Campaign DLC | What could have been | Part.4

I love all of this I got the chills listen to this, and goosesbumps. And I cried, not because what has happened in this. But because this my never be canon. I love this and everything you do

Fantastic storytelling as usual, however I think them ending up on Reach before finding a way back to Earth would add a lot.

Chief's and Arbiter's personal connection to the planet could offer some great opportunities for character development individual and as a duo it would also offer some pay off to Reach's ending showing the planet being recolonized

What could have been. There are so many amazing possibilities for what Halo Infinite DLCs could have been. Out of everything the direction of Halo Infinite could have gone, we didn't get anything for the campaign, just mediocre multiplayer story that was swiftly abandoned, and a in-game store no one asked for. A shame really.

Do us all a favour and the next time 343i has a job posting for lead story writer or just a position in the story creation, god damn apply for it!

Seeing footage of the SAW had me wishing it made it to Infinite.

No matter what, I'm not giving up on 343i making a campaign DLC for Halo: Infinite.

Patience is my virtue and it always has been. I'm really excited for the future of Halo, especially if 343i also makes a Halo 3: Anniversary.

These two projects are my highest current expectations for 343i.

You rock man.

Watching this and rereading through Ghosts of Onyx has gotten me thinking about how much time is an influence in the wider canon of Halo. Halsey and Kelly made it to Onyx on November 2nd, 2552, where Kurt and his S-IIIs had been engaging the Onyx sentinels since mid-September.

If you haven't already, I'd love to see a dedicated video detailing the complete time dilating effects of the Forerunner crystal from First Strike and the different paths in time it set everyone onto.

Imagine if this was the game we got? Great job this is an amazing story

Id love to see your idea for Halo 7 based on this what couldve been series

Damn dude. I just watched them all back to back and it's a great story. Well done, great work!
I very much look forward to hearing your ideas on Halo 7!

I hardly ever comment on anyone's videos but I MUST SAY you absolutely earn ever like and subscribe you receive! I sincerely hope someway somehow Microsoft employs you for a lead position as a campaign/story designer.

You should apply to 343 for one of the narrative roles

PUT THIS MAN IN CHARGE OF HALO RIGHT THIS DAMN SECOND

this was actually so good like the Kevin Feige of halo right here

Can you apply for a writer position at 343

OK so what is the legendary ending?

My wish: Halo 7 opens up with Chief waking up from Cyro sleep while being greeted by Cortana. We start with events right after Halo 3. Halo 4 - infinite was just a horrible nightmare that Cortana simulated in Chief's dream to augment his training.

Someone hire this men and give him the money he deserves....

Jumping into this with part 4, I have a hard time believing that Atriox, or any Brute would ally with humanity, given that they've had opportunities to do so in Halo 2, with Tartarus, between Atriox and Captain Cutter on the Ark, and between Escharum and the Infinity and Cortana on Zeta Halo. The only time I distinctly remember that Brutes weren't all stupid, power-hungry, prey-seeking, blood-sport loving carnivores was with Maccabeus in Contact Harvest. The entire franchise seems to have forgotten that the Brutes specifically were brought in to be the cartoonishly evil henchmen, to contrast with the more intelligent, honour-bound, and cautious Elites. Other than that, I have to say, humanity NEEDS a breather from attacks on Earth to repopulate--perhaps as much as a century.

Like.. the floods final test for humanity is having their spartan warriors fall to the infection & turned against them.
Mendicant Bias &/or the Didact prevent the flood from finding its highest priority target.. the master chief.. by sealing him away & constantly retreating from installation to installation as the weapon fires them all before they’re completely overrun by the flood.
Chief’s only goal is to protect the weapon, & so he agrees to be locked down completely to avoid the risk of infection whilst the weapon is still able to operate forunner tech remotely within a certain distance away from his suit.
The Arbiter & the swords of sanghelios as well as the Banished join together to protect what little is left of the human race.. realizing that humanity must be protected as they hold the mantle & are the only species capable of operating the forunner technology built to combat such an overwhelming flood outbreak.. as well as being the gatekeepers to each shield world.. allowing any/all other species the ability to survive the firing of the rings.
The Ark being the start of the outbreak (halo wars 2) is completely consumed & destroyed, making the importance of firing the rings even greater because they can no longer be produced/replaced .
It is discovered that the lesser arks/greater arks come together to form shield worlds.
These Shield worlds offer the only salvation for all sentient life to survive the firing of the rings.
The Arbiter uses every ship under his command (given they are the fastest ships in the galaxy) as transports to rescue & evacuate hundreds of different planets to the safety of these shield worlds.

..as the banished take full responsibility for the floods release, they task themselves with all the main offensive & defensive operations against the flood, including their famed Spartan killer strike teams actively hunting every last infected Spartan by tracking their I.D transponders often taking them deep into completely flood consumed parts of the galaxy where they must then deploy a special A.I capable of enabling the Spartan’s suit self-destruction protocol.

Look.. there’s been no flood involvement since Halo 3, the Arbiter hasn’t been a main protagonist since Halo 2, we’ve never experienced a Brute protagonist, & regardless of whatever the future brings us.. these are the only things I hope ever get addressed.

Can someone please write this out in a fanfiction or something? Better than anything 343 or Bungie!

What makes this so awesome is the combined unity and effort of fighting togather for a commen goal with THE LAGREST Portion of RULE OF COOL from all Parties!

Halo's story is just full of 'could have been's

00, The TRUE lore for Halo-lovers (and fiction-lovers in general) is whatever makes for the best story. Yours is the best story. Thanks for the lore update.

Halo infinite just felt so unfinished

Really good job, that was some amazing storytelling.

To bad the only stories 343 industries is going to tell are the one's that make humanity the enemy

Awesome Vid Bro

What do you think their plan for Atriox was. By that, what are his actual goals for The Banished and his people once they have the ring. Not sure it's what 343 has planned, but for me his goals are to make sure his brothers and people never kneel to anyone every again as they did with the Prophets.

I hope if they include prehistoric humanity helping the unsc discover their past

In all the projects you have going on, can you add a halo reboot starting immediately after halo 3 to your list?

so, interstellar travel via ring-shaped gates, one of which turns out to be in Antarctica. Now where have I seen that one before...

Still don't see the point of kicking Atriox out of his own faction just to make him a good guy...

Who remembers wildlife, different biomes, answers to ancient humanity on Zeta?? Cause 343 doesn’t.

I feel like this might be sad viewing. I'll start this series from the beginning

Absolute fire my dude. No fuckin notes. Book it.

This series has to be one of the most immersive stories a Halo creator has made, thanks for your passion and keep up the good work!

I love you man i wish you worked at 343 because your stories are somehow better than Bungie lol you made halo 3's campaign look boring and lame 😂😂

I’ve been looking forward to this

Holy sh*t the day has arrived 😮

This was INCREDIBLE!

God how is it possible with so much potential, 343 couldn't take advantage of it at all

I shed a tear over what could have been. This was well put together, and I frown over the direction Infinite went

My goodness this was stellar. This music and visual choices were excellent and I LOVED the story! I'd love to play a campaign like this!

The recent release of banished themed Spartan armor just rubs more salt in this open wound. Spartans fighting for the banished could have been a great plot point for DLC. 😢 I try to be understanding and not bash on 343 as hard as some other people do, but I won't deny that I am disappointed as a fan.
