How will they screw up the Covenant in Halo Infinite?

nah they're gonna bring them back somehow

It would be Cortanas covenant allies she forced into subservience.

So they ARE coming back....

>the ENTIRE game is just going to be you fighting stupid fucking promethians again

I just realized that and lost all hope, promethians are some of the least captivating enemies I've ever seen in a video game

You'll probably have two covenant factions, The wildcard great journey covenant loyal to nobody who get their shit stomped in by everybody, Then the new Covenant who are loyal to the Created decked out in forerunner tech accompanied with Promethean's.

At the end of Halo 5 evil AI Cortana demands the submission of the various former Covenant species, so they will be the primary threat of the new game again. It's hardly like 343 are even capable of making an interesting new enemy group.

Promethians are a textbook example on how not to do fucking ANYTHING when designing enemies for the player to fight.

Hopefully not, Reach didn't look like Halo.

it would honestly be pretty cool if you teamed up with him, The Banished were the best enemy in the last few halo games

Halo should have been over after 3. Shoot big aliens, shoot little aliens, shoot alien robots. Its fucking trash

I used to hate reach for that reason but the atrocious designs in 4 & 5 make it look way better in comparison

>Boring to fight against
>Nothing new other than the Watcher which is boring
>Horrible weapons but ooh pretty particles for the kiddies
>Feel like trash and unsatisfying to kill
I'd rather play LASO Library for 13 missions than a single Promethean encounter.

How often do you fight him? i'm about a third through HaaH WaaW 2 right now and I think I've thought him like three times so far. Does it get as bad as Warden Eternal?

Covenant
Flood
Sentinels
Prometheans
This is who we'll be fighting in Infinite.

The brutes would be a nice third faction to spice things up, Since most of the former covenant is likely subjugated and seduced by the Created, Outside of the Arbiters new faction the Banished is the only faction i could see retaining their independence.

meant to reply to this fuck

Cortana called literally every intelligent species to join her at the end of Guardians. The covenant is absolutely gone but in Infinite we’re gonna be fighting the species that joined her (so far the grunts are confirmed)

Look dude, they tried to add Reach style to CEA and it looked so bad they redesigned things themselves to fit Halo 1-3 better, with CEA they just took what looked like Halo in Reach and brought it into CEA, Reach Chief didn't look right in CEA along with the Reach AR and Pistol so they redesigned them. They even had to somewhat redesign the Elites.

3 objectively had the best enemy aesthetic and variety

Agreed

>playing the anniversary edition

Oh, I didn't play it but it shows just how much Reach wasn't a Halo game.

>remove elites from the enemy sandbox
>best
you're high, it's obviously 2 or Reach

Like said. 4 and 5 make Reach look like a work of art in comparison.

The game will automatically be shit because it has Prometheans.

>The USA and UK joining up in WW2 is just a shitty way to steer the story have they forgotten the american revolution where the english killed quadrillions americans?

The early 2000's were so simple...

2 adds brutes so late in the game and has trash flood missions.
the covenant vs covenant missions as the arbiter were great tho

I liked everything except for the elites. They looked too dorky, gaylo ce did them best

Yet somehow 343 an make their shitty artwork with Halo art as seen with H2A. Reach just doesn't fit with Halo.

H2A had nothing to do with 343. That was remade by Sabre Interactive, and Certain Affinity did the multiplayer.

Nah fuck off, that shit was hype.

That's because the (((bankers))) who own the JewSA also own the JewK

I stopped after reach. Did they completely scrap the religious aspects of halo? Or does it remain a point.

I heard they revealed the race that build the rings and shit and I feel like that's the dumbest fucking thing you could do. It's infinite space for god sakes, have some mystery and ancient lore.

CE in general had a cool shiny metallic look to everything.

Certain Affinity used Halo 4's art style and H2A's art style came from 343.

The only way they could screw it up would be not retconning 4&5 and having infinite take place after 3.

Literally the only thing that could make this into a 100% no buy.

That said, i do hope they do something with the story to continue where 3 left off, or just say FUCK IT, and do some random story that just does its own thing using the ORIGINAL covinant, non of this brutes or stray factions or random nu halo bulshit baddies thrown in. Give me some CE halo covies and im happy.

The parallels of suicidal religious zealots won't fly in today's political climate. Someone might get offended and that would be the absolute worst.

So. Why the fuck did they make 4 and 5 so fucking atrocious? H2A looks fine, yet they can't replicate the style?

I was under the impression the elites slaughtered the brutes though. I think they even hit their homeworld really hard.

Bring back the flood

There literally hasn't been a Covenant since Halo 3, 343i just keep using the name because they don't think people can handle change.

The Covenant Empire shattered into hundreds of different warlords. Thel 'Vadam, the Arbiter, is one of the only ones trying to build bridges with humanity.

Balaho, the Unggoy homeworld, was left in a state of massive disrepair when the Covenant ended since they stopped getting resources from off-world. It's confirmed that Cortana established contact and now owns the planet since its inhabitants willingly follow her.

I will cum my pants if Atriox shows up in Infinite, or any Halo Wars stuff really.

>The Elites joining up with the UNSC is where Halo died.
>Implying the Shipmaster arriving on Earth with The Shadow of Intent dropping Elites to fight the Flood outbreak wasn't kino

They all speak perfect english

>furfags ruining halo
I just want my cool space shooter to kill otherworldly freaks

Reach had the best Covenant.

Because Kenneth Scott liked his shit too much.

You don't even fight him, only his second in command. In the flood dlc, you do get to fight the soon-to-be Gravemind.

This, it's telling when their favorite Halo campaign is 2.

Think we'll get some actual gameplay of the game before next years E3? I was disappointed that their presentation for it was just story shit and didn't show any gameplay.

Maybe a multiplayer beta. they probably want to save the campaign gameplay for the Scarlett next year at E3.

>tfw unless 343 get their shit together many zoomers will never see CE's true beauty

Refined is doing a damn fine job but I need it all fixed and in crisp 1080p

Shit taste user.

>There literally hasn't been a Covenant since Halo 3, 343i just keep using the name because they don't think people can handle change.
They can't people used to kill their Elites and Grunt allies in Halo 2 all the time, which was funny because Bungie thought it was a great idea to have you fight Elites and Grunts on a team of Elites and Grunts, in Halo 3, Elites didn't get Grunt and Hunter allies because of this confusion.

If there were a Halo Prequel where you can play the entire game as an Elite and it had an actual good story and levels were cool I would play that.

Umm no? We have to keep milking Chief for everything he’s got. He needs to finish the fight for the 3rd time.

Yeah it's so obvious, you're right.

Seething.

The true kino was him glassing Africa when the parasites weren't even there anymore, Shipmaster has humanity's best interests in mind.

This

All I want is for Chief and Arbiter to work together again, fuck Osris (Except Buck, Buck is cool) and fuck Blue Team, Just have Chief meet up with Arbiter and then have them fuck shit up, they can even meet up with Shipmaster and Johnson's ghost along the way.

No gay Elite romance.

He's right.

The Baby Kongs in Halo 3/ODST were a garbage enemy and showed how the Elites set the pace of Halo's singleplayer gameplay and were the glue that held the Covenant arsenal together. Bungie went back to fighting Elites in Reach and 343i in 4 and 5.

Making the Arbiter do a side change was a cool narrative moment but it was a mistake considering Halo is a video game and the Elite enemies are integral to gameplay.

Player 1- Chief
Player 2 -Arbiter
Player 3- Shipmaster
Player 4- ???

This, I enjoyed playing fighting Brutes in Halo 3 but there's a reason Joe isn't writing Halo anymore.

I love Halo 3 but Joe Staten is overrated.

>fuck Blue Team
Hey
Fuck you

Though I agree they have no place in a mainline game, stick em in a spin-off

>people used to kill their Elites and Grunt allies in Halo 2 all the time
They'd probably also shoot their own allies in a real war because they're both humans

Joe Staten only wrote part of H3, not all of it. Staten only wrote CE, 2, ODST and a book or 2 on his own

Joe Staten's writing in Halo 2 led to us not fighting Elites in Halo 3 so he's to blame.

>3 objectively had the best enemy aesthetic and variety

I loved their Halo 3 armor types. The idea that they're trying to look more professional and elite but still having their own cultural theme going on.

Stop using video games as real life, Elites and Grunts deserve death, nothing more. It's funny.

>there's a reason Joe isn't writing Halo anymore
Yeah, they got people far worse

>but there's a reason Joe isn't writing Halo anymore
Then we got Reach and it made me wish Staten was back

Okay, they probably shoot their own allies in CoD because they're both humans

Hey at least they don't have their dick on for Elites but having your dick on for $5 phoned in Spartans
is no better.

That's true, I wished the guy who wrote Halo CE was back and no it wasn't Joe.

Or they just don't like the Covenant as allies.

Who? Eric Nyuland? He only wrote the Halo 1 novels which Joe respected pretty well

They got shit taste then, grunt and hunter allies were bros

Eric Trautmann

They're fun to fight and kill.

Yikes

I loved killing this dude for what he did to the Arbiter. Payback sure felt good.

Oh, the EU/Microsoft Franchising guys. Yeah, good shout.

They're gonna have big unga elites decked out with Forerunner tech and shit while the skinnier classic elites are actually on your side. If we had any sort of consistency, we'd have way more cooperation between the species that betrayed the Covenant and the UNSC. My dick would explode if I saw Elites, Grunts, and Hunters with various human weapons.

MS is so fucking retarded. They had a contract with Platinum, we could've gotten a hack n slash by Platinum with Arbiter as main character. At least that game would be released and had potential to be fun.

It would be 1000x better than the absolute fucking nothing we got from them.
