For those who beat it on legendary. Hats off. I was raging on heroic
Sometimes I had to walk away from a boss fight
yeah i struggled a bit on normal, maybe im just bad but yeah the boss fights can be a pain
That last brute Chieftain made me rage so bad
@@kylecox8494 yeah fuck it and it's gravity hammer.
Legendary was fun imo, I like the pain
Atirox basically revealed he would be in the the final cutscene, when he said he would be the last face you ever saw in the opening cinematic, and he was not wrong
This game had a worse launched that halo 5.
Story good but everything else is disappointing
@@Koldus117 The only problem I see is XP, the movement, the weapons, the open world, its all pretty good, especially the open world that is a first try from 343.

Foreshadowing!
“Offensive Bias has been deployed.”
Straight shivers. That’s some DEEP lore right there.
what exactly is offensive bias and who is valkorian?
@@ploopy45 To describe it very shortly, Offensive Bias is a forerunner AI built in the later part of the war against the flood to control the remaining Forerunner fleets and defenses against the onslaught of the flood. Very advanced and important AI. Valkorian is a character from Star Wars, but the guy is referencing the voice actor, who has a very deep intimidating voice.
BatChest OMG CHILLS!!!
@@ploopy45 Offensive Bias was the Forerunner AI that acted de facto as Supreme Commander of their forces during the final stages of the war with the Flood, and waged war against Mendicant Bias, the Flood-allied AI that you hear from in Halo 3's terminals.
That's the AI that helped the forerunners beat the original AI that got convinced by the flood that the forerunners destroyed the creators (the flood) its kinda crazy. Look up the lore.
Woah that’s cool, I beat it on Normal and got the cinematic just without the dialogue, just the sound effects, this really does expand on where the game will go next.
Hey, just completed it on normal too!!
@@danobrien3232 Let’s go broseph, was it just me or were the hunters more difficult than most bosses?
@@tacohaloman just beat it on normal as well. I can't imagine the hunters on legendary..
@@tacohaloman lmao I wanted to cry , I spent so long and so much ammo putting in them :( ngl tho I did enjoy the new grunts voice lines 😂
@@ShoddyLegion I’ve seen clips, safe to say I’ll probably hold out for coop so I don’t go insane.
What if the reason that the endless are so dangerous is because they were able to survive the firing of the halo array and if they were to be infected by the flood then it would make the flood immune to the only fail safe the galaxy has.
That's my guess, as forerunners as a whole were protective and not necessarily malicious at the end of there life
And apparently some control of time that's a nasty combination if so imagine a gravemind or keymind "seeing the future" or going back in time...
For my understanding though the flood are a constant they will never die from my understanding due to the corrupted precursors
The rings eliminate anything that the flood can infect, not the flood themselves. Once most life in the galaxy was wiped out the remaining flood starved to death except for the populations kept on the halo rings in some sort of stasis. Unless 343 retconned that too
@@supercuttlefish6199 Retconned way back in Halo 2. The Rings kill the Flood directly too, now. Anything with a nervous system, including Flood Forms, dies.
This implicates that the Endless cannot be killed by the Halos... Which would absolutely scare the forerunners...
Also I'm ready for part 2...
One of the audio logs confirms it. I'd pay to see the look on Faber's face when he heard about that...
@@eliburry-schnepp6012 Faber? Imagine DIDACT hearing that the weapons that can destroy the Flood can't destroy the Endless. "Well, I suppose it's time to Compose the entire goddamn galaxy."
@@ihavetwofaces Yeah but Faber was so proud of the Halos, hearing that they werent perfect would break his high and mighty ego
But what are the Endless? Aren't the Flood endless?
@@ihavetwofaces The HALOs do not destroy the flood. Only their 'food'.
Just beat the campaign on legendary. I swear that brute chieftain at the end was harder to beat than the harbinger😂
DUDE FR
I just took his hammer and beat the shit out of harbinger at the end there 😂
I killed it like 15 times because of a damn checkpoint. I died easily to the Harbinger and got sent back to kill the chieftain so many times
@@STUNTHEINSECT samee
BRO FRRRR
"Offensive Bias has been deployed". God the implications of Offensive being in the Halo games now is amazing
Who is that
@@_bobertaii6414 Offensive Bias is the Forerunner AI that held off the Flood long enough for the Halos to be fired. It's basically the Forerunners' counterpart to the Weapon, except about a million times scarier.
@@_bobertaii6414 The other guy did a good summary but a little bit more in depth is that He was like the weapon, in that he was created to defeat the original AI, Mendicant Bias, which fell victim to the logic plague while fighting the flood. Offensive Bias managed to fend off Mendicant Bias's fleet for the halo rings to fire and even after until it destroyed Mendicant Bias. Things basically OP AF
which means mendicant too
@@_bobertaii6414 the copy of mendicant bias who was the greatest AI to ever exist until he got hooked by the logic pelage which basically makes you side with the flood cus they are smart enough to make you see it there way, he helped them fight his creators, the forerunners and spurred the first firing of the halo rings as he was knocking on their las defense due to being such a strategic genius, just like in infinite how they made a lesser copy of Cortana with pieces missing, they did the same here, only the AI was named offensive bias due to his only goal being to hold off mendicant and the flood long enough to let the forerunners do their end all plan, mendicant is still around, on zeta actually but he saw how he was wrong and locked himself away doing very little elsewhere, however this is big because this means that mendicant is taking center stage somewhere outside of the novels and hidden lore, we thought that offensive was the AI that the covenant disabled because he disagreed with the prophets, but if he is still around that could lead to mendicant
The "they believe we are here to help" line sends shivers up my spine. Forerunners really love themselves some war crimes.
This is after the firing of the rings tho, at this point if the endless were alive it became a threat to all life, if the endless can survive the rings then the flood are not rendered extinct
@@nicholasbrown668 that's 100% not the reason the forerunners did this to the endless, they straight up say it in this vid.
@@ipod4mode "If Halo cannot end them, it will Contain them" that quite literally implies they are receiving the same punishment as the flood, anything that survives the firing of the rings is a threat as it is a continuing food source for the flood, the flood dont die from the rings, they starve out
@@nicholasbrown668 he specifically mentions not allowing the endless to control time. Not allowing them to interfere with "their truth". This is in line with the forerunners getting butthurt over the idea of humans usurping the mantle of responsibility (see:didact). The forerunners cannot stand the idea of not being in control, not being gods. The games and books make this clear time and time again.
@@nicholasbrown668 I would also like to point out that the endless were not preserved on the ark to be reseeded after the halo array fired. The forerunners wanted to erase any evidence the endless ever existed
Dude, you’re a legend for this. There were parts of this game I struggled to get through on normal lmao, let alone legendary
it took me a lot of persistence and rage but i eventually got through it
I ram threw on legendary took 12 hours then beat it on easy is 4💀
@@Auxzo16 Good for youuuuuuuuuuuuuu 😉

Yep, Offensive Bias, oh boy
Edict: "Offensive Bias has been deployed" Me: "OH SHIT." *goosebumps*
1 sentence somehow creates so much excitement in the inner lore nerd
Hopefully this takes us back to the flood, mendicants still out there isn't he
@Omegaforge1 or he's fragmented through the entire Galaxy... and maybe even outside of the Galaxy
The voice acting for the Grand Edict is so fucking awesome, he really feeels like a character who has a strong presence, cold, cruel but logical and somewhat reasonable. He really sounds like what I would expect a forerunner to sound like.
It's Darin de Paul, who voiced Valkorion the Immortal Emperor in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

@@nadermohammed2733 Thank you!
I was wondering why the Promethans were a no-show. Because even if Cortana’s empire collapsed like a house of cards overnight, I’d expect some stragglers to wander aimlessly about or maybe the Warden to try and fill the power vacuum. But seeing this orange forerunner tech makes me think they’ll be arriving sooner or later.
I wouldn't be surprised if things like the Prometheans, Flood, Swords of Sanghelios, etc all get their own dedicated campaigns to explain what's going on with it
I just finished the campaign and I gotta say I prefer the promethean weapons over the banished. The skewer is dope, the rest are meh.
@@Aegis_Mind Just wanted to point out that they're not Promethean weapons, just Forerunner.
@@Aegis_Mind honestly the sentinel laser feels a bit overpowered, I know it felt underpowered in older games but man does it melt literally everything in infinite.
@@Aegis_Mind they’re also reskins of the shotgun, br, smg. That’s why they took them out in the first place. Most of the banished weapons have a place that isn’t already taken
This game genuinely made me cry, my uncle would have been so happy with me for completing the game on legendary he's no longer with us but he very much loved halo I did it for him and im happy that I finished the fight for him
Hell yeah man 👍👍
I don’t think Atriox travelled back in time, I understood it more as those beings could control time and that Atriox was releasing them from their prison on the ring. I thought the extra dialogue was backstory to give the player a better idea of what was going on
I agree, if I remember right, the normal cuts energy doesn't have the date at the bottom, only the legendary one. I think this implies that it's just the dialouge that's from that long ago.
100% what the scene is trying to convey. They are setting up what we’re looking at. And Atriox is messing with it in the present.
i think he did travel back in time because that's how he was saved by the ring explosion
@@TwistingStew69 he survived the explosion but didn't do so unscathed. Look at his face, half of it got melted off. I don't think he travelled back in time, he just went deeper into the prison of Zeta Halo.
Atriox face had white marks and his eyes are yellow...but this guy has none of them
Clearly the endless can control time somehow and this makes them immune to Halo. The Reformation did not just refer to the literal repairing of Zeta Halo, as that would be a bit dramatic. It referred to the actual reformation of the timeline itself in favor of the Endless and whatever their ultimate aims were. The forerunners also do not want the Endless free because this means that the Flood can infect them and the Halos would be useless. Additionally, it’s possible the flood could gain the Endless’s time manipulation abilities if they infect them. This would be bad.
Atriox is inclined to work alongside the Endless because Doisac was destroyed. He sees time manipulation as a way to potentially restore Doisac.
oh my god thats why atriox wants the endles
No bro
@@sethwalker5867 ?
Wheres did you get that they can control time?
"Flood can infect them". Stop with your fanboying, the flood have been relegated to second class evil
the cutscene happens on all difficulties I believe, Audio on the other hand only happens on legendary by the looks of it
Thats correct, i've just finished it on Heroic and got the same without the audio
Same here for normal, no audio
The legendary ending is about 30 seconds longer.
The scene is meaningless without the dialogue really... Everyone who knows who Offensive Bias is, understands that some shit is about to go down...
@@SyghtWoW heroic was so hhard and no reward like legendary
Atriox may have wanted to control Halo, but now he will learn so much more.
Maybe. What if the Endless decide to betray him?
@@cainabel6356 Judging by his past actions, I'd say he'd fight them head on. Very likely winning at all costs. Considering he had the ability to bring the Covenant to their knees, which the UNSC didn't, and then fough the UNSC and brough THEM to their knees. Granted, the UNSC was already broken from Cortana, but he'd still crush them like everyone else. So if The Endless turn against him, he will wipe them out.
@@AdamBeaudryMasterProton - I do not know. These guys are worse than the Flood. Then again Atriox is a bad mother, kind of like 177.
@@cainabel6356 Endless doesn't have reasons to betray Atriox. After all, Atriox is supposed to free those Endless, and Endless only have an amazing hate against the Forerunners for their actions
@@rotz117 - If that is so, humans would be their top ally, seeing how the Forerunners almost killed them all. The Covenant would be like the Forerunners.
offensive bias is an ai who basically runs on legendary difficulty 24/7, built to direct the entire fleet available to a civilization all simultaneously with extreme efficiency.
I beat it on heroic (should've went straight Legendary), and there was no dialogue for this scene. Loved the "ending"... very clearly set up for the next Story DLC that is apparently happening sooner than we think.
I expect DLC, but this seems more set up for the next game, not DLC

@@hellkerbex4895 hopefully so, i would rather get DLC then a whole new game. They could do so much to expand upon the story since the game is open world. all they have to do is perfect it and work upon it, rather than working on a completely new project.

- New Biome(s)
- Spartan and ODST orbital drop requests
- Weapon drop pod requests like Halo 4
- The Flood w/ bossfight against large gravemind type organism
- Space Battle mission or map area set between cruisers in orbit
- Siege defense

Bro “offensive bias has been deployed” is a new iconic halo line. Shit gave me chills
Disappointed that there's no Flood, Arbiter and the Sword of Sanghelios and any of the Infinity crew that's heard in the audio logs. But I'm just glad they didn't kill of Atriox without a good build-up.

If anyone found all the data logs in the game, the Endless are just a race that cannot be killed by firing the Halo rings, the forerunners were scared of this and thus locked them away on Zeta Halo to be studied.

It's going to be very interesting to see 343 try to delve deeper into the Halo universe just like they tried to do with Halo 4.
So far they're doing great with the lore it's already gotten a little deeper. While it has a lot of nostalgia and new ideas it keeps that mystery that halo ce had expands upon the verse like halo 2 and makes it just as grandiose as halo 3. I like it a lot it was very much needed

It’s the primordial
Endless are not precursor. They are a species found after the firing of the Halo Array by Forerunner Life Seeders.

Idk why everyone thinks time travel is going on, I think it’s pretty obvious that Atriox is just traipsing around on the ring and the voices are what’s from 97000 BCE
Because the Harbinger or something within the auditorium if not the auditorium itself clearly has the ability to manipulate time to some extent (hence why chief gets thrown 3 days into the future) and why else would Atriox bother to help the harbinger repair the auditorium if there wasn't anything in it for him. You could be right and I honestly hope you are cause time travel is such a mess to write in stories but it definitely seems to imply something more is at play.
Theres no time travel. Its an ominous voiceover being used as a story telling device to shoe the danger of whats happening in the present. People are just retarded
@@dr._breens_beard It's not retarded to think that what's going on is taking place 97,000 BCE if the fucking game says it's zeta halo in 97,000 BCE.

Literally, Atriox is there in the present and the dialogue is from back in the old days. Merely adding some context and more questions to The Endless and Atriox
I gotta say, it was pretty awesome. Actually felt a little bit more like an old halo game (overlooking the fact you can sprint and grapple and thrust). The grapple was so much fun, little bit like pathfinder in apex. They did a good job with combining the open world map with the actual story. Its not too much side stuff so you don't get caught up and fade away from the story too much. I enjoyed it.
you begin with a surprise attack on a ship, escape and journey to a mysterious Halo ,you have a witty (if annoying in this game) partner helping you, you meet a mysterious machine that runs the Halo and turns on you shortly after meeting them. you have a pilot named Echo that ferries you around, the Halo gets destroyed (severely damaged), there's a bunch of other Halo game plot points and references in there.

@@TheMeta141 I feel the same is just like a recycle story, personally I prefer to have continued with the story line of Halo 4/Gameplay, there were so many cool weapons that did not appear, I was also hoping to fight the prometheans at some point, it was just repetitive fighting the banished.

Endless are most likely the Precursors, the ancients when the Forerunners we're still around. Their basically living gods as their minds transcend their physical realm and are believed to be the ones who created most of if not all the sentient life in the milky way galaxy including Humans and Forerunners.
How would that work? The Flood are the Precursors. The only way there are any Precursors still alive is if some of the dust got to another galaxy and didn't become corrupted like the ones left here. If the Endless end up being the Precursors then that's some major retconnning/revisionist bs
@@Freelancer837 I think it was only some of them that became the flood. I wouldn’t be surprised if the forerunners locked one away before the flood even came into existence
If the Endless really are the Precursors, it doesn't make sense why 343 would obscure it now, instead of just coming out with the truth to better connect the plot. The halo community knows all the species in the lore. My guess is this is some entirely new race that somehow was capable of surviving the Halo effect, Forerunners hid them from the galaxy, and apparently needed Offensive Bias to deal with them? Now we have Atriox whom we don't get why he wants to release them, he doesn't bow to anyone, defies everything, is his own man but he wants to unleash something that the Forerunners were more afraid of than the Flood? These are some serious questions that really could've been explained in a full game campaign or at least parts of it. Yeah future DLC bs I know lol but that's not an excuse for poor campaign writing imo.
@@dom7day Well I think the Atriox thing makes sense given the dialogue and the ending cutscene with chief and the weapon (Cortana I guess…). Since the endless can manipulate time to some extent, I have a feeling that Atriox is going to try to use them to bring back his homeworld. Long stretch, but given that this game is seemingly a soft directional reboot of where the franchise is going from here, I’ve been looking at most things as Chekhov Guns. Especially since the story has been more focused and narrowed, I figure any info they’ve given so far is going to be crucial.
Nah, the precursors are the flood and they are these flower things that Guilty Spark is going to reseed in a different galaxy to atone for the forerunners crimes against them. The Endless are a different thing.

Fyi the voiceover is a flashback between a forerunner and despondent pyre when they imprisoned the endless. What we are seeing is in the present, atriox trying to free the endless.
I still have no clue what the endless is (are?)
There's audio logs for the Banished that contain fragments of Forerunner conversation, it would seem the Endless are a race who somehow survived the Halo array firing, something that should be impossible, and the Forerunners pretended to come in peace before imprisoning them.
@@KingOfTheSoulSociety my guess is the time warp that helped chief escape is their power. Like how the harbinger could teleport around. Maybe the endless can control space and time - firing halo wont work on them because they can just wind the clock back and stop it - ie imprisoning them instead. Or maybe they can just go forward in time after halo destroys everything, ie theyd be the only species left to hold the mantle.

@@unscinfinity3337 yes they could

This cutscene takes place during the forerunner flood war. At the very start of the cutscene it says it takes place 97,000 years BCE (before current events) What I think has happened is that Atriox was somehow sent back in time. I'm not really sure.
The Flood are the precursors
I think the reason the Endless are so dangerous is because they are capable of traveling through time. This argument between Grand Edict and Despondent Pyre, Zeta Halo’s ability to warp time, I think the Endless could not be killed by Halo because they could simply skirt Halo. Perhaps the Forerunners wanted this technology, this ability, to allow them to skirt Halo as well. To instantaneously send all life besides the flood to a future time where they would have starved in their absence, it would have saved everyone. Everything. The ability to not only survive, but simply evade the Halos altogether.
“Time is not a construct *we* can control.”
“And we cannot allow it to be theirs.”
So Aatriox becoming basically the Thanos of Halo
Escharum: *failed*
Atriox: "Fine, I'll do it myself."

This all but confirms that the endless are the precursors and the primordial is the flood
Notice how the cylixes move like the gears of a clock. Time will definitely be the theme of the next DLCs and games.
There's already some time travel weirdness happening in the game, for example right after the last boss fight you get teleported to the surface of the Ring and the Weapon reports that a few days passed even though the teleportation looked to us like it was instant.

@@VGeos_ they're finally fucking doing it
Endless are not precursors, they're mentioned to be a species called Xalanyn on a data pad in the game
Yep. I'm hoping that they'll tie into the Precursors and the Flood somehow though. We don't know much about them but I really hate the implication that there is ANYTHING in the Halo universe "worse than the Flood". That should never be a thing imo
Definitely, crossing my fingers for some convincing lore on why these guys are as dangerous as they're alluded to be, some form of precursor affiliation would probably make the most sense and be the most interesting concept for their place in the story, so here's hoping
@@Zee_Nine I think 343 are smart enough to pull something like that. For all their missteps, they've always been way better at integrating book lore into the games. It'd be a shame for all the lore-building around the Precursors in the Forerunner Saga to go to waste.
The Harbinger and the Skimmers both have the insect-like physical features that we've seen in concept art and in-book descriptions of the Primordial and the Precursors. Everyone sees a link, and I doubt that's unintentional.
Xalanyn and the Endless are not the same species. The Xalanyn are the Harbingers species, who are aiding the Endless in returning. Mainly because the Cylix that the Harbinger is found in is of different shape then the Endless in the ending
@@valkyrion_ex1173 Technically, what they mean is that a species that can survive the Halo Array is a horrific thing and can't be released, as if the Flood got to them...
Goodbye universe.
This is confusing but it's awesome to see Atriox back after what happened during the Campaign
He travelled back in time
@@husseinabd-alraheem8618 No he Didn’t
@@anthonyknight170 then what happened
As we already know, Atriox didn’t actually die like what Tremonious claimed and that claim was a lie all along.
@@omni6982 Man this ending is in present for all modes if you can check.
The only thing Legendary ending has a conversation from 97,368 BCE, 77 years after Halo Firing during climax of Forerunner Flood War.
And whatever these endless are, they survived Halo Firing.
Bro I rewatched this video like ten times and it literally gives me goosebumps everytime 😖 pretty sick ending dialog
Imagine playing as atriox in the time when the forerunners where fighting the corrupted precursors.
That would be amazing but I don’t think 343 are or will ever be bold enough to do that
@@yeet-qi7ys if they get the idea and are willing to execute it you could pull this off!
in that case they better make some weighty melee combat systems...
Playing as Atriox? Yeah
In the time of the Forerunners? Nah
I believe mabye with the endless we might that chance as him tho, kinda like in Halo 2 with arbiter.
Considering how Atriox is kind of the Brute version of Master Chief, i can see a campaign where we play as him kind of like how we got to play as The Arbiter in Halo 2 (and 3, for co-op). Would really hype him up as Chief's true rival.
I just completed Halo infinite on legendary most fun Ive had on Halo since 3
That's good I'm glad you enjoyed it
Same the elites were so dope glad to see them given justice again
Atriox has zero luck when it comes to standing on a ring
Knowing what happened in the Forerunner Saga, I am stoked to see if the Offensive Bias is still around and running.
Ok damn, the voice actor for Grand Edict gives me chills.
Then you would love Valkorion from swtor
Finally beat it on heroic
Darin DePaul, doing the Valkorion voice again. Fuck. Yes.
My thoughts exactly
Did anybody notice atriox doesn't have any gray hair in the video?
His war paint is also gone.
Turns out the Endless, are former Bungie employees.
They name dropped the endless in an audio log. The species is called (Xalanyn)
SPOILER WARNING
Long story short, an elder race, previously uncatalogued, know now as the Endless, somehow survived the firing of the Halo Array. As seen in the fight with the Harbinger, they have some weird time manipulating ability. The remaining forerunners that supervised the reseeding of the galaxy saw them as a threat and imprisoned them on zeta halo ( installation 07 ). They are not the precursors, the ancient godlike beings who created everything ( who's corrupted forms are the flood ), but the fact they survived what the precursor artifacts and the flood couldn't, as stated in the game many times, makes them a far more dangerous enemy.
Oh was that info given throughout the campaign?
I think it's ok tho I like it less than what I had thought up
@@joseSanchez-ej2oh Even more actually. Despondent Pyre mentions the race's real name in an audio log but I forgot it. Something starting with X-
@@Viciouss72 ah alright
Oh well
I didn't think it best for them to add something new
The only thing I don't understand or can't figure out is if the endless was there wouldn't ancient humanity and the flood have come into contact with them? If they "survived" the halo firing that means they were present right in the middle of a galactic war between humans/flood and forerunner. I can like, if they were hidden or locked up by the precursors and maybe the primordial knew about them since he was a precursor and told mindican bias about them before he went crazy and the forerunners then knew to find them and lock them away.
@@joesipple852 they simply took the story in a direction that conflicts with existing lore but bc it was kept "secret" they can dismiss this conflicts
My guess is that this is the leadership of the forerunners, who never told the full story of the precursors, and that the Halos were fired but failed to accomplish their actual goal ("if the Halos cannot end them")
I think that would be fine
Even in the first forerunner book it's always mentioned how only the highest level of forerunner leadership knew the whole story, the didact, Faber, and librarian were always having to figure things out, piecing things together, and the grave mind was always trying but mostly failing to talk with them. Maybe he wasn't able to tell them they were all getting played by forerunners' version of ONI
Nope proven wrong
They introduced a totally new faction instead and tied up loose ends left by Halo 5
Shrug seems like they were going one way but then made hard turns with each of the last three games
so the halos where either made to end more than just the flood or the endless are the flood which doesn't really make sense.
@@lionsecho814 I was trying to reconcile the ending with existing lore but turns out they just smack on new lore
It's really looking like they added time travel
Damnit
@@lionsecho814 Halo's purpose is to destroy all sentient life. What are you so confused about? If the Endless can survive the firing of the Halos, this makes them an obvious problem to their Mantle of Responsibility doctrine, and their survivability is why the Forerunners imprisoned them. They want to learn their secrets.
It all pretty much tells you the Endless = Primordials, and if that's true, then we already that the Flood are Primordials, so it means Endless = Primordial = Flood. So yeah, kinda makes sense to me.
The Endless are a separate species. One of the datapads reveals their actual name, and how Zeta Halo was positioned to receive diplomats and ambassadors from The Endless. The Harbinger is either an Endless herself or a servant of them.
The reason they are a threat, is due to them surviving the Halo Rings. It could be due to their nervous system working differently, and thus the rings can't kill them. The Halos target the nervous system of sentient species, but doesn't disintegrate them.
The Flood can infect anything biological, that has enough biomass by targeting the nervous system. Anything with an overly complex nervous system is harder to infect.
The Endless might be completely immune to the Flood and thus, the Rings. Which is why they were a threat. They could've risen to galactic dominance, and threaten the Forerunners plan of Humanity reclaiming the Mantle. The Endless could also be a cure of sorts for the Flood, which is why they are being studied.
So, detained for being a threat to the Forerunners plan. Studied for a potential cure to the Flood.
Heyyy a lore reference! I hope we get to see Medicant in one of the new campaign dlcs
Im sure we will at some point if the ten year plan also includes campaign.
I think Halo is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything.
On god i hope you’re playing🤣
based on what the dialouge is saying we are most likely 100% seeing offensive bias in the future. Now the endless is what really interests me. I believe that they arent worse than the flood in terms of what they can do, its what they mean to the flood that makes them so dangerous. They somehow managed to survive the firing of the halos which would mean that if they got infected then the flood would be immune to the only safeguard against the flood the galaxy has
This is what I've gathered so far. It will be interesting to see how this will play out in the future.
The halos don't kill flood it kills their food supply.
@@thegoatking9506 that’s what I mean, it would be a problem if the food supply also was immune to the halos, which the endless are

I spent too long venting about this game after watching your playthough LMAO
Back in time to fight the flood with the forerunners and og cortana sounds fun. But why does chief even need to be there?
Spin-off as a forerunner soldier, on the losing side like Halo Reach.
I watched your playthrough but idk, feels like the story keeps changing directions.
Three game arc is terrible. What is it? Rescue the princess? No she died off screen, the only interesting possibility- a fight to the death between star-crossed lovers. Nope. Theres good dialogue possible there- good drama, no forget it. Make it a brute youve killed a thousand times before. They couldve just added more and more crazy enemies- theres one new enemy in the game, and how many removed?
No flood, no prometheans... were there scarabs or drones?
Always felt the prometheans were kinda trash anyway. However I do agree with a new character. Play from the side of ancient humanity as they fought against the flood and the forruners. I would fucking love this.
@@mrblexit7152 yeah! i forgot about the ancient humanity thing. in my head im thinking like, A dust cloud rolling over plains but its just a giant wall of flood flesh.
about ten years ago there was a leak about halo 4; they wanted an open world thing utilising the cloud to have big battles going on in the distance, then it goes local when you get close and join it. The whole thing about the pelican and flying around and having saved weapons was from that leak too. That's what I really want- something techincally impossible haha
I just finished and boiiii am i disappointed, the fucking infinity destroyed by 4 rammy bois, THE MOST ADVANCED SHIP humanity ever built killed off screen like it was nothing, the like dozen of characters stories unanswered Lasky, buck, alpha 9, palmer, halsey etc all just either dead or elsewhere as ive heard, idk what they were thinking when they made this but for me it doesn't do the halo universe justice enough, its a good game just missing so much
@@W1NT3RS69 it's also a ten year game meaning we will get answers and most likely spin offs
The time gap between the firing of the Halo Array and this cutscene is 77 years.
“Offensive Bias”
I knew reading those Halo 3 terminals would come in handy some day.
Overall it was a fantastic journey! Absolutely amazing. It does leave alot of unaswered questions, like where is Lasky? Osiris? Blue team? Hopefully they'll add them in future expansions, I also felt that saving marines was kind of pointless, they spawn at fob's and that's it? Mabye a cutscene where they discuss their next steps, make Chief the defacto leader of the remaining UNSC presence on Halo. Then joining in the final assault before house of reckoning. But like I said, overall it was a fantastic journey, perfect mix of old and new
Keep in mind we will most likely get DLC expansion that covers these points. I mean, Lasky and Palmer have been in two previous games, and if Aritox still being alive proves anything, it's that they don't like "killing" characters off-screen anymore. Plus I think they left it at an open ending for expansion.
Well locke might be dead since the brute spartan killer on the tower has his helmet and chestplate on his shoulder and the radio grunt talks about how he got it
Just beat the game, it is amazing but story felt short. They were in the pelican at the end and the credits rolled. My jaw dropped in disbelief
Yeah it was great but not a lot happened. Felt like the first third of a story
dw just wait 2 years for them to release the rest in expansions for about $40 a pop
To be fair, the campaign is really only short if you spend most of your time just going for the next story mission. I was consistently trying to free FOBs, save squads, clear outposts, find spartan cores, etc. and I had a blast. The story itself is a bit shorter, but the overall gameplay time is through the roof. Consider how so many of the old Halo missions just had a lot of fighting on your way to story; that's the same here, but just diverted to the open world.
All that said, I wish we'd seen a bit of a different landscape at times, and maybe some scarabs. Also some kind of wasp variant that had two passenger seats for marines, akin to the hornet, would have been amazing.
@@FrontwaysLarry I finished every single Open World Activity during my playthrough and the game still felt incredibly short. It's a lot due to the writing and pacing. The game feels like it ends at the beginning of the second act.
@@StabYourBrain I didn't even have a problem with the lenght of the game. The pacing was just a bit weird sometimes. When you start the mission where you enter the second spear, it' basically done. You feel like midgame and maybe didn't do a lot of open wolrd activieties yet. 4 long missions in a row and the game ends. They should have thrown you back into the open world at least after Esharum. Otherwise the gameplay is very separated between long story missions and long open world sessions, which can get repetitive.
Bet if Bungie was still making Halo, this is how the vex would be introduced, wonder if the Cabal, Elksni and Proto-hive would have been catalogued as well
Wow, I've mentioned Offensive Bias a few times during my speculation on Halo Lore, even before playing Halo Infinite.
It's one of my favorite lore pieces. Nothing in the lore tells us whatever happened to offensive bias after his attack on Mendicate Bias, 10s of 1000s of years ago, but I do know is that it was still out there, thus leaving a plot hole for it's eventual return.
I just realized, this is the first time offensive bias has been mentioned by name in the main and even expanded universe halo games
Grand Edict: "You've won - it's over. You've stopped the Banished and defeated the Harbinger. But it's come at a price - Cortana, Halo. This entire operation. You see i've watched you work - come to understand your motivation. You think the only way is to kill them all - leave nothing behind - and you may be right. But we can't just shut it all down. Without the Halo rings it will be worse. I don't expect you to agree. But with this we can continue our work. I am not the villain in this story. I do what i do because there is no choice. Until we meet again."
The totally not evil speech of our boy Samuel Hayden.
I will love it like it halo 2 where when we played as arbiter from halo 2 but in the slsecond dlc we play as atriox
Needed this dialogue. Frames everything perfectly.
This game felt like a precursor to a Halo version of destiny
I got the same feeling too. The outposts, FOB's to liberate, new weapons along the way. Felt like a mix of halo and destiny.
Damn Corypheus so op he transcends games
Nope the VA is not Cory of DAI but Valkorian from SWTOR
OFFENSIVE BIAS BOYS, WE MADE IT TO THE DEEP LORE
Offensive Bias 0-0 Offensive Bias...now that's a name I have not heard in a long time...
Before the dark times....
I think the endless are most likely the Precursors (just given a new name). So we could possibly see an uncorrupted precursor in the next game. This precursor could somehow assist in releasing the flood from containment and act as their gravemind (since precursors are technically the flood) and maybe even re-activate Mendicant Bias. This could cause the activation of Offensive Bias to combat Mendicant Bias. Atriox might realize his mistake in releasing the Endless to gain power and reluctantly ally with Chief, the UNSC, and Offensive Bias to combat Mendicant Bias, the Precursor/Endless, and the flood.
Hol up!
Isn't Mendicant Bias a little...repentent,didn't he deliberately aid Chief during Halo 2 and send him some Data during Halo 3.
Or were those Fragments of him, and some other Fragments might *not* be so repentent....
@@bjornthefellhanded5655 yes mendicant was broken into fragments and tried to right his wrongs by aiding chief in Halo 2 and 3. one of his fragments was on the key ship chief was on. so his theory is likely incorrect. Although its a cool theory.
@@bjornthefellhanded5655 Yes, Mendicant Bias acknowledged the error of his ways and did his best to aid the chief. A fun side note. Cortanas story now mirrors Mendicant Bias’. Betraying their creator for another only to realize so once they have been defeated and attempting to repent.
Jesus christ none of that rings a bell. I'm really gonna need to go back and replay the series.
@@hotrod232086 mendicant bias and offensive bias aren't in the games except for, iirc, the terminals they are in the books
This story wasn't perfect but it was such a massive step in the right direction. It felt like Halo again. To know that 343 fired their entire campaign staff and there are no plans for a new campaign now or in the forseeable future at any studio is just so hopeless. I guarantee this will be another 6 year dev cycle and that they'll conclude this story through (comic) books again to make a "fresh" story, if they ever make another one to begin with. It feels like campaign is just dead at this point and with that, so is all my hope and excitement for the franchise. Halo became popular because of the campaign. To know that 343 has so callously thrown this massive feature aside in favor of live-service garbage has just killed Halo's entire identity. I thought Halo 5 was bad, but my god, Halo Infinite is the single worst thing that's ever happened to Halo...

Can we just fucking have the flood??? Ffs.
Don’t know how I feel about a potential time travel story in Halo. When I hear about “an enemy worse than the flood” I got excited but then immediately concerned when they talk about time. Kinda feel like every franchise brings in a time travel story when they can’t come up with anything else.
It fits well with Halo though. If Atriox is alive that means he must have access to the Endless power, likely that Orb he used. Seems like the Endless are exactly what their name says, they transcend time.
And if the Forerunners actually imprisoned them, perhaps they never should have had the mantle of responsibility in the first place? Maybe humanity now has to fight the Endless and show them that humanity deserves it now.
@@DanielCamargoTalks Guess we’ll just have to see if it’s well executed
I feel they are making way to the Primordials story arc. They are omnipotent and omnipresent if I'm not wrong.
What could possibly be worse than the flood? The Pre-cursors. It makes sense to me because "the silent auditorium" was used as a prison, courtroom and excution room all in one. What else did they judge but the pre-cursors for giving the mantle to humanity? Who else did they execute upon finding out humanity were given the mantle? Even The HArbingers dialogue alludes to this. I'm excited to see what comes next.
@@DanielCamargoTalks Doesn't fit Halo at all. Time travel stories are always a disaster when beings smarter and more powerful than humans have access to it.
Does this mean that the engineers or Huragoks know how to control time? They would have been the only sentient species on Zeta Halo for the last 100,000 years. Aside from the monitors and sentinels of course.
So the conversation between Despondent Pyre and the Grand Edict was in the past right? Offensive Bias was deployed to Zeta Halo at some point to imprison the Endless. Does that mean Offensive Bias is still active on Zeta in the current day?
Yes
