I think they could have come up with a more believable situation to destroy the Infinity, but Halo's not always blessed with great writing. You and I know the Infinity being casually destroyed is a big stretch, but the story isn't interesting if humanity is never pressured due to their supership casually destroying everything in its path and having all sorts of support ready & waiting. So anyway in the legendary ending they show atriox is alive and he could active something and seek his revenge. As per endless they r more dangerous than flood or at least how they describe it during the campaign.
#HALO INFINITE LEGENDARY ENDING SERIES#
My long winding point here is that the series wrote itself into a corner and they're trying to 'fix' it. Spoiler : halo infinite takes place right after halo wars 2 and few years later after halo 5. except now they're called The Banished and have angrier colors.
The UNSC superweapon (the Infinity) is gone, they're stuck on a Halo ring with a destroyed ship, lots of mysterious shenanigans, and we're still fighting The Covenant. Halo infinite is basically rebooting the series back to what it was at the start of H:CE. so they literally pulled Atriox and The Banished from nowhere. The first game got away with the Covenant, the second took place after H3 and the dissolution of The Covenant. However, this is much easier said than done. They were making an RTS game and needed a faction. Halo Infinite does have a Legendary ending, and you unlock it as you would in any other Halo game: Simply complete the game on the Legendary difficulty. In the beginning of Marathon a cyborg boards the UESC Marathon (the hollowed out remains of Mar's moon Phobos) during an alien invasion. The Banished were an asspull from day #1. My personal belief is that Bungie originally wanted Halo 3's ending to hook up with the beginning of their earlier first person shooter, Marathon. Narratively they're firmly established to be too powerful. You might as well be comparing tribal cultures with stone tools to the modern USA military. While this would obviously make a lot of normal day-to-day living particularly problematic, this agent doesn’t exactly do normalher situation making her an ideal vehicle to ferry vital intel to key. In anything but infinitesimally small numbers they don't work as antagonists well, their civilization was one of the most powerful in the history of written fiction. Halo Infinite: Memory Agent is the story of an ONI operative with a very specific condition: a memory that resets every seven hours. The Forerunners are far too high level sci-fi to make a good/relatable enemy that appeals to a broad audience that Halo markets itself to. The Covenant (and Flood) were dealt with by the end of the original trilogy, only remnants remain so there's no stakes in that threat ever resurfacing. With the many lingering mysteries of the Forerunners always looming in the background.
Outgunned and overmatched by superior numbers & firepower, only succeeding through wits, heroics, and the sacrifice of the few to save the many. Halo was founded on the premise of humanity fighting to survive as the underdogs. What you have to understand is that the writers wrote themselves into a corner as the years went on.
