    I think we have seen enough of the Flood for a while. I don't want Halo to end up like Star Wars where they just keep rehashing the same concepts over and over (The Flood and Death Stars)

    The flood have so much potential and they have a central role in halo. Not only that but what i love about the flood is they constantly change. They don't just get rehashed, every game they appear some new twist to them gets added and i can't wait to see what they could do with the flood in an open world setting. If they get unleashed they could spread out from one spot and you as the player have to fend off their attacks on unsc bases or they will be turned. Alternatively let's say you have a mission at a banished base and as you arrive you see they are in the middle of getting attacked and in the chaos you get what you need and gtfo. Also you could arrive at a banished base and not see any troops so you're like wtf? But then as you enter you just get rushed by tons of flood banished! New flood types could get added and imagine seeing a huge flood abomination from HW2 in first person, I would shit my pants!:lol

    I always preferred fighting the Covenant to the flood, but that’s because I’m not a fan of mindless Zerg Rush type enemies. But to own his each!

    I prefer the banished to the covenant, it's nice to see an enemy not lead by blind fanatics but by a leader who strategizes and isn't held back by prophets.

    This I can agree on, the Banished are the best thing to come out of 343i era Halo. I’d be perfectly fine if they dropped the stupid “created” plot and kept the Banished as the main baddies.

    Same but they definitely have to wrap up the created plot since it was such a big event that it would be weird for it to just be sweapt under the rug after everything that happened.

    Much like the Star wars sequels, the Reclaimer trilogy was written with no real overarching plan. I mean they killed off their Big bad in a comic. I just hope they don't off Atriox in a similarly stupid manner.

    Given how Flight Simulator (2020) is only coming on the Xbox Series S and X, it wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft steps back from their original cross platform approach.

    We'll wait and see if this rumor is true or not...

    So weird to think, had the Cosmic Dice landed on another face, we'd be playing Halo I right now.

    I'm glad they're taking the time to get things right. Otherwise we could've had a cyberpunk 2.0 on our hands.

    Honestly? Alot of games these past couple years have come out rushed and incomplete, Halo Infinite being delayed means more time to make sure it comes out playable (unlike MCC's glitch-riddled release).

    I feel the same, there's been enough negativity surrounding Halo that at this point optimism can only carry us forward.
    Exactly, 343 haven't had the best track record at releasing finished games but they have no excuses this time. An entire year has to ensure that Halo Infinite is fully ready to go at release, i hope this is what brings Halo back.

    Is there anymore big news on Infinite? I haven't been keeping up on it very much, so I'm not sure if I missed any important details of the development. I heard they completely removed the classic shotgun in favor of their new shotgun the "Bulldog"? Sounds pretty lame to me, similar to when they replaced the SPNKR for no apparent reason. It's got a cool design, so I guess there's that. But I'd still prefer the good ol' M90.
