Similarly think that Infinite "earning its cliffhanger" like you said was well deserved. Leaves me super excited for the future, while still giving a good conclusion. My interest is especially piqued by the Spartan audio logs, specifically Horvath's ending, since his audio log was dated only a day or two before Chief makes it on to the ring. If there's one gripe I kinda have, it's with how the Infinity was handled. I really feel like the raid on the Infinity should've been a playable segment, rather than just seeing a snippet of it at the start and through audio logs. I feel like it would've had so much more impact if we got to have that sense of player urgency at the beginning of the campaign having experienced the Infinity's boarding and destruction firsthand. The Infinity was humanity's flagship and a symbol of human achievement post-Covenant war and also had 2 games of history at this point and I think it's a bit jarring to have it just, go boom without really getting to experience it. Similarly was bummed out about there not being really any kind of reward or secret for doing all the side content, like you said.

I really loved how they showed us what happened between Cortana and Atriox. I was worried they wouldn't show us what happened to Cortana, but tell us through exposition instead. I know there was some exposition, but the fact that we saw exactly what happened was great! I'm also glad that Atriox is alive. I never thought he was dead because killing him off screen would be a repeat of the Didact, and 343 would've gotten a lot of backlash if they did that. The Harbinger boss battle lacked a bit for me. It was a cool boss battle as far as gameplay, but I felt like the fight had no purpose because we know next to nothing about the Harbinger/Endless. I understand the place where the boss battle took place was significant, but that's the thing. I should care about more than just the "place where Cortana died". The only thing I don't quite understand about Cortana's decision to help Chief is this: Why does her judgement and decision change when she learns Chief is dead? But in Halo 5, she was going to put him in a cryptum and never let him out while she committed mass genocide? I mean, you could say "well she would know he's being kept safe in the cryptum", but Chief might as well be dead if she's going to stick him in the there. I don't mind that she turned face, but that part didn't make sense. I cried multiple times during the campaign though. The callbacks and everything with Cortana and Chief got me.

One thing that I couldn't figure out, why did the banished think Atriox dead? What happened that made them believe that Atriox is gone. And also, Why does he not make contact with escharum? He's banished, he's proven again and again his loyalties are to the banished and the banished alone. So what made him abandon them? Especially when he (must have) heard that 117's still alive, and just kicked Escharum. Anyone can explain? Also, Would LOVE a DLC where you play as an OP Atriox between being thought dead and the Final cutscene. Also might enjoy Arbiter making an entry.
@jakespacepiratee3740
@jakespacepiratee3740 2 года назад
The interactions between Cortana and Atriox were certainly cool, but also pretty contrived. How did Atriox reach her without the Warden Eternal flipping his top and sending a billion bodies to protect her? I doubt she would object to that. "The Weapon had her locked down" doesnt feel like a good-enough justification for me. I find it very hard to believe that the Banished could render "Cortana's Empire over" like how Atriox claims when the Spirit of Fire could trick weak sentinels into cutting his ship in half...its possible he is bluffing and the Created are still out there, as Atriox also claimed that he had crushed Master Chief's skull, and that never happened.

What bothers me about the Endless is that they're set up to be a bigger threat than a parasite that can literally consume entire galaxies, and we're never given an explanation or see what they're capable of. And the fact that there are artifacts older than the forerunners themselves on the ring.

@sergioacevedo2254 2 года назад
​@@DiegoAzMu The Halo's focus was never to kill flood, but its food, so that in the case of a full Halo array firing, these Endless would be the only sustainable source of food left for the flood,. So, these guys have the potential to allow the flood bypass the effects of the Halos, still ultimately making the flood still the biggest threat, right? The only situation where I can imagine them being more dangerous than the flood is if they wanted to wipe out the galaxy of everyone but themselves, so they manually fire each Halo, killing everyone but themselves. But the thing is that humans could do the same thing through the Ark anyways. So they'd both be potentially dangerous. Also knowing the Forerunners, why not just kill them all the old fashioned way, or since they're organic matter, they can be composed, right? It's shown in the last level that they can be killed, so why take this risk if eternal imprisonment for an entire species is the only alternative? The flood facilities were established to continue studying the flood since it was known that they could also still come from other galaxies, but these guys had a small enough presence to be undocumented by the Forerunners in their home galaxy. I'm also curious about how if their existance was such a secret that even their host installation's monitor had no idea about, how did the Banished find out about them?

Good moments for sure, but overall I felt it was much less memorable than the other campaigns. Every single interior looked almost exactly the same. Silver and blue forerunner hallways. Where were the set pieces? The spectacle? Every other campaign(yes even 4&5) have moments that I felt were incredibly memorable and that will stay in my mind forever. But this campaign? Not as much so. I liked it a lot. But I guess that’s kinda what you lose going semi open world. There’s no driving a warthog off the pillar of autumn, or jumping on top of the scarab, or the forward onto dawn landing on the arc. It just felt like those moments were missing. I’d like to re-emphasize that I liked the campaign a lot. I just found it to be less distinct and memorable than the other ones.

I don’t know, it get it that Halo 5 was atrocious, but they could have at least “tried” to continue that story... And it’s the fucking second time that a 343 villain dies of screen lol I cannot wait to play Halo Endless when the Endless are already dead and we need to find out why...

@@TheRealNobleSixx how is this nitpicking? It was the literal MAIN antagonist of the previous game.

Lol I liked her “redemption” of Cortana... but it happened off-screen! Before the beginning of the game! I would have loved to “live” it in first person, not just listening to some audio “whispers”... I don’t know... I didn’t like how she was treated. I liked her redemption, but not how it happened.

I feel like the Valour system was a missed opportunity for some missions. The Road springs to mind in particular. Enter the mission with less than x valour means there would be less marines present. Go into it with over x valour more marines helping with the assault.
@FelisImpurrator
@FelisImpurrator 2 года назад
I feel like The Road was poorly designed, as huge, classic storm-the-castle vehicle segments go. But most of that is due to the poor vehicle design. The marine AI struggles with some vehicles like tanks, apparently? It doesn't consistently register the existence of the tank turret. And more importantly, 343 stripped out all the side passenger seats on the Scorpion, and provided only Rocket Hogs instead of a Razorback. So it renders the fact that you can get a whole squad of Marines pointless, because you're literally not allowed to use them the way the devs specifically designed them to be fun to use - as a full squad onboard a vehicle, packing heavy ordnance. Given the squad's worth of marines and the conspicuous free vehicles, it's as if they WANTED you to be able to roll through the mission on a tank loaded with buddies, but didn't have the dev time to make sure that part actually worked. If they somehow added back the seats on the Scorpion and replaced one of the Hogs it would be a great stage.

29:15 dude, that's exactly what I was thinking! Now, Imagine if you spawned with marines at the very start of the level, and the number of marines depended on how many marine squads you saved during the open world? If you didn't save a single marine squad, you get nothing; but if you saved, say, 10 marine squads you get to fight alongside 10 fully equiped marines! Obviously you couldn't add every single marine that was rescued since you'd have an army with you by just saving 5 marine squads, but instead It would be cool to have 1 marine representing their own squad accompanying you throughout the last level, It'd be a nice touch, and would validate the open world aspect more even after it's done

I was expecting some pine forests and some plains. The campaign could have been longer and had a larger portion of Zeta Halo to explore, with it being more like Halo 2's campaign that felt like an adventure and less like Halo 3's short campaign that felt like a handful of short battles. Marines need some changes so they are good at killing when using the battle rifle, assault rifle, and commando. Last but not least, it would have been great to see the UH-144 Falcon in a Halo game again. EDIT: The weapon variants definitely need some new stuff done to them. The Breacher battle rifle, which has a lower zoom level when aiming with the scope, could have a holographic sight or a different scope on it. The 10-round sniper rifle variant could have a longer magazine and the bulldog variant could have a slightly longer barrel and a bigger drum magazine.

I donno, I found the story a little lacking. Perhaps a better explanation is it feels like a ton of the story was cut out in the redesigns and it feels a little hollow and full of telling rather than showing. Don't get me wrong the gameplay is great and what is there for the story is pretty good, especially the moments between chief and the weapon was fantastic. Reminds me a lot of the moments in Bioshock Infinite with Elizabeth being the highlights of that game. I donno I guess after 6 years of development I expected a little more. The Endless are just told to us as being bad but there is absolutely nothing to support that, the Harbinger was boring with no proper build up or pay off. She has no relation to chief, no connection. Her boss fight doesn't even make sense considering she's show to be able to pretty much body chief in their first encounter but does basically nothing in the fight. It genuinely feels like 343 has built an enemy that's "more dangerous" than the flood but even they don't know how yet, because I mean realistically what could be more dangerous than a plauge that can consume the entire galaxy and gains the intelligence of everything it assimilates and required the wiping of all life in the entire galaxy to defeat? Where is Lasky? Or any other human characters. I get it's toned back and focuses on Echo, chief and The Weapon, which I really respect, but even Echo has barely any screen time and his development feels extremely short and forced. Too much of the story relies on the audio logs which can be hard to hear over gameplay as well. It's just I donno, didn't feel as impactful as I was hoping. That being said it is a huge step in the right direction and does feel like 343 finally "gets" it

My personal criticisms: No banished vehicles or soldier aesthetics from Halo Wars 2, instead copies Covenant with reskins. No Created despite them apparently being super powerful and threatening, the parts were you fight nothing but Sentinels in the game especially stand-out. No major reveal with the Endless, Harbinger is basically a walking DLC teaser. Story leaves me more excited for the following installment than it does satisfy me with what we got, similar to Halo 5... The 'reveal' that the Weapon is a Cortana clone is painfully drawn out and extremely obvious. No flood. No Arbiter. No UNSC Infinity crash site. Banished suddenly all hate Humanity as a species, with hints that even Atriox does. No, blown up planet doesnt justify this.

My two cents on the campaign grenade/equipment swapping: Add a selection in the Settings where you just cycled through your gear by tapping a button like in Halo 3 . Yes, you can use Infinite's button combos faster - each piece of gear only needs two button presses to equip, whereas in 3 you had to press the button 4 times to pull up an Incineration grenade - but Infinite's system has more room for user error. I died so many times because a finger slipped up and selected the Threat Sensor instead of my Drop Wall or Thruster Pack XD It was easier for me in 3 to remember a number of single-button taps than to recall a specific 1-2 combo in Infinite. That's all. In other news, love the videos, and keep voicing your opinions! Pretty much everything you wanna see in the future I wanna see too XD

Most of that was definitely answered in either audio logs or the cutscenes themselves. Atriox didn't defeat cortana, the weapon was used to lure her on zeta halo and locked her down, then the infinity came down and chief was meant to bring cortana back for deletion, but then atriox attacked and took advantage of the situation. there's a downed guardian in the distance which means her connection to everything was severed. cortana blew up the ring, killing herself and atriox was in that explosion too, hence why he was thought to be dead, he then went to release the endless. I have a feeling you didn't actually play the game and paid attention to the story, because that's answered completely. the smaller characters you mentioned are just small parts and do not matter right now, they will definitely appear in future content.

Completely random idea but I would love it if somehow now that the infinity is destroyed the spirit of fire became sort of the de facto flagship for the UNSC cause I freaking love halo wars 1 and 2 the whole story of the spirit of fire and everything the crew went through and I think their ship is probably the most significant still remaining not necessarily the biggest or most powerful but just more significant in terms of story and I would honestly love if they somehow found their way to zeta halo, chief meets red team the weapon meets Isabel even captain cutter meeting Lasky and just a bunch of other awesome shit happens that would be dope in my opinion

I loved how personal and human the story felt. My absolute favorite scene was when Esparza had a mental breakdown and told Chief the truth about everything. Chief is always such a stoic badass, and at first he just stands there silently and watches Esparza vent. I halfway expected him to just tell Esparza to man up, but instead he kneels down next to him and comforts him. It was such a beautiful scene.

One thing I really really loved, was that The Weapon was pissed that Chief was gonna delete her. But once she understood what Cortana did and why Chief didn't trust her, she understood why Chief was gonna do it, and ultimately tried to delete herself, only to be stopped by Chief himself and tell her, he'll trust her and protect her. He's not a machine, not anymore

Overall, love the Campaign and was truly blown away by the nostalgia woven into a super interesting narrative. Still love just exploring Zeta looking for clues and references. Downsides: - No new vehicles (unless you count the razorback) - Marines unable to drive and hop in a ghost to help you out like in Halo 3 - The story told by audio logs would have made fantastic little cutscenes/teasers to unlock once completing the sets - The obvious plot holes, what happened to Locke, what happened to Arby, why didn’t we see Chief and Halsey interact again etc… - No reward for 100% completion, likely the biggest disappoint. A flyable Pelican unlocked at the end would have been just epic! Imagine stopping in and picking up a squad of marines and destroying the rest of the banished forces.

Cortana didn't lose to atriox she got trapped by the Weapon. The Weapon pretended to be the installations security and then trapped Cortana isolating her from her guardians and thus her power. Chief was supposed to then go to Cortana and delete her. However, atriox yeeted him out the window and then went to Cortana (who now is isolated by the Weapon, this powerless) and caught her by surprise (you can see that she was expecting chief instead of atriox)

This is my 2nd favorite campaign after Reach. I LOVED the story, the dialogue between the trio, the new AI companion, the fact that it's open world and doesn't feel like a hallway, ect.. The grapplehook was AMAZINGLY fun to use. But I felt that all of the missions were the same. There was never a change of scenery. Halo CE also took place on the ring only, but at least they had some snow levels to change things up. Infinite felt like every single mission was on Forge World. Reach will remain my favorite because of the team dynamic of the Nobel squad.

I love the balance with the characters of Cheif and the Pilot, whenever I heard the pilot spoke, i felt like i have motive to protect him, i saw the fear he had and once he was captured I had full on beast mode into slaying the banished. It reminded me of fighting spark after he killed Johnson. The story and the maps brings back themes and values from the previous games.

That said the story that is there is really fascinating and I'm really hoping for some single player story DLC so we don't have to wait 10 years for more. Edit: Also the infinity plot line is weird to me. I don't believe the Banished could just destroy humanity's greatest ship in minutes like it's nothing. The Infinity was one of the only good parts of Halo 5.

Also swapping to thrust while in the air from a grapple swing, then thrusting and swapping back to grapple to catch on to the next tree, is awesome.

Character development is great between the 3 protagonists and gameplay wise ive been enjoying it a lot especially with the dialog given by the banished when fighting them 😂

What's keeping me from getting this campaign is the fact that it's $60 and the multiplayer is so heavily monetized. Why do they need full price for a single player campaign that doesn't even have co-op when they are making so much money off of whales in the multiplayer? It sucks because it looks amazing and I really want to play it but in it's current state I can't support any of what Infinite is doing. We don't even get any rewards for beating the campaign. No nameplates. No cool armor. I can buy 6 great halo games for $40 with full fledged multiplayer, customs, tons of customizations and actual rewards for beating the campaigns. MCC should have been the standard. They worked so hard to make that collection as amazing as it is and they just tossed it out the window with Infinite. I don't want to wait years for the game to be finished. It should have been finished right out the door. I really hope the DLC for the campaign is either free or insanely cheap because I can't pay for any of this when it makes me feel so guilty even thinking about it.

Just finished watching, I agree with all your points. Overall I think this game is a masterpiece and most of my complaints are things that I think they’ll address with campaign dlc, mainly expanding the weapon/vehicle sandbox and adding more biomes and enemy factions. I miss weapons like the fuel rod gun, saw, and brute shot, and vehicles like the gauss hog and specter/prowler. Hopefully with campaign dlc we get to travel to a desert, jungle, or snowy part of the ring with different enemies like the endless, the flood, or even a reworked version of the promethians. Also yeah, they missed a huge opportunity not making a hvt scarab, or one of the banished outposts being a scarab assembly site where you fight one as a boss. Hopefully that comes with campaign dlc too

Some missions were also so short I hadn't realized I'd already progressed a full mission or two ahead, and wasn't on the same one anymore.
