That's why it's stupid, imagine selling your entire species existence crisis just for the sake of your own I call that coward, traitor and peak narcissist
I decked my Spartan 4 in Infinite in Banished colors, the emblem, and a prosthetic leg. My headcanon for him is that he was left for dead by the UNSC and got picked up by The Banished, who welcomed him in afte he proved his worth.
They even used human members of the banished as a form of physiological warfare on Zeta Halo against the crew of the Infinity. To help break morale, the banished used a human member to help process UNSC prisoners at the Redoubt of Sundering.
A Banished Spartan would be a terrifying boss fight. Imagine Locke joining the Banished. I know Locke was sort of a throwaway character from 5, but man...

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a halo game where your a human that’s part of the banished, and during the game you get to learn more about the banished.
Imagine a game where you play as a rogue turned banished spartan, a game where you play as a "bad guy" but with a actual full in depth story line, a spartan and his marines left behind abandoned by UNSC on a flood infested ark
To give an example. In the Rubicon Protocol book for Halo Infinite. There's an unnamed human working with the Banished and was inspecting captured UNSC prisoners.
still kinda wished they made human enemies in halo infinite with this lore because it would have been a nice shakeup. we've had alien enemies, flood and even robot enemies but never rebel human enemies
New Cortana: "Chief,Spartans detected near-" "oh dear" Chief: "What is it?" New Cortana: "Rogue spartans have been picked up on motion tracker" Chief: "Rogues?" New Cortana: "Unfortunately"
This one of the biggest reasons I don’t like the banished as a faction cause they don’t really have an end goal. The Covenants goal was the great journey, the flood was created by the precursors and end goal was to unify the universe under one hivemind, the forerunners thought they were supposed to carry the mantle of responsibility, but the banished kind of just exist. They’re fighting a war with no real motive and they’re just really boring.
That’s the point. Everyone has some massive mission they’re carrying out. The banished are tired of all of that and just want to live their lives however they want. No strict rules, no code to adhere to, nobody threatening to execute you because you said something blasphemous, no holy wars. The banished are just people who want to live on their own terms.
@@SURGEONAA2i disagree. It's what make the Banished unique. It's nice to see a organization with no greater goal in mind than the prosperity of their people. Something like that has such storytelling potential as individuals in the Banished would have their own individual goals, making characters far less one note rather than "evil fungus and evil aliens wanna eat you and kill you respectively" it's that free will idea that made Arbiter so compelling in Halo 2, when he realizes he isn't doing the right thing and that the Forerunners aren't gods. Of course, 343 fucked the lore thoroughly, but I believe the Banished are a great addition to the series unlike literally everything else.
@@burnttoast.2017 the Banished are one dimensional and boring. It’s the most cookie cutter idea 343 had because they’re not creative and they suck at story telling. The Banished are one of the worst additions to the lore. They’re just straight up bland and boring. “We kill and steal because freedom.” Yeah, so compelling and interesting. The Covenant was more complex than that. Their entire religion was based on a lie that was kept secret for almost 30 years. I can understand why someone would think the Flood is boring, but from my perspective there’s nothing more terrifying than a parasite whose end goal is to just want to spread. I think you’re just a 343 shill who hates the old stuff and whose first Halo game was Halo 4. Your idiotic comments about the Banished prove this.
Now imagine a group of Spartan 4s who go rogue and join The Banished. That could open up some interesting story elements both from their perspective and from those tasked with tracking them down.
I wish Atriox became a bro like the Arbiter. He is clearly not evil by any spectrum, he just wants his freedom and he wants to protect his own. Killing him someday would just be....shitty
I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. 1. The Endless could always betray him and he may have no choice but to side with humanity 2. Humanity reclaims the Mantle of Responsibility and decides to grant the Jiralhanae a new homeworld to make amends and allows Ateiox to rule it as long as he keeps the peace 3. The Prophets could return (been teased several times now) and he and Arby would definitely have reasons to want to ally against them then Honestly I hope he does survive, he's a great character that has a lot of potential for the future
This is the dumbest thing I have ever read. He literally kills just for the sake of killing and uses “freedom” as a front. Killing Atriox would be the most satisfying thing ever.
They should put banished spartans in the next game. Give us the good ol “evil version of the main character” thing and make us essentially fight a reflection of ourself. Could be a cool idea.
I wish they would’ve showed this in halo infinite like chief finds one thinking it’s an Allie only for the spartan to attack him and confuse him only when he defeats him does the Weapon tell him that many humans joined the banished
It’d be cool to see a group of human banished warriors in the future, for example captured marines. Not to mention, I can imagine quite a few insurrectionist cells would have very willingly joined up, this could be a perfect excuse to have insurrectionist enemies in a proper Halo game. With insurrectionist and unsc defectors making up the lower ranks, ODSTs and perhaps even Spartan rogues showing up as special forces/higher rank units. It could definitely give the Banished a twist that distinguishes them further from the covenant.
Which brings into mind a interesting question. What spartan program will likely be the most likely to defect. In all honesty, the spartan-IV would possibly be the only group of Spartans that would defect. Considering they are candidates who are from the conventional forces that voluntarily (who also met criteria) choose to become Spartans. Also considering they're the more emotional group of Spartans who actually discuss frustrations and concerns.
